THE "ASHES."
The "ashes" have gone to the Englishmen. Tho Australians were beaten in the Fourth Test Match by an innings and 226 runs. This- is the worst "drubbing" that Australia has ever received at the hands of the Englishmen. Clem Hilt, tko captain
of the defeated team, frankly admits that the Australians wt!>re beaten in every department"of the game. He is still hopeful, however, of regaining the lost laurels in the triangular contest. Whether this hope will be realised, remains to be seen. The lesson of the last few weeks will, it is hoped, not be lost upon the Australians. The older players will require to make room for something vouniier and better.
