Melbourne, February 20 To-day's play was poorly attended. The Victorians piled up runs at a great rate and the board showed 602 before the last man was got rid of, McAllister made 224, Murray 92, Wilson 68, Tarrant not out 30, Upham took two wickets for 135, Reese two *for 113, Downes four for 127, Frankish two for 127. Murray waa dismiesed by Upham, who made a brilliant catch m the slips off Downes. Various changes of bowling were | resorted to, but McAllister continued to paste everything with impartiality. With his score at 149, he gave his only chance, which Upham declined. With a deficit of 285, Ashbolb and Sims opened the second innings for New Zealand, and played out time, the former having 9 and the latter 6 to credit.

These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine | Eucalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. 2 By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced m specific density through the presence of acids. 3 By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resinß and tennatee. If these crude oils, so-called eucalypti extracts, are applied by mistake ia cases of oroup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal ufiamations, dysentery, etc., the con sequences are most appalling.
