In England we have our thunderstorms which create a little sensation in their way, but apparently Australia can go one better. Thus “ Felix,” in the Aus­ tralasian, describing a storm at Mel­ bourne, says: — The weather was very close, with that stifling atmospheric condition suggestive of early electrical disturbance. The clouds were ominous of thunder, lightning, and rain. But I for one never expected sach a tremendous downpour and terrific thunder­ storm as that which came on at about 20 minutes past 3 o’clock. A pall gradually spread over the heavens, increasing in inkiness of hue to such an extent that the batsmen had to appeal about the light. The umpires decided that the light was too bad, and they and the players had scarcely reached the pavilion when the storm burst over the ground. I have seen the Melbourne turf for many years, but I never saw anything like the sheets of rain that swept along in the strong wind during this storm. The good old service-stricken Scotch flag could not stand the strain, and, parting from the pole on top of the stand, was carried by the wind to the soddened turf. Another flag quickly followed suit. The ground before long was practically under water, and towards the shelter-sheds, when the rain ceased, the iron fence round the playing area was semi- submerged, the outflow pipes being unequal to the task of carrying away such a vast amount of water. In great heat the shelter- sheds are a boon and a blessing, but they were a greater boon than ever this time as a haven of refuge from the tremendous downpour, which lasted about an hour. Fortunately for the ladies in the reserve, they had the ladies’ pavilion and grand-stand to seek shelter in, and so their light summer costumes escaped destruction. When the storm abated the water was so deep outside the public entrance gate that the people could not get out that way, and had to seek egress through the stand.
