Foot-ball— Ann Arbor, Mich., May 31.— The foot-ball 

 eleven of the University of Michigan played the eleven from 

 Racine at White Stocking Park, Chicago, on the 30th of 

 May. The result of the game was a victory for University 

 of Michigan eleven by a score of one goal to zero. The Racine 

 eleven were obliged to make six touches in their goal in the 

 first inning and five in the second. Our eleven made no 

 touches in our goal, but one iu Bacine. The goal was made by 

 a catch. Our goal-keepers had nothing to do, the ball never 

 going behind our half-baek=. I here append a list of the two 

 elevens-. Racine— Rushers : Parker, Billings, Rogers, Tar- 

 bert, Cleveland, Eoberts ; Half-backs : Greene, Martin, ' 

 OrmBby; Backs: Johnston, Fulfortb. University Team — 

 Rushers : De Jarr, Chase, Pond ; right wing, Green, Hannan; 

 left wing, Reed, DePuy; Half-backs: Edwards, Campbell, 

 Barmore ; Goal-keeper, Mitchell. Our arrangement was, as 

 can be seen, different from theirs. Only two innings were 

 played. Another goal was claimed by the University team, 

 but was not given by the referee. There was good playing 

 ou both sides, considering that there was a wind blowing and 

 the ground was new and very soft in parts. Tibo. 



Laorosse.— Boston has appropriated $300 to defray the ex- 

 pences of a Pouith of July game of lacrosse between her Union 



Olub and the Montreal Lacrosse Club The married men of

 proposed to form a National Lacrosse Association in the United 

 States similar to that of Canada. 



Wiixiamsburgh Athustio Club.— The "Williamsburgh

 by 70 runs. This match was probably the best game that has 

 ever been played between two of Philadelphia's rival clubs,

Longwood vs. Boston.— The first match of the season in

 The home club, however, on this occasion won an exciting 

 victory by 11 runs. For Longwood, Bixby scored a good

Toong Ambbica vs, St. George3.— Hine men out of every 

 ou that went to Boboken on Wednesday, the 1th inst,, to we 



tiie Tomrg America gentlemen play the old Bl 

 knew almost 1,0 a cci'faint.y in whose favor the game would 

 result before a ball was bowled, for of late the youngsters 

 have been teaching their paternal ancestors how to absorb 

 the contents of hen fruit. Until recently this match has 

 always been looked forward to by the cricketing fraternity as 

 an event of the season, and both clubs were expected to pre- 

 sent their full strength. On this occasion, however, the 

 Philadelphians were short the services of Large and Baird 

 and the New Yorkers those of Soutter and Richardson. 

 Now, there is always a class of spectators at a New York 

 cricket match who express dissatisfaction if they do not see 

 the same men play who. five, ten or twenty years ago, were 

 wont to wield the willow; and it was only the other day, 

 When the St. Georges were losing their wickets Tather fast, 

 tliut we heard an old fellow ask "where was Bingham?" 

 (Dingham was once a St. Georges player, who has been dead 

 for many years.) It is absurd to play men whose record is 

 only one fair score out of twenty matches, and when the 

 eleven of the home team made its appearance, it was at once 

 seen that a weeding process had been going on, and that the 

 vacancies were wisely filled by young players. The change 

 had at last been made, and although victory did not this time 

 reward the new deviation, yet the move was a good one, 

 which will surely tell in the future. It was apparent to all 

 that the St, Georges' fielding had never been better, and at 

 times it was really brilliant. The old cricket axiom of select- 

 ing an eleven had been carried out—" Much better play a 

 good field than a bad field and uncertain bat." It was not 

 only in the field that the new players excelled, for one of the 

 substitutes, Mitchell, did excellently at the bat, and the junior 

 member, Campbell, took five of the best wickets for 32 runs, 

 and Conover could not have been surpassed in fielding. Want 

 of space prevents us from speaking fully of Cross' splendid 

 batting and wicket-keeping, and Moore's flue long-stopping. 

 The game was begun about two o'clock on Wednesday and 

 finished early on Thursday, the Young America winning by 

 one inning and 43 runs. 



States Island (2d) vs. Manhattan (2d).— These elevens 

 met for the first time this season at Prospect Park, on the 6th 

 inst., when the game resulted in a draw on account of rain. 

