London, June 3. Tho cricket match Australians v. Gentlemen of England was commenced at Lords to-day. Great interest was taken in the match, as was shown by the good attendance, in spite of the weather, which was cold and inclement. The wicket was heavy, owing to the continued wet weather lately experienced. The Englishmen went first to the wickets, Rock and Grace commencing the proceedings, Owing to the deadness of the pitch, scoring was only slow, both men assuming the defensive. Eventually Grace missed one, which took his bails, after he had put together seven. Read joined Rook, but the latter, however, only remained in a short time, when he was bowled for nine. Vernon came next, and he and Read made the play more lively, until the latter was bowled for thirteen. Roller partnered Vernon, but only placed two to his credit before he was bowled. Lord Harris filled the vacancy, and shortly afterwards Vernon gave a chance to the field, whioh was promptly accepted, and he retired after a careful innings for fifteen. Scott was the next comer, and Lord Harris soon after this was dismissed for nine. Studd then, joined Scott, and, the two Middlesex men scored steadily for some time, until, after making sixteim, Scott gave • a chance, which was held. Kempt then faced Studd, who, however, at this stage was bowled for a record of 15. Christophe'rßon, bowled, 0, and Walker caught, 3, were the two last corners, Kemp carrying out his bat without, however, improving his average by a run.- The home'team-'v/ere all out for

99. Bowling analysis—Spofforth, 2 wickets for 30 runs; Garret, 4 wiqkets for 20 tuns. Tim Holding of the Australians' was very good, no chances being missed. Spofforth unfortunately sustained a serious injury while fieldiug, having hia finger dislocated, which prevented him from playing further; the Australians now faced the English bowling, Jones and Blackburn, as usual) going in first.

Scott joined The Melbourne wicket-keeper, and this pair made a good stand and punished the bowling freely, Blackham being the first to sucoumb, being bowled for 20. Giffen then joined the Australian captain, but hud only made 5 when he played back into the bowler's hands which was smartly taken. Bonnor now joined Scott, and a splendid display of cricket ensued, both men playing with great judgment, but never losing a run. There was every prospect of a lengthy Scott was ruled out, leg before wicket, after making 27.
