CRICKET.

ENGLAND v. AUSTRALIA.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Sydney, December 20 The weather was fine to-day, but heavy rain throughout the night rendered the wicket very dead, and as the game went on it became worae and worse. Darling (44) and Giffen (30), the not outs of tha previous day, faced the bowling of Peel and Richardson. Darling soon began to lay the wood en, and 120 was up in a few minutes The same batsman then made a great hit over the fence, and caused 50 to appear opposite his name, but after adding a 3 sent one into Brockwell's hand, which the Surrey man held. Gregory followed, and Giffen almost immediately gave Brown an easy chance at point, which was not accepted. Briggs took over the ball from Richardson, and a few minutes later Giften was out lbw. Iredale was next, and the scoring was slow. When the newcomer had made 5 he drove one of Briggs' back to him and had to retire. Keedinan joined Gregory, and the latter began boundary work, sending a couple to the fence, but his life was cut short as he tipped one of Peel's into Gay's hands. McLeod filled the gap just in time to see McLaren miss his companion, but the next ball from the Yorkshire pro fessional was fatal to the South Aus tralian. Turner was the next man, and every hit was watched anxiously, as what seemed an easy victory re solved itself into a tough encounter. In view of the position of the game ■when the stumps were drawn last night there was very small attend ance, and dismay came over the faces of the spectators as the pro cession to the pavillion continued. Turner had only scored two when he spooned one of Peel's into Briggs' hands. Jones came on to try and stop the " rot" which had set in after Gregory's downfall but immediately lifted Brigg's to McLaren. The hopes of the Australians were now centered in. Blackham, fifteen runs still being required to gain the victory and only one wicket to fall. The Englishmen were fielding magnificently, despite the chances which they missed. Blackham was again showing his adeptness in sneaking runs, and there was much excitement as the score gradually rose, but the wicket-keeper drove one back to Peel which was taken, the innings closing for 166, leaving the English men winners of the great battle by 10 runs. The downfall of the Australians is partially accounted for by the terrible state of the wicket. The following are the scores:—• Australians. First innings •• ••• ... 586 Second Innings. Lyons, b Richardson ... ••* 25 H. Trott, c Gay, b Peel ... ... 8 Darling, c Brookwell, b Richardson .. 53 Giffen, lbw, b Briggs ... ... 41 Iredale, c and b Briggs ... ... 5 Gregory, c Gay, b Peel ... ... 16 Reedman, b Peel .- ... 4 Turner, c Briggs, b Peel .. ... 2 Jones, c McLaren, b Briggs ...

First innings ... ... •■• 325 Second innings  .. ... '13? Grand total ,„ 76*2 Intense excitement prevails in the city over the result of the cricket snatch, which came as a thunderclap. The general public refrained from attending the conclusion of the game, being confident it would result in an easy win for the colonials. London, December 18 The Chronicle, writing before the result of the match was known, con siders Stoddart's team, by theit fine batting in the second innings, have re deemed their honor. Taking into account the fact that they had a worse wicket to play on than the Australians, the Chronicle thinks their play was quite equal to that of the colonials.

FARMERS LOOK HERE! ARE YOUR MOWER &NIVES REUDY FOR WORK? I ha^e just received supplios of the New Model Button MOWER KNIFE GRINDER. "KEEP THE KNIVES SHARP 9 Is what every manufacturer of mowen directs. With this grinder ifc can easily b* done, With a dull knife, the wear and strain, bofr on machine and team, are greatly increased, and the grass will be badly cut. A man, or even a boy, with this machine, can grind mower knife perfectly, and with east and rapidity; When a section is dulled or nicked by coming in contact with a stone, as often happens, it oan be sharpened without grinding the other sections. . ' ' . • THE "CORUNDUM GRINDING WHEEL" does its work well, it wears but little, and will lastt, according to the amount of work done, from three to five years, and probably longer. There is a large hole in the centre of the wheel, made water tisrht by the flanges which clamp the wheel and hold it in position. When the machine is used this hollow space is filled with water through a small hole in the side of one of its flanges; the hole is then plugged up. When turning the wheel in grinding, the water is driven through ita pores by centrifugal force, completely wetting its grinding surface. This prevents the temper of the knife trom being destroyed, which would be done if the wheel were used dry. THE OPERATOR while grinding a knife, stands facing the side of the wheel and>ver the .knife clamp. This brings the grinding of the section directly under the eye. By means of a new improve ment the grinder can be readily clamped to a pole or the rim of any wheel having a width of from 3to sJinches. It requires but little skill to use this grinder; the directions sent with each machina will, if followed, enable anyone to work it without trouble.
