The Times states that the visit has shown-that Australia possesses a number of promising colts, with whom England must become acquainted l before long. The Sporting Life says the tour was remarkable for the splendid batting standard. It believes the tour has been successful financially, but says the aggregate results of the play were disappointing. The Daily News regards the tour as a complete success in every respect.

The evidence is based on the revelations in those letters.
