FOOTBALL.
ENGLISHMEN* IN AUSTRALIA. PRESS CRITICISM. SYDNEY, June 20. Tile Herald, after referring to the general excellence of the Britishers. and the especial excellence of the backs, says :—"They outclassed the local men in all. departments. What the visitors will do when they have played together a few limes was a ■question freely ventured on Saturday." It considers the combination an advance on what was brought out by the Rev. Mullineaux. "The opinion of those who followed New Zealand football closely is that a representative til'tven of the latter would probably have lowered their colours against Seivwright's team." The Telegraph says :—"All round they proved themselves an incomparably finer side than Mullineaux's team. It does not require much courage to predict that when thev get condition and shake down together they will prove infinitely too good for anything in Australia. As 'to their prospects in New Zealand it is premature to say."
