LOG OP THE WAVE. 
OCEAN MATCH, S. Y. C., CENTER CUP, 
Entered :— Mischief, 68 ft. long ; Regina, 58 ft.; Wave, 
41 ft. 10 in.; Blanche, 41 ft. 
Wave crossed line Sandy Hook Lightship, 11.15 A. M., 
Mischief and Regina leading, Blanche some minutes be¬ 
hind, ran close in shore in hopes of getting land breeze, 
closed up with the Regina and Mischief; very light wind, 
which fanned us. Later the Regina and Mischief left us 
far behind. 
Wind baffling and light all night. Friday 17tli, wind 
light and ahead. 4 o’clock p. m., made out the Blanche 
astern about seven miles off, coming up with a favoring 
wind, more to the South. About same time made out 
the Regina. Wave went about to intercept the wind and 
meet it about half mile to leaward of the Blanche, then 
went about and gradually worked across the course of the 
Blanche heading for Cape May Lightship. We were then 
off Abseeom. At sunset the Blanche was hull down to 
leeward and astern. The wind was freshing all this time 
till we reached the lightship, when it blew very bard. We 
rounded at 7.50 P. si. At this time the smoky liaze had 
somewhat lifted which earlier had annoyed us Jn sighting 
the light, although Capt. Greenwood had made no mis 
take in his bearings. In compliance with the regulation " 
we burned within a half mile of the light a Seawanhaka 9 
Club Signal (Costan light) and as we turned the letter 1 ‘ W,’’ 
hailing and getting the time of the Mischief and Regina. 
The Wave carried her full jib and mainsail and topsail, 
and at no time did we carry less; we did not set our 
storm jib. 
About midnight, Capt. Greenwood was at the wheel, and 
reported seeing a light burned by a sloop which resembled 
the Blanche, but he was not sure, and did know what the 
signal meant. 
During Friday night the sea was very heavy, but it did 
not break over the Wave, she proving herself, consider¬ 
ing her dimensions, an excellent sea boat. About 0 a.m. 
Saturday morning, in attempting to carry boomed out 
our large jib-topsail, the light spar used for the purpose 
was snapped ; with that exception we broke nothing, nor 
did we carry away anything. 
The Wave rounded Sandy Hook lightship Saturday, 10 
o’clock A.M., hailing the ship and getting the time of the 
Mischief and Regina, and requesting them to take the 
time of the Wave. 
With a regular time allowance the Regina would have 
been beaten by the Wave and, we believe, the Mischief 
also, but we have not all her measurements. The Blanche 
came in later, after not having rounded either the Cape 
May or Sandy Hook lightships. 
We arrived at Court street, Brooklyn, the other yachts 
rendezvousing at Staten Island, about noon. Being de¬ 
sirous of getting back to his family at Tarrytown the 
owner of the Wave took the first train up the river. Mr. 
Williams, the only one who accompanied him during the 
race outside of the crew, sent notice of her arrival to the 
Herald office, which news was neglected or overlooked, 
Mr, Williams then took an early train to Princeton ; hence 
the wild rumors published in the papers which have not 
yet been properly contradicted, and which it is hoped this 
account will finally set at rest. 
A Handsome Barge.— Mr, Geo. Roahre, of Harlem, has 
recently finished for Philadelphia parties a very fine six 
oared barge, which promises to be a fast boat, and pull¬ 
ing strictly from the gunwale, cannot be ruled out from 
tile Schuylkill races. The boat has a smooth bottom, be¬ 
ing built of cedar with flush seams, only three lengths of 
veneer being used from stem to stern ; the framing is of 
oak, and gunwales and trimmings of white pine. Her 
model is handsome, and owing to aflat floor amidships she 
will draw little water and make a very steady ship. She 
is 41 feet long, extreme beam 3 feet, 104 inches across gun¬ 
wale; depth aft 13 inches, amidships 124 and 134 forward. 
Pulls six oars with coxswain and will be a valuable addi¬ 
tion to the navy on the Schuylkill.

Rational pastimes, 
THE GAME OF CRICKET. 
