Cricket: A W E IK LY RECORD OF THE GAME 168, UPPER THAMES STREET, LOHDOH, E.C. THURSDAY MAY 18 th , 1899. $a\)titon Gossip. The abstract anil brief chronicle of the time.— EamUt A t Leyton on Saturday Y oung intro­ duced to the notice of the Australians two varieties of bow ling -which they are not likely to see again during their tour. One variety was a ball which came off the ground at a great pace and good height, beating bat, batsman, and w icket; it was generally only stopped by the wicket­ keeper because he happened to be in the way of i t ; the olher variety kept very low and generally knocked the middle stump out of the ground. I t is not to be hastily inferred that, because the Australians have been beaten by Essex, they are not up to the standard o f other Australian teams. They were placed at a great disadvantage in their second innings and did not rise to the occasion, which is the long and short of the whole matter. But all Australian teams have shown a great readiness to learn, and it may safely be said that the lesson received b y the 1899 team on Saturday morning will not be forgotten. If it happens to get into another tight place of the same sort it will adopt different tactics.
