THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.J [Eeutee’s Telegrams.] [Received May 20, at S p.m.’J LONDON, Mat 19. The Australian cricketers commenced their third match to-day, when they met an Eleven of the County of Surrey. The weather was splendid, and Kensington Oval, where the match was played, was crowded with spectators, by whom great interest was taken in the game. The visitors went in first, and their innings closed for a total of 193, M‘Donnell, caught, 37, and Scott, caught, 71, being the highest scorers. The Home team then went to the wickets, and as play closed for the day, their innings ended for 97 runs, towards which total Mr Ackroyd was the highest contributor with a score of 35. Spofforth and Boyle bowled splendidly for the Australians, the former taking four wickets for 20 runs, and Boyle four for 10.

FOOTBALL. THE SYDNEY TEEP. [Pee Peess Association.] AUCKLAND, May 20. Warbrick, one of the Auckland football contingent, was a passenger by the Waihora. '• WELLINGTON, Mat 20. Steady rain has been falling here all day, and it is considered doubtful whether the New Zealand football team will be able to play their match against the local men to-morrow. Should they be prevented from doing so, the team will have no opportunity of playing together until their first match in Sydney. The East Chriatehurch Club,will hold a practice on Cranmer square this evening, commencing at 4 p.m., when the team which represented the Cluh in the match against the Christchurch Club last Saturday will play against all comers. The fifteen will wear gold and black, and all comers colours. The match between the Zingari (Dunedin) and blast Christchurch Clubs takes nlace at Lancaster Park on Saturday afternoon, and on Monday afternoon the latter Cluh will play the Wellington Athletics. The Dunedin men arrive by the express on Friday evening, when it is to he hoped that there will he a good muster of the East Christchurch men to welcome the visitors.
