A POETICAL WAIL. 



The Hyde-Halford fiasco, about wliieh we have not been at all 

 backward in echoing the opinion of every riflemen of prominence 

 and the general feeling of the rifle world, has almost passed mto a 

 mere recollection. The indignation is simmering away as it comes 

 to be understood that EugUshmeu gradually understand the situa- 

 tion. Up from the pleasant village of Flushing, on Long Island, 

 where Hyde has a residence, comes to us the following effusion. 

 Its pleasant ii'ouy is a relief after the bitter flings from the same 

 Bomfo, and we print it as a pleasant finale to this unfortunate 

 match ; 



THE MD0-H1INTEB.S' DETECirVE. 



" As finally made up, the Hyde team included Jackson, Laii'd, 

 Scott, Brown. Hvde, Dudlev. Gemsh and Rockwell. The ' repre- 

 sentative American gentleajen,' as they were proud to style them- 

 selves, have become a mere partv of rang-hunters."— Editorial 

 Forest and Stre.V3I, July 29, ISSO. " 



Creedmoor "will be no place for mug-hunters, or those who shoot 

 for the ducats."— Bditorial Forest and .Stream, Aug, 26, 1880. 

 Mentor of marksmen ! Sporting sage ! 



We know it would be meet 

 That every rifleman should bring 



Hi8 ti-ophies to thy feet. 

 Thou searcher into heart of man. 



Though young, so wondrous wise. 

 The hidden motive thou can-st scan 



Of each who seeks a prize.

Medallions gold and bright, 

 Ye ducats roU, ye tempt the sotil,

 •Twere better far, the sage hath said, 

 Than silver mugs to win.

THE AUSTRALL\N CRICKETERS. 



AFTER four months of severe work, which would have thorough- 

 ly incapacitated a less muscular team, the AustraUans have 

 brought theii- second trip to England to a successful termination. 

 It has been argued by some critics tiat their form diulng the last 

 month was inferior to that shosm dmlng the earUer part of the 

 stay, but it would be difticult to sustain this argument ; and, in- 

 deed, when it is considered that the Colonials have not only been 

 reduced to play without two of tieu- very best aU-round ropresentji- 

 tives, but on several occasions to bat with only ten men ; j 

 further, when the amount of travehng they have done since 

 match at the Oval is taken into computation, it nrast be admitted 

 that the show they have made in their later matches has only 

 creased their reputation, certainly for pluck. Altogether the team 

 have figured in thirty-seven uiutches, of which they have w 

 twenty-one, drawn twelve and lost lorn-. Of these twenty-six wi 

 against odds, the remainder with eleven on each side, and it 

 worthy of note that imt.il then- twenty-seventh engagement at Scar- 

 borough against a local eighteen, when they lost by ninety nms, 

 and Spofforti unfortimately received an injury to liis hand which 

 incapacitated him for the rest of the tour, they had never been de- 

 feated. In some cases they had to meet strong eighteens, but of 

 the twenty-six matches they were only defeated twice, at Scarbor- 

 ough and Spookport, and against these were victorious at South- 

 ampton, Longsight, Rochdale, Burnley, Malton, Belfast, Birming- 

 ham, Northampton, Harrogate, Middlesborough, Oldham, Crystal 

 Palace, Htmslet, Bradford, Sunderland and Yeadon, and drawn 

 games at Keighley, Newcastle-on-Tyne, Broughton, Hiill, Ci'ewe, 

 Hastings, Dublin and Glasgow. The eleven a-slde matches were 

 against Derbyshire, Yorkshu-e (2), Leicesterslure, Gloucestershire, 

 England, Sussex ; Players (2), Notts and Gentlemen of Scotland : 

