The weather. was glorious when the second day of the Teat opened at Lord's. There were some 7,000 spectators to see Ames, the over night not out, resume the innings with G. O. Allon. Shortly after mid-day His Majesty the King arrived at the ground, and later the teams were presented to him in front of the pavilion.

The batsmen played bright and enterprising cricket and Ames. sent two full tosses off Merritt to the boundary in succession to put the 201 up after 105 minutes' play. The Kent stumpor later pulled the same bowler for a beautiful sixer to complete his half, century amid great applause. Ho had been at the wickets för 80 minutes.

ALLEN PLAYS SPARKLING GAME.

Allen had by this time settled down to sparkling cricket and sent one of Merritt's deliveries into the grand-stand for a aix Lowry changed his lowling frequently but this did not seem to upset the batsmen whose partnership realised 100 in 75 minutes. Brilliant felding on the part of Dempster, Mills and Lowry saved many rans but the 300 was hoisted after 235 minutes' play." Shortly after Allen late-cut Cromb and thus beat the England. eighth-wicket partnership racord of 184 runs which was set up by Bromley-Davenport and Wright at Johannesburg in 1895-6.

AMES COMPLETES HIS HUNDRED.

Leslie, Ames up till now had treated the spectators to somo de- Hightfully free cricket and in this respect he was very ably support- ed by Allen. Just before play was adjourned for lunch, England's wicket-keeper, to the joy of his supporters, scored two successiva. fours off Merritt and incidentally entered the land of three figures His scora stood at 103 and up till now he had been batting for 145 minutes. Allen too, had been collecting his runs rather rapidly and was only two short of the magical hundred when play cens ed. The total was then 383, for 7-an addition of 105 to the over night total without further loss.

Ames jumped out to a ball from Weir but failed to connect properly and was caught by James. Ames had been at the wicket for 210 minutes and scored 137 runs. He hit 2 sixes and eighteen fours by masterly drives and pulls. The score then read 438 for eight wickets,"
