The following will show the results of the tour of American cricketers in the West Indies, extending from Dec. 24 to Jan. 26. In spite of the numerous sea voyages and late hours, caused by the hospitality of their entertain­ ment, and despite the fact that the New York representatives proved of but little service, the team (only a very weak one), as will be seen from the following figures, did rather better work than their opponents.
