THE AUSTRALIANS AT HOME.

[Peb Press Association.]

LONDON, July 11. On the second day of the match between the Australians ana Yorkshire the weather was fine, but the wicket was spoiled by tho previous day's rain, and bumped a good deal. The Australians outmatched the Northerners both in batting and bowling, and won by 145 runs. In Yorkshire's first innings, which closed for 95, Peel made 28 by some fluky play, and Mounsey 13. The colonials at their second attempt scored 146, of which Trott made 18, Trumble 23, W. Giffen 18, Turner (not out) 41. A rather poor, start was made, six men being out for 67, but. the tail exhibited some plucky batting. Trumble hit out boldly, and W. Gifien played very steadily while Turner was piling on the runs. The latter showed some fine hitting. The Yorkshire men collapsed when they went in for the last time, and were all out for 48. Turner was in something like his old form, and secured six wickets for 36" runs, all clean bowled. Miller and Peel made a faint stand", and Hirst knocked up 12, but the rest found the bowling quite unplayable. Peel carried his bat out for 13. July 13.

The All-England team against the Australians on Monday will not include W. W. Read, Hewett, Richardson, or Heame. Jackson, the Cam bridge captain, will be given a place, and the other three players will be chosen from Attewell, Mold, Ward, M. Read, Lockwood, and Flowers. The ' Sportsman' urges that Attewell and Lockwood would strengthen the bowling. The ' Daily News' is surprised at the omission of Richardson, the Surrey bowler. AGAINST NORTH OF ENGLAND. For the above match, which was played at Manchester on June 29, the weather was hot and sultry. The attendance was only moderate, the previous poor performances of the colonials having apparently lessened the public interest in their matches. Hornby winning the toss, sent in Ward and Maclaren first, both of whom hit splendidly and ran up runs at a rate altogether disconcerting to the Australians, who tried all their bowling while the two were together. They put on 121 runs in an hour and twenty-three minutes batting before -the partnership was broken by Maclaren being caught at the wickets. The next four wickets fell in rapid succession—all credited to Turner. Ward, however, was not disposed of until he was within seven of the hundred. He wa3 batting for two hours and a-half for his 93, which included twelve fours. Briggs and Attewell made a stand, but both of them were indebted to the field, each being more than once dropped. Briggs, though playing the best cricket, gave most chances, but with the Australians fielding as they were almost any kinds of play was safe. Bruce missed Ward twice when the total was 83, while Giffen dropped the easiest of returns from Briggs before that batsman had scored. In one over the same batsman was missed no fewer than three times, and the spectators at that stage were inclined to satirise the fielding, which was simply execrable. Turner's bowling was very good all through, but nothing could be done at -the other end.

The Australians opened their innings poorly, for Lyons, although making a few good strokes, was never quite at home, and, failing to get on to one from. Briggs, was easily caught, Banuerman played with extreme caution for 12. Giffen fairly threw his wicket away by going for an impossible run, and Bruce was clean bowled first ball. Trott, Gregory, and Graham, however, piled up the runs at a rapid rate, and saved the innings from complete collapse. The first-named had fourteen boundary hits and Gregory ten. Though the sixth wicket fell at 232, the last four only put on an additional 24 runs.

As in the first innings, Ward and Maclaren batted freely, the former especially putting plently of weight into his hitting. After the first three batsmen had been got rid of the opposition to the bowling was feeble, and seven wickets were down for 176. The tail end of the team, however, batted with wonderful vigor, Briggs especially being very aggressive, and, in spite of frequent changes, the last wicket did not fall until 259 had been scored.

Lyons anr 1 Bannerman batted splendidly when starting the second innings, putting on 100 for exactly an hour's play. Then Lyons, who had scored 75 of the number, was caught at mid-on. His score included ten fours. As it was a matter of time, all the other batsmen played the forcing game, with such good results that the required runs (276) were got for the loss of seven wickets, the winning hit being made eight minutes before the time for drawing stumps.
