— The 30th — Decoration Day — being a holiday, the organi- 

 zations in the vicinity of New York have decided not to play 

 inter-club matches on that day. By this excellent arrange- 

 ment, no one eleven can monopolize the ground to the exclu- 

 sion of the rest of its club's members, uiany of whom have 

 no othei opportunity of playing except on a public holiday. 



States Islakd 23 re. CoCcscbia.— On Thursi 

 33d inst., the latter organization, hailing from Hoi 



visited the Island club on their grounds at Camp A - 

 ton, and by careful play landed a victory by 7 wickets. The 

 Columbian are an active lot of young players, and have im- 

 proved in their style since last B eaaon. Although we art 

 never sorry to see young clubs triump! i ■ rganiza- 



tions — which, as a rule, are too apt to under-rate . 

 opponents — yet we believe that beginners can derive greater 

 benefit from playing against, good, sound cricket ; and it 

 would seem the duty of the stronger dab, if only in compli- 

 ment to the youngsters, to at Least : ! elevens in the 

 field. By neglecting to do tliis, many would be good matches 

 are ruined, and one-sided, unsatisfactory games the result.

GekmastOwh vs. Miiiuon.— The first match of t sea- 

 son between these crack clubs was played at Niceto on 



Saturday, the 21th inst. Both teams were representative, but 

 the. bowling of Caldwell and T. Bargreaves (G. G. C.) proved 

 too much for the gentlemen from Ardmore, who lost the 

 match by 46 runs, on the first innings. The Merion Club is 

 stronger this season than we have ever seen it, and the Ger- 

 mantown did well to christen their new colors (red and blue) 

 in a victory against such opponents. Saturday is " Susan's 

 Sunday out" for cricket in Philadelphia, and no less than 

 four matches (in which eight clubs took part) were played on 

 the 24th, but on account of beginning late in the day only 

 one of these games was playeu out, the others being decided 

 on the one day's rule — i. e., first inning. One inning games 

 are unsatisfactory, as they rob the matches of all interest 

 when only half goue through with. Often Ihe most exciting 

 part of a match is toward the finish when the game is close, 

 as it is then we see our best cricket. In this contest, though, 

 the play did not begin until 11 o'clock and ended at 6 sharp, 

 yet three innings were played, the home club scoring 107 1st 

 innings and only 79 2d innings, a total of 136. The Merion 

 played but one inning for 61, leaving them to score 135 to tie. 

 Here was a chance for a good up-hill game, and when it is 

 remembered that with the same eleven, barring one man, it 

 scored 124 (1st inning) against the Young America in their 

 first match of the season, we believe this game would have 

 been a close one. For the Germantown John Hargreaves 

 scored 33 and 19; Joe Hargreaves, 9 and 10 ; Brown, and 

 15 ; Morgan, 14 and 2 ; Hoffman, 13 and 2 ; C. Caldwell, 

 and 12, and N. Caldwell 11 and 0. In bowling N. Caldwell 

 got 5 wickets for 17 runs, three in one over, and T. Har- 

 greaves 3 for 14. For Merion, Thayer (not out), 20 ; Law, 

 13. Fox got 10 wickets for 63 runs, and Law S for 61. The 

 following are th'e totals :

Belmont vs. Philadelphia— Belmont's CrrotiTids.—M, 

 West Philadelphia, on the 24th inst., the home club scored a 

 victory by 7 ruus over the veteran club of the Quaker City. 

 Three innings were played, the youngsters going twice to 

 the bat. In their second inning; though their seventh wicket 

 fell for the small score of 29, the eighth showed 83 and the 

 ninth 127! For B. C. C, Yarnall scored and 47; North, 

 8 and 30 ; Townsend, 8 and (not out) 35, and West. 38 and 3.

 In 1857, '53 and '59 there were hundreds of matches played 

 in Philadelphia between school-boys, and we are glad to "see

suppose there was a sportsman in the wilda of the Dismal S warap even 

 who did not by this time knowaU about the Dittinar powder question.

 ually so. If he is in good health we would not try to improve it.

 highly recommended in your colomns, ever been tested with insects on 

 plants ? Would it be likely to injure the plant 1 What is the price of

 feet. 



X. E. O.— What kind of a worm is this? My dog has got one. I have 

 tried areca nut, but it does not do any good. Ana. Tour drawing 

 looks something like the head of a tapeworm. If you give the areca 

 nut after fasting your dog for twenty-four hours, it will probably take 

 effect. 



W. B. R., Welland, Ontario.— On what shall I feed young mud turtles 

 kept in an aquarium ? Ans. Mud turtles will eat almost anything II

Asa, Siaunton, Va.— A setter dogia afflicted with a most distressing 

 cough. Generally it is a dry, hacklug oue, but sometimes he gets up a 

 little phlegm. He coughs particularly when he la excited— as when he 

 meets a canine playmate or ia noticed by his master. Hia appetite, 

 general health, etc., are good; no sign of disease save the cough.

 a ruu of Ave. No. 2 oisallows the claim because the last three cards

J. J., Remington, Wood Co., Wis.— I sent you by express, on the 

 12th, a Bmali bird that I shot here among a flock of blackbirds. I have 

 some curiosity to know what it is, as I do not remember to have seen 

 one like it before. Please let me Know through your paper what it ia. 

 Iff it ia in a well enough preserved condition to be mounted I should 

 ike to have it sent to Mr. Conway for that purpose. Ans. The bird was 

 duly received. It is a yellow-headed blackbird (Xanthenxcphatiie 

 ;ciji<jc.jj,h<iltts), a species common in Illinois, and from there westward. 

 The specimen was too old when received to be stuffed, 



Vldi, Boston.— 1. The teeth of my setter pup are somewhat discol- 

 ored, and look as If they were decaying. What can I do for her teeth? 

 2. At what age does a setter bitch come in heat for the first time, and 

 how may I fcaow of the approach of the heat, so as to confine her In 

 season ? Ana. It is an accumulation of tarur, which results In canker. 

 The dog must have plenty of bones, and the tartar removed by scraping 

 or with a dentist's Ale. Over-feeding or access to the fermented con- 

 tents of the s'.viil tub is probably the cause, although hot food will do It. 

 2. By a swelling atad bleeding of the parts.

 vided further, j hat no seine shall be drawn within one-fourth of a mile 

 any dam across any river of this commonwealth, under a penalty of 

 Atty dollars for each and every offence. 



M. J. B.— Too ate noli in claiming that the English racing yawl ia 

 little elao than a cutter. This arises from the fact that the Y. K. A. 

 rule allows yawla to carry main booms two-fifths abaft the end of the 

 load line, thereby reducing the mizzen on the arch board to a mere 

 rag. Naturally such a rig has the unhandiness of the large cutter 

 mainsail with the uselessness of a sail too small to be of service. Cut 

 off the boom, give jour boat a large mizzen, and all we have said iu 

 favor of the yawl holds good. Do not be alarmed by adverse criticism 

 from the sloop men. it proceeds from ignorance and inexperience. 

 : large sloop's helpleseneas in lumpy water, and it will convince 

 yon that something ia wrong somewhere.
