Merion Cricket Club at Ardmore.— On Saturday 
last the new grounds of the Merion Cricket club were 
opened by a club match between the first Eleven and 
Twenty-two, picked from the members of the club. The 
fine weather on Saturday, and the interest felt in the home 
club, brought out a large concourse of ladies aud gentlu- 
men, who testified their approbation, both of the grounds 
and of the play. By the annexed score it will he seen that 
the first Eleven was victorious; their score against a Twen- 
ty-two of 130 was quite creditable. Ou the patt of the 
Twenty-two the steady play in the field during the earlier 
part of the innings was worthy of comment. Mr. William- 
son howled with great regularity and success; most of the 
first Eleven being uuablc to hit his howling with any effect

—The New York Athletic Club held their Spring games 
on their grounds at Mott Haven on Monday last. A large 
assemblage of spectators, numbering some 3,000, witnessed 
the sports. The first event was a one mile handicap run 
which was easily won by M. D. Stern. The second contest 
was a 100 yards race, handicap, in three heats, which was 
won by A. H. Curtis in 10J seconds. The running high 
jump fell to M. E. Burris, he having attained a height of 
4 feet 6i inches. The most interesting feature of the ex- 
hibition was a seven mile walk for the club championship 
between D. M. Stern and James Fraser. Stern made Die 
time in lh. 4m. 11s., Fraser completing his task about six 
seconds later. In the running broad jump, handicap, M. E. 
Burris cleared a space measuring 17 feet 7 Inches. The 
seventh feat, n half mile run for the club championship, 
was performed by M. E. Burris, who went over the course

ing to an accident, to Mr. Cameron, he declined to run the 
quarter mile on his handicap, and Mr. T. W White and 
Mr. Kneelaud having a desire to run it only on account of 
Mr. Cameron’s entry the race was withdrawn, as was also 
the 120 yard hurdle races. 
Grand National Curling Club.— The ninth annual 
convention of the curlers of America will be held at tho 
Getty House, Yonkers, on Wednesday next., the Dili inst. 
The arrangements have all been completed, and include a 
meeting of the Executive Committee, the general meeting 
of all clubs in attendance, the annual match for the Bell 
Champion Quoit, and a banquet in the evening. TI 10 
Curling convention is one of the great events in the curler's 
calendar. It is the means of bringing together devotees of 
the game in all parts of the American Union and tho Do- 
minion of Canada, and it has hitherto been an occasion of 
social enjoyment, only second to the Winter meetings on 
the ice. The chief business of the convention consists of 
a revision of the laws of the game. In this respect the 
Grand National is the legislative assembly of the whole 
fraternity. Tho rules which it promulgates are accepted 
as final and decisive on every point by all affiliated clubs. 
Arrangements will also be made for the medal matches 
of next Winter. These medals are given by tho Grand 
National to be played for by Us members according to the 
manner in which they are matched at the convention. 
This series of games is another most prominent feature 
of cnch occasion. They are looked upon ns test matches, 
and invariably bring out the best strength of the clubs en- 
gaged. The Grant! National, as a central organization, 
also takes cognizance of all the great honspeils of each 
year. The arrangements for an International match be- 
tween the United States and Canada have always been re- 
mitted to a committee subject to the same body. These 
and similar matters occupy the attention of the convention, 
and make its deliberations of paramount importance to 
the interest of curling. 
The afternoon of the day of meeting is devoted to the 
quoiting match for the Bell Champion Quoit. This trophy 
is at present in the hands of Mr. A. Dalrympk’.of this city, 
and is played for each year after the session of the conven- 
tion by quoilers who are members of the Grand National 
Curling Club. The winner holds the medal and is cham- 
pion for the year, or UNtil defeated.

