Cricket.

Sydney, November 26. The game was resumed iu great heat, but after lunch the wind Bwung round to a cool quarter, and the lot of the fieldsmen were rendered more tolerable. Poid«vin and Iredale began with the same freedom they displayed yesterday, and soon . mastered the bowling completely. Quaife was put on, making the eighth bowler tried, but the batsmen kept going merrily till luncheon, Iredale batting more in his old-time style, free and clean, and Poidevin getting in clean and hard strokes. The recovery of the New South Wales team after so bad a start was one of the finest that had ever occurred on the ground. Immediately after lunch, McGahey at short leg snapped up Iredale ofi Jones. Poidevin had an ovation on topping Maclaren's score. He had strained his leg, and had C. Gregory to run for him' ' Clarke, the last man, scored 10 runs before he was out leg before. The following are the soores : NEW SOUTH WALES. 2nd Innings. » Kelly, c Maclaren, b Braund ... 25 Howell, b Barries 27 Trumper, b Bruuad ... ... 12 Hopkins, c Tydesley. b Brauhd ... 4 S.

Requiring 372 runs to win, the Englishmen opened their second inniugs. McGahey and Maolaren began the task. The former bad scored a couple when he stepped out tu Clarke and spooned the bail softly to Gregory at point. Hayward joined his captain, and steady play brought the score to 82, when Maolaren narrowly escaped being run out owing to a smart return by Trumper. The century appeared in an hour and forty minutes, both batsmen hitting splendidly. Hayward bad just got over the half century when Glarke got him with a beauty. Very slow play followed Quaife's appearance, and he was at the wickets twenty minutes before obtaining a single. Clarke had the batsmen tied up. Quaife tipped Howell into Kelly's hands at the wickets. Maclaren, who was playing Clarke very gingerly, smote one back, which the bowler accepted. Tyldealey and Jones played out time.
