AUSTRALIANS Y. YORKSHIRE. London, June 19. The Australians commenced their cricket match at Sheffield to-day, against eleven of Yorkshire. An enormous crowd of spectators was present. The weather was showery during the day, and the wicket was consequently somewhat heavy. The Home team went first to the wickets, but with the exception of J. Philips, who scored 38, they were unable to make a stand against the splendid bowling of the Australians, and were all disposed of for a total of 92. Garrett and Giffen both did grand execution, the former taking 4 wickets for 27 runs, and the latter 5 wickets for 16. The Australians then commenced their first innings, and when the stumps were drawn for the day, had put together 94 runs for the loss of four wickets, the highest scorers being Bannerman, caught 34; and Murdoch, not out, 42.