The Galaxy contains contributions from Its well known 
and regular writers, as well as some whose names are unfamiliar. A 
sketch of the "Morals of Florida” is very interesting. Prince Achilles 
Murat, eldest son of the King of Naples and Caroline, sister of Napo- 
leon I., settled in that country at the deposition of hi* uncle, and mar- 
ried Miss Gray, whose family had removed from Virginia. This lady, 
who was already a niece ef George Washington, by this marriage held 
the same relationship to the Great Napoleon— a brilliancy of connection 
that could hardly bo surpassed. The articles In the June issue of the 
Galaxy are all interesting and instructive, but we must admit a desire to 
see a little more froth, if It is only to give zest to the solid. 
The Aquatic Monthly for May is at hand, and, as the 
yachting season is opening, lovers of the “briny" will And much in its 
pages to instruct and amnse them, not only as regards sailing craft, bnt 
for those who slick to the ashen breeze. Prof. Win. Wood, well known In 
rowing circles, confclbu es a capital paper on this topic, in which the cox- 
swain question is Billy discussed, while "Big Topmast," "Centreboard," 
"Corinthian," and others argne ]>ro and con , for and against keels and 
English models. D. H E. Is very sound on the "rig" question. The 
Aquatic is a necessity for the yachtsman, who can And many useful aud 
timely hints it its pages. 
Rich in scientific miscellany and much that is interesting 
in natural history is the American Naturalist for the current month. Dr. 
Laphani, Prof. Webster, and Mr, Packard hare all contributed valuable 
papers, the latter one entitled “Life Histones of the Mollusca," which Is 
particularly worthy of note. In it we learn of the development of the 
oyster, and that he is a lainellihranchiate mollnsk whose embryology Is 
unknown. We look in vain, however, for a solution of the vexed ques- 
tion as to whether clams have the power of motion, and are rather sur- 
prised to learn that most of our information regarding the moilusks ia 
derived from foreign souices. The cockle shell (cardlum pyqmteum) Is 
the only one of whom wc have a complete life history, and for that wo 
are indebted to Lovcn. 
The Maritime Monthly drifts upon us from St. John, N. 
B„ likea ray of sunshine throngh a tog bank. Hardy and strong, as be 
comes one born of u Northern race, tho Marallme with its substantia 
table of contents is always welcome . "Livingstone" and his travels and 
the “Origin of the Acndiane”— could one wish for greater variety! The 
"Valley of the Platte” is also continued, and as for sketches, embracing 
the romantic and poetical, this magazine is in no degree behind ita older 
and more widely circulated brethren. 
The Agriculturist is so invariably good that a word in its 
praise would be painting the lily. It Is, as usual, rich In illustrations and 
valuable information. We can particularly rccommeud the plnu of fur- 
nishing correct pictures of prominent stallions. The breeder at n dis- 
tance can thus judge for himself whether the horse before him has the 
proper points to "nick" with hie mare without tho labor of a Journey 
and personal inspection. 
The Lite Stock Journal is another periodical which fills 
the great cravlDg of our people for practical information. In addition 
to its regular agricultural and turf department It devotes certain of II* 
space to Dsh culture, under the able direction of Mr. Fred Mather, whose 
lucid and valuable contributions have eo often enriched our own col- 
umns. The Journal is published in this city, and the American Nows 
Company supply the trade. 
The little folks must have rejoiced when they opened 
their Nt. Nicholas for June. As full of good things ns a Christmas stock- 
ing, this excellent magazine is closing its hold upon the hearts of the 
rising gonerailou. A great mission it has in forming tho tastes of its 
young readers, and also a responsibility which is nobly met. The cur- 
rent number Is almost encroaching on our preserves, as one writer de- 
scribes the catching of his flret trout, and another gives explicit direc- 
tions as to seaside camping. The natural history ia good, and bo Is the 
poetry. 
In the current number of Scribner's Monthly Dr. Hol- 
land's capital story of "Sevenoabs" is continued, as Is also the ver- 
sion of Jules Verne’s "Mysterious Island." Albert Rhodes contributes 
an UhiBtrated paper descriptive of Paris students nnd the "Latin quar- 
ter," and Mr, Waring’s excellent description of the Dutch farming and 
drainage sysleut la continued. There are an unusual number of illus- 
trations lu this number, adding greatly to its attractiveness, notably 
those of Clarence Oook'a "Chapter* on House Furnishing," wb|ob W
