BARRACKING AT BENDIGO.
A HECKLING FOR WILSON.
(Received 11.30 a.m.) MELBOURNE, this day. The Board of Control's decision to employ special constables was to some extent the outcome of the barracking the Englishmen received during the Bendigo match. The crowd was specially demonstrative against the vice-captain (Wilson), resenting some of his cables to the -English newspapers. As a result of complaints by Douglas and Wilson, steps were taken by the Mayor and the cricket association to have barracking suppressed. On the second day the incident was revived hy the Press statement that Mr. Wilson told the Mayor he would endeavour to prevent future English teams visiting Bert'"- j. Wilson declares that he said that unless the authorities attempted to stop barracking they could not expect an English team to wish another visit to Bendigo. The Mayor and the President of the Cricket Association adhere -to their statement that Mr. Wilson said that the M.C.C. would in future delete Bendigo, owing to the way he had been treated.—(A. and N-Z.)
