Rain prevented any play on the second or third days or the North would haveprobably added another to its list of successes against Australian teams. W h a tcricket there was in the match wasall in favour of the bowlers . Thirty- one wickets fell in the course of the day for an aggregate of 125 runs , or an average of a fraction over four runs.

A very well contested game too, w o nby the English eleven , after an exciting finish , with four wickets to spare . Messrs . Jones (87) and Jarvis (45) batted well for the Australians , but of the rest Messrs . Scott (21) and Trumble (24) alone got double figures , and this quartette accounted for 177 of 204 from thebat. In a minority of eighteen on the first hands the Australians showed to worse advantage whenthey went in again , and so good was Barlow's bowling ' that the captain , Mr. Scott (47) , alone got over twenty -five runs . England , with 106 to win, made a bad start , and four of the best batsmen were out for only 37 runs . Barlow (38) not out) who with Mr. W. W. Read (51) had been the highest scorers in the first innings , wasthe saviour of his side at the crisis with a well- played 30, and Mr. A. G. Steel (19 not out) and he helped mainly to England's victory by four wickets . England , 223 and 107 (six wickets ) ; total , 330.- Australians , 205 and 123 ; total , 328. Overs. Maidens.
