Of the skins used in America the greatest number are 
from American animals, though the seal skins from 
Alaska, like those which are taken at Shetland, at the 
Cape of Good Hope, at Cape Horn, and at Lobos Island, 
near Montevideo, go first to England to be dyed. There 
are American dyers of seal-skins, who drive a large and 
flourishing trade ; but they have never been aide to dye 
these skins us well as the London dyers do, 
The skins of sea-otters, brook otters and beavers are dyed 
as well hc-re as abroad ; but most of the dyers are English 
or Irish. As for dressing skins of all kinds, that is admira¬ 
bly done ill New York ; indeed it is skilfully done by the 
Indians of the plains and the northwestern mountains. 
The manufacture of furs into robes and garments is no¬ 
where so well accomplished as in New York, although in 
this task, again, foreign workmen and women are exten¬ 
sively employed. The testimony of the proprietors of 
large establishments is that Frenchmen and Germans 
make the best furriers. American cutters, they say, 
‘'haven't the knack of matching and workmanship." 
The most splendid and costly furs are Russian sable, 
sea-otter and black and silver fox. The Russian sable is 
the finest of all the martens, and, since it is not very 
prolific, its skins are costly. The best and darkest are ob¬ 
tained in Yakootsk, ICarntsehatka, and Russian Lapland. 
The fur varies from a rich brown to a deep jet-black, with 
points of hair tipped with white. This constitutes its pe¬ 
culiar beauty, hut it lias also the peculiarity of being fixed 
in the skin, so that it will turn with equal freedom in all 
directions, and lie smoothly wherever pressed. The best 
sables are alVnost monopolized by tho imperial family 
and nobility of Russia, and only a few find their way into 
other countries. Some, privately procured in Siberia by 
Jewish traders, are brought annually to the Leipsic fail'. 
A muff of “crown Russian sable” is now worth in New 
York from $ 1,100 down to $300. Sets (by which is meant a 
muff and boa) of sables not of the very highest quality 
cost $500 to $550. Sets of sea-otter are valued at $150 to 
$350, and sets of black and silver fox at $150 to $350. These 
high-priced furs are bought only by the rich, and are not 
generally fashionable. 
The delicate and silken far of that little animal, the 
chinchilla, which burrows in the valleys which intersect 
the hill y slopes of the Andean region from Chilli to Peru, 
is long, of a dear gray color upon the back, softening to 
a grayish white beneath. It is used for muffs, tippets, 
lining to cloaks and pelisses, and trimmings, and is most 
becoming to young ladies and girls, A chinchilla muff 
and boa cost from $50 to $60. Ermine has no longer a 
considerable market here. For street wear it has been 
entirely given up except for children. All mink furs taken 
in the right season, are durable, but they quickly fade. 
New York and Canada minks are the darkest, and best, 
and sets of these which once were sold for $135 to $150, 
can now be bought for $100. The fur of the skunk, de¬ 
scribed by the trade as the Alaska sable and suddenly 
popularized a few years ago, is still in fashion. When it 
was first introduced even its vile smell could not repulse 
its admirers, and now that a process has been discovered 
for completely deodorizing it, it will continue to sell be¬ 
cause of its glossy beauty and its cheapness. English- 
dyed furs of the American lynx are equally liked. They 
are black and handsome, but frail. A single season 
will finish a set of them, which like a best set of Alaska 
sable is cheap at $20 to $35. 
Seal s kin has been said to have lost its hold upon the 
American market. Tins is not true. No other fur can 
take its place for cloaks and coats and ladies’ jackets. 
Even sea otter, which, dyed in London, is much hand¬ 
somer than seal for muffs and boas, is too cumbersome for 
saeques. In fact seal skin is in great demand this fall for 
sacques—in greater demand than ever for large and expen¬ 
sive ones. They are made large and longer, and in more 
graceful shape than heretofore, and though most of them 
are plain, some of them are splendidly trimmed with bands 
of the fur of the black and silver fox, sea otter, brook ot¬ 
ter and beaver. They have become comparatively cheap. 
