Roller lost the toss, so Williams and Davis began batting for them. Rollor and Buckland were the bowlers. Both batsmen played with confidence, and runs came quiokly. However at 22 Williams was easily caught at point. Butler camein,but wasunluckym beingbowled off his arm after making 5. Tyers, who had just made 101 in the Gentlemen and Players match, was next. The play was now very tamo, 10 runs only being recorded in 30 minutes,, when Tyers, who had only made 5, was very cleverly caught by Welman. Buck­ land hero gave up the ball to Bainbridge. Priestley kept up his end, and Davis went in for slogging. With the score at 60 Davis was missed by Key from a skyer in the long field. Tho escape did not profit him much, as Hine- Haycock in the next over caught him in the same position. His 34 was a hard-hit innings, but he was very lucky. Wilson, who camo next, was very finely taken by Cobb at short leg. So far Roller had taken all five wickets. Lunch was now the order. Lambkin took the vacant wicket. Runs were steadily compiled, till at 93 Rotherham and Hine-Haycock were deputed to bowl. This checked the run- getting and at 101 Priestley was out leg before wicket for 16. Kessler did nothing, but Cuddihy helped Lambkin to raise the total. Several changes were made in the attack be­ fore Lambkin played on to Cottrell. His 26 was a very fine innings. 8 for 118. Rain here stopped play for half an hour. On resuming five runs were added, when Cuddihy lost his., wicket.' The last wicket actdea 20 and the innings closed for 143. There was still half an hour’s play. Buck­ land accompanied Haycock to the wioket. J. L. Pool and Tye^s shared the attack. Eight runs came from Pool’s first over, but in Tyers’ second over Haycock was caught off a full pitch at the second attehipt. Key and BuCk- land played out time, the score being 21. Second day. The bowlers were the same as before. Two runs only were added when Buckland was run out. The rain in the night had made the wicket nearly unplayable. Roller and Key increased the total to 36, when Roller was caught in hittingto leg. A further disaster was in store, as Key was easily caught at .short leg. Fortescue (who had had his beard shaved off) came in, but Cobb did all the scoring. Lambkin was given atrial vice Pool. This change worked at once, asthe fast bowler immediately upset Cobb’slegstump. Fortescue immediately shared the same fate, and Turner was bowled by Tyers. Rotherham joined Bain­ bridge, who at this point drove Lambkin out of the ground, avery fine hit; Rotherham did not stay, and on Cottrell coming in Bainbridge had a life at short leg. He could not profit by his escape, as at 75 he and Welman were both bowled by Lambkin. Lambkin had takenfour wickets for 17, while Tyers had bowled throughout the innings for 16 runs, and had dismissed four batsmen. The New York men having 68 in hand were naturally muoh elated at their success, which, however, turned out to be but short-lived. Williams and Davis as before came dn first. They were opposed by Rotherham and Cottrell. The start was most sensational, the wicket playing most disgrace­ fully. Rotherham’s first ball (a full pitch) removed Davis'smiddle stump; Butler oamein. With the scpreat7,Cottrell removed his middle wicket, while Tyers suffered an Identical fate first ball, andPriestley was caught in the next over. Four for 7. Lunoh nowstopped the game. On resuming Williams was easily caught at mid-off in the first over. Wilson and Lambkin made a stand, so Buckland bowled vice Roller. At 33 Wilson was caught and bowled by Cottrell, who appeared quite irresistible. Wilson’s 17 was an extremely useful and plucky contribution. After his departure Cottrell soon dismissed the remaining four batsmen with an addition of only 8 runs. The Middlesex bowler had taken eight wickets for 21 runs, a marvellous performance, even considering that the wicket helped him. Lambkin carried his bat out for 10. We wanted 110 to win, which seemed a difficult task on such a wicket—the roller, however, seemed to improve its condition. Bainbridge and Roller started the task against Pool and Tyers. The batsmen at once began to hit; 75 runs were recorded after an hour’s play; Bain­ bridge had been missed at the wicket, but both men were playing in their best form; from this point boundary hits were the order. At 4.50 the century appeared. With only 3 runs to win, Bainbridge, who had scored 47, was caught at slip. His innings was a very fine one. Key came in, and drove Pool finely to the off boundary, winning the game at 6.10 by nine wickets. The credit of the victory is due to Cottrell, Roller and Bainbridge, who scored a brilliant victory out of what appeared to be a lost game. On Wednesday evening a dance which turned out.a very brilliant affair was given in our honour on the Island. Four of the team, having missed the last boat to New York, started to row to Bay Ridge. They accomplished the-four rfiiles in two hours, being rather hampered by a drunken boatman, while the boat let in water rather freely. Mr, Sanders, knee-deep in water, managed his crew with great efficiency from the stern; they reached the hotel during the small hours none the worse for their nocturnal adventures. \ lL N ew Y o r k .

This return game was begun on Friday, October the 1st. Tlie Philadelphians left out W. Brockie and W. Scott, much to the dis­ appointment of more than one member of the the team, who seemed to relish the latter’s slow deliveries, J. B. Thayer and W. C. Lowry, both of whom visited England with the Phila­ delphians, being chosen in their places. Roller was again unfortunate in the toss, so at 10.30he led his men into the field. Scott and Patterson were the first pair, Buckland and Cottrell sharing the attack. .In half an hour 18 runs were recorded, when an excellent catch at short-slip disposed of Scott. Thayer made 6, and was then taken £ft mid-on. On Morgan joining Patterson, the latter was clean bowled. Clark and R. S. Newhall both shared the same fate, Cottrell having secured at the wickets. With five down for 32 things looked bad for Philadelphia; however, Newhall gave Morgan considerable assistance. At 57 the veteran hit his wicket, and retired by no means satisfied with the rules of the game. Ralston came in and at once began to play freely, while Morgan was playing very fine cricket. Roller took the ball from Cottrell, and his second delivery dis-; turbed Ralston’s stumps. Comfort came in and made several lucky snicks, while Morgan began to hit pretty hard. The figures travelled to 96, when a marvellous catch at point sent Comfort back to the pavilion. Brown kept up his iend-, and Cottrell and then Haycock were tried. No wicket fell before the luncheon bell rang at 1.30. On resuming Buckland easily caught and bowled Brown. Lowry made two hits causing Roller to take the ball at 128. His second ball bowled Lowry. Morgan was not out for 45, an extremely fine innings, without which the Philadelphian score would have been a very poor one. Roller and Bainbridge went in, Brown and C. Newhall being the bowlers. Roller did most of the scoring, and at 18 Bainbridge got his leg in front and had to retire. Key came in, and it was- at once evident that the Oxonian watf not in form. Roller made two drives to the boundary off Brown, when Key gave two easy chances of stumping in one over of Brown’s. Clark took Newhall’s place, and at 47 LOwry went oil. Key made two hits over coverpoint’s head for 3, but then lost the company of Roller, who was bowled off his pads. He had made 28 very well. Turner was bowled by a yorker off his toe the first ball. Buckland joined Key, and though the latter was verv fortunato no other disaster occurred. Stumps were drawn with the score at 97, Buckland being not out 28. for which he had playe$. vpvy freely, and Key not out with 30. A bad staii was made, as with the score unaltered, Key was brilliantly caught by Scott at mid-off, his 30 being an extremely lucky contribution. Haycock did not increasethe score,being beaten by a ball from Clark. Cobb joined Buckland and completely changed the state of affairs. Change after change was tried, but runs came extremely fast, Comfort and Patterson coming in for very heavy punishment. At }8Q Next Issue November 25
