The International match between America and Canada, played at Toronto on August 15 and 16, ended in an unex­ pected win for tho Americans by an in­ nings and 49 runs. The Canadians only scored 43 and 56. It is thirty-nine years since the first contest took place, and the results of the eighteen contests played during that period may be of interest. Date.

The Melbourne Leader of July 7, con­ tains an answer to a correspondent anent the visit of another Australian team in 1884, which will hare some interest as the opinion of one the most influential newspapers in the Colonies. It says:— Tbe Australians’ offer, we understand, is for each side to take half, to which the English au­ thoritiesdemur, offeringthe Australians half the ground entrance money, hut refusing to allow them to participate in the entrance money to grand stands. The Surrey County Club were enabled to paytheir debts last season throughthe matches playedby the Australians, in which the latter only shared the groundmoney. In the big matches the advertised charges were “ to the covered stand for the match 20 s.” each, and to the uncovered stand 10s. each. We quite agree with yon that the Australians would have been justified in enforcingmoreliberal terms, and the present offer to share with them the shillings, whilst the home team (with no enormous travel­ ling expenses such as the Australians have), ap­ propriate all the pounds and half-sovereigns, is preposterous, and should not be entertained for a moment. T h e Eev. T. D. Phillips, of Chicago, according to the last number of the American Cricketer, pronounces “ purely mythical and imaginary ” the challenge to play any man in Canada a single wicket match said to have been issued by him, and which was accepted by Mr. G. N. Morrison, of Toronto. Good. The papers have not yet done with the expression of opinion at the Oval anent Crossland’s bowling the week before last. So much has been said on one side that the following extract from the Figaro of Saturday may fairly be given, represent­ ing as it does, the other view. I t is not the fact., as stated in at least one paper, that the feeling against Crossland, the Lancashire fast bowler, was as strong in the Pavilion at the Oval last Thursday as it was amongst the demonstrative crowd. As a rule, the members of the Surrey Club were much vexed at the unfair behavionr of the spectators in hooting not only Crossland for bowling, but his captain Mr. Hornby, for not takinghim off. And I knowas a fact, that on Friday, beforeplay began, the secretary of the S.C.C.C. took the trouble to go round the ground and beg the spectators not to indulge in any audible disap­ probation of theLancashire bowler, who, solong as the umpires did not “ no ball ” him, must be assumed to have bowledwith perfect fairness. Mn. H. B . J o y n e r , of Nortliwick House, Harrow, sends me a copy of a notice board on a piece of waste land ad­ joining Ruislip Reservoir, in Middlesex. The board, which bears the appearance of having been repaired recently, contains an announcement about Sunday cricket, which reads a little strange. RUISLIP COTTAGERS ALLOTMENTS. NOTICE. Cricket may he played on this ground subject to such rules and regulations as the Trustees may, from time to time, determine. No game to be played before 2 p.m. on Sunday. B y o r d e r o f t h e T r u s t e e s . 1882. I am also indebted to Mr. H. B. Joyner for the following copy of an old cricket bill. It seems to have been the old custom to send sixteen names in with the challenge. Out of these eleven were chosen, and if anyone was known not to belong to the parish for which he was to play, he was objected to at once, hence the sixteen names on the bill. CRICKET.

In the note I wrote last week relative to the scoring of the Hon. A. Lyttelton and I. D. Walker, for Middlesex v. Gloucestershire, and of Messrs. W . G. Grace and Cranston for Gloucestershire v. Lancashire, I asked for any instances of three scores of a hundred in an import­ ant match. I meant in the same innings, and my omission of these words was un­ fortunate, though it lias procured for me interesting communications from more than one correspondent.
