AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS. AT HOME.

[By Cable.]

London, August 29.

The cricket match All-England Eleven versus the Australians, was resumed to-day at Kensington Qyal, in the presence of an enormous crowd of spectators, though the weather was showery. In consequence of the rain the wicket was heavy. The Australians commenced : their 'second innings l by sending-in Bannerman and Hassie* The former was bowled for 2, ; when Murdoch joined Hassle and.. the two soon com-, tnenced to run up a score. Massio was batting very freely, and bad put together a splendidly played 55 when he was bowled. Murdoch remained at the wickets a little longer, and Had contributed 29 when be was run out. None of the other batsmen made any stand, and the remaining wickets fell rapidly, the innings finally closing for 124, not 122 as previously telegraphed. The fielding of the Englishmen throughout was excellent, and the bowling of Peate was capital* The Home team requiring 87 runs to win, then went in for their second innings, Messrs Hornby and Grace taking their pkces at the wickets. The latter played a good innings for 32 when he was caught. Qf the other bailsmen Ulyett with 11* and the Hon. A. Lyttelton with IS, were the only ones to contribute double figures. None oL the other players could make any stand against the splendid bowling of Spofforth and Boyle, who did great execution, four of their opponents failing to saore at all. The innings finally closed For 77, and the Australians thus won the match by 9 runs. The excite-, ment towards the close of the game was yery great, and the: greatest interest was taken by the spectators, by whom the play of the Australians was much admired.
