Great care must he taken as to the actual wording of the conditions for the next tests, otherwise a stalemate may result, says “Sporting Life/" \ssuming that England or Australia won two matches and the other side one, with one drawn, when the fourth game was completed, whether the filth U or is not played to a finish, there would be a risk of all sides finishing all square Tt is important clearly to define what the word “advantage” means. Presumably in the event of a countrv leading, the fifth test would he confined to four days, hut in those four a definite result might he reached, and the team which started the game down might finish with a win. The meagre particulars at present revealed do not suggest satisfactory .precautions have been taken to avoid a stalemate.
