The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet, T he members of the Crystal Palace Club have just had a curious experience of the advantages as well as of the dis­ advantages of the rule recently passed allowing captains to terminate their inn­ ings. Singularly enough the closure was applied in both fixtures in which the Club took part on Saturday last. Against St. Bart’s Hospital at the Palace, the Palace declared their innings finished when they had scored 309, of which the well-known football player, F. W . Janson, had contributed 138, for four wickets. They just managed to pull the game off, too, as after an exciting finish the medicals were beaten on the stroke of seven o’clock by 170 runs. At Bromley, in the half day match between the Palace and Bromley, the home team declared their innings finished at 199 for eight wickets, and then got their opponents out for 78. The visitors though were unfortunate in losing the bowling of F. W. Aste, who was badly hurt early in the game and unable to take further part therein. T he experience of the American base­ ballers in their first public exhibition of cricket in Australia was racily told by J. M. Ward, the New York Baseball Club’s great short-stop, at the dinner of the Cosmopolitan C.C. held in New York some weeks ago. J. M. Ward loq. To a casual observer it may seem that base­ ball and cricket are very similar games, and he may think that an expert in one should also play the other well. 1 confess there were some in our party who entertained this view, and when told that we were expected to play some cricket, were not at all frightened. W e thought that a few days’ practice would give us the hang of the hitting, and when the day of the match came we believed should make at least a creditable showing. Upon our arrival in Australia we had a practice game, whioh served only to whet our appetites for the first genuine contest against Australians. The
