Mists of autumn at morn and even ; Shadows grow long, and the dew lies late. Guns and dogs move over the stubble. T h e end draws nigh of a season great. Kent and Yorkshire All England facing— A t the far-famed Oval a contest rare ! Scarce a week it seems since the season we greeted W ith joy. Now there’s grief in the golden air. Gallant George Hirst goes to w inter quarters. Douglas and comrades w ill cross the line. Make the most of your last chance, cricket’s lovers— Last deep draught of a vintage fine ! Seven long months must we wait, impatient, Longing for close-clipped turf’s good smell, Men of might in the middle, blue sky o’erarching, A new beginning— till then, farewell ! J.N.P. THE SCORE BOOK. Canada and United States v. Australian Team. At the Rosedale Ground, Toronto, August 22 , 23 , and 25 . Philadelphia sent R. P. Anderson, H. A. Furness, C. C. Morris, and J. H. Stewart ; T . A. D- Bevington, the old Harrovian, came from W innipeg, and W . C. Baber from Montreal. Only 75 minutes’ play was possible 011 the iirst day, owing to rain. During that time the Australians made 83 for 2 . Mayne helped Macartney to add 46 for the second wicket. Bardsley, not out overnight with the little nun, aided in a part­ nership of 60 . Campbell stayed while 46 were put on. But everyone else was quite overshadowed by Macart­ ney. In brilliant form throughout, he made his 186 in 4 hours ; it included twenty 4 ’s. At the close of the first day the combined team had lost 7 w ickets for 149 , Furness having played a capital innings of 43 . Hum­ phries was then 24 * ; he carried his score to 49 next day, and the fair total of 182 was registered. Follow ing on, the Americans failed before Craw ford and Macart­ ney, C. C. Morris alone making any real resistance. The Australians won by an innings and 147 runs. They thus pulled off quite easily both the games in which they met All-American elevens. But it may not be so easy to beat All America in the course of five years or so. Canadians and men of the States alike are learning their lesson, and are sure to profit by experience.
