ENGLISH PRESS OPINIONS ON THE RECENT TEST MATCH. (Per Press Association). London, March 8. Remarkable interest was taken in the cricket match and the victory of the English was received with great enthusiasm. The Daily Chronicle, commenting on 1 the final test match, considers the victory of the Englishmen a brilliant one, and believes the omission of Turner a mistake. 1 George Giffen, it adds, is clearly the champion of the cricketing world, and it eulogises Brown, Ward, McLaren, Peel, and Stoddart, who so ably assisted towards the win, also Albert Trott, Darling, and Iredale, who, it sajs, occupy a position equal to the highest in the English eleven. The Morning Post, Daily News, and Daily Telegraph, extend praise to Brown, Richardson, Ward, McLaren, Stoddart, and Peel. The Times says the Australians suffered defeat with true English|generosity. The Sportsman considers, in view of the mental strain cast upon them, the stand made by Ward and Brown is the finest performance ever witnessed in the cricketing world. The Standard says that the victory saves the tour from being a failure, and, referring to the omission of Turner, adds that in England no Australian team would be regarded as complete which did not include him in its ranks.
