A bumping ball caused Macalister up" ah eP£ one iii the Slipf; Three wickets fell in six aWa, tFJfc'eighth wicket being down for 97'. Half an hour's partnership between Macartney and Cotter ensued, with some smart running between the pair. Macartney made some neat strokes. Then Cotter lost his leg stump in driving Rushby.

The innings lasted 155 minutes./ The full score was as follows: AUSTRALIA.—First Innings.

Lees, four wickets for 68; Crawford, norr; for 33; Rushby, six for 38. A heavy shower of rain stopped further play for some time. After lunsh the weather cleared but was still unsettled.

Surrey, on going in for the second time, made an inauspicious start. The third wickat was down when only 27 rur.s had been scored. Hayward was watchful, and made some fine hits, occasionally securing five for an ondrive off Noble. Crawford, playing unevenly, whet] h| had played Macartney on without dislodging hi 3 bails. The light grew bad, and play ceased for twenty-five minutes. Rain was also falling. An off-break of Armstrong dismissed Crawford, who had batted for an hour, the fourth wicket falling for 57. Hayward surely and steadily swelled the score. At the drawing of stumps ejght Surrey wickets were down for 161. Score: — SURREY. First Innings 191 r Second Innings.

The fifth wicket fell at 102, and the eighth for 139. Hayward gave a masterly exhibition of chanceless cricket.
