Rain Interferes In Aussies' Last Game
Scarborough, Sept. 8.-Rain interfered with the match here between the Australians and H. Leveson Gower's XI. This is the tourists last game before their departure for home.
Leveson Gower's XI had scored 94 runs for two wickets when stumps were drawn for the day.

AGA KHAN FAVOURED FOR
HIS SIXTH ST. LEGER
Doncaster, Sept. 8.-There is every indication that the Aga Khan will win his sixth St Leger, which is being run here on Saturday before the King and Queen and an anti- cipated crowd of a quarter of a million, either with the hot favourite, My Love, or with Noor, which he bred himself.
My Love, winner of the Epsom Derby and the French Grand Prix, is out to accomplish a treble, only accomplish- ed once back in 1865, and there are few that do not think My Love will do it.
