showgra," the turf that was laid out for a special purpose, de 

 voted exclusively to another. We have not for years worked 

 hard to advance the interests of cricket, to now allow an iuno- 

 vatloa like lawn tennis to crowd out our manly ?ame without a 

 word of protest. Lawn Tennis Is a delightful siime for women 

 and ohildi-en, and, perhaps, for those of our own sex who avc of 

 feeble body and mind; but this is no argument why a ciii'ket 

 ground should be aonverted into a nursery or an infirmary. 

 Should the shade of the man who received the "hover from 

 Jackson " look down on some of our cricket fields of to-day, 

 he would no doubt think that he was money in pocket that he 

 was dead— and he would be about right. Yet we love to see 

 children enjoy themselves in the open air— particularly after a 

 wet day in the house. We have a boy. It delig-hts us to see 

 bim squirt a hose, of which pursuit he is extreiuely fond. We 

 have also a girl. It soothes us to see hor make a mud pie; but 

 should the pio be erected on our favorite pitch, or the hose- 

 squlrter direct bis aim at the back of our neck, we would ob- 

 ject. 



Shall the stumps that are now firmly planted be torn up be- 

 fore they have taken root? Not it we can help in staying the 

 deatroytnir hand. 



CouNTT CmoKBT.— Brooklyn, N. V., A\m. 30th.— Editor Forest 

 and Stream .—In answer to your request for information as to 

 the formation of a Kings County eleven, I would state that ear- 

 lier in the season I took coasiderable trouble to ascertain how 

 Bueh a project would be supported by resident cricketers of Kinjo 

 County, and! am glad to say that my efforts met with consider- 

 able success. I am satisfied that a g-ood team eould be got to- 

 gether if any other county will do likewise, and thus make an 

 opportunity for a county match. The object of the organization 

 was simply to play matches with other counties or localities, so as 

 to bring cricketers on the held in diflerent comoinations— playing 

 against bowlers other than we are now in the habit of doing— 

 thus helping to make more proUcient cricketers. Such matches, 

 I have no doubt, would be of great advantage to cricket. I hope 

 you will stir up the cricketers to organize other county teams, 

 and. If possible, play at least one match this season.

United States vs. Canada.— On Sept. 3d the Ejecntive Com- 

 mittee of the Cricketers' Association of the United States met 

 and selected the following team to represent the United States: 

 Messrs. George M., Charles, Daniel S. and Robert Newhali, Van 

 Kensellaer and Clark, of the Young America C. C. of Pblladel- 

 phla; Urewster, of the Germantown C. C; Thayer and Law, of 

 the Merlon C. C, of Ardmore; Hobt. Hargreave, of the Girard 

 0. C, of Philadelphia, and Kessler, of the Staten Island C. C, of 

 this city. While it is undoubtedly the strongest team ever se- 

 lected to do battle for the United States, we regret that it is not 

 thoroughly American. In times gone by the United States eleven 

 was composed of residents of the United States, irrespective of 

 their nationality. But now that the American exponents of the 

 game have react-.ed a degree of perfection equal, if not superior, 

 to that of the foreign cricketing element, we regret that a new 

 departure was not made from the old-time custom, and none but 

 Americans selected to represent this country. As it now stands. 

 It is a mixed team. It is not, however, too late to change, and w< 

 trust to SCR none but Americans take the field on Monday next 

 We cannot, however, but conaratulale the committee for the 

 tact they have shown in their selection, which has made every- 

 thing work so smoothly. The system oi; choice has been an 

 oellent one, and if the United States eleven does not win it 

 not be because it was handicapped by Internal dissensions or un- 

 manly jealousies. 



From Canada we do not receive the same good accounts ; i) 

 faot, we hear of one club that already talks of withdrawing froc 

 the association on account of its not being asked to send a repre- 

 sentative to play in the trial match. West vs. East. As this neg- 

 lect occurred in the face of that club's winning two association 

 ties, we admit it has grounds for complaint, butfor the good o} 

 cricket we urge it not to act too hastily. There is no reason why 

 the Onlurio Association should not work as harmoniously as the 

 one in the Slates. The Governor General has recently accepted 

 the olBce of President, and it will bean everlasting reproach to 

 the cricketers ol: Cauada if the association does not send a repre- 

 sentative eleven to meet their American cousins. The match. 

