After having the best of the game at every point, England won the second of the three matches to be played against the Fifth Aus­ tralian team yesterday at Lord’s by an innings and 100runs. The eleven selectedto oppose the Australians, though some few were of opinion that Briggs and Mr. Tylecote might liaye been replaced with advantage to the side, was generally highly approved, and though we are of opinion that either Pilling or Sherwin might 'well have been played, the team as a whole undoubtedly gave satisfaction. The interest in the game was unusually great, as wras only to be expected, and this was shown by the exceptionally large attendanoe through­ out. On the first day, despite the unfavour­ able weather, 11,128 persons paid at the gates, and on Tuesday this number was increased to 15,663. As the turnstiles yesterday showed that 6,224 had paid, it will bo seen that in the match altogether payment was made for 33,015 persons. Mr. A. G. Steel having won the toss went in first at 11.50 on Monday, and, except for a cessation from 12.25 to 1.49 caused by rain, were batting till close on three o’clock on the following afternoon. Mr. Graoe was caught at the wicket at 27, and it was left to Shrewsbury and Scotton to take the edge off the Australian bowling. The latter’s defence was invaluable, and though he only made 19 during his stay of two hours at the wickets his score by no means represents tho value of his play to his side. The wicket, which during a greater part of the day helped the bowlers materially, was playing badly when Messrs. Read and Steel were in, and there was great disappointment in particular at the early dis­ missal of Mr. Steel, who had shown himself to be in such exceptionally brilliant form this season. Though the ground was still difficult when Barnes joined Shrewsbury, the two Nottingham profes»ionals withstood success­ fully all the changes of bowling tried by the Australian captain, and at the end of the day were both not out, Shrewsbury 91, Barnes 28, the total 202 for four wickets. On resuming on Tuesday morning the batting continued to be of the highest class, and the score was raised to 280 before Barnes was easily had at mid-on. The partnership of the two Nottingham players, which had lasted two hours and three- quarters, resulted in an addition of 161 runs to the score. Though of this number Barnes was only accountable for 58, too much praise cannot be bestowed on his innings, an admirable display of sound and judicious batting. The remainder of the innings was chiefly noteworthy on account of Shrewsbury, who continued to play all the bowlers with equal confidence. When there seemed every chance of his carrying his bat, he fell to a catch at slip, and with his dismissal the innings came to an end for 353. It is difficult to write in sufficiently appreciative terms of his truly grand performance. Except for an almost impossible catch to short slip, in the early part of his innings, and a difficult chance of stumping off Giffen at 35, he made no mistake during his long stay. As he was in altogether six hours and fifty-five miuutes, no better evidence can be given of the masterly charac­ ter of his batting, which was except for the two flaws named absolutely irreproachable. His 164, which is the highest score made as yet in England against Australia, was made up of sixteen fours, eight threes, sixteen twos, and forty-four singles. The Australians began batting at 3.20 on Tuesday with Messrs Scott and Jones. Barnes and Lohmann opened the bowling for England, but runs came so fast from the latter that Buiggs took his place at 36. The latter at once took effect, and his bowling, with that of Mh\ Steel proved so effective that six of the best Australian wickets were down for 67, the last outgoer being Mr. Jones, who had been in an hour and thirty-five minutes for his score of twenty-five. Messrs, Palmer and Blackham offered some resistance, but the remaining batsmen made a poor show, and the innings (which had lasted two hours and thirty-five minutes) closed for tho very moderate total of 121. This failure wTas chiefly due to the effective bowling of Briggs, who kept a good length, and puzzled the batsmen thoroughly. He took five wickets at a cost of only 29 runs—an exceptionally fine performance. Going in a second time in a minority of 232 runs on Tuesday night, the Australians in the fifteen minutes they had left for play lost one batsman (Mr. Garrett) for 12 when play ceased. On res-iming yesterday, the wicket showed a considerable improve­ ment, and Messrs. Palmer and Trumble had added 50 runs before the latter was caught. With 90 up for two wTiokets things looked more promising for the Australians, and there was then an outside chance that theymight savethe game. Tho bowling of Briggs and Barlow, however, changed the aspect of affairs, and before luncheon time Ifive more wickets had fallen for an addition of only 15 runs. Palmer deserves the highest praise for his admirable innings. He was two hours and a half at the wickets for his 48, wrhich contained no chance. On the renewal, Messrs. Bonnor (whc had Mr. Scott to run for him) and Jarvis brought the oscre to 120, but the three remaining batsmen were all dismissed at 126, and at 3.15the match was over, leaving the victory with England by an innings and 106runs. Briggs followed up his fine bowling performance in the first innings by taking six wickets for 45 runs. In the match altogether he was credited with eleven wickets at a cost of only 74 runs, an extra­ ordinary achievement in such a match. There was great and long-continued cheering at the finish.
