CHARLESTON. 
— Lord Dunmore is a hardy, brave yachtsman, Last 
month, off the Uist coast, he went out on a dark night, 
during a terrible slorni, in his cutter-rigged fishing boat 
of about six- tons, called the Dauntless. Three Scotch 
sailors were with him. After beating five hours with 
close-reefed topsail, they rescued the passengers and crew 
of the yacht Astarte, belonging to Mr. R. A. Napier, of 
Glasgow, who wore wrecked on a small rocky island, 
eleven miles from the coast. Lord Duiunove first took 
three women and two children safely to the coast, and 
resoued the remander. No other boat would venture out 
in the storm. 
The Sharpie in North Carolina. — Mr. George N. 
Ives, formerly of New Haven, Conn., now hi the whole¬ 
sale fish business, at Beaufort, N. C., introduced the first 
sharpie into North Carolina waters about five years ago. 
Now there are over five hundred of these boats- in that 
State. 
Knickerbocker Yacht Club. —The Knickerbocker 
Yacht Club boys passed a very pleasant day at their club 
house at Port Morris oil Thanksgiving Day. The pro¬ 
gramme consisted of pigeon and glass ball matches. The 
first event was a glass ball match for the club medal, and 
was won by D. F. Cauglilan with a score of 13 out of 15. 
The other scores were : W. Potter, jr., 11 ; T. N. Jacques, 
10 ; A. Steinke, 9 ; A. A. French, 9 ; J. R. Cole, 8 ; £'. B. 
Chedsey, 7 ; C. Baker, 7 ; T. T. Nixon, G : A. E. Miller, 5 ; 
IV. A. Stewart, 1. Some of these men had never shot at 
glass balls before. 
The nest event was a sweepstakes pigeon match ; five 
birds each ; 21 yards rise. This match was won by W. A. 
Stewart with five straight birds. T. N. Jacques, A. A. 
French, W. Potter, jr., A. Steinke and J. R. Cole killed 
four each, and divided second money. The remaining 
scores were : F. B. Chedsey and T. T. Nixon, 3 each; A. 
E. Miller and C. Baker, 1 each, and D. F. Caughlan, 0. 
The winner of each of these matches was last man in the

THE GAME OF CRICKET. 
THE VISIT OF THE GENTLEMEN OF IRELAND, 
SUMMARY OF MATCHES—BATTING AND BOWLING 
AVERAGES. 
The party above mentioned left Ireland at the end of 
August, aiid arrived in New York on Sept. 9th, where, 
three days later the opening match of the proposed series 
was entered upon. The team was headed by Sir George 
Coithurst, of Blarney Castle; captained by Mr. Nathaniel 
Hone, of Dublin; while the business affairs of the tourists 
were in charge of Mr. Charles Barrington (brother of the 
Lord-Mayor of Dublin), or as he facetiously put it, “ lie 
accompanied the team as guide, philosopher and friend. ' 
The majority of the players were graduates of Trinity 
College, - Dublin, and members of the celebrated Phoenix 
and Stoics clubs. The team was also provided with an 
umpire, in the person of Rylott, one of tbe Marylebone 
Club’s best ground men. Thus equipped they started on 
their triumphant march, commencing at the metropolis 
journeying to Syracuse, then back to New York and 
Philadelphia, and afterwards through Canada, where they 
played four matches ; beginning at Toronto and ending 
at Cobourg. Entering the United States agam at De¬ 
troit they finished their series of games at that place. 
After a day’s sojourn in New York, they returned home, 
Oct. 29th, on the Scythia, Cunard Line. 
We are informed that they were warmly welcomed 
everywhere, and with hut one exception their visit was 
a pleasant one. Of this exception we now intend to speak. 
