THE THIRD TEST MATCH,

United Press ABBOoiabion—By Rleetrio (Telegraph—Copyright Adelaide, January 22 Ls,sb night light rain fell for a couple cf hours, but a high wind afterwards com pletely dried the wickeb, which is etill good &t one end, while the damaged places at the other end are not any worae. The weather was fresh, and the attendance numbered six thousand. Trumble and MoLeod resumed bowling, the latter in hie first over, without further addition to the score, bowled Litley. • Jones made eleven quickl?, and at 218 gave Trumble % warm tetura which he held. Gann was missed by Hill at mid off when hi had scored one, but was given out leg before at 228. Blythe was shaping nioely, when Qaaife wae dismissed leg before. The Bfconewaller batted two and three quarter hours without giving a chanoe. This morning (Lmmble bowled twelve overs, six maidens, fourteen rues, three wickets.

The Australians commenced their aeooud innings cautiously, Gudd, bowling to the bad end, and Braund, opened to Trumper and Duff. Duff got four to leg off Ounn'e firat ever, but in the third he hit his wickets. Trumper and Hill again gave a dasbing exhibition, adding forty five in half an hour, but when at nineteen Hill should have been stamped off Braand. At fifty, Qnna thoroughly beat Trumper. Gregory then wenb in, and Hill in oae over drove Guan for four, and five later, all run. At seventy Dime, Blythe, despite his hand troubling him, relieved Braand, whose eleven overs coefc forty five runs, and the change steadied the rate of scoring. When Gregory had made twenty two, MoLarcn appeared to make a brilliant one handed catch at cover slip, off Gunn, throwing up the ball in the same act, but Umpire Crockett gave not out, thinking the ball had touohed the ground. In Gunn's next over, Braund, in the slips, accepted a smart catch from Gregory, who was batting forty minutes.— tChree wickets for 98. The century went up in ninety five minutes. At the tea adjourn, ment Hill had made 48, Darling 3,—Three wickets for 103. When play waa resumed scoring was slow, Darling stonewalling and taking forty miuutea to reach teo, Hill moved ahead steadily, and at 138 Hnyward relieved Gunn, who bad three wickets for 69. Otf the new bowler Darling gos his first four by a fine drive, and. each batßman got Hay ward for a quartette, Hill's stroking taking him into the nineties. At 180 Jeaaop replaced Hay ward, sad in hie third ovei bowled Hill's leg stump when be wanted only three to complete the century, For the fourth time this season he cot into the ninobies. The only chanoe he gave during his two hours fifty minutes' stay was one of stamping* He hit one fiver and seven fours. It wan a great effort. D fling's was a splendid steady innings. The English fielding was brilliant in the extreme, especially that of Jeuaop and Jones, Following are the soores ; — England.

I wish jou could have seen it. I was wakened up about 2,30, (I am now on night duty), feel ing very oppressed with the heat. The tent 'boy" was fastening down my tent in the greatest excitement, saying, "Storm Miseie S Great big storm coming!" Then I heard a great roaring noise like the sea breakers, and there came a great hailstone, the size of an ega, followed in a fen seconds by a perfect deluge of stones, varying in size up to large hen's eggs. All the time it remained awfully hot. In the west the sun shone brilliantly. Only in the east was the great patch of bluok clouds, where the storm wae beating up. In the south-east was the most perfect double rainbow I have ever seen, the shafts beingolearly eeen right down to the u round. The hills being seen through the rainbow, the effect was most beautiful. It was the most curious combination of atmosphere effects; AH the time the ice wag falling, it remained fearfully warm. We did not get the full force of it, luckily for us< Gardens a few miles away were com pletely destroyed. We had lots of windows broken, and the glass roof of the operating room was smashed; aome chickens killed, and tut:dry cats, dogs, and hors-s wounded.

A Labour Leadee -The Loadon Daily Chronicle %\vea a warning to Mr Tom Mann, as follows : —' According to an evening coo tempoiaiy, Mr Tom Mann's motive ia sailing for New Zealand is to 'infuse life into the Labour movement' of that colony. If that be his obj 'ct, he ia about to engage io the unprofitable pursuib of carrying coals to Newcastle! Labour is more eff otively organised in Australia and New Zealand than in any other part of the British dominions. Mr Mann, if he is wise, will assume no airs of superiority on landing in New Zealand. His correct attitude will be that of student and observer. The fate of another one tirre London Labour leader, Mr H H Champion, is a warning. Mr Champion was soaroely a month in Mel bourne before he commenced criticising the powerful Trades Hall of thab city and its methods From thab initial blunder he has never recovered. He has repeatedly cor-, tested Melbourne constituencies, bub in vx'm. The Trades' Hail and its multitude of affiliated Labour Unions gave no support to hie candidature.'

Salmon— 8 G T B, writing in a London daily paper, referring to the failure of young salmon artificially reared in New Zealand to return to their parent tivers afher once having ' tasted the salb water, 1 suggests a possible explanation. He says :—' Poesibly fish see light that is to us invisible, bub ib seams much more probable that they have an instinct, born of countießß generations, that compels them to go back to their own rivers, add for no reasons more obvious to us than the migration of day birds in the nighb, If they have this instincb to return to their own rivers, ib le hardly wonderful if they do nob return bo some other in which they have been artificially reared. It appears probable that that) the very instinct to return would be the means ot their loss id the seas of Australia or New Zealand. The instinctive impulse to drive on in come direction wou!dbeaa likely to bake bhsm to the Antarctic as to the Equator, and, in either cane, they would probably die wandering with & compelling force like the ancient mariner's.'

Probable Issue of a New Ambbioan Stamp—On Saturday at the opening meet log of the Junior London Philatelic Society for the seaßon 1901-2, the president, Mr F J Melville, in bis address from the ahair, referred to the assassination of President McKinley. The portrait of the late Presi dent of the United States, he said, tray now be used as a subject for a ' postage 'stamp deaign. By a curious regulation the portrait of no living man is allowed to appear on the Btamps of ihe United States, which bear instead the effigies of dead Pfßßidenta and Republican heroes. A new ssriea &i stamps is now under coceideration by tho American Government, and doubtless the late Presi dent's portrait will be included along with his on martyrs^ Lincoln and Garfield, whose features have long been portrayed on the nramps of tho Stales. The portrait of Mr Cleveland, the Only'living past President of tho United BtateB 3 is not shown on any stamp,
