ituck up the bowling completely. McLaren joined his fellow countryman and was soon at work, both Ward and he scoring singles and conplea in quick succession. With a view to stop the continuous run-getting H. Trott again went on relieving McKibbin. and Iredale badly missed Ward off him, two runs resulting. At 274 A. Trott relieved Giffen, and when a quartet had been added, principally through the aid of Ward, H Trott dismissed the latter as 4 o'clock Wai striking. 4f r 278 Ward had knocked up 93 in 3 hours 27 minutes, and his score comprised 1 6ve, 6 fours, 8 threes, and 7 twos. Peel joined issue and began by lifting Trott to square leg for 4 and a ■ingle, and a couple to eaih batsman re sulted in 290 appearing by Feel registering a single off Giffen, McLaren drove Giffen for single and Peel drove h;m for three, and then the Yorkshire professional made the winning hit by driving Harry Trott almost to to the fence, when four were run The crowd cheered the Englishmen lustily on returning to their ionv. Ihe attendance was estimated at 18OK), and £4000 was taken at the gates fr-r the meeting. Following are the scores:— Australians.—First Innings ..„ .. 414 Engmshmen.—lst Innings 385 Australians—2nd Innings 267 Englishmen —2nd Innings. Brockwoll, c and b Giffeu 5 Stoddart, lbw b H.

Sydney, March 7' There was considerable exutement here over the cricket match yesterday. Immense crowds again blocked the streets, watching the returns which were posted every few minutes. The tension became intense as the Englishmen steadily overhauled their opponents' lead, and continuous cheering greeted the brilliant victory.

Melbourne, March 5 Stoddart's team came very strong at the finish after all, and won with any amount in hand. Among the Australians there was a want of confidence. * I think, with equal chances, our fellows ought to win,' said Blackhatn, just before piny began. * 269 is • big score to set a team in the last innings. For my part I would rather hive them on the slate than have to make them.' Be ng aaked whether he thought the Australian bowling strong enough, 'There's plenty bowling there,' he answered. *I think you'll find it enough. Of course, if Turner had been in form, he. must have been picked ; but he has not been bowling well all this season, and we could not leave out McKibbin.' ' Our match ' was the universal cry when the English captain left first ball yesterday. ' Who have they got to make the runs,' was asked with reservation in favor of getting Ward out. There was a general feeling of satisfaction, but when Brown went in and began to bang the bowl ing all over the field, comfort also began to fidget in its seat.. How the little Yorkshire man did hit! He ran up his first forty in 18 minutes whila Ward was cautiously making eight. Fifty in 26 minutes, and 102 in eighty. five minutes ! All bowling seemed alike to him. He cut, drove and dragged for two hours and 27 minutes, while Giffen, McKibbin, the Trotts, and Bruce exhausted the whole repertoire of the wiles known to bowlers. It was one of the very best exhibitions of dashing batting these test matches have developed. Leas showy, but equally effective wan Ward's performance. Both had the bowling completely at their mercy, and af *er their departure all was roon over. Peel made the winning hit, and McKibbin, who fielded the ball, put it in his pocket. The weakness of the bowling principally accounted for the victory. Albert Trott, was the onty one who had any considerable spe d, and here was evidently not sufficient variety. Trott's best ball, r moreover, is a slow one. Except that McKibbin's methods are peculiar, it might be said that on a good wicket when one is collared all are collared, The fielding was good enough for anything. Gregory, McKibbin, A. Trott, and Ire dale saved many runs by sheer brilliant and desperate vigilanqo. The bowling was undeniably weak, and not up to the previous form of the same men. The crowd was ex tremely generous. Nothing deserving passed unrecognised. There was a strong English connection among the spectators, but among the supporters of Auatra^a there was no stint of fair play. When the winning stroke was made the people stood up and cheered as h»rtily as they could have done had the result been otherwise. Stoddart was nat v • rally delighted with the vie to-y which, after his own departure, had not seemed likely. In his opinion his men are just a little above the beat Australian eleven, but they Bhowed m much tail in the first innings, and 297 seemed such a big task, that he was doubt ful about the issue. "To defeat such a side as the Australians put in the field," he said, " and to beat them on Australian soil too, is an achievement which the very best team England can produce would have occasion to feel proud of." Both sides tried very hard to win, and the loser has nothing to be ashamed of.

Stoddart said a very significant thing to Turner as he was bidding him good-bye. "I ought to shake hands with you sincerely," he remarked," for you helped us to win tho match." This was in reference to Turner's non-inclusion in the team.

Giffen said the defeat of the Australians was due to the batting of Brown and Ward, ** It was a phenomenal performance for two men to go in and make thoae runs—abso lutely phenomenal." Aaked about the Australian bowlihg, he said, ''Our fellows did not bowl as well as they have done. Not even Albert Trott: he was not at all in hie best form." Though a fast bowler made a lot of difference to a side, he admitted now that the team would have been stronger if C. McLeod or Eady had been inoluded. It is freely stated the bowling if not np to the Btandard, During the «peech>making after the game Giffen good htuapredly said he was not in great form as hp bad prepared a winning speech.; He gave the Englishmen every credit ■ and only hoped some future team would tarn the tablet.

A Visitor's Opinion.

Melbourne, March 7

At a meeting of the Melbourne Chamber of Commerce, Mr Poolman reported that on a recent visit to New Zealand he did not find the position of affairs so good as he had been led to expect. Business was no better than in Victoria, nor was the general prosperity of the country so great.
