The Williams Grove Tournament.— Editor Forest and Stream: 

 The sportsmen's reunion at Williams Grove, Cumberland County, Pa., 

 on Saturday, June 28, met with fair success. We arrived ou the 

 grounds on the 9 a. m. train, and found that we were on an island, 

 beautiful beyond description, containing perhaps forty acres. In the 

 centre a large and ice cold spring supplies water cold and pure. Our 

 meals were farnlehed bj a Mr. It ass, who furnishes board for all who 

 may come unprepared with the necessaries of life. We found the trap 

 arrangments complete lu every respect— a screen made of boards, 

 double thickness, about two and one-half feet high and Blxl 

 long, semi- circular In shape, hiding from view the three >: 

 traps. The pall ropes were passed through board troughs, I 

 connecting and continuing In one main trough to the trap puller, 

 giving the shooter no chance of knowing which trap was bell 



.....■..■ . . 1 ■ . ■ , . ., . 



trapB, and the traps being moved to throw in a different direction at 

 every pull. With the fact that the shooting was done In t'i 

 many of lhe balls being thrown into and through the tree-tops, will ae. 

 count for not more lull scores. As I nave been an eve witness to 

 many contests of the kind, 1 mast confess thai, this wa"atlie beBt ar- 

 ranged, beat conducted, and most Intricate test of skill that 1 have ever 

 witnessed with the shot-gun.

—A team of Philadelphia cricketers will probably make a

—The second eleven of the Staten Island visit Philadelphia 

 on the 16th and 17th to play the second elevens of tho Young 

 America and Qcrmantown clubs. 



—The Staten Island's first eleven will shortly play the 

 Young America, Germantown, Merion and Belmont in Phila- 

 delphia, and the Baltimore at Baltimore. The 21st to the 26th 

 are the dates. 



Albany O. C— The following are the names of officers 

 elected at a recent meeting of the Albany (N. Y.) Club. 

 William Lacy, Pies.: Frederick P. Olcott, Vice-Plea: "Wil- 

 liam H. McNaughton', Sec'y ; George Story, Treas. 



Syracuse Tournament. — The Onondaga C. O. has selected 

 the Slat, 23d and 23d iusts. for their tournament. Major A, 

 H. Davis, President of the O. C. C, will offer a silver cup 

 for competition. The St. Georges, of New York, and the 

 Port Hope Club, of Canada, have been invited to send teams 

 for those dates. The cricket outlook in Western New York 

 is very encouraging, and great credit is due Mr. C. H. Mill- 

 ward, Secretary of the Onondagas, for his untiring efforts to 

 popularize the game. A new club has been recently organ- 

 ized at Utica, with W. Clark, M. D. , for Secretary, and also 

 one at Oswego Falls, with Mr. Thos. Carr for Secretary. 

 The latter club gives promise of becoming quite a strong and 

 permanent organization. 



Baltimore vs. Chester.— For the first time, elevens of 

 these clubs met on the Baltimore's ground at Mount Wash- 

 ington, on the morning of the 25th ult., and despite threaten- 

 ing clouds, followed by rain in the afternoon, the home club 

 won a creditable victory by ten wickets. The Pennsylvania 

 visitors, up to their match with the Baltimorians, had an un- 

 tarnished record. This, coupled -with the recent defeat of the 

 home club, made them feel confident of success. The Balti- 

 more eleven, however, remembering that "a game is never 

 lost until it is won," showed a marked improvement since 

 their last venture, and this time did finely for their club. For 

 Baltimore, T. Smith led in the batting with 31 (not out) and 

 7 (not out), while Oldham took 17 of the Chester wickets for 

 23 runs. For the Pennsylvanians, Harrison made top score 

 for his side with 7 and 11 ; Griffin, 13 and 0, and Wood, 10 

 and 1, Wood doing well with the ball, capturing 6 wicketa 

 for 22 runs. Annexed are tho totals :

Dorian vs. Mkbion.— Never was the uncertainty attending 

 the game of cricket more fully illustrated than in the match 

 on the 26th ult. , at Ardmore, between the first elevens of the 

 above named clubs. The Merions, with a first class eleven, 

 containing their best bowlers, were defeated by the young 

 Havcrford College boys by one inning and 10 runs, Fox alone 

 getting into double figures— 14 and 14 (not out). The bowl- 

 ing and fielding of the collegians was magnificent, as the 

 bowling analysis shows, Lowry taking 11 wickets at. the ex- 

 pense of only 38 runs, and Newkirk credited with 9 for 37 

 runs. When it is remembered that this was against a strong 

 batting team, including several of the best batsmen in the 

 country, the skill of the Dorians cannot be too highly com- 

 mended. For the victors Lowry contributed 15 and Newkirk 

 20. The totals are as follows :

Merlon , 40 40 80 



St. Georges vs. Manhattan.— The St. Georges, without. 

 Cross and Richardson, achieved a brilliant victory over a 

 strong eleven of the Manhattans, on their grounds at Hobo- 

 ken, on the 26th ult. Captain Soutter led "the score for his 

 side with a capital 49 (not out); Hyde-Clarke, 34 ; Giles, 29 ; 

 Conovei, 26 j Honssling, 12, and Moeran, 10— the innings 

 of the home club closing for the large total of 191. For the 

 Manhattans Hosford contributed a careful 31 (not out) ; G. 

