Spofforth," added Mr Gilligan, "is reported to have said that he thought the Australians would win in 1926, as he considered they had more nerve. · He is right in'à way, though I think our fellows put up pretty stout fight. But the Australians have a wonderful fighting temperament, and I think the most important point for us to study is temperament.

THE LATE TOUR.
Discussing the recent tour, Mr. Gilligan said: "I never noticed any instances of funking by our men; I thought we did remarkably woll. But our batting was not so good as that of the Australians. They were good right down to No. II If we had seven wickets down our last three were more likely to put on ten than a hundred.
"Our bowling was quite as good as theirs, and our fielding definitely superforts the Australians them- selves admitted. L, as a bowler,