 At the time when the stumps were drawn, however, the 

 Islanders had the game in their hands ; and had weather and 

 lime permitted, would have undoubtedly won a one-inning's 

 victory. For the visitors, Satterthwaite contributed an ex- 

 cel lent 54; Moore, 34; Forbes (not out), 20; Hole, 1C, and 

 Davidge 14. On the Manhattan side Hayward's G was top 

 score. The totals were as follows :

Philadelphia's Headquabters fQb Cr.ioirETSBS.— The 

 American Cricketers' Association has secured a club-room at 

 003 Walnut St., for the accommodation of home cricketers 

 and visiliog teams ; and as the location is a eontral one, out- 

 of-town clubB will find it both a convenient and pleasant 

 place to meet their brother cricketers. Philadelphians have 

 always been noted for hospitality, and this new move of theirs 

 is only another one in the right direction to popularize their 

 favorite game. 



Newakk Cricket Club.— The formal re-organization of 

 this old New Jersey club took place on June Gth, when the 

 following officers were elected for one year: President, J. D. 

 Orton ; Vice-President, F. Satterthwaite ; Secretary, John 

 Mills; Treasurer, D. A. Nichols; Directors, Messrs. Warner, 

 Williams, Knight, Kerr and Borrie. The club has already a 

 list of about fifty active members, which number will be 

 trebled before the end of the season. It is the intention of the 

 management to make it one of the leading clubs in this 

 country, and many of Newark's most prominent citizens will 

 contribute to this end. 



Manhattan vs. United Pateeson.— On the 30th— Deco- 

 ration day — the Brooklyn club visited the United Paterson 

 on their new grounds at Ten House Lots, Totowa, near Pat- 

 erson, N. J., and scored their first game and victory. This 

 match is an annual affair, and is always played with manly 

 earnestness by both parties. There is a large cricketing ele 

 meut in Paterson, which this season is divided between two 

 clubs, each of whom has its own grounds. There is nothing 

 like honest rivalry to bring out good cricket, and if both 

 organizations will bear this in mind, they will build up two 

 really first class clubs. The day was delightful, as all holi- 

 days should be, and several hundred spectators were on the 

 ground when play was called at 13 m. The grounds of the 

 United Club are beautifully situated, and although the 

 wicket proved hard and rather lumpy, there was some ex- 

 cellent play shown on both sides. For Ihe Brooklynites 

 Scott scored au excellent 23 and 15; Brewster, 15 and 17; 

 Hooper, 13 and 6; Jackson, 7 and 12, and Greig, 10 and 4. 

 In the bowling Brewster excelled, taking 8 wickets for 32 

 runs, and Hosford captured 6 wickets for 34 runs. For the 

 home team Romery assisted with a careful (not out) 17, and 

 Bullock a good 10 and (not out) 8, Between the Innings the 



home club entertained their guests iu the good old 

 way to a good lunch. Annexed are the totals of the play i

Staten Island First Eleven vs. Next Twenty-two.— Fri 

 day last was a gala day on the beautiful grounds of the 

 Island Club. A large number of spectators turned out to 

 see the match, in which thirty-three members took part. 

 The day was a cricketer's own, and some good cricket was 

 shown on both sides. For the first eleven Harvey batted 

 well for 12, and for the twenty-two Lee contributed 11, and 

 Irving and Manning 9 each. The majority won. as the totals 

 will show :

