(THROUGH ZEUTER'S AGENCY.]
Maponya, March 15th. Friday's cricket was a dour struggle between batsman and bowler, and the whole day's play yielded only 166 runs for the - loss of 4 wickets. Australis thus still need 113 runs to win with 6 wickets in band.

Melbourne was in a ferment of excitement at an early hour, and 12,000 spectators were present when play opened. After lunch this number had swelled to 20.000 amongst whom women were largely represented, while no less than 35,000 people were present at the clone, when ́stumps were drawn early owing to bad light. The wicket was vory fast when Oldfeld: (0) and Hornibrook (1) rez} sumed the Australian innings this morning, facing the task of scoring ergruts in the fourth innings to win the last-Test Match. batamen put up a stubborn resist ante to the bowlers, and it was not until the lunch intervalythat Ham- modd dlean-bowled Hornibrook, At this point Oldfield had scored

After lunch Woodfuil same out to partner Ofield, and the score ad vanced very slowly to 80, when Hammond dismissed Oldfeld, again hitting the sticks, Oldfeld had played a very plucky innings which Jasted for 155 minutes and included three:4's..
Australia's usual opening pair' then came together and the century was' reached without further loss after 192 minutes' play. Hammond had found a spot and was making the ball get up hastily, which still further reduced the rate of-scoring. Woodfull and Jackson were still together at the tes interval, which was taken with the score 'at, 108, the batsmen having made 29 and 9 respectively.
Woodfull Rowled.
When 20 runs had been added after tes, Hammond clean bowled
