Adelaide, January 15. B The weather was delightfully cool " to-day, and the wicket played well, although showingsigns of the ordeal through which it had passed. The following are the scores Australia. first innings ... 238 Second innings ... 411 Grand total ... 649 Enoiakd. First innings ... 124 Socond innings ... 143 Grand total ... 267 Incidents of the Play, Adelaide, January 16. Stoddart made one of the biggest hits yesterday ever seen on tho ground, fully one hundredand twenty yards from the wickets. When Trott caught Richardson it Mwas the work of a second to transfer Wtheball from hand to pocket with the remark " That's worth keeping." It it not too much to say that A, E. Trott's bowling was almost unplayable, none of tho batsmen were easy when facing him, and he not only varied his pace, but nevor once lost his length. Never since Palmer in 1879, took nine wickets for 99 against Lord Harris' eleven, has an Australian bowled with such success against an English eleven, and no young player, English or Australian, ever made bis debut in a test match so sensationally. Sir W. Clark, President of the East Melbourne Club wired, " Toll Albert I'll give him a guinea for! every wicket he takes." j Speaking to the toast Stoddart said he had been beaten not by wicket or luck but by the best all round cricket. He heartily congratulated Trott on his success.
