The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Samlet, T he Gentlemen of Philadelphia were to leave New York yesterday in the “ City of Chicago,” and all well should he in Dublin during the latter part of next week. As their first fixture is against Trinity College on July 2 and 3, they will have a few days for practice, of which they are sure to take full advantage. English cricketers will be sorry to hear that another of the most prominent mem­ bers of the team which visited England in 1884 will be unable to accompany the Philadelphians on their second visit to this country. Continuous ill-health has compelled Mr. J. A. Scott to give up all idea of joining the party, and C ricket readers who remember the sound as well as attractive style he showed as a batsman here five years ago, will be disappointed at the absence of so sterling a cricketer as well as genial companion. His loss to the Philadelphians will be great, as he is still quite in the fore-front of American cricketers. A fter all only four members of the team of 1884 will be included in the thirteen due here next week, to wit, Messrs. F. E. Brewster, E. Walter Clark, \V. C. Morgan, and D. P. Stoever. Messrs. E. S. Newhall, J. B. Thayer, J. A. Scott, W. C. Lowry, and W . Brockie, jun., who were here in 1884, have been unable to come for various reasons, and in their absence the team will consist of the following players:— Young America C.C. Germantown C.C. Merion O.C. ) \ )■Belmont C.C. Daniel S. Newhall (Capt.) Francis E. Brewster E. Walter Clark Charles B. Palmer George S. Patterson William C. Morgan Harry I. Brown Beynolds D. Brown Archibald G. Thomson Newbold Etting Joseph W . Sharp David P. Stoever Walter Scott I need hardly remind C ricket readers that the share of the receipts which would in the ordinary way come to the Philadel­ phians, will be handed over entirely to charitable institutions connected with cricket, and I fully expect that “ The Cricketer’s Fund ” will be the fortunate recipient of a handsome donation from Mr. Newhall and his mates. They play the game thoroughly, I need hardly add, in Philadelphia, and every one will hope that the team will have fine weather and as successful a trip from a cricket point of view as they are sure to have socially. “ I have been a constant reader of C ricket ,” writes Mr. Bichard Chichester, of Prior Park, Bath, “ from its first pub­ lication, and more than once have seen curiosities, etc., in the 1Pavilion Gossip.’ I don’t remember ever, however, having noticed anything similar to the following anecdote, which took place here on the College ground last Monday (June 10). The match was the Past v. Present, and the Bev. E. Graham, who has gained a reputation around Bath for long scoring in minor matches, was batting. During his innings of 85, he drove a ball to the on which fell into a tree and descended on the top of a green linnet’s nest and killed four young ones. The old bird was seen to fly off uninjured almost simultan­ eously.” I t will be of interest to many C ricket readers to know that Mr. P. H. Morton, M.A., of Trinity College, Cambridge, who has been for nine years an Assistant Master at Elstree School, is just opening an establishment of his own at Bracewefl Hall, near Skipton-in-Craven, Yorkshire, for the preparation of boys from eight to ourteen years of age for Eton, Harrow,
