ENGLAND v. AUSTRALIA.

London, December 17 The Dailj Chionicle applauds Gregory's fim innings, and considers that the match shows tr at in future England will be hard pressed to hold its own Syeket, December 18 The weather was fine and cool to-day and th? re was a large attendance. All werp keenly inte estcd to see! ow the Englishmen wcu ci get on in their attempt to overhaul the heavy lotal before them. Ward and AdcLaren were the first pair to face Junes and Turner. Blackham was unable to resume his station behind the wickets, and McLeod to k bis place, Giaham fielding as substitute. jhe wicket still played well, and was in favor of the batsmen. After a few overs Jones gave way to Giffen, but 1 urner was very straight, and little could be done vith him. Runs came. slowly till at 44 Giffen t)p .vied McLarea whtn he had made 20. fcjioddarfc followed, but found the bowling too good to permit of his usval dashing batting. At lunch time the score was only 65, the result of 1J hours play. Upon resuming Jones relieved Turner, and the century soon appeared. This brought Turner back and once more the scoring became slow. At 115 Stoddart was well taken off Turner low down by Giffen when he seemed set for a big score. Brown filled the gap, aud another good stand was made. Ward wa3 in great form, and hit all the bowlers impartially. Trott and Reedman wore tried without avail, but the Lancashire profesaional was nearly run out through Brown's attempting a short run. Lyons took the ball from Trott, and Ward hit him twice to the boundary shortly after, which, for the third time during the tour, carried his ' total past three figures. Brown meanwhile contented himself with playing a defensive game, and left his partner to do the run getting. Despite frequent changes 200 runs , came in site, but 17 runs later Giffon got a trimmer past Ward, who had played a masterly innings without a chance. The partnership produced 102 rnns, and made it certain that a one innings defeat would be saved. With Brockwell and Brown to gether the batting relapsed into tameness. The latter after a patient display reached 53 and immediately after was magnificently caught by Jones at leg, a feat which he entirely discounted by badly missing Peel. Reedman took the glove 3in order to let McLeod have a turn with the ball, but no other wicket fell before play closed for the ■iday. The fielding of the Australians showed a marked improvement on the pre vious day, but the bowlers were quite un equal to their work. The following is the score •— i Maclaren, b Giffen ... ... ... 20 Stoddart, c Giffen, b Turner ... ... 36 Ward.b Giffen 117 Brown, c Jones, b Gif Fen ... ... 53 Brockwell, not out ... ... ... 20 Peel, not out , ... ... 9 Extras ... ... ... 8 Total for 4 wicket 3. 203

I ■■ ' ■ [ ■ ' ■ ■ I FARMEB-: LOOK HEBE! ARE YOUR MOWER SKIVES RE4DY FOR WOBK? I I ha^e just received supplies of the New Model Button MO WEB KNIFE GRINDER i .■' ■■ ■ ■■.. : ■ ' « KEEP THE KNIVES SHARP" Is what every manufacturer of mowers directs. With this grinder it can eattfy be done. With a dull knife, the wear and strain, both 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 ease and rapidity: When a section ia dulled or nicked by coming in contact with a stone, as often happens, it can be sharpened without grinding the other sections, THE " CORUNDUM GRINDING WHEEL " does its work well, ft wears but little, and will last, according to the amount of work dove, from three to five years, and probably longer. Thers is a large hole in the ceutre of the wheel, made water tight 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 ia then plugged up. When turning the wheel in grinding, the water is driven through its 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, Btands facing the side of the wheel and over iheknife clamp. This brings the grinding of the section directly under the eye. By means of a new improve* ment the grinder can he readily clamped to a pole or the rim of any wheel having a width of from 3to s|inch«s. It requires but little skill to use this grinder; the directions sent with each machine will, if followed, enable anyone to work it without trouble. These machines are protected fully by patents in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Belgium, and Sweden F.
