From all good i sportsmen congratulations -will go out to I them. It is doubtful if any touring side ever "pulled it-self together so well. They are not a great side as measured by the highest standard"; they won the rubber not by their own commanding merit, but' owing to England's weakness. Not in tl»e last 20 years have two such inferior elevens played for the famous "ashes." The Australians proved themselves better batsmen and fieldsmen, though not co good in Bowling, but their first-rate fielding balanced this defect: RUMOURED. OFFER TO BARDSLEY. LONDON, August 16.
