THE AUSTRALIAN ELEVEN IN ENGLAND.

o— THE MATCH AT LORDS. AUSTRALIANS WIN BY SEVEN WICKETS. [reoter's telegram.] London, June 4. The cricket match, Australians ▼. Gentlemen of England, was resumed and concluded to-day, resulted in a win for the visiting team with seven wickets to spare. The attendance at Lords was very large, the weather during the day being splendid. The wicket was also in better order than on the previous day. The home team, which made 99 in their first innings, went in for the second time, Grace and Rock being the first batsmen. Grace scored eleven before he was bowled, Read followed him in, but was caught after making four; Roller,who succeeded him, was disposed of in a similar manner for the same number. Vernon now joined Rock, and scored very rapidly, until the latter was caught after contributing nineteen to the score. Lord Harris faced Vernon, but put one into the bowler's hands after placing eight to his credit. The next man, Scott, was bowled for seven, and then Studd and Vernon got together, when some very good cricket ensued, Studd batting with great freedom ; however, Vernon sent one back to the bowler, and retired in favour of Kemp after a brilliant innings for 27. Soon after this Studd was taken in the field after making top score (29). Christopherson was bowled for one, and Walker, stumped, were the two last comers, Kemp carrying out his bat for 17, the innings closing for 136 runs. After a short interval the Englishmen took the field, Jones and Blackham going in first. The pair made a fine stand until Jones was caught for 36. Scott, next man, who was bowled for a single, was replaced by Giffen. Blackham was given out lbw for 32, and Bonnor joined Giffen. This pair managed to make up the requisite number (86), Giffen making three and Bonnor 13, each not out. Notwithstanding the fact that the visitors were obliged to play a man short, their fielding was excellent. In fact the play generally was much admired, the performances all round being considered first-class : — a«NTr,*MEK or EKaLiND.—Second Innings.
