The attendance had dwindled down to 5,000, says Realer. The weather was still hot and the wicket rolled out firm after the rain which curtailed play on Monday and fell again, during the night.

Kelleway, the all-rounder, who WAR in bed

with on Monday ptomaine poisoning, was in much the same condition; and it was thought yesterday that his further participation in the match is doubth H Bty.

R.A. 5 4 0 228 had neither the service of Gregory nor of Kelleway in the attack yes- terday.

Accordingly, it will be appreciat- ed that Grimmett's six wickets for 131 runs without the support of the two cracks was a praisë. worthy offort.

However, Australia will probably be only able to bat nine men in. the last innings of the match.

THE SERVANT PROBLEM SOLVED Jn the not far distant future, the electrical servant will be one of the essentials in every home, according to the sponsors of the contrivance. Mr. William de Mille and his bride, Clara Berlanger, are pictured above, listening to Mr. E. W. Morris explaining the functions of the electrical servant. The motive power in the way of tubes and batteries is displayed through glass, and what "he" lacks in good looks is made up in performance.--(Tso Chailin Service).
