It is taken from the New York Commercial Advertiser of September 21. The Englishmen, we may add, were not “ first at the bat.” THE CONTEST LIKELY TO BE CLOSE —ENGLISHMEN FIRST AT THE BAT. A game of cricket, which will last three days, between eleven gentlemen of England and an eleven from the Staten Island, New York, Trenton andManhattan cricket clubs, was opened this morning on til-3 beautiful grounds of the cricket and baseball club at Tompkinsville, Staten Island, which are situated directly on New York bay. The commodious and well-sodded lawn is excel­ lently adapted for the purpose, and the game promised to be spirited and most in­ teresting. The English team, all amateurs, consists of the Reverend It. T. Thornton, W. E. Boiler, A. J, Thornton, J. A. Turner, T. R. Hine-Haycock, W. E. T. Bolitho, A. R. Cobb, A. E. Newton, H. Bowen, C. E. Horner, H. 0. Whitby, and E. J, Sanders. These gentlemen took the bats when the game was called at 12.15, and defended the wickets with so much determination that it seems quite probable that they do not pro­ pose to be beaten as they were by the eleven gentlemen in Philadelphia last week, who, from their experience in England last year, have learned to play the game quite as well as the English and Canadians, in whose countries it is most celebrated. The New York team, comprising Cyril Wilson, W. S. Walker, jun., B. S. Hill, J. H. Lambkin, J. L, Pool and J. McCaul, amateurs, and But­ ler, H. Hart, Tyers, Bogan, and Cleverly, professionals, displayed much watchfulness and did some splendid work. Their quick stoppage of the ball was constantly applauded by the large assemblage of fashionably attired ladies and gentlemen, who seemed to be intensely interested in the Americans gaining all the good points. The English­ men, nowever, were not forgotten, and whenever they scientifically thwarted the cleverness of their opponents, were liberally commended by hand clapping. It is believed by some Americans that cricket will very soon supersede the game of baseball, especi­ ally as a gentlemen’s game. During the past summer it has gained very much in favor. It is conducted in a quiet manner, and without the usual howling that marks the game of basebill. The science of the game is defending the wicket with a bit so as to prevent the ball passing through and probably being caught by the catcher who stands in the rear. By batting the ball in the field at a safe distance, the batter scores his runs as in baseball, but their distance is lessened considerably, extending only from one wicket to another placed about thirty feet apart. The other most important fea­ ture is the curling or bowling of the ball by the pitcher so as to send it through the wicket by avoiding its stoppage by the bat­ ter. Like baseball the innings can be as many as agreed upon. The scorers sat under a canopy, marking every point, and it was their belief that the game would be an exceedingly close one, judging from the man­ ner in which it opened and the excellent work done by both teams. Lander’s orches­ tra, of this city, played during the after­ noon, and the game progressed so quietly that it seemed to the casual observer that the gentlemen were merely practising, and not matched against each other to deter­ mine their skill.
