The Hamilton Cricket Club’s Successful Tour.— 
The week ending August 30th was rendered significant 
in cricket circles by the two brilliant victories achieved 
by the Hamilton (Ontario) pilgrims over the Young Amer¬ 
icas, of Philadelphia, and the Staten Island, of New York. 
The Canadian gentlemen left their home on August 22d 
and reached New York City on the 34th, their first en- 
easement being with the St. Georges. Unfortunately the 
weather was unpropitious. The visitors, however, put in 
an appearance betimes on Monday morning, and the 
match was commenced in the face of an easterly ram 
storm hut early in the afternoon had to be discontinued. 
The wet state of the grounds on the succeeding day 
obliged the two captains to declare the match a draw, 
although greatly in favor of the visitors. By long odds 
the Hamilton team is the strongest club organization that 
has ever honored the Eastern States, for since the visit in 
1808 of the Montreal Military Garrison eleyen, styled the 
“Knickerbockers,” our cousins the Canucks have only 
Bhown up fairly: and their visits, though like those of 
angels, have been but few and far between, i he veteran 
home club was by no means well represented, J. R. Cross. 
Moore, and Conover being absent; the more the pity, as 
occasioning an additional disappointment and damp on 
the match. Moeran, for the St. Georges, threw hfe into 
his innings, which brought out the fine bowling and field¬ 
ing of Ins adversaries. The subjoined score will show

Wednesday, August 27th, and was the occasion of its 
inaugural match. In consequence the early train came 
out from Philadelphia loaded with smiling spectators, 
but whose hollow groans and raising hands later in the 
day would have occasioned Mr. Weller to say, had he 
been present, that “ they ha’ forgotten to take pepper vith 
tbe last 'ere cowcumbers they eat.” For the fact is, that 
the Young Americas have been so long ’■ the cock of the 
walk” that it never entered into the minds of the Phila¬ 
delphia public that the Canadians could prove their mas¬ 
ters, ancl least of all that an almost one-inning defeat 
would stare their favorites in the face. The arrangements 
of the committee were simply perfect, and too high praise 
cannot be awarded them for their kind hospitality to their 
guests and the comfortable accommodations provided for 
the public. The ground was soft and wet, utterly unfit 
for play, but the sun shone out hot and better was hoped 
for later on. Kennedy, the Canadian captain, having won 
the toss, wisely sent the home team to the bat, knowing 
that a wet wicket would favor Feme's fast low deliveries, 
and that as the ground became harder it would be quicker 
to score upon. Surprise number 1 for all was that the 
home team should be out for twenty-eight, which by the 
way is the smallest score they have ever made, Captain 
George Nowhall alone showing any form. (In 1877 they 
were out for thirty-nine, vs. the St. Georges, when Jones 
took eight wickets for twenty-two runs on a hard and 
lively wicket at Hoboken. Astonishment number 2 was 
the wretched fielding of the Young Americas in the Cana¬ 
dian's venture. Catches were missed and then missed 
over again, by the surest hands, until the visitors’ score 
mounted up to seventy-four, A. H. Hope showing by far 
the best work, his twenty-four being obtained by sound' 
cricket. In Siraond’s twenty-two there was a grand one 
to square leg for six. The second inning of the Stento- 
nias did not open baclly for them. They all have the 
credit of being Tyndalls m a small way and playing a good 
up-hill game. With only forty-six behind and a feeling 
that in their next fielding inning they would be better 
Palmisters,” the bell was rung and the curtain rose on 
the play of wonder number 3. Five of Philadelphia's best 
stars were out for twenty when time was called. On 
Thursday the game was resumed, with Large and Dan 
Newhall the two “ not outs” at the hat. The former ran 
up his sccre to fifteen after giving the wicket-keeper three 
chances, and the side was out for fifty. Ray, for Canada, 
obtained the necessary five and the match was over, the 
Hamiltons achieving a -Waterloo by ten wickets. The 
Young Americas, from first to last, played an unusually 
stiff game. It has been suggested that the fear of the 
Canadian wicket-keeper, Waud, had not a little to do 
with their cramped up and pokey style. Ferries wonder¬ 
ful bowling, a treat to see, did, however, a great deal in 
winning the match. And he has procured a record that 
will be quoted for years to come. Score: —

