The abstract ana brief chronicle of the time.— ___' Hamlet, T h e English professionals who are to visit Australia this winter under the management of Shaw, Shrewsbury and Lillywhite are, I learn from the promoters of the tour, to leave Plymouth in the steamship “ Cuzco ” belonging to the Orient Company, of which, by the way, Mr. C. E . Green, the Essex Captain, is one of the chiefmanagers, to-morrow fortnight. The team will be made up of A. Shaw, A. Shrewsbury, W . Scotton, W . Barnes, W . Flowers, W . Gunn, M. Sherwin, all of Notts; J. Briggs and R. G. Barlow, o f Lancashire; M. Read and G. Loh­ mann, o f Surrey; W . Bates, of York­ shire ; and James Lillywhite, o f Sussex, the last-named of whom will, I presume, undertake as heretofore the man­ agement. The twelve who will form the playing strength are a strong combination, and are sure to render a good account of themselves. Everyone will wish them a pleasant as well as a successful trip. gates to the Conference to meet at Berne on the 6th September for the purpose of signing the International Copyright Con­ vention. Mr. Bergne, who was only re­ cently gazetted a Commander o f the Order of St. Michael and St. George, will be well known to many C r ick et readers in connection with the Civil Service and other clubs some years ago. It was my good fortune to play with him more than once about—well, perhaps, I had better not say how long since. I n o t ic e in yesterday’s paper an inti mation from the Foreign Office that Sir Francis Adams, K.C.M.G., C.B., Her Majesty’s Minister at Berne, and Mr. J. H . G. Bergne, C.M.G., Superintendent of the Treaty Department of the Foreign Office, have been appointed British dele­ C r ick et readers will be glad to learn that the White Star Liner “ Adriatic,” with the English Amateur cricketers, under the management of Mr. E. J. Sanders and captaincy of Mr. W. E. Roller on board, arrived at New York on Saturday last. The team should by this time have got through the opening stage of their first fixture. They were due to commence their initial engagement at New York yesterday, and in the course of the next fortnight full details of this match against the Staten Island Club should be to hand. A w e e k or so ago I noticed in passing the result of the International Match between the United States and Canada, played on the 13th and 14th of last month, on the ground o f the Sea- bright Club in New York. The Ameri­ cans, though well represented, had not their full strength, and the Kanucks had the best of the game throughout, scoring 123 and 106 against 55 and 77, and win­ ning with 97 runs to spare. Messrs. Howard McNutt, W . C. Lowry, and E. W . Clark, jun., all well-known to English players in connection with the Philadel­ phian visit o f 1884, were the most suc­ cessful bowlers for the Americans, and the two first-named, with Messrs. J. E. Brewster and W . C. Morgan, jun. — another pair who were over here with the Gentlemen o f Philadelphia two years ago— were the highest scorers. Mr. Morgan, too, enjoyed the distinction of a rare performance. He carried his bat through the first innings for 17 out of a total of 55. I t will interest some C r ick e t readers to know that Charles Lawrence, the old Surrey player—who after going out with the first All-England Eleven settled down in Australia, and many years later re­ appeared in England as manager of the Aboriginal Team, the first team to leave Australia for “ home ”—has a son who is a very fair cricketer. C , W . Lawrence, I notice in the Sydney Mail, heads the batting tables of the Newcastle Club with an excellent average o f 26.2 for twenty innings. I n case any C r ick et readers may have been startled by the heading o f an article in last week’s Pall Mall B u d g e t Another Buffer Gone," I may as well say that this does not refer to the original and only Old Buffer who discourses so ably
