Ireland has cause a huge surprise by beating England in the International matches which began here to-day. It was sweeping and uncompromising victory-11 games to two halved.

The rout of the English players was so complete that only B. B. Bayliss, of South Staffs, the last man on the side, won his game.

The reconstructed Irish side, containing five new "caps," the brothers Rey and Fred McConnell, Dr. Flaherty of London, C. Ewing, and W. O'Sullivan, an undergraduate of Cork University, have gained a conspicuous success. Her new players have helped to best England for the first time in her rolfing history-an event of some importanco.

:

Fine team work in which every man pulled his weight was the secret of the Irish players' success.

Scotland beat Wales in the other encounter by 8 games to 4,. with two halved.
