— The Germantown dub having refused 
to enter the lists the Philadelphias, Young 
America, and Morion Cricket clubs will con- 
tend this season for the Halifax Prize Cup 
won by the American twelve at the tourna- 
ment at Halifax, N. S., August, 1874. The 
first match of the series will take place on 
Saturday, May 29, between the Philadelphia 
and Young America, when the former will 
be strong in the possession of Meade and 
Law, two first-class bowlers 
On Saturday, May22d, the Y'oung America 
and Germantown clubs played a game, which 
was in many respects remarkable. The 
game, as on the previous match, was marked 
by extraordinarily good play on both sides, 
in the Germantown team were four brothers 
—Hargreaves; in the Y'oung America four 
brothers— Newhalls; and their skill added 
largely to the score upon each side. There 
was but one inning played, with a result of 
big figures. Y oung America, 248, an aver- 
age of over 24; Germantown, 110, an aver- 
‘ , For 1 lhe Y'oung America Bob 
rsew hall made the grand score of 103 runs 
by some of the most brilliant batting ever 
^ e ?. , . n country, giving but one chance, 
f,?r d vo at Wh $J?, lhe tc,c 6 ru pli gave him credit 
lor 79 runs. This score has not bccu equaled 
in a first-class match by an American crick- 
eter since the 105 made in 18'8 by the late 
and greatly lamented Waller Newhall. To

Spring meeting at Hamilton Pnrk on Satnr- 
day Notwithstanding that at this season 
of the year there are other attractions in 
the way of out <.oor amusements to divide 
attention, the attendance was fair includ- 
ing a large number of ladies. The entries 
were confined to the most proficient, owing 
to the fact that for each event a limit as to 
t ime or d.stance was set for its performance. 
I he events were as follows; Half mile race 
won by D. Trumbull, ’?(»; time 2:341 Three 
jmle race, contested by three meu, Ward 
c “ l , no In first, making the distance in 19 
min. 31 see., but lost the prize, as 18min. 30 
sec was the limit. Trumbull, ’70, was more 
fortunate in the one hundred yards dash ac- 
vompl.shi.ig it in ltlj sec. The one mile was 
not run within the 5 min. 15 seo. Wake-