 Scott, 21; Hulbert, 20; Haywood, 17; Jenkins, 13, and 

 Norley, 10— their innings footing up 131, thus leaving the 

 St. Georges the winners by 60 runs. 



Large Scores. — It may be remarked that on the 26th ult. 

 405 runs were made in the three innings of the St. Georges, 

 Staten Island and Manhattan clubs. This speaks well for 

 New York batsmen, who, by the way, never before scored as 

 well as they have done this season. 



Staten Island (2d) vs. Newark. — Twenty-five years ago 

 there was no town in the country that could Doast of as jolly 

 a lot of cricketers as Newark, or who played the game better 

 in the old-fashioned way. But alas ! "Death's winning ball" 

 has sadly thinned the ranks of these kindred spirits, and the 

 few that are left have long since given up Tubbing their shins 

 after the visitations from the youthful Hnllis, and calling out 

 " 'Ows that !" with a mixture of other interrogatory exclama- 

 tions. It was early this spring that a reunion of old players 

 and patrons of the game was suggested, and from this meet- 

 ing sprung the newly re-organized chfb. Several weeks ago 

 the Staten Island Club kindly extended an invitation to the 

 Newarkers to play their inaugural game on the 26th ult., at 

 their beautiful grounds. The Jerseymen accepted, but with. 

 becoming modesty named the Island's second eleven. Since 

 the match, however, it has occurred to several of the Newark 

 team that as far as the result went they might as well have 

 elected the first or even the fourteenth ; for second elevens, 

 like being given out " leg before wicket," are things that no 

 fellow can understand. Heller's second-sight is but child's 

 play to the mystery connected with a second eleven ! The tact 

 with which this indivisible collection of unites is produced, 

 throws old Greenleaf's pet brain stunners in the shade, and 

 the intrigue which is used in their formation would make a 

 Machiavelli's mouth water or cause his teeth to grind with 

 envy. Should a skeptic hint in the hearing of a second eleven 

 captain that the cricket's finger-board points to several first 

 eleven men in his team, he will be pounced upon and button- 

 holed, until he is persuaded that a more wretched lot of play- 

 ers was never before assembled for the purpose of wielding 

 bat and trundling ball. In tirrfe he will become so thoroughly 

 convinced that the sun never backed such a lot of "muffins," 

 that all the brains he has left will be employed in wonder- 

 ing " why on earth " such men are played at all if their club 

 wishes to win. The very players themselves will decry their 

 own proficiency until the game and its belongings shine outas 

 the quintessence of all the cardinal virtues. The Newark 

 team went to the Island and were defeated by one inning and 

 24 runs. It is apparent that it was no discredit for a newly 

 organized club, which virtually had no practice, to be defeated 

 by an eleven of cricketers who are in daily training and have 

 the finest and most available grounds in the vicinity of New 

 York, and an immense number of players to draw upon. 

 When the Newark club, which has plenty of good material, 

 secures a proper ground to practice upon there will be a very 

 different showing. It was a lovely day for cricket, and al- 

 though the match was too one-sided to be interesting, yet it 

 had special features. The game was enjoyed by every one, 

 and it was fun to see old Fred Hallis make the stumps fly 

 again. In days gone by, Hallis was one of the club's right- 

 hand men. He has always been known as a veiy fast bowler, 

 and his record shows that in 1859 he captured 6 wickets of the 

 All England eleven for 47 runs. Besides Hallis, the Newark 

 team includes Walters, the once famous pitcher of the Mutual 

 base ball club, who is probably the fastest underhand bowler 

 in the country. The fielding of both elevens was about equal , 

 but the catches that were missed by the Newark team during 

 the early part of the Staten Island's inning proved to be very 

 disasirous for the visitors. The batting, however, of the 

 Newarkers was certainly inferior to that of their opponents. 

 The game was begun promptly at eleven with the home club 

 at the bat, and before being disposed of they had scored 143. 

 It may be remarked that 5 of the best wickets were down for 

 33 runs. The principal scores were ; Eyre, 42, a well-played 

 inning with a slice or two of luck; Roberts, 35, including two 

 boundary hits, to square leg, for ; Irvine, a steady 25 (not 

 out), and Dodge, 12. SattsrtUwaite took 1 wicket?; Hallis, 4' 

 and Walters, 2. For Newark. Borrie contributed 20 and 5 • 

 Hatterthwaite, 8 and 10 ; W. Knight, 12 and 5 ; and Walters, 

 2 and 12. Bayard's bowling proved very successful, taking 

 10 wickets for 36 runs. Appended are the totals :

Single Wicket.— A series of single wicket matches are 

 being played on the Staten Islands grounds. Prize bats will 

 be awarded to the winners by the club. 



Another Australian Tka.m i'uis England. — The Sydney 

 men seem determined to have the honor and glory of sending 

 an eleven of their own home, and according to the telegrams 

 received arrangements have been nearly completed for po 

 doing. There is no doubt that they can turn out a wonder 

 fully strong eleven if all the best men will go, but they cer- 

 tainly cannot find any efficient substitute for Blaekham, even 

 if they find Bayley's, Boyle's and Horan's places easy to fill. 

 There is also another scheme stated to be on foot between 

 the associations of our own and the sister colony to send 

 home a representative eleven of the two colonies. Of course 

 both schemes cannot be carried out, but whatever eleven goes
