290 CEICKET; A WEEKLY RECCED OF THE GAME. J u ly 17, ibm. TH E G E N T L EM E N OF P H I L A ­ D E L P H IA . (C om m unicated .) The continued success of the American cricketers in England must be most gratify­ ing, not only to the members of the team, but to the thousands of our cricket-loving cousiDS across the “ big pond.” Up to Satur­ day last they had played 13 matches, 7 of which were won, three were lost, and three drawn. In those 13 matches they scored an ageregate of 3,945 runs for the loss of 194 wickets, or an average—and a capital one, too—of 20.65 per wicket. Their opponents lost 227 wickets for a total of 3,580 runs, or an average of only 15.175 per wicket. Of the three drawn games one was a moral victory for our visitors, while neither side could claim an advantage in either of the others. Of their opponents, the Gentlemen of the M.C.C. alone have succeeded in defeating them in a single innings, while in three instances one innings has sufficed to ensure victory for the Philadelphians. The innings of 406 by the M.C.C., and that of 311 by the Lansdovn Club, are the highest scores against them, while on the other hand, they have contributed innings of 520,433, 319, and 298. Mr. E. Sainsbury’s 108, and Mr. C. T. Studd’s 106 are the only indi­ vidual innings of three figures made against them, while one or other of our visitors have reached the century on no less than four occasions, Mr. E. S. Newhall scoring an innings of 126, Mr. Brockie one of 113 not out, and Mr. Stoever one of 106 and another of 100. The batting averages for the 13 matches are as follows Compltd. Runs Most in Innings.

Out of a total of 222 wickets credited to the Philadelphian bowlers, Mr. Lowry has succeeded in taking the large proportion of 85. Mr, McNutt claims 29, Mr. C. A. New- hall—who did not play in the first eight matches—26, Mr. Brewster 20, Mr. Clark 16, Mr. Fox 15, Mr. Thayer 13, Mr. Law 11, and Mr. Stoever 5. In the last six matches in which he has played Mr. Lowry has cap­ tured 50 wickets at an average cost of only 9.4 per wicket. Mr. C. A. Newhall has taken 26 wickets for an average of 13.6, and Mr. McNutt is credited with 18 wickets in the last five matches in which he has been engaged, at a coBt of 12.6 per wicket. The Philadel­ phians have given away 153 extras ; their opponents 262. GENTLEMEN OF PHILADELPHIA, v. GENTLEMEN OF NORTHUMBERLAND- The Gentlemen of Philadelphia gained their seventh victory at Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Saturday, when they beat the Gentlemen of Northumberland with 96 runs to spare. Scott and the Captain (R. S. Newhall) batted well for the Americans. Their victory, though, was chiefly due to the good bowling of Lowry and McNutt, who were qgain very effective. The former took ten wickets for 76 ; the latter seven for 34 runs. P hiladelphians . Second Innings. cOgilvie,bBrutton 24 First Innings. J. A. Scott, c Spencer, b Lowndes ................. .. 87 W .

The Philadelphian team had all the best of the drawn game in their match at Derby on Monday and Tuesday. Though they only had an advantage of 16 runs on the first in­ nings, when they went in again R. Newhall and Thayer punished the English bowling severely, and by capital cricke t they added 122 runs while they were together. Derby­ shire, in a bad light, lost five wickets for 60, and the game was drawn, the Englishmen wanting 200 to win with only five wickets to fall. P hiladelphians . Second Innings. First Innings. J.
