AUSTRALIA v. YORKSHIRE. AN INTERESTING MATCH* By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—■Cc.Tjyrfght. London, July Th© match between Australia and Yorkshire was resumed in sunny and and breezy weather, the attendance in the afternoon numbering 12,000. Official correction of yesterday’s score: Gregory, st. Allen, b Waddington Tim ball rebounded from the wic-ket-keeper’s pads.

Accurate bowling, perfect fielding and defensive batting gave a test match air to the truggle. The first, third, fourth and fifth overs were maidens. Seven overs only produced 11 runs. Arm prong displaced Macdonald at 4-0. Oldroyd sent the first ball to leg and hit the second with terrific force into .Hailey’s hands at mid«on.—Two for 44. The same over Robinson got his leg in front of Armstrong. After this the bowlers maintained the upper hand and the wickets fell rapidly. Holmes was in nearly , two hours for his 26 but, apart from him. Burton was the only one who could stand up to the bowling with much success. A feature of the game was that each bowling change 1 immediately came off. The returns r from the long field were also remarkh’ble, Taylor and Macartney both hitt\ag the stumps with full tosses. Nine wickets fell for 90, but Waddington, the last man, showed determination and., with his captain, saved the follow on, amid cheers. Burton played a sound and attractive game, and was the last out. The innings lasted 170 minutes. Robinson and Wadidugton were ti>< first bowlers, and Bardsley was caught close up at 12. Collins and Macartney scored with some freedom. The forme’' was caught oil a no-ball, and off the next delivery was taken at short-leg. with a total of 43. Macartnqy at first took time to tune up, and then made some delightful strokes, both off drive? and cuts, but after 40 minutes was caught at the wickets. The total was then 80 for three, and his was the limit of the Australians’ success. Wilson

and Rhodes came on, and the latter rattled out three men in quick succession. Taylor alone being able to keep hi* wicket up. Details of the play are:— AUSTRALIA. First Innings • 25b .Second Innings.
