Umpires—Messrs. James Smith andR. B. Grant. 
Thursday found the United in Philadelphia, “wearied 
with service.” Little need be said of, the play. The Uni¬ 
ted never expected to vanquish the Young America, but 
they did hope to make a fight stout enough to compel an 
exhibition of their skill by the champions. Alas, great 
Hector wearied fell an easy victim to Achilles. Not only 
were the United in bad condition, but luck seemed to desert 
them. In the first inning Sliarpe stupidly misjudged a 
run, and so displaced Richardson, the pride of the eleven, 
who was well in, and in the second inning Richardson 
had the misfortune to touch a ball with the shoulder of his 
bat which was taken advantage of by Davis. Mordaunt 
was not in a happy vein, and runs were made off him very 
fast so that the captain was compelled to put Sharpe on. 
Temple and Dale alone distinguished themselves, the for¬ 
mer slashing Charley Newliall everywhere, until he was 
unluckily run out. The bowling of the Young Americas 
was not as good as the United expected to meet; their field- 
in 0 ’, of course, was fine:—

On Saturday night the United left Philadelphia for home, 
where they were received with loud welcome by their 
friends, and banqueted d la mode . Thus ended the tour of 
the St. Louis United eleven, the first team that has on this 
continent come up to the cricketer’s ideal. They sent un¬ 
conditional challenges, followed them up, and asked no 
favors. 
In my , next I shall give a brief review of the condition 
of cricket in America, as it appeared last September.

