D a fcr ilb tt d k s s t j j , The a b s tra ct a n d b rie f ch ro n icle o f th e tim e.— Samlet, T he Gentlemen of Philadelphia, it is now definitely settled, will leave New York on the 19th of next month for Eng­ land. They will cross in the “ City of Chicago,” of the Inman Lino, and accord­ ing to present arrangements should be due in Dublin on the 28th of June. As the first of August, on which their match against the United Services at Ports­ mouth should have commenced, is Goodwood Cup day, and there will be a general exodus from Portsmouth for that race, it has been decided to limit the fixture with the Services to two days, and begin on Friday, August 2nd, instead of on the previous day as originally fixed. A n American paper states that among the cricketers of the Quaker City who are booked positively to go are the following ; G. S. Patterson, W. C. Morgan, and H. I. Brown of the Germantowns; A. G. Thompson, Newbold Etting, and W. Sharp of the Merions; J. A. and W. Scott of the Belmonts; F. E. Brewster and Captain Daniel S. Newhall of the Young Americas. From the same source I learn that the farewell match of the Gentlemen of Philadelphia will be played at Nicetown, near Philadelphia, on June 15th, when a team of professionals will be placed in the field against them.
