[BY ELKCTUIO TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHTJ [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.] MR BRYCE DEPARTS. IMPR-ESSIONS OF AUSTRALIA. SYDNEY, This Day. Th© Right Hon. James Bryce, (Britisli Ambassador to the United States), in the course .of an interview before his departure on the Ventura to-day, said that he had admiration for the Australian physique. He saw jio signs of decadence about it whatever, and considered the capital among the most beautiful in the world. He especially admired the National Park. In typo he thought the Australians much nearer to the English- than to the Americans. Thoy were much less like the American .than he expected. The cheerful aspect of the. suburbs struck him; that feature also struck liini about New Zealand. THE CRICKET TEST. ADELAIDE, This Day. Clem Hill says that there is no doubt had the best- available team been sent to England it would have had a. really good chance. The English team was certainly no better than the one last here. Tho Australians were too weak 'in'batting and depended throughout on four or five batsmen. As the wickets wcro dead against Foster's fast 'bowling, he was, not half as dangerous as he would have been with a line summer.