“WANDERERS.” 
. -- » 
New York, February 27, 1874. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
It is with great pleasure I notice a letter from “Harry E. S.,” suggest¬ 
ing the formation of a club of “Wanderers” similar to the “IZingari” 
of England, and to consist exclusively of gentlemen strictly amateurs. 
I think such a club would gain many members in our city. It is very 
evident that he knows how difficult it is to get a full eleven to leave 
home. The St. Georges every year take an eleven to Philadelphia, and 
last year they visited Boston, each member of course paying his own ex¬ 
penses. They were the only club which was able to do so in this city. 
In Philadelphia, where cricket was supposed to flourish and to be so 
well supported, they could only send one club on here for one day, so 
that we in the East can confirin “Harry E. S.” In every particular. The 
great obstacle to getting members to join such a club is the expense and 
time taken up in travelling. One would have to be a gentleman of’ leis¬ 
ure indeed to go “wandering” around these United States. However, if a 
few were to get together and form a club, it would not take many from 
each city or district to make up an eleven, and I am sure that some of 
our cricketers, by making their arrangements, could afford time to go 
off on a tour of this kind. 
“H. E. S.” suggests that some one in our city should undertake the 
formation of such a club. I have no doubt that some of them embers oj 
the St7~George of thiscity would help hinTand would join the club, but 
they have too much to do—at least the secretary and officers have to take 
a very prominent part in organizing a club. However, there are some 
two months yet to discuss the matter, and the more it is ventilated by 
the press, the more it will help our noble game. I am, yours very truly, 
“Percy,” St. George’s C. C., New York. 
We shall he pleased to hear from cricketers on this sub¬ 
ject. 
BASE BALL-AMERICA vs. ENGLAND. 
—The following interesting letter is addressed to Charles 
Vinten, Esq., Treasurer of the St. George’s Cricket Club, by 
Harry Wright, the celebrated cricketer and base ball player: 
Boston, February 28, 1874. 
Charles Yinten, Esq.: 
Dear Sir—I take pleasure in informing you that the proposed trip of 
the Boston and Athletic Base Ball Clubs to England this summer bids 
fair to be. a decided success. The project has received the heartiest en¬ 
couragement, with promises of co-operation from all parties with whom 
Mr. Spalding has advised on the subject in London. 
Our present intention is to start on or about July 18th, playing the first 
game on “Lord’s Ground,” London, August 3d and 4th. 
We expect to he away from America in all about seven weeks. I beg 
to thank you and Mr. Gibbs and Mr. Bowman, of the St, George’s 
Cricket Club, for the favors shown me in assisting and furnishing Mr. 
Spalding with letters of introduction to gentlemen in London, which I 
hear have been of great service to him. Mr. Fitzgerald has proffered us 
the use of “Lord’s Ground” for our first game at hut light expense,which 
wall help materially in paying the expenses of the trip. In regard to Mr v 
Shaw of Nottingham, it is the Boston Cricket Club that is, or who are, 
negotiating for his engagement as professional for their club. 
If possible, I shall be pleased' to arrange with the St. George’s for 
games at Cricket, both in Boston and on your ground, with our eleven. 
We must learn something more about cricket before starting on our trip, 
on which occasion 1 trust to have the pleasure of your company. 
I am. sir, very respectfully, Harry Wright. 
Philadelphia , February 29,1874. 
Editor Forest and Stream;— 
A letter from Mr. Spalding, of the Boston Base Ball Club, now in Eng¬ 
land, making arrangements for the European trip of the Athletic-and 
Boston Base Ball Clubs, dated February 5, contains the most encouraging 
accounts of the success of his mission. He had interviewed Mr. Alcock, 
the cricket editor of the London Sportsman, and secretary of the famous 
Surrey Club, and also Mr. Chambers, the secretary of the noted Athletic 
Club; and these gentlemen have taken matters in hand to make the com¬ 
ing tour a brilliant success. They have proposed tint matches'shall be 
played on the cricket grounds at Canterbury, Brighton, Margate, Bir¬ 
mingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Edin¬ 
burgh, Glasgow, Bristol, and Liverpool, at all of which cities the Ameri¬ 
cans would certainly meet with a cordial reception. In fact they advise 
a tour of the three sections of Great Britain finishing at Dublin. Mr. 
Fitzgerald, the Secretary of the Marylebone Club, (not Fitzitem of Phila¬ 
delphia,) received Mr. Spalding most courteously, and expressed the 
anxiety the English cricketers feel to have an opportunity to return the 
kind attentions and the cordial reception they met with in America. He 
was desirous to have the first game played on Lord’s Ground, London. 
We believe that August 3, which is a bank holiday, has been fixed for the 
first grand match at American Base Ball ever played in England. It was 
stated that on the occasion of the appearance of the native Australian 
team of cricketers at the Oval, in London, the receipts at one shilling ad¬ 
mittance amounted to £655, or $3,275. At latest dates Mr. Spalding was 
arranging the days for matches to be played, as the dates were now r being 
fixed for the season. So his visit was most timely made, and it has been 
in every respect successful. The Athletic team will consist of McBride, 
Pitcher; Clapp, Catcher; Fesler, 1st. Base; Battin, 2d Base; McGeary, 
Short Stop; Sutton, 3d Base; McMullin, Left Field; Gedney, Centre 
Field; Aneen, Right Field; with Reach, Murnan, and Sensenderfer as 
substitutes: the nine are all about to begin active training for the season 
in the private Gymnasium of Mr. Stephen Flannigan. 
Sutton has returned from New York State and remarked the other day 
he intended playing 3d Base better the coming year than he did when he 
last played the position at Cleveland, where five errors only were charged 
to him. McGeary has indeed signed with the Athletic Club, and I give 
it as authority, the New York Clipper,, to the contrary, cotwithstanding, 
he will not play in Chicago, and the contract is signed and sealed in the 
possession of the Athletic Club directors. 
There is a great deal of opposition on the part of many of the Athletic 
Base Ball Club to the proposed European trip on the ground of expense 
and of interference with the regular championship games, but it is prob- 
bable that the nine will relinquish a third of their salaries during their 
absence for the sake of going, and thus expense will be reduced; and the 
regular championship games will be so arranged as to be played closer 
together that the six weeks or two months absence of the clubs will not 
be missed. 
The choice of conveyance will no doubt be in favor of the Philadelphia 
European Line of Steamers, and it is hoped they will carry the tourists, 
asjthey are the newest and best equipped vessels afloat; and the company 
will offer a very low price of passage. 
A number of the Athletic Base Ball Association will accompany the 
clubs, and no doubt the party will be made up of forty or fifty of its 
members, some with their wives; and I will mention Messrs. Ferguson, 
Warnoclc, Speering, Huston, Des Granges, and Allen, as having express¬ 
ed their intention of making the trip. It is proposed that the players of 
the two clubs shall sail from Philadelphia about July 15, after playing a 
farewell match together on the Athletic ground, and that the period of 
their absence shall be eight weeks., This would give them about 
five weeks for playing in England, during which time all the 
principal cities could easily be visited. Generally, the two clubs will play 
against each other exhibition matches, but this programme will be varied 
by occasional matches with English nines, the latter being given an Am¬ 
erican pitcher and. the advantage of six out to an inning, also by the 
combination of the American nines in cricket agaipst English cricket 
clubs. In connection with this matter it may not be out of place to men¬ 
tion that the financial position of the Athletic Club is excellent, all state¬ 
ments in certain quarters to the contrary notwithstanding. It does not 
owe a cent, has funds in hand, and, under its present capable manage* 
ment, promises to achieve greater prosperity than ever.

