Wilson, a member of the M.C’.C. team who has been supplying reports to the Daily Express, London, admits that Australia outplayed England in all departments of the game. As regards members of teams acting as correspondents to newspapers, Lord Ellesmere, president of the M.C.C., advocates restrictions being placed on them. The Manchester Guardian consider that illfeeling has been caused by tactlessness. The London Daily Herald puts the whole in a nutshell thus :—“The Australians do net object to V ilson and Fender as cricketers, but. as journalists, and shocking bad journalists at that.” RECORD OF 'THE TESTS. ENGLAND'S LEAD IX RUBBERS. EQUALITY IN GAMES. Although an English cricket team vbited Australia, in 1861, it was in 1877 that the first Test match was played.
