T h e r e has been so much speculation concerning the possibility of the visit of an English team to Australia in the autumn under the fogis of the Maryle­ bone Club, that an authoritative statement ou the matter was bound to be welcomed. The Australian Board of Control met in Melbourne on Friday and Saturday last, and as a result of their deliberations cabled to the M.C.C. offering half the gross ground takings and guaranteeing a minimum of ten thousand pounds.