Daft’s English Eleven vs. Philadelphia Fifteen.— 
This grand international contest was commenced on the 
-Germantown Cricket Club grounds, at Nicetown, Pliila., 
on Friday, Oct, 10th, just twenty years to a day after the 
first international match played by George Parr’s English 
professional eleven at Camac’s Woods, Philadelphia, in 
1859. It was continued on Saturday, and finished on Mon¬ 
day the 11th inst. Taking the match, all in all, in the 
opinion of the writer of this report, who, by the way, has 
witnessed every international game of importance ever 
played in the East, it was the most perfect exhibition of 
cricket ever seen in America. Although “ Old Prob ” pre¬ 
dicted rain in the morning papers of each day’s play, the 
weather was fine throughout, and visitors from, all parts of 
the country were hospitably entertained at the club house 
during the progress of the match; Boston, New York 
and other cricket centers sending large delegations. It 
was really startling to peer under the hats of the crowd, 
that framed the ground, and recognize the many faces of 
old players, whose names were familiar to the cricketing 
public of twenty years ago. It was a grand meeting of the 
clans, and many an old chap elbowed his way out of the 
dense throng and lost his seat for the day, to slap some 
old crony on the back, and over a glass of' beer to talk of 
liow they used, in the days gone by, to bowl each other 
out. There were so many present who seemed to have 
walked out of some old cricket picture, that in spite of 
yearly experience, we were fain to make the comparison 
of the cricketer of over tw enty years ago and the one of 
to-day. 
To those who remember the tinted engraving of Wil¬ 
liam Lilly white, as he appeared at Lord’s Grounds, on 
July 25, “ 1853,” with a huge high hat, and his spacious 
waist encircled by a girth, which would have enabled a 
draught horse to breathe at pleasure, it will be easy to de¬ 
pict the typical cricketer of the past, now changed is 
the one of to-day ; for the game is now courted both in 
England and America by much younger men, tlie best of 
whom are trimly built and well ribbed up, and much 
better fitted to play the old game in its new way. Who. 
ever saw any cricketer of the last decade field with such 
quickness and accuracy, as both Ulyett and Selby did in 
this match ; was it not the perfection of the improved 
present day cricket ? See with what skill, the fast high 
deliveries had to be played as they bumped up from the 
very fiery and dusty wicket. No old slow coach could 
paddle away at them and not be caught. It required the 
quick and supple wrist of youth to meet them full, and 
keep them down, and even this did not always prevail; 
for it turned out as Capt. Daft predicted, before a ball was 
bowled in the match, that his men would give chances 
from time to time, and the six catches made by the ever- 
alert Van Renssellaer, behind the wicket, proved that his 
prophecy was right. 
This match was an illustration of the very great im¬ 
provement in the game as played at this time,‘and of the 
great stride which has been taken by its American expon¬ 
ents. To make a comparison of the past and present, the 
figures of scores of twenty years ago have but little to do 
with it. The Philadelphia boys played the game well, 
and it is the excellent style of the young cricketers, like 
Thayer, that demonstrates the advancement, and points 
to what we may expect to see in the future. This, aided 
with proper professional tuition, shows that it would 
not take the half of another score of years to produce 
an eleven that would hold its own against the best of 
comers. 
THE GAME. 
Capt. George Newliall having won the toss, elected to 
take the field, and at 12.15 n.M. Capt. Daft sent in Ulyett 
and Oscrott, to the bowling of C. Newliall (fast round)‘and 
D. Newliall (slow round). C. Newliall opened from the 
lower end, and his first ball went spinning to the ropes off 
Ulyett’sbat—a very fine drive for 4. D. Newhall's first 
over was badly punished for 5 runs. Then both batsmen 
settled down to steady play, and continued to score off 
each bowler, until the tins showed 20 up, when Ulyett was 
well caught at slip by Van Renssallear, off the fast bowler 
for 8, — 20—1—8. Shrewsbury joinedfOscroft, and after one 
had been added to the score, the new man on one of the- 
finest late cuts ever Witnessed on the Germantown, 
grounds, was badly run out by his partner—21—3—1. Sel¬ 
by joined Oscroft, and by steady play the score crept up to 
34, when C. Newliall got in on Selby’9 off stick—34—3—8, 
Capt, Daft filled the vacancy, and on his way to the wick*
