— A game of cricket was played Saturday at Cambridge, 

 between the 1st eleven of the Bostons and the Albion Ctuli 

 nfNeedham. The first inning of the Bostons scored 76 

 aud that of the Albions (iS. The second inning of the 

 Bostons footed up 1 13, and it was so late an hour when the 

 Albions went to the bat that by the time they had counted 

 up 70 darkness came on, and the game was called, they 

 having but six men out. 



—The Montreal Club after their whipping here went to 

 Boston and lost a game with the Bostons by five wickets, 

 and at Salem lost another by one wicket. 



—The Berling cricket club, of Berling, Ont,. defeated 

 the Guelph club, August 18tli, at the former place by 68 

 to CI. Jaffray's 15 was the best score on the winning side. 



The Halifax tourney of 1874 will long be remembered 



by all who participated in it with great pleasure. The 

 Halifax Timet, of August 28, in a closing article on the 

 subject, says : 



The game proved entirely .successful. All the men came 

 up to time as they had promised, and all the matches came 

 off. "With our American cousins it was, to use an original 

 classic quotation, a ease of "ee/iimas, -vidimus, ciciiiias."— 

 They carried off the champion cup, their gallant captain 

 won the highest average batting cup, aud the bowling cup 

 falls to one~of their bowlers. And this they accomplished 

 by no stroke of luck, no fortunate fluke in any instance, for 

 such things do sometimes occur in cricket, but all through 

 undoubted skill, and a thorough mastery of the noble game 



In congratulating them on their well-earned laurels, we 

 are reminded that there are others to'be congratulated. In 

 particular do we render our congratulations and our thanks 

 to Capt. Wallace; the former for the complete success 

 which has crowned all his efforts, and the latter for the 

 kind courtesy he at all times extended to the press. 



We have undergone a revolution in cricke: during the 

 past two weeks. Our old idols have been Shatter* d, and 

 new ones erected on the vacant pedestals. America has 

 usurped the position of England, as queen of cricket, and 

 io American cricketers we shall look up with envious admi- 

 tation, until a band of well tried men from our own country 

 encounters an American team on their own ground, and 

 satisfactorily trashes h "'-" - - - - 



allegiance, and this we fervently hope will come to pass at 

 no very distant date.

— The Oneida base ball tourney closed September 3. It 

 was a complete success in every way, and was well attended 

 bv people from all parts of the State. The first prize of 

 $400 was won by the Flyaways, of New York, and the 

 second, 4200, by the Kassaus of Brooklyn, while the 

 Knklnx, the home club, took ,$100, the third prize, the 

 "latter defeating the Chelseas, of Brooklyn. 



— There are twenty four base ball clubs in Lexington, 

 Kentucky. 



"Land and Water," of August 22, says : "The American 

 champions will not be sorry, I should" fancy, when they 

 have turned their backs on English shores, t had hoped 

 that their reception would at least, have been cordial, even 

 if their national game had been unpalatable to English 

 tastes. At Sheffield great, expectations had been formed of 

 a huge gathering of enthusiastic grinders; for Sheffield is, 

 and always has been, the place of places for a hearty recog- 

 nition of anything like pluck in the way of sport, Shef- 

 field, though, had apparently set ils face against the Ameri- 

 can visit, and, oblivious of "the fact that something like 

 kindness of reception would have been grateful and wel- 

 come to men who had traversed the sea for the one object 

 of showing Englishman their game as it should be phn'ed, 

 the Sheifielders, who will turn out in numbers from five to 

 seven thousand to witness a football match, came in to the 

 nine of about a hundred on each day, and moreover pre- 



lOl-or. B W --'-'■ --' ■ '- i ll ">■• Cf'OU lfi!-....s'-h- 



out the proceedings. According to accounts, the reception 

 of the Americans at, Manchester has not been remarkable 

 for any great hospitality. An extract from a letter from 

 an American source is characteristic : 'The British Lion 

 don't war worth a cent, The players had to pay for lunch 

 to-day. How is thai for high ? The American eagle still 

 screams.' In the interest of English sport, 1 can only es 

 press regret at such inhospitably." The treatment, of Eng- 

 lish cricketers in America has been, according to report, 

 very different, Al least the Americans seem to have the 

 advantage of us in courtesy and warmth of reception." 



This contrasts strongly with the courtesy of the Halifax 

 cricketers towards our American team. 



—On September Md a match at Rockets was played al 

 Barney McQunde'x Rocket Court, 404 Madison street', New 

 York, in which James Moore, of Philadelphia, aud William 

 Devoy, of this city, were contestants. The conditions of 

 the match were the best three games in five, fifteen points 

 up, for $500 a side. The games were marked by line playing, 

 the BCOriBg of Moore being very skillful, while Devoy made 

 some very sharp returns, the activity of both contestants 

 being noteworthy. Moore won the first game by 16 to 1", 

 after a short but'close contest, as also the second by :t some 

 of 1.1 to 9. In the third game, Devoy was completely one 

 played, he scoring but 5 points to Sloore's 15, the "latter 

 winning in three straight, games. Afterwards, double 

 hand matches at rocket's and hand ball closed the day's 

 sport, Keating and Moore defeating Devoy and Fitzpatri'ek 

 at rockets, and Barney McQuade and Keating defeating A. 

 Mefluade and Cook at hand ball.
