_ ♦— The Australian Team. [Special to Pbess Association.] LONDON, August 14. W. Giffen, Coningham, and Jarvis stand out of the Australian team in the All-England match which began at the OvaUo-day, Flowers could not play for England, and W. W. Read waß selected in his place. The weather was Bplendid, and there was an enormous attendance. An excellent wicket was provided, and the ground was in first-rate order, so that the conditions were all favourable to heavy scoring. The home team wa3 lucky enough to win the toss, atd went in first. The greatest interest ie being taken in the match all over England. The Englishmen made a splendid stait, and so far have only lost three wickets for 200 runs— Grace 08, Stoddari 83 and Gunn 16. Despite all changes of the bowling the scoring went on steadily all through. Grace began fiukily, but as soon as be got set punished the bowling severely. When he had made 44 he was badly missed by Trumble in the slips off an easy chance. There were nine fours in his score. Stoddart was only batting two hours for hia runs, which included eleven fours and six threes. The only chance he gave waß a very difficult one in the blip?. Gunn and Shrewsbury steadily took the total to 200, when the formor retired, the Notts crack being still in.
