THE THIRD GENTLEMEN OF PHILADELPHIA MATCH. ( fourth of the tour ). Played at Haverford on October 2, 3 and 5. Philadelphia won by an innings and 60 runs. For the third time in four matches the Australians won the toss. They batted first on a dead wicket, and found the bowling of King and P. H. Clark some­ what too good for them. Clark has a curl in the air which is very difficult to follow. The total of the first innings was 121. This, though small for the Australians, was large enough to give them confidence, for it was not to be supposed that, on a wicket which suited the bowlers, the Americans would be able to do much. But a splendid stand was made by Patterson and Wood for the first wicket, and when stumps were drawn they had taken the score to 65 without being separated. On the Satur­ day when the game was resumed they increased the total to 91 when both bats­ men were out, Patterson for 37 and Wood for 50—both excellent innings. This good beginning was followed by a good ending, and thanks to fine cricket by Noble, Coates, Brown, and P. H. Clark, the Americans led on the first innings by 161. They bad thus a great prospect of winning the match, especially as the Australians lost Darling and Iredale for 21 before stumps were drawn. The wicket had by no means improved during its rest on Sunday, and on the Monday the end was soon brought about. This time the successful bowler was E. W. Clark, who, bowling a little short, seemed irresistible. It was a great feather in the cap of the Americans to beat the stiong Australian combination so easily, and the victory will have the effect of greatly increasing the interest taken in fhen- early matches when they come to Eng­ land. But they would do well to remember the adage, that “ one swallow does not make a summer.” It is quite possible, however, that their new bowlers are something entirely out of the com­ mon.

( fifth of the tour .) Played at Chicago on October 8 and 0. Australians won by an innings and 37 runs. As the Chicago team consisted of fifteen players, the match need not be desciibid in detail. The Australians had very much the best of it, and most of the men went in for hitting, Trumble especially delighting the spectators. C h ic a g o XV, First innings. Sccond innings. W . R.

Drawn. GRACE HAS DONE IT. Total How oft of late I ’ve heard it said, Grace has done it ; Though others p’raps the list may head, Graco has done it. It matters not Avhat happens now, In cricketing you must allow, It may be grand, but still somehow, Grace has done it. Though “ Ranjy” plays with style superb, Grace has done it ; He “ bats for hours,” but still you’eheard, Grace has done it. This year he’s piled up centuries ten, Two in one match, you say “ I ken,” He’s record broke, 1’m sure, but then, Grace has done it. If you perchance should fail to score, Grace has done it ; Or be dismissed for leg-before, Grace has done it. If for your side you victory snatch In some important cricket match, Or if, again, you drop a catch, Grace has done it. If j ou should pile a mammoth score, Grace has done i t ; And smile at each successive four, Grace has done it. When ninety-nine your loins you gird, You jump right out—but what’s occurred, You’restumped, byJove, ‘ ‘ supplythe word,” Grace has done it. Sidney T. Lucas. CRICKET IN CALIFORNIA. AUBURN v.
