TO-DAY'S MISCELLANY.
The most sensational finish of
■ Test match avar witnessed, wan fat the Oval in August, 1882, when the Englishmen were besten though in the second innings they wanted only 85 to win. In a graphic description of the match by T. Horan, a member of the winning team, we are told that 'fifty was on the board for two wickets, and it looked like a guines to a gooseberry on Eng- land. Presently W. G. Grace was held off Boyle at mid-off by Bannernian, and the board show- ed 4-32-53. No uneasiness at this stage. But during the next [partnership, between A. P. Lucas and the Hon. A. Lyttelton, Spofforth and Boyle bowled wilb such wonderful precision that
strange hush fell upon that vast circling crowd. Maiden followed maiden, and after half an hour a wild, tumultuous yəliḥ from 22,000 throats welcomes a single to Lyttelton. He is how opposed to Spofforth, who sands down an unplayable break-back. Lyttelton, who has made 12, the second highest score, is bowled, and my ideal balaman returns | crestfallen to the pavilion. I was fielding near the pavilion, and as 3. G. Steel passas on his way to the wicket be remarks, "This is enough to give a man an uneasy feeling in the stomach. It was. A. G. is caught and bowled for nought. Six for 70. Only 13 to win and four wickets to fall. That fine, punishing batsman Maurice Read is cleaned bowled by Spofforth for nougbt Seven for 70.
"The living wall round the arena is still as the grave," con- iours Horan's account: "you could hear a pin drop. Barnes passes me on bis way; his lips are ashen grey. I say, 'By Jove, Barnes, this is an exciting match? By an effort be raises a little saliva in his dry throat and says. Yes, but you'll win." He hits a double, and is held by Murdoch off Boyle. Nine for 15. Peate, the last man, hits a double, tries to repeat the stroke, is cleaned bowled by Boyle, and Australia has beaten by seven runs the Enest team that England ever sent into the field. The ex- citement was so tremendous and long-sustained that some of the spectators fainted, and one man dropped dem. The vast crowd | rushed the ground. patted the |Australisas on the back, and
cheered them to the echo. Thark was the only time I ever saw W. G. Grace looking a bit downcast over cricket. He said to me,
