CRICKET.

[Australia & N.Z. Cable Association.] LONDON, .May 10. Hendry is the member of the Australian eleven who is suffering from scarlet fever. This illness is unl'ortu‘litto ns iiis howling will be sorely missed unless the wickets become much faster than hitherto. The team are delighted at dismissing Marylobono at

under two hundred. Tho Club bad a weak tail. The score was once 3 for 170 and then the next seven wickets fell for twenty-nine, principally due to the later batsmen’s lack of enterprise. The Australians ,are feeling the continued bitterly cold weather and innnot keep warm in tile held. If the wickets do not improve the attack must remain with Richardson, Macartney anil Collins. On the present slow wickets Gregory and Everett are unable to develop pace.. Collins feels that the howling of .Mailey and Ryder will only mean giving away runs. Richardson on Saturday bowled excellently for four hours unchanged. It should he explained thtat Falcon captained Marylehoiie instead of Carr, because the latter is not a member of the Club.
