South Africa, with one wicket down for 33, continued their second innings, and at the close of the day's play have lost six wickets for 368. Following are the scores:— AUSTRALIA.

He has completed the unique record of having aggregated 100 runs in each of the five test matches. He compares favourably with-the best Australians. Although not so brilliant as Trumper, he is safer, and, except for his right hand style, he resembles Bardsley with the bat-. AUCKLAND v. HAWKE'S BAY. [By Telegraph—Press Association.] AUCKLAND, Monday. Hawke's Bay are all out for *167, Auckland thus winning by an innings and 275 runs.