 and of these Derbyshire, Y'orksMre (at Dewsbm-y), Gloucestershire, 

 Players (at Crystal Palace), Leicestershire, and Gentlemen of Scot- 

 land were one ; those against Yorkshire (at Huddej-sfield), Players 

 (at Bradford), and Sussex, drawn ; and those against England and 

 Notts lost. The matches against odds have httle real interest, but 

 a few statistics regarding the chief members of tie team and their 

 performance will be useful. Murdoch, McDonnell, Groube and 

 Palmer were the only four who took part in every one of the thuty- 

 seven matches played ; but. iji addition, Bijyle, Elm-kham and Bon- 

 ner were present ui every eleven a-side iiuitcl,. In tliF latter Mm'- 

 doch headed the batting avei'age with 465 runs for nineteen innings 

 (over 25.15) ; McDonnell was second, with 418 for the same number 

 of innings (over 23.4) ; and Boyle third, of those who played on 



every occasion, with 195 for fifteen innings (over 15). Bannennan, 

 ig to an mjm-ed hand, was unable to take part in several of the 

 later contests, and he only figured in seven first-clasa matches, 

 though his a.verage (17.9) was a very crechtable one. Groube, who 

 had a great home reputation, and who was accredited with on ex- 

 traordinary Colonial average, neither showed style nor effect to 

 warrant any great behef in him, and his sixty-one again.st Y'ork- 

 sMre was his only score of any note. Blackham, toward the close 

 of the toiu-, was also suffering from a bad hand, aud this will to 

 le extent iiceount for the fact that, thongh in all matches ho has 

 averageof 10.83 with eleven a-side, he fi/il.:t,, l:liii runs for 

 ,'en innings. Spofforth's accident luvv, ■ -nice in 



most of the principal engagements ; aud, en h ven a- 



side matches he only bowled 248 overs; t:.;;ii,., , _, .; diets at 



an average of 8.28, while Palmer's eiglity wickets were got at a (»8t 

 of 11.14, and Boyle's thu-ty were for 15.31 runs per wicket. 



The tables appended give the battiLig and bowling averages of the 

 various members of the parties in all matches. Taking into account 

 the immense amount of work that they have done it must be admit- 

 ted that the form shown by tliis second Anstraliau team has been 

 exceedingly creditable. That they were able to boat the strength of 

 England no one believed for a moment, but none the less the bril- 

 iant show they made at the Oval spoke very highly for their pluck, 

 and were Spofforth able to help them they would have made a good 

 fight at least at any time. Every one will be gratified that what 

 threatened to be a i-upturo between EukH.^i and Australian cricket 

 happily averted, and though the 1 ;n rnij 1;; n even yet appar- 

 ently failed to master some of tin;- I .,;! u. - sty for a proper 

 conduct of the game, it must bo crai^'Pileil rli;il tl,c ^'enenil manage- 

 it of this tanp was in every way superior to its predecessor. Oil 

 Oct. 4 they dmed with tlie Lord Jlayor at the .Mansion House and 

 before eight o clock on the following morning they left Loudon for 

 BriudJsi, on then' homeward journey. There is every chance, wo 

 understand, of another visit to England ta 18«2, and slionld some 

 of the weak spots in the present team be filled by the substitution 

 nen hke Evans, of New South Wales ; Massey, Iloran and Gai'- 

 rett, the next lot will be sure to render a good account of them 

 es. By that time, too, perhaps cricket will liave advanced suf- 

 ficiently in the Colonies to permit the collection of an eleven able 

 to play for their expenses only, if there should still exist the disin- 

 clination evinced by those who have already been over here to be 

 regarded as professional cricketers. It is to then- assumption of 

 amatemrism, accompanied with their exceedmg keenness for money- 

 making, that the Colonials owe the feeling that has been evinced 

 against them hi England.

—One of the most remarkably inncciu'ate cricket sketches ever 

 pubUshed appeared recently m the London lUuslrated Keics, The 

 subject was the match between the English and Austrahon crick- 

 eters. The artist was evidently totally iumc<piainted with the 

 game, as tie position of the fielders was absurd. One of the 

 umpires was represented as standmg between the wioUets and al- 

 most all the men had thou- hands in their pockets.
