model. These "ordinance notes" ei mini i a great deal or valu- 

 able information, of which the above is a short synopsis, and 

 their full publication would be duly appreciated by sportsmen. I 

 have never seen them in print until recently. It appears that 

 ■with service charge (70,405 grs.), increasing the length of bore 

 from 82.fl inches to 112 inches. Increases the initial velocity 31fi feet 

 per second. With 120 grs. powder, and 405 grs. lend, increasing 

 the length of bore similarly, increases the velocity 107 feet. 



In the light or these facts the question is naturally suggested. 

 Whether, If a .45 caliber, 33.6 inch barrel, is not of sufficient length 

 to utilize fully the gases from 70 grs. uowder, can it bo expected 

 that a SO inch, 24 Inch, 26 inch and 28 inch barrel will fully con- 

 sume from 40to 70 and 110 grs., such lengths having, been adopted 

 in some eases by most of the prominent, rifle factories.? Would 

 It not be better to proportionately lighten the barrels and 

 lengthen them to 30 or 32 inches, without adding to weight, 

 therehj Insuring a better balanced arm, and capable of giving 

 greater velocity ? It is understood that " musket '' powder was 

 used in the above experiments, which is understood to be a little 

 coarser, slower tmrning and of a little less strength than the 

 standard F. G. ride powder of American manufacture, but there 

 i'b uot sufficient difference in strong-! h to affect the results. 



In conclusion, I fear that friendly shoot with Mr. H. W, C. 

 cannot soon take place, unless he joins me in a contemplated ex- 

 cursion during the fall among^ the big horn, elk, etc. I promise 

 him royal sport, and in the meantime we may be able to unravel 

 some of the mysteries of ' twist " and other rifle anomalies. He 

 shall also be introduced to a few grizzlies, and during the inter- 

 view I will see that his flanks and rear are well protected. P.

The Canadian Cricketers.— The tour of the team called "Ca- 

 nadian eleven," unsuccessful from the first, has terminated. All 

 future fixtures have been abandoned, and Hail, Smith and Gillean 

 sailed from Liverpool for Quebec and home two weeks ago, and 

 the remainder of the team followed last. week. 



—We call the attention of al 1 cricketers to the notice of Shaw 

 & Shrewsbury, in another column. 



—The Marion second played the Unions, of Kingston, Philadel- 

 phia, on the 24th inst. at Ardmore. Morion, first innings, 104, 

 second, 114, five wickets. Union, first innings, 68. 



— The Germantown and Girard second elevens played at Nice- 

 town on the 24th inst. Girard, 06 and 51 ; Germantown, 87. 



The States Island Club's Touh.— On Saturday, July 17th, a 

 jolly party of cricketers belonging to the Staton Island Cricket 

 Club left this city for Detroit, Mich., where they arrived in time, 

 on Monday, to commence their game with the Peninsulars, of that 

 city. They were kindly received by the cricketers there, and after 

 two days' play left a ball behind them. Smith, the new profes- 

 sional of the Peninsular Cricket Club, just sent over by Alfred 

 Shaw, from Nottingham, England, proved a terror. He is a young 

 man of medium stature, and like moat English professionals is 

 quiet and reserved in hearing. His style is said to resemble that 

 of the Australian "demon," although not so fast. This was his 

 flrstgame with the Peninsulurs. From Detroit to Toronto occu- 

 pied the night of Tuesday, and upon reaching there several of the 

 team. looked as if tbey had been entered in a " go-as-you-please," 

 and then play certainly proved it. The lion received them with 

 open arms, and treated them right royally. The grounds of the 

 Toronto Cricket Club are famous for good wickets, and the 

 match, although one sided, was full of merit and fine cricket. 

 Wednesday evening saw the match brought to a close, and on 

 Thursday a return was commenced and drawn . Friday, Hamilton 

 was visited, and there their old foes of last year were on hand 

 duplicate their victory of lastseason at Slaten Island. Aglance at 

 tho records of this match shows that the Islanders topped last 

 year's innings, 47 and 43, by 49 and 75. Unfortunately, Mr. Waud 

 was absent, but Mr. Simonds had come from Kansas City. After 

 leaving another ball, No. 3, the tourists left for hoi 

 on Saturday, via Niagara Falls. They reached home safe and 

 sound, on Monday, with enough stories of their trip to keep the 

 mouths of the junior members open for weeks to come. It is 

 hut fair to say the eleven was a weak one, both Harvey and Miley 

 being stay-at-homes. The following are the full scores of the 

 matches, winding up with a batting average table of the trip :— 



Staten Island vs. Peninsulars.— First match. Played at the 

 .Recreation Park, Detroit, Mich., on July 10th and 20lh , resulting 

 the defeat of the tourists by an innings and 25 runs. The condi- 

 tion of the ground, owing to the heavy rains, was unfavorable to 

 the Staten Islanders, as they went first to the bat. Score :—

I [Toronto i's. Staten Island —Second match. Played at Te- 

 en in .Inly 21st, and resulted in the visitors' defeat by an Innings 

 and 03 runs. The wicket upon which this match was played is 

 probably the best in Amorica. The eleven of the home club was 

 tho best it ever hrought on the field, it being stronger than that 

 pitted against the Young Americas a few weeks ago. Among the 

 recruits were Browning, of Montreal, the hero of the largest, score 

 in America; E. B. Ogden, of Chicago, and Logan, of Fenelon 

 Falls, the latter probably the best bowler in the Dominion. The 

 feature of the match was Behan's score of 71, procured by mas- 

 terly defense, combined with free and vigorous hitting. It. con- 

 tained ono 4, seven 3s, fifteen 2s, and singles. He was finally 

 caught, splendidly by Filmor at deep long oil off Lane, who 

 bowled superbly throughout. Score:—

Young America vs. Pout Hope.— Tho Y'oung America Gin tool? 

 Philadelphia held the first match of their Canadian four al, Hurt 

 the 5th and 0th of July. The Port Hope j 



atedat Penryn Park, the 

 so far as the natural su 

 pretty aground as ther 

 very good one, and the 

 the wicket first and wei 

 have made more, but as 



of Col. Williams, M. P., mid 

 ndings are concerned is, perhaps, asi 

 ,n the Continent. The wicket was a 

 ieldingfair. The home club went to. 

 in disposed of for 37, They ought tO> 

 generally the ease when a young clulv 



meets one of more celebrity, the former batsmen 

 nervous and unable to show what they are worth. Hayden saw 

 six wickets fall, and played a barndoor innings for 10. H. Hall! 

 got 20 in the best form shown by any of the Canadians. The bowl- 

 ing and fielding of the visitors wore both raagnitieeut. The analy- 

 sis of C. A. Newhall's bowling will speak for itself. Van Ucna- 

 saeler's combination of wicket-keeping and lona'-stopping was 

 llrst-elass, the best ever soen on the grounds. The Young Ameri- 

 cas got 105 in tbeir inuings, owing chiefly to the stubborn de- 

 fense and Hue play of Dan Newhall, for 37. Bussier played a 

 lucky innings for 11. It. Newhall got 14 by hard bitting, and Cald- 

 well 17 by perhaps the prettiest play of the day. The bowling of 

 Logan aud Keid was very good, the visiting team pronouncing it 

 asgoodasany amateur American bowling they had ever played 

 against. The fielding was <|iiiic up to ilio mark, that of Jones (a 

 boy from Trinity College school! at cover point, und Wud-jworth.