This is one of those rare historical books that delight every lover of 
the true and concise in history. As the reader turns page after p a <-r e of 
this revelation of the heroism displayed by this peculiar persecuted peo 
pie, and carefully examines all the minute details of this thnUina histor 
of sufferings patiently, and often triumphantly endured for conscience' 
sake, he is led to exclaim “Wonderful people, led apparently by the 
hand of God!” Notwithstanding the many painful histories and epi¬ 
sodes which sometimes threatened to overwhelm this devoted neonl 
yet we lay aside the hook with a profounder admiration for their Chris¬ 
tian character, as displayed in that sublime faith, that implicit belief in 
the strength of that Almighty Ruler, “who doeth all things well.” i n a 
word, we look upon this work, not only as a reliable history of great in¬ 
terest, but a glowing transcript of one of the most glowing pages of the 
world’s history. 
Old Fort Duquesne; or Captain Jack, the Scout. A 
Historical novel. Pittsburg: People’s Monthly Publishing Company 
1873. 
In an historical point of view this novel brings to light several new rev¬ 
elations, particularly as regards that disastrous campaign against the 
French. Although purporting to be only a novel, yet the pleasingro- 
m anc.e which gives zest and sparkle to its pages, enibues them with an 
historical value that everyone acquainted with the stirring acts of that 
eventful campaign will truly appreciate. Braddock’s character stands re¬ 
vealed in his every movement, while the unique garrison life at “Old Du- 
quesne” is truly and happily told. In many respects the author has 
given almost literal history. And while reading this work we can in 
imagination, not only hear the rattle of the knives and forks around the 
“mess table,” but also listen to the gibes, jokes, stories and songs of the 
garrison life at Fort Duquesne. The habits and peculiarities of the In¬ 
dians are exceedingly well drawn, and are worthy a separate volume 
, The history of Captain Jack, the Indian Hunter, and the love of Wauki- 
na were related to me not long since upon the site of the old fort. All 
these thrilling incidents are fully laid down in this readable work.

North American JReview, The January number of this ex¬ 
ceedingly valuable and reliable Review contains a finely written article 
on the subject of “Arctic Exploration,” from the pen of Isaac I Hays, 
whom everyone well knows is amply qualified to do full justice to a sub¬ 
ject that has claimed so large’ a portion of practical experience. An¬ 
other paper upon the “Antiquities of the American Indians” will at this 
time commend itself to many of our American readers, as it gives much 
new light upon the antiquities of this now alniost extinct race. “Cur¬ 
rency and Finance” is a paper in which, upon a careful perusal, will he 
found little poetry, but much strong prose, seasoned with much good 
sense. It would do no harm to many of the frequenters of State street, 
Boston, or Wall street, New York, should they devote an hour to a care¬ 
ful perusal of the same. We give the North American Review & cordial 
welcome. 
Popular Science Monthly, March number. FT. Y.: D. 
Appleton & Co. 
The numb er for March opens with an interesting paper upon the world 
before the introduction oi life. By Prof. Charles H. Hitchcock. Illus¬ 
trated. In this paper the serial! progress^of the earth is presented 
simply as a mass of inorganic, chaotic elements, inert and motionless, 
representing and embodying the idea of “chaos,” as understood at the 
present day by theologians as the Bible word chaos. The spiral nebu¬ 
lae in Canes’ Venatica (H. 1622) makes one of the illustrations. To every 
student of ancient or old world history, this paper opens a new world of 
thought. This paper alone is worth the price of a whole volume of the 
work. In this short notice we are able only to call the attention of the 
reader to one of the grandest, as well as most profound themes of our 
world’s past history, or what has beep so long known by the appellation 
of “our world before life.” 
Many other papers of much interest to all readers fill up this magazine, 
among which deserving thought and consideration, we name a paper upon 
Louis Agassiz—The Future of Alchemy—Modern Optics and Painting- 
Literary Notes and Miscellany. Avery valuable number, full as a nut 
with meat is this Popular Monthly forMarch.

This highly popular work is placed upon our table by the Messrs. Os¬ 
good & Co. with the usual promptness of this house, and it givesus 
pleasure to say that the opening number for January gives full promise 
of success to the third volume. This number contains a valuable paper 
upon “Ship-building upon the Clyde,” and it givesus some quite new 
ideas as to the progress and incidents of this vast industry. One who 
was familiar with the Clyde of vears ago would be astonished to know 
that the original Clyde, a petty, tortuous streamlet, full of rock-beds and 
shallow fords, &c., should have, by well-directed energy and capital, 
become one of the grandest highways of commerce. But such it is under 
the master mind of Mr. Robert Napier. It would give us great pleasure 
had we the space, to devote much more to this wonderful paper. We 
can only introduce it to the attention of our readers. The number is 
otherwise well filled with very valuable papers; a few we name: “Gems 
of Industrial Art,” “Prevention of Railway Accidents,” and a large 
table of Miscellany, both valuable and interesting to the student, manu¬ 
facturer and general reader.
