(4) Englandv. Australia. August12, 13, and 14. Asignal success for the English eleven . Atthe outset the ground wasslow fromrecent rain, and Mr. W . G. Grace and Scotton were an hour and forty minutes making56 runs. A sthe wicket improved, however, the score rose fast , and Mr. Grace , who had been badly missed at slip when he had only made six , andScotton raised the total to 170 before a wicketfell . O fthis s u mScottonh a d only made34 ; at one time he was in anhour and ten minutes without scoring . Mr.Gracew a sout with the total at 216, of whichhis share w a s170. A t the commencement of his innings the slow wicket puzzled him, and he did not time theball . After he got settled , though, his play was up to his very best standard , andhis batting did much to determine the result . At the end of the first day England had only lost two wickets for 279 runs , and had the weather held up their score wouldhave been in all likelihood a very large one. Although heavy rain during the night had affected the wicket materially on the second morning , the total was raised to 434 , a result due to Mr. W.W.Read, who played a singu- larly good innings of 94, and the resolute hitting of Briggs . The Australians were most unfortunate in having to bat on a wicket entirely in favour of the bowlers , but, even making every allowance , their show was very disappointing . Messrs . Palmer (15) and Trumble (13) alone got double figures in the first innings , and the one redeeming feature wasthe good play of Messrs . Giffen (47) andPalmer(35). Intheir two innings the Australians just madeone-half of the English total , and were thus beaten byan innings and 217 runs. Lohmann inthematchtook twelve Australian wickets for 104 runs .