and Sprague, the former’s fine left-hand break backs, 
and the latter’s fast “ grass-tickers,” were too much for 
large scores, and the innings closed for 66, Simonds and 
R. K. Hope, alone, contributing doubles. The innings 
were marked by the excellent judgment of Captain Ste¬ 
vens, and the almost perfect fielding of his team. Sprague 
made a wonderful catch. As to the bowling, the Cana¬ 
dians, one and all, proclaimed it the best they liad met 
with on their tour. With 19 runs to the bad, the home 
team again retook the wickets. Moore commenced a 
splendid innings, and when time was called had placed 19 
on the tins. The day’s play had been witnessed by the 
largest number of spectators ever on the Island grounds, 
among whom was Mr. Bamford of the Peninsulars of 
Detroit, Mr. Cope of the Young Americas of Philadel¬ 
phia, a very large delegation from Newark, N. J., and 
many prominent local and visiting cricketers. A dinner 
at the Pavilion ended the day’s festivities. Saturday 
dawned superbly; and, after a, good sea-bath, the jolly 
visitors again donned tlieir flannels and surrounded the 
two home “not outs” of the evening before. Fortune 
did not smile on those of “The Island of the Sea,” and 
the side was out for 43, Moore’s 22 being more than half. 
With 25 to win, Hamilton sent in Ray and A. H. Hope ; 
Lane quickly got in on the former, and SimondB, who is 
called the best bat in the Dominion, followed. Sprague 
shortly after captured Hope’s stumps and Waud joined 
the champion. These two finished batsman contributed 
the necessary number of runs, and the game was won for 
their side by 8 wickets. Although Sprague’s first eight overs 
were maidens, and Lane was well on the spot, yet both 
the Canadian gentlemen were evidently in to stay, and 
large scores might have been looked for. An excellent 
luncheon again brought both friends and foes together, 
and the popular President of the Hamilton Club (who 
had accompanied the team) and Captain Kennedy both 
expressed, in most kindly terms, their satisfaction with 
their reception and the trip. Mr. Haughton, the Island’s 
tillable standby, made a neat response, and the week's 
cricketing was over. In the evening the Staten Island 
club gave tlieir guests a complimentary hop at tbe Pa¬ 
vilion, and the Monday following saw the team home¬ 
ward bound. A more gentlemanly, fine lot of cricketers 
we never wish to welcome to the States.

Hamilton vs. Staten .Island.—T he Canadians, glow¬ 
ing with victory, were received as the guests of the Pa¬ 
vilion Hotel, S. I., on Thursday evening, and the next 
morning, August 29th, appeared on the picturesque 
grounds facing New York Bay. The team looked as 
fresh as the day itself. Captain Stevens, of the home 
cluh, had all his eleven out, and after winning the toss, 
sent in Moore and Bance to the bowling of Kennedy and 
young Ferrie. Mylie’s 12 was the. only double figure of 
the innings, which total, strange to say, tied with that of 
the St. Georges, namely, 47. Mylie was “the man for 
Galway,” his defence being excellent, and he played in 
rare “ old style” form. He saw six partners wither and 
pass away during his stay of an hour ancQ, quarter. The 
analysis will show the character of the bowling, Ken¬ 
nedy securing 6 wickets for 17 runs. The fielding which 
supported it— par excellence. After luncheon, at the Pa¬ 
vilion, Canada sent in Ray and Hope, opposed to Lane

Daft’s Team of English Profession als.— The follow 
ing is a correct list of Daft’S eleven now in this country 
As great interest is taken by the public in these cricketers, 
we submit, in addition to the list, James Lilly White’s 
opinion of each individual player :— 
Richard Daft (Captain), Nottingham County, forty-four 
years old. For neatness of style, unequalled, with mag¬ 
nificent defence, and a most brilliant field at long-leg and 
mid-off. 
William Barnes, Nottingham, twenty-seven years old. 
Bats in neat style ; at times a, very successful bowler (fast 
round); a good field. 
Frederick Morley, Nottingham, twenty-nine years old, 
bats and bowls Left-hand: is a first-class bowler— proba¬ 
bly tlie best fast bowler in England. 
W. Oscroft, Nottingham, thirty-six years old, a good 
bat—especially against fast bowling ; a very sure field ; a 
good bowler (right fast), and one of the best leg hitters 
m England. 
John Selby, Nottingham, thirty years old, a splen¬ 
did bat, especially against fast bowling, and an excellent 
field. 
Alfred Shaw. Nottingham, thirty-seven years old, a 
very effective medium place bowler; ne.ver off the wicket, 
and varies his pitch well : a good field, especialiyat short 
slip. 
Authur Shrewsbury, Nottingham, twenty-three years 
old. In the very first rank of professional cricketers, a 
sound and steady bat, and sure and smart fielder. 
Thomas Emmett, Yorkshire, thirty-eight years old. A 
fast left-hand round arm bowler, and was until last season 
as (fast as any in England, when he reduced his pace.
