CRICKET.
SECOND EDITION
THE AUSTRALIANS AT HOME. [By Cable.] London, August 24. The Australian cricketers were entertained last night by the Mayor of Leeds at a public banquet. Murdock, in replying to the toast of the evening, took occasion to allude to the Sydney cricket disturbance last year, and defended the Sydney cricketers, who, he said, were quite blameless in the matter. The match Australians v. Eighteen of Yeadon, was continued to-day. The former resumed their first innings, but were not disposed of until they had made 217 runs. Bannennan was highest scorer with 58 ; Boyle scored 42. Both men were caught out. The Yeadon Eighteen then went in for their first innings, and scored 105 runs. Boyle bowled splendidly, and took ten wickets. The Yeadon men being 112 runs behind their opponents, had to follow their innings, and when the stumps were drawn for the day had only scored seven runs for the loss of live wickets.