The most beautiful sacques (though perhaps not the most 
durable), made of “ pup Sketlands ” skins, sell for $300. 
The best Alaska sacques bring $125 to $350. Seal sacques 
American dyed can be bought for $80, $90 and $100 
They look well for a time, but the largest New York 
houses decline to invest in them because they will not 
last. Seal sets of the first quality (muffs and tippets) are 
offered by the Gunthers at $50 and $60. If ftp: ware¬ 
houses'were not already stocked with seal skins, these 
prices would be raised in view of the. diminution of Hie 
production. Tile ruthless murder of seals in Shetland has 
almost depopulated their abodes, and the decimation of 
seals, both young and old, which is going on in Alaska 
must shortly arrest the propagation there. The numbers 
of Heals which are found in other localities specified near 
the commencement of this article are relatively small. 
One of the most comfortable and luxurious uses to which 
furs are put is the lining of warm winter Bilken wraps. 
Quantities of furs are used for trimmings. 
At any of the great fur-houses, and especially at the 
houses of C. G. Gunther & Co., ID Union square, and C. 
G. Gunther’s Sons, 184 Fifth avenue, one’s eye may look 
upon a very embarrassment of riches in robes of fur. 
Mink not Amphibious.— It was, indeed, a remarkable 
statement of your correspondent, noted in last Forest 
and Stream, that he had kept a mink under water for 
ten consecutive hours without drowning it. There can 
he no question hut that that mink was strictly amphibi¬ 
ous, but any old trapper will tell you that ten minutes is 
more than most of ’em can stand. Our trappers say that 
a mink caught in a box trap and held under water a few 
minutes is about ready to skin. S. N. C. 
Trapping in Pennsylvania.— Dugdale, Chester Co., 
Oct. HOth .—Trapping has about begun in this vicinity for 
skunks, and bids fair to exceed last season’s catch, though 
,1 think that priceB will not reach last year’s figures.

THE GAME OF CRICKET. 
Departure of the Foreign Teams, Etc.— Richard 
Daft and his team of English professional cricketers sailed 
for home in the City of Richmond, of the, Inman Line, on 
Saturday afternoon, Oct. 35th. The Gentlemen of Ireland 
team and a large number of their friends also sailed for 
home fr om this port on Oct. 29th in the Cunard Line’s 
Bteamer Scythia. It is reported in Philadelphia that Al¬ 
fred Shaw, the great Nottinghamshire bowler, lias been 
engaged by the Chestnut Hill Club for the season of ’81. 
Capt. Daft has engaged to send out new professionals for 
several of the Philadelphia and New York organizations. 
G. Lane, professional of the Staten Island Cricket Club, 
sailed in the Celtic, of the White Star Line, on Oct. 30th. 
Daft’s English Tf.am vs. Merion Twenty-two.— The 
gentlemen of the Merion Club, of Ardmore, Pa., were not 
fortunate in regard to weather in their two-day match 
ag ains t the English cricketers on Oct. 21st and 22d. The 
game began in threatening weather and ended in quite 
a heavy rain storm on the second day ; this interruption 
caused the match to he a draw, although it was virtually 
a one-inning victory for the foreigners. The continued 
drought had made the wicket, which is usually a good 
one, very fiery and humpy. In spite of this, however, 
Eph. Lockwood made a most brilliant essay at the bat, 
which contributed the fine score of 88 , while he saw out 
no less than seven of his compatriots. The bowling of 
Braithwaite, the home club's professional, Is said to have 
been excellent; it was effective, as is shown by the howl¬ 
ing analysis. Shaw, the Nottingham bowler, again per¬ 
formed wonderfully, particularly in the second inning, 
and three of the home club contributed double figures. 
Stroud, 16; Fox, 10 and 13; and R. Williams, 10. An¬ 
nexed is the full score :—
