A correspondent of the “ South Australian Register,” describing the match between the Australians and All England Eleven, says :—I cannot attenqyt to convey to my readers the exciiement of those last 10 minutes. Spofforth was bowling in his deadliest style, and a shudder of fear for the wicket of I the defender seemed to go round the ground as every ball was delivered. No one who saw the fin's! |wiH ever forget it. The coolest, the most si.lid Australians, fairly lost I their heads. I saw Melbourne bank mana- | gets frantically assisting to carry Boyle and j Spofforth to the pavilion, and it may fairly be said that the Australians in London went * mad.