Columbia College vs. Staten Island.— On Saturday, the 

 31st inst., a selected eleven of the Island Club received the 

 eleven of Columbia College, New York, mi their grounds at 

 Camp Washington. Although the Collegians were, badly 

 beaten, yet their playing was remarkably good, especially 

 their fielding, when it is remembered it was their maiden 

 match, and that they had pitted agaiust them several of the 

 Staten Island's best men. It is no joke for a lot of gentle- 

 men, without practice, to contend against a team that, has 

 been hard at work for a month or more ; and the New 

 Yorkern' plucky venture deserved a better late. There were 

 five or six good cricketers in the College eleven, and when 

 their club gets underweigh it will be no walkover lo win a 

 match of them. It is a great thing to be well enptuined, and 

 we have to compliment Mr. Clark for Ihe tact with which ho 

 handled his raw recruits. " Cricket is the gentleman's 

 game," and we expect in the future to see our best players 

 hail from colleges and schools. The game is certainly get- 

 ling a good hold in several of our best, known collegiate insti- 

 tutions, and when the Kip Van Winkles of Central Park 

 awake to the fact that the game of cricket does not destroy 

 and devastate, perhaps our college boys will bo permitted lo 

 use that portion of the Park which was originally intended 

 and laid out for a cricket ground. This matter requires a 

 little looking into, and the Park Commissioners would un- 

 doubtedly listen to any reasonahle request made them by 

 the faculty of Columbia College. We can suggest no better 

 way than the above for opening to our New York cricketers 

 the grounds that they should be' allowed to occupy, and 

 which they would keep in order without expense to the 

 city. 



Play did not commence until the arrival of the one o'clock 

 boat from the city. The match, however, was played out, 

 the Island Olub winning by one inning. Special mention 

 should be made of the batting of F. Mitchell and the field- 

 ing of Outerbridge. We append the score of the first two

Oun Office Boy who Wonu a Sailor Be,— Editor 

 Forest arid Stream : I thought I would like to be a sailor, so, 

 Friday, May 30, found me on board the West/a-n Tern* once 

 more, this time to work. I worked good enough until the 

 next morning, and then quit and shipped over agsin, this time 

 as a passenger. Sunday I saw flying-fish for the first time, 

 and passed five steamships, one of which was our sister ship 

 the Uity of Dallas. A boy with the nightmare the night be- 

 fore created quite a sensation, the passengers thinking some 

 one had fallen overboard, untd I cleared up the mystery. On 

 Monday I saw a large shark, and also sighted Charleston har- 

 bor, and at midnight we were in Port Koyal, where wo lay 

 tiil five a. it., and then left for Brunswick, where we arrived 

 at five T. m. An hour later were on our way to Jacksonville, 

 running very slow, as we did not want to be too early for the 

 tide next morning. We got over the bar at the mouth of the 

 St. Johns before f got up, and at eight A. m. were in Jackson- 

 ville. Had nice weather all the way down, excepting head 

 winds. Went all over the city that day and the next, and 

 found it very pretty. At four Thursday afternoon were on 

 our way home, and at half-past seveu were over the bar, with 

 fifteen and a half feet of water. Arrived at Brunswick at 

 half-past one the next morning, and after breakfast went to 

 see what there was to bo seen" in the town, but did not find 

 much, excepting some pigs with noses a yard long, and so 

 thin you could read a newspaper through them. Left Bruns- 

 wick about six p. m. and arrived at the last stopping-place 

 before getting home, the elegant city, composed of a few 

 grocery stores and bar-rooms and lots of darkies, called Port 

 Royal at eight A. m., and left in about an hour. The men-of- 

 war Pawnee and New Hampshire were lying in the harbor. 

 Sunday morning found that during the night I had been tell- 

 ing some one to fasten a bow line to the top-gallant yard arm; 

 stiff head breeze all the morning, but in the afternoon died 

 down, and when off Frying-pan Shoals took my hat lo die 

 along with it. Passed the Dallas at half-past five e. m. Saw 

 nothing Monday but a large school of porpoises. On Tuesday 

 morning Mr. Risk, the first mate, told me that we would be 

 in New York about five p. m. Passed Barnegat Inlet at half- 

 past nine A. Id"., and at half -past five P. m. we were at the pier. 

 All the passengers, numbering forty-two, drew up a paper, 

 saying that, as some people had said that the Western Texas 

 was not a good sea boat, they wanted to make it public that 

 she was a very steady ship, and was a splendid sea bust, and 

 that she was the best-officered ship they ever saw or heard of. 

 They unanimously voted Captain Hines a '' brick," and all 

 the other ofileers in proportion. The ship has had bilge keel- 

 sons run along both of her sides to prevent her rolling, aud it 

 takes a heavy sea to make her roll. She is going to lie up a 

 trip to have more state-rooms put on, so as to accommodate 

 about seventy-five saloon passengers. Through the influence 

 of this paper, the Mallory Line has become a well-deserved 

 favorite with thejtraveling public. Mr, O'Rourke, manager 

 of the City Press Association, and many other friends, having 

 made the acquaintance of Captain Hines and enjoyed the hos- 

 pitality of his ship, do not hesitate to express favorable opin- 

 ions of the line and its management^
