On play being resumed in the Australian Hampshire match at Southampton to-day, the weather was summerlike, but the wicket was difficult. The attendance numbered about a thousand. The Australians' innings was little more than a procession, no one, excepting 'M'Alister, being able to withstand the bowling of Newman, who captured the whole of the eight wickets, the other two men being run out. He took seven wickets for 24, finishing with eight for 43. The third and fourth wickets fell at 39. M'Alister and Armstrong carried the total to 61, then Armstrong was taken at slip off a rising ball. Newman got rid of Gregory and Macartney in the same over. Six wickets were down for 71, and seven for 75- M'Alister played a plucky g&me, lasting 40 minutes, his departure leaving the score eight for 82.

Hartigan added a single. Laver, the last man, hit the first ball sent him into Remnant's hands at mid-or>. The innings occupied altogether 75 minutes, the players being at the wickets to-day for 50 minutes. The pitch was most treacherous. Scores: — AUSTRALIANS.—Forst Innings.
