The: first of the three matches between All England and the Australian Eleven was begun at Lord's yesterday. Abel aud T. C. O'Brien re-placed J. Shuter and Attewell in the English team, the latter being unable to play, and Boyle and Lyons stood oat of the Colonial Eleven. Woods, an Australian bowler of much promise, now in residence at Cambridge, made his first appearance with the Australians. Continuous rain on Sunday spoiled the wicket, and the game resolved itself into a contest between the bowlers on either side, good batting being out of the question. In the end Turner and Ferris proved too much for the Englishmen, who were beaten by 61 runs. McDonnell won the toss, and determined to take advantage of the first use of the wicket before it got cut up.
