I tried the shot barrels with three drachma Carte's * Harvey's powder 

 and one and a qnarter ounce No. 8 shot. The average target wao 197 pel- 

 lets, in a 30-incn circle at 40 yards, with left : band barrel and 236 pellets 

 with the right-hand barrel. Penetration first rate. I then tried the 

 rifle barrel and found it to shoot equally well. I could not try beyond 

 200 yards, but it was very satisfactory at that distance, and at 100 yards 

 would put the balls inside of the size of a dollar, of course I used a rest 

 as 1 vvas trying the rifle and not mvself . . , • 



As a sun for turkeys and deer, I should imagine it a very deadly weap- 

 on. Just the thing for Florida or the North Woods, or any region 

 where large and small game abound. H.

CRICKET . 



Americans vs. English. — The cricket event of the sea- 

 son was the grand match played at Philadelphia September 

 14th and 15th, between native American and English-born 

 twelves, the former selected from the Philadelphia cricket 

 clubs, and the latter from Philadelphia, New York, Bos- 

 ton, and Detroit. The weather was propitious, and there was 

 a numerous and fashionable gathering of spectators at the 

 Germantown Club grounds on both days. The contest 

 proved to be a one-sided one, as the Americans won easily 

 in one innings with 50-odd runs to spare. On Thursday 

 the Americans went to the bat and ran up the large score 

 ot 217 runs, of which Soper Baird scored the handsome 

 total of 80, he carrying his bat out, John Large contiibu- 

 ting 41, and Bob Newhall 89. The English then went in, 

 and at the close of their first innings they were minus 114 

 runs of equalling their opponent's score, WhithanVs 42 be 

 ing the feature of their batting. They had to follow their 

 innings, and in the second innings retired for 55 only, 

 Bance leading the score. The full score is appended :—

Umpires— Mr. Samuel Welsh, Jr., for the Americans, 

 and Mr. Frederick Farrands, of Boston, for the English, 

 On Friday and Saturday of this week the Americans will 

 play another Knglish team to he selected without profes- 

 sionals. 



There is an effort being made to have a game with the 

 American team and the English "clowns." If it can be 

 arranged the match will be about the 29th and 30th inst. 

 The only difference seems now to be that the clowns want 

 a one-day match instead of either two days or a full game. 

 It is greatly to be hoped that the game will come off, and 

 equally to be hoped that by advertisement or otherwise 

 the attendance may be an increase over the audiences that 

 witnessed the matches so far this season.

The European Lacrosse Trip.— The Committee have 

 just submitted to the subscribers a financial statement em- 

 bracing a detailed exhibit of the expeness of the team. The 

 gate money was divided with the clubs under whose auspices 

 the visitors played, and at most of the matches several hun- 

 dred persons were admitted free. The matches at Windsor 

 Castle and Eton were merely honorary, the expenses of the 

 team reached £30 per day. The amount received from 

 subscribers to the guarantee fund was $1,315; from the 

 team the total was $2,285; from the various matches in 

 Dublin, Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Sheffield, 

 Oval (London) Richmond, Brightan, Princes* (Loudon), 

 Lords (London), Hurlingham, Bristol, Manchester, San- 

 down Park, etc., $7,910.12; matches in Montreal and 

 donations, $566; total, $11,976.57. The expenses were 

 for railway traveling, wages of Indians, hotel fare, print 

 ing, etc., $10,790. 



It was the original intention to take the amount origi- 

 nally gauranteed by each member of the team from the 

 total, leaving the balance to the citizens who subscribed, 

 but with the unselfish spirit which appears to have character- 

 ized their whole proceedings since the plan was first mooted, 

 the team abandoned this, intention, and cast in their lot 

 with the subscribers, each to share alike. The result is 

 that each subscriber receives back one-third of the amount 

 paid. Dr. Beers, notwithstanding die heavy work under- 

 taken and accomplished by him, shares in the ratio as the 

 other members of the team, and, in addition, pays all the 

 expenses of the organization of the trip last year. It was 

 thought that enough money would have been realized to 

 form the nucleus of a fund wherewith to purchase a 

 ground for the use of our athletes, but that idea seems to 

 be now out ol the question. — Montreal Star.

 tinguished sources, and have mailed you the papers containing it.

 little meat. He is now about seven months old. Prom what I have

 northwest portion of the State. 2. Deer still abound in the northern

 His appetite is good, but he keeps very poor. 2. Of late he keeps shak- 

 ing hiB head and scratching hie ear very carefully. What can 1 do for 

 him? Ans. 1. Your pointer in ail probatdlity has worms; have mailed 

 to you the proper doses or ar^ca nut, with directions for it- use. which 

 will cure him if he has, and will put him in condition if he has not. 2. 

 It is canker of the ear which causes him to shake bis head. Make a 

 solution of sulphite of copper, eight grains to every ounce of water. 

 Clean jtne ear with Castile soap and warm w&rer, then pour in t! e solu- 

 tion twice a day for two or three 'd^ys. Give him plenty of exf-rcies a&4
