NEW SOUTH WALES V. NEW ZEALAND.

Lancaster, Park, December 30 At 104, Shea relieved Callaway, and more monotonous play followed. Rains brought his score apto 50 by pulling Hume for three. Cobcroft took the ball from Hume at 108, and two singles to Rains caused 110 to go up. The batsmen were not at home with Oobcroft's slows, and at 116 Rains waa given out leg before to him. The outcomer was loudly applauded for hia serviceable score. 116-8-55. Pearce followed and nearly lost his wicket through his partner not responding to his call, a single for an overthrow resulting. Pearce opened by sending Ooborofc to the leg boundary, 120 going up. Blacklock did the same in the same bowler's next ball. The next ball shaved Blacklock's wicket and went for four byes-—l3O up. A pair to the Northern man, and Pearce farther livened things ap by hitting Shea grandly to the square leg boundary. At 137 Hume took the ball from his skipper and Hold ship fielded substitute for Noonan. With the score unchanged Hume fairly beat Blacklock with a good length off break. 135—7-23 Fisher joined Pearce and drove Hume for a single. Cal laway toolr the ball from Shea, Pearce longed out at Hume and sent him high np over the bowler's head, the ball dropping safe between two fieldsmen. A single to Fisher sent 140 ap. Each batsman got a couple, and at 145 an adjournment was suade for afternoon tea. On resuming, Fisher drove Hume for a single, and Pearce cat him magnificently to the boundary and drove him Iqually well to the off track. 160 op. The same batsmen caused an alteration in the placing of the field by driving Callaway for 3. In the Bame over, however, Fisher opened out ro Callaway and was bowled. 158—8—-7. Downes was next, and Pearce greeted him ■with a 3 to square leg. 160 up. The Midlander again got Hume to the leg boundary for 4, and the batsmen further made the play merry by running sharp singles. A pair to Pearce sent 170 up, and the same batsman gained hearty applause by catting Callaway to the boundary. Two more sharply run singles pleased the onlookers immensely. At 17V Cobcroft relieved Hume, and at once made a successful appeal against Downes for a catch at the wickets, the decision not being at all relished by the batsman. 177—9 —2. Robertson partnered his erstwhile club mate, and played the rest of the over safely. Pearce got a lucky 4 in the slips, sending 180 up. Two Bingles to the same batsman, and Robertson broke his duck, also with a single, and then cut Callaway late for a triplet. In the same over, however, Pearce was beaten with a fast one, the innings closing at 4.55 for 187. At 5.20 the New Zealand men took the field, being followed by Cobcroft and Wade. Robertson bowled from the Railway end to Cobcroft, who cut the slow bowler for a single first ball. Wade made a similar stroke for 3 The laßt ball of the over the New South Wales skipper put hard into Downes' hands at short leg, but it was dropped, a single resulting. Fisher took the ball at the other end, and with his second ball bowled the opposing skipper with a hummer, this feat being greeted with loud applause. s—l—2. Walford followed, and a leg-bye was scored off his ribs. Four for byes jn the same over sent 10 up. Walford opened with a3 to leg. Singles and a 4 to leg by Walford sent 20 up. With only a single on, Fisher made a successful appeal against Walford. 21—2—9. Poidevin filled the vacancy, and finished the over. The loss of the two wickets steadied the play considerably. Several singles came, and then Poideun opened fail*"score with a nice cut to tho boundary Cuff gained applause by fast following and stopping a hard drive to the off boundary, and cut the next ball for another 4. 40 up after thirty-five mir-u'es' play. At 43 Downes relieved Robertson, and Wade Ute cut hiro oft for a couple and dragged him to square leg for 4 A single sent 50 up. More singles followed, and Wade chopped Ffsher prettily for 3 and drove Downes for a brace. A'single toPoidevin jsent 60 up. The same batsmen cut Downes nicely for 3. Wade drove Downes for 4, m \& at 68 Pearce took the ball from Fis.ber and off his third ball Wade made a mishft which soared up in the air and appeared likely to fall between the two men on the leg side. Labatt, however, came very fast from the slips and just got to it, bringing off a nice catch. 68—3-31. Pryor joined Poidevin. A sharply run single nearly lost the newcomer his wicket, Coff returning the ball brilliantly. A pair to Poidevin senb 70 op, but play then became slow. At 74 Fisher relieved Downes, and Pryor drove him over Cuff's head for 3. Singles took the score to 79, and time was then called. Lancaster Parr, December 31 The match was continued at 11.18 this morning in extremely fine weather with a fair attendance, considering there was no holiday; Poidevin and Pryor, who were not ont 26 and 5 respectively, faced the bowling of Fisher and Pearce. Runs came freely from the start, and 80, 90, and the century appeared on telegraph board in rapid succession. Each batsman made several good strokes to off, but the fielding was not so good as it ought to have been. At 104 Downes took the ball from Fisher, Poidevin hitting the last ball of the first .ow to the leg boundaiy. The play then became quitter, bnt 110 and 120 appeared without disaster, Poidevin completing his 50, which caused the latter total to be posted at 125. .) Nat at noon Poidevin was caught an^ bowled by Pearce, and retired for 64. Burton filled the vacancy. Barton only scored a single, and was then caught at the wicket by Rains off Downes. Callaway was next in, but he was caught fey Labatt at slip off Downes with the acore unaltered. Five and six wickets for 126. Noonan joined Pryor, but the rapid change in the game caused the bats men to play cautiously. At 12.30 p.m. the score stood at 141 for six wickets ; Pryor not out 26, Noonan not out 8, extras 10. Noonan soon settled down, and played free cricket, while Pryor exhibited a good defence. The score quickly raountod, so that at 153 a double change in the bwling was tried, De Maus going on vice Downes* and Fisher in place of Pearce. Noonan got a couple of fours in Fisher's first over, hat Dedans got Pryor caught at mid on by Holdship, the retiring batsman having played carefully for his wins. 165—7-35. Furness filled the breach, and played out time. Noon.n being not out 32, Furness X, extras 6 ; total for 7 wickets, 173. After lunch, Furnees was caught off the first ball, Downes being the bowler 173—8—3. Shea followed, and he and Noonan played merry cricket until the Few Zealand ' total was passed, when Shea was bowled by Downes. 191—9—15, Hame joined Noonan, and the total was advanced to 198, when the new comet was bowled by Pearce. Downes took four wickets, Pearce three, Fisher two, and DeMans one.

With tbis Grinder it; can be easily done. With a dull knife, the wear and strain, both on machine and team, are greatly increased, and the gws will be badly cut. A man, or even a boy, with this machine can grind a mower knife perfectly, and with ease and rapidity. When a section is dulled or nicked by coming in contact with a stone, as often happens, it can be sharpened without grinding | the other sections THE « COBUNDOM EMEBY GRINDING WHEEL " Does its work well. It wears but little, and will last, 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-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 is then plugged up. When turning the wheel in grinding, the wateHs driven through its pores by centrifugal force, completely wetting its grinding surface. This prevents the temper of the knife from 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 over the knife clamp. This brings the grinding of the section directly under the eye By means of a new improvement the grinder can be readily clamped to a pole or the rim of any wheel having a width of from 3to 5£ inches. 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. In addition to putting a keen edge on Mower Sections, the wheel will be found useful for nearly everything on the Farm that requires sharpening PBICE—4»*. CAN BE OBTAINED FROM F.
