Australia . August 13 and 14 . Mr. Jones wasnot able to play for the Australians , but otherwise both sides were thoroughly representative . The match was not only played out in fine weather and on a true pitch , but the Australians went in first , so that the signal success of the English eleven was the more gratifying . The Australians , winning the toss , were unlucky enough to lose their captain the third ball bowled, and the 26 of Edwards, w h owentin third wicket d o w nandwaslast out, w a sthe only redeeming display in an unexpectedly small score of 80. Englandin turn beganbadly, and two of the best batsmen, Mr. W. G. Grace andUlyett , were out with the total only six . Abel (70) and Barnes (62) put on 112 runs for the fifth wicket , and later on Lohmannhit in the most brilliant style , scoring 62 not out in fifty -five minutes without anything like a chance. Commencing their second innings in a minority of 237 , the Australians fared rather better at the outset , and Mr. McDonnell made32 of the first 34. After his departure , though, no resistance was offered to the bowling of Peel and Barnes, and the England eleven were left with a very decisive victory by an innings and 137 runs . England, 317.
