Hickmott was especially good in the long Held. The .bowling, on the whole, was mediocre. The New Zcalamicrs shaped better in their second venture. Sneddon made some excellent, effective and stvlish strokes on both sides of the wicket," and reached 50 in seventy-eight minutes. He scored four fourers. Ilemus was stylish and showed good judgment. Tuckwell gave a colorless display for 72 minutes in which he scored' three fourers. McDonald ruptured a knee sinew, W. Carlton acting a substitute. At the luncheon, Mr. MacKinnon, president of the Association, said the New Zealanders had come, not with the idea of heating the Australians, but because they wore anxious to learn and gain ideas of value to the game in New Zealand. He hoped the'result would be that before long New Zealand would be able to take her place with Australia and Africa and heat England on level terms. Mr. Reese expressed disappointment at the performances of the bats- [ men, who had not reproduced the form j shown in New Zealand, being unable to get accustomed to the fast wicket.