 East ys.Wcst, which was played Sept. 1st at Toronto, was a faili 

 as far as It^ object in brieging together the best players of the 

 Dominion was concerned, neither Hamilton, Ottawa or Moutreal 

 being represented. The following is the score:—

Germantown Jitniohs ex. Staten Island JtrNiORs.- This 

 match wasthetirst in the annals of American cricket, where a 

 team of boys have left their home to play in another city. In by- 

 gone days it was considered the thine to revolve as much as pos- 

 sible and secure players fresh from the other side to fill the ranks 

 of the clubs' elevens. A few organizations continue to advocate 

 this suicidal system— the result in the long run is lamentnble fail- 

 ure. The clubs that will be found in the future foremost in the 

 race are those that have to-day established training schools, 

 namely, junior membership elevens. Instil young blood in your 

 clubs and teach the youngsters how to play the game, and, more- 

 over, in a gentlemanly way, and it will not be long before the 

 question will arise " who shaU not play? " rather than " who can we 

 and to fill up our elevens ? " Mr. Tho=. MoKean, the President o£ 

 the G. C. C, came over to look after the boys, and Mr. F. W. Bis- 

 sell, the Secretary, was on hand to score. In a conversation on 

 the subject of junior membership, Jtr. McKean staled that his 

 club had recently been obliged to pass a law limiting the number 

 of junior members to 100, that the club was in receipt of many 

 new applications, and the junior list was now upwards of ninety 

 names. The eleven was composed of the sons of many of Phila- 

 delphia's oldest cricketers ; such names as Wister, Morgan, Welsh 

 and MeKean ha\'1ng been household words in cricketing circles 

 for many years. The ttrst two refreshed our memory of the past 

 and brought back incidents of the cricket field long forgotten. 

 These Philadelphia boys, too, have a mighty good notion of the 

 game, and many of their remarks upon the play were pat. Both 

 leams were composed of little gentlemen, and the play from first 

 to last full of " prett)- uricket : " may they keep it up for years to 

 come. Among the chips of the old block were Mr. Haughton's 

 two sons, who have been playing the game at LenoxvOle, Canada- 

 We take pleasure in giWng space for full score:—

Umpires— Germantown, Bromhead : Staten Island, Lane. 



—The Australians have at last, chiefly through the help of Lord 

 Harris, been able to arrange a match wi th the best English eleven. 

 The match was begun on the Oval on Monday last, the following 

 team playing for England : W. G., E. M. and G. F. Grace, Hon. A. 

 Lyttleton, Steel, Penu, Lucas, Shaw, Morley and Barnes. Eng- 

 land went first to the bat, and at the end of the first day's play 8 

 wickets w ere down for 410 runs, of which W. G. Grace contributed 

 1,52, E. M. Grace 36. 



On Tuesday the match was resumed, and the Oval is said to 

 have never presented such a spectacle. Over 20,000 people wit- 

 nessed the game the first day, and about 30,000 the second day. 

 England's Innings closed for 420. Australians followed for 149, of 

 which Bannerman made 3:;. In the Australians' second, having 

 been obbged to repeat, 6 wickets were down for 170 ; Murdock 

 79, and MoDonneU 43- Unfortunately Spofl'orth, the demon bowler, 

 who was Injured, did not play. As we go to press the Australians 

 are 101 behind to save a one innings defeat. Full score will be 

 published later on. 



New York English Team lvi. Scotch Wanderkrs.— There 

 was but a small attendance at Pi-ospect Park on Monday last to 

 witness the interesting match between the teams composed of 

 English and Scotch residents of New York and vicinity. The 

 game was had under the auspices of the Manhattan Cricket Club, 

 who kindly ottered their ground for the occasion. Shortly before 

 noon the Scotchmen put iri au appearance, headed by Bowman, 

 the piper of the Caledonian Club, whose dulcet strains aud.appro- 

 priate selection of tunes during the dia'ereut phases of the game 

 apparently caused great satisfaction to ihose from the land of the 

 thistle. At 12:30 P.M. the play began on a rather biting wicket, 

 and though the day remained cloudy the light was excellent up 

 to the time for drawing the stumpsat 6;3U p.m. The Englishmen 

 went irst to the bat, and secured the good total of 127 in their 

 innings, nearly one-half of which being contributed by Norley, 

 the M. C. C. professional. His score of 61, not out, was a remark- 

 ably sound exhibition of batting, made almost faultlessly. It was 

 oonipoBed of six 4'Si five 8's, five 2'8 and singles. The Bootohmen 



led off excellently, 22 runs being up before the fall of the first 

 wicket, but after the first three bats had beeu disposed of the re- 

 maining ones added but little to the tor,il. This was due to the 

 excellent bowling and fielding of Filmor, whose style was favored 

 by the wicket. He also made three rattling catches. During 

 this innings Norley, who had beeu allowed to playas a substitute, 

 was put on to bowl, and very properly objected to by Mr. Leud- 

 rum, the captain of the Scotch team.lThis disturbed Mr. Jackson's 

 equanimity so much that he left the gruund in a childish pet, and 

 his action was severely oiiticlsed by all present. Until a man 

 learns to control his temper a cricket ground is no place for him. 

 Hamilton bowled splendidly in the second innings. Score :—
