THE AUSTRALIAN CRICKETERS [BY TELEGRAPH. -COPYRIGHT.] [REUTERS TELWEGRAMS.]
London, September 10. The cricket match, Australians v. South of England, was resumed at Brighton to-day, the attendance being moderate. Hfavy rain fell at intervals, the wicket being heavy in consequence. The visitors, who yesterday lost nine wickets for 207, only increased their score to 219 before the last wicket fell. At the close of the day's play South England had lost four wickets for 90.
September 11. The cricket match, Australian v. South England, was continued at Brighton today, the weather being splendid. The attendance on the ground was good. The wicket, however, was still heavy. The home team resumed their second innings, but failed to make an effective stand, and the innings closed for 136 runs. Being in a minority of 83, the Englishmen had to follow on, and were much more successful than in the proceeding innings. When the stumps were drawn they had compiled 245 runs for the loss of six wickets. The match was therefore drawn. Mr W. W. Read was the principal scorer, placing the splendid innings of 102, not out.