Up to this time we have purposely refrained from allud¬ 
ing to what we, from the first, considered the very dis¬ 
courteous treatment of the Irish gentlemen by the Young 
America Club, believing that an untimely interference 
would only fan the flame of discord, while there was 
still a chance of oil being thrown on the troubled waters, 
and also believing that it might do harm to the game, 
which is yet in its infancy in this country. But since 
these gentlemen, our guests, have been allowed to return 
to their homes with feelings of dissatisfaction at their 
usage—and no one hand has been publicly raised to pro¬ 
tect them in a country in which they were strangers, 
although there have been reports published as untrue as 
they were uncalled for, we deem it but just, as a, chron¬ 
icler of the noble game, to state most emphatically that 
in our opinion the Young America Captain acted in an 
injudicious manner, and that Mr. Hone very properly re¬ 
fused to play the match with the Young America Club. 
Of the charges which were brought against Rylott for in¬ 
fringing Law 42 nothing lias been proven, nor is the 
source from which it emanated in any degree worthy ot 
C1 Had there been anything in it, we are sure Mr. Hone 
would have gone to the bottom of the matter, and it it 
was to he used at all against Rylott, why was not the 
charge made openly as the ground for the objection? 
For it would have been a valid ground and would have 
given the Young America Club the strong side of the case, 
which they certainly have not won. 
Whether or not Rylott is fitted to fill the responsible 
Position, is a horse of another color. His record at home 
las been a good one, and this is well known by those who 
li ve outside the pales of local cricket. If Rylott’s decision 
in the Philadelphia match was known to be unfair, lie 
should have been objected to and removed at the time of 
its occurrence, not opposed several days afterwards. 
The not doing so points to the evil of the gate-money 
system, for where there are a large number of spectators 
who do not understand cricket it seems to be the custom 
to consider their feelings and see that they get their 
“ money’s worth,” rather than carry out the true spirit 
of the game. 
We have received recently a large number of letters 
on this subject, and we know that the above is in accord¬ 
ance with the views of a very large majority of cricket¬ 
ers in the United States. Although every section of the 
country has had a word to say, yet we are gratified to 
record, that in no one place is tins unfortunate occurrence 
more regretted and more severely condemned than in 
Philadelphia itself. We sincerely trust that the future 
will be free from difficulties of this kind, which only tend 
to injure the rise and progress of American cricket. 
Before the Irish team left the oountry it was fully ex¬ 
pected that it would play a match with the English 
eleven. Captain Hone had written to Captain Daft in 
England, before either team started on its trip; that he 
desired to meet the professional eleven in America. 
Never before was a match more anxiously looked for than 
was this one ; this desire was not" confined to cricketers 
alone, but was shared by tbe whole sight-seeing public. 
The Philadelphia trouble precluded the Irish team from 
returning to that city, where Captain Daft wished the 
match to take place, and it was not until after much cor¬ 
respondence between the heads of the two elevens, that it 
was at last agreed to play the match in New York, the 
Staten Island Club having offered their grounds for that 
purpose. The following telegrams received by Captain 
Daft tell tbe story why tne match did not come off:— 
Niaoaka Falls, Oct. Itli , 1879. 
Richard Daft, A*eie Brighton, S. 1.:— 
Can play vou at Staten Island, 21st and 22d; can only play one 
match, and not earlier. Nathaniel Hose. 
Three days later this one came to' hand :— 
Toronto, Ont., Oet.Mh, 1879, 
Richard Daft, Phtladelvhia 
Cannot play on dates lixed; have previous engagements here; 
can play on 25th and 27th. Nathaniel Hone. 
As the English team had engaged passage for home on 
Oct. 25th, the foreigners did not meet in this country. 
This was a great disappointment to the many who had 
counted upon this match to see the Irish and English 
cricketers. 
In all, thirteen matches were played by the Irishmen, 
,.i which they won ten, lost one, and had two drawn. 
We thus briefly recapitulate the tour, as the official scores 
of all the games have appeared in due course, in the 
cricket columns of the Forest and Stream, and from 
which the appended summary of matches and the aver¬ 
ages, both batting and bowling, have been carefully com¬ 
piled, after first comparingthem with the Irish score-book:
