Under the heading “ International Cricket,” the Bermuda Colonist published the following remarks in its issue of March 23rd : — The visit of the Philadelphian cricketers to Bermuda this season has been an unqualified success from every point of view. The weather was of the most ideal character, the matches were for the most part well con­ tested, and, to crown everything, the All Bermuda team avenged the defeat the Philadelphians inflicted upon them some two yeais ago. The match with the Hamilton team ought certainly to have been won by tbe premier club. With such an advantage as they had on the first innings it was confidently felt that the Hamilton players had victory well within their grasp. Then came one of those collapses which provide the spice for what is known as the glorious uncertainty of cricket. The Navy and Army team played the visitors a capital game. Reinforced by some distinguished cricketers like Capts. Pojntz and Denne, our gallant defenders have a team which will take a considerable amount of beating by any local eleven ; and having regard to this fact, public iuterest in the contest for the Dewar Cup during the forth­ coming summer will be materially enhanced. The value to Bermuda of the International matches is not to be estimated as from purely ciicket results, although the latter are of great importance to the teams concerned; the matches are calculated not only to arouse greater local interest in cricket but as well to be the means of making known still more widely the charms and attractions of Bermuda.
