On both occasiona he led England to victory; at the Ovil, to recover the Ashes after many long years of waiting and disappointment; at Melbourne, to retain them. We had to go back seventeen years to find England winning the mibber in Aus tralia, and never before had we won the first three Test matches in suc-. cession on a'tour in Australia.

The M.C.C. team of 1911-12 lost the first Test, and then won the next four.

Interest, little slackened, is taken in the remaining two matches since all, English cricketers are now an- -xlous to see Chapman win them both, to create a new record, and, Incidentally, level up that 5-0 affair of W.W. Armstrong's in 1920-21.
