Iredale and Darling opened the Becond innings of the Australians, and twenty minutes' play brought Only 8 runs. Then the latter retired. Bub with the advent of Giffen matter* livened up. Both. Attewell and Smith . were tried,; and ultimately the newooner was taken smartly low down; Trott and Iredale while associated played brilliantly, the former m his usual dashing manner, while the New South Wales repre sentative exhibitsd fine style. Iredale was neatly taken at cover slip. Both Gregory aa'd Donnan were snapped up at mid-wicket. Trott played with extreme care, and was two hours and a half at the wickers. He gave two difficult chances. Hill and Trumble each batted cautiously, and Gunn was tried with lobs, the change being successful, as the former was taken at mid off off him, while Trumble allowed one to slip off his legs on to the wickets. The young wheatfielder. has played a nice inn ings, and hit , ten fours. The defensive batting of Jones and McKibbin, who were apparently batting with tbe view of making a drawn game, saved the visitors from suffering a defeat. With only an hour and twenty minutes, and requiring 167 runs to win. the Borne team did not attempt to force the game, as they evidently recognised that a draw was inevitable. Stoddart, how ever, played a particularly dashing innings, and of his score 1 , 59, ten hits were for four apiece, chiefly off Jones, The following is the complete scores of the M.C.C. — Firat inninge.

WHAT IS THAT OlfE THIOTCM It seems like an absurdity, yet it is true al 1 the same. I mean that yon might have a cellar fall of wood and coal and still shiver with cold ; and yon would if it were not for one thing. 'Oh, that is so obvious,' yoa may say. *It was hardly worth while to hint at it. Anyone oan see it with hia eyeß shut. AH tha better for me then ; I shan't hate to explain. And by the same sharpness yon will be able to piok out the important point m two short letters I am about to copy for yon. The first runs thus : 'In December, 1890, my daughter, (Mrs M. J. Muther) got into a low, weak, nervouß condition. Do what she wonld she could not get up her strength. Gradually she wasted away natil everyone thought she. was m a decline, and had not long to live. In toot, she was so low and de- , jeotecf she did not oare whether sh« lived or o«-' She was under a dootor for six month', jut his medicines did her no good. My husband then said, ' My daughter, I will now see what I oan do for yon.' What he meant was that he would have her take a medicine called 1 Mother Seigel'a Curative Syrup.' He had used it himself when be was ill, and thought it might prove as benefioial to her as it bad to him.

• Mrs Mather said she was willing to try the Syrup, although Bhe had little or no faith m its helping one as bad as she was. For if she really had consumption we know there is no enre for that. My husband, however, got a bottle from Mr Holme, the chemist, m Boohdale Boad, and my daughter began taking it. After the first bottle we saw a great improvement. She ooqld eat, and the food gave her no pain. She continued with this remedy, and gradually gained strength, bnt it took some time to bring her round, she was so very weak. After a lime she was able to get about, and never looked behind her. Sinoe then she has been strong and well. We have told many persons how Mother Beigel'a Syrup restored her to Bound health, and are willing you should publish this statement of the faetß. (Signed) '{Mrs) Margaret Wateon, 11, Baby Street, Bary, Oot. Bth, 1895.' 1 In March, 1893,' says the second le'ter, * I began to fail m health. I eoold not sty ex actly what ailed me. I felt low, weak, and tired, and had no strength for anything. My appetite fell away, and wtta's Itylfciopd I ate Rave me great pain at the ohoßt and side, My hands and feet were cold, and nearly all the colour left me. I was often mso great pata I could hardly do any work, I was frequently siok, and could keep no kind of food down. ... ' I got weaker and weaker, m spite of all that was done, and had to be off my work for seventeen weeks. In this way I went on un til November of the Bame year — 1893, Then I happened to read about Mother Seigel's Syrup and what it had done for others Buffer* ing like me. I got a bottle of tbiß medicine from MrW. Heywood, grooer, m O'dham Boad, and after takiqg only . the half of it I felt muob better. I oould eat without pain; \ and was stronger and brighter every way. When I had finished the bottle I was quite eared, and have had no return of the com plaint since. I have told many others about what the dyrup did for me, and out of thankfulness lam willing my letter should be ! made public. (Signed) Miss Lydia E.Morton, 1, Oreaves Street, Middleton Jqnotion, near Manchester, October lOtb, 1895.' Both these ladies say that they were very weak, and that their food — of which they could take but little— did them ho good. In the midst of plenty they were aotnally starv ing. , So rauoh wasted was one of them that it wis believed Bhe had consumption. The event showed that they both suffered from dyspepsia, and nothing elee. But that *bb quite enough ; and besides it often runs into consumption and other fatal maladieß. By setting the stomach right Mother Seigel'a Strap tolly oared them both. Coals and wood are useless without means to light a fire ; and bread and meat are sp nothing unless we can digest them and make them part of oar flesh and bone. That is easy to see and important to remember. And it is its power to help nature work this transformation that makes Mother Beigel'6 B jrup io wonderful * retaao'y,

LATEST CABLE NEWS.

HO7IK AHJ> COItBJKCtJI. (PKR PR-S- AS OCIATION.) THE OOMMRBOIAL BANK OF AUSTRALIA. London, July 26 The Economist says the action of Mr James Webster, m moving for the 1 liquidation of the London branch of the Commercial Bank of Australia, is from every point 'of view extremely represensible. The bank has not made defult, and no question of that kind can arise till the deposits are repayable some years hence. The Economist goea on to say it is difficult to understand how any body with the interests of the bank at heart, could enter upon such pro ceedings. The Times also condemns Mr Web ster's action. The Statist says a better feeling is growing at Home regarding the Aus tralian bank* and the colonies generally, and it is difficult to imagine how Mr Webster's action can be to the creditors' interest. His view ia only that of an insignificant majority.

AUSTRALIAN.

THE VICTORIAN BUDGET. . Melbourne, July 27 The Financial Statement, which will be delivered on Tuesday, will show a large deficiency. It is understood that Government do not intend to propose new taxation, and will endeavour to make ends meet by further retrench ment. COLONIAL PRODUCE. The\ English co-operation delegates have visited Warnambodl. Mr Jones stated that judging by the enormous advantage possessed by the colonies, Australian butter producers ought to be able to sell at a profit ia England, where the Danish producers were only able to sell at a loss. He would not advise direct shipments of butter to Manchester at present, as the exporters should first capture the London market, and when the produotion became larger they could invade Manchester and other cities. Already several factories have arranged to send consignments of butter direct to the Co-operative Society's. London branch. Mr Jones agreed to pay current prices, the Society charging two and a half per cent for exchange and commission, as against four and a half per cent previously paid. The arrangement is that what is saved m commission is to be divided between the buyer and producer. The first shipments are to be on an experimental scale, the delegates wishing producers to be satisfied by such means of the profit of direct dealing.

THE NOBLE GAME. A disgraceful melee took place on Satardsy afternoon at a football match at Oollingwood, between a local team and North Melbourne. When play ceased the crowd rushed around, and seizing Boberts, the field umpire, drugged him about by the hair of the head, while others kicked him and beat him with a stick. A party of the players and the police had great difficulty m rescuing him from the angry mob. Several women took a prominent part m the' row, and renewed the attack when Boberta reached the pavilion, but with the assistance of a body of police he managed to keep m his cab.
