THE ENGLISH CRICKETERS' TRIP TO CANADA AND .A THE UNITED STATES. rilEFACE. In offering to the kindly notice of the British public the fullowing narrative, derived from personal association, of tho recent trip to America of the Twelve English Cricketers, tho writer ventures to bespeak a generous indulgence to the few remarks with which he desires to introduce this record of their adventures and their exploits. It has happened to have been the lot and privilege of tlic writer of these pages to have attended, professionally, tho earliest wanderings of the Eleven of England throughout the length and breadth of the United Kingdom, and it has ever been his earnest endeavour, in the discharge of his duties, whilst chronicling their performances in the tented field, to disseminate amongst all classes that love of " England's pastime," to which its manly and health-bestowing qualities so justly, and so naturally entitle it. To have left no record, therefore, of so novel an occurrence as this memorable expedition would, the writer feels, have been a subject for universal regret, and howx'ver deeply he is sensible vi of his own sliort coming's, in attempting a task which, indeed, requires the exercise of a far abler pen than his, lie is not Avithout liope that tlio fav()ural)le consideration of his readers will be accorded to his humble attempt to fulfil the duty which he has undertaken. That kind forbearance has been too often granted to the writer, not to lead him to the cheerful anticipation that his l{d)our8 will not have been altogether fruitless; and that his object in appearing thus prominently before the public, will be fully recognised in an eager desire to promote and ext/jnd, even further than it has already prevailed, that love for the noble game of Cricket, which has been of such inestimable value to all communities where it has been practised.

On the Evening of September 6, 1859, Twelve Cricketers of England met at the George Hotel, Liverpool, to be in readiness to embark for Quebec the following morning, per the " Montreal Ocean Steam-ship Company's ship Novia Scotian, Captain Borland." The Twelve com- prised CafFyn, Lockyer, H. H. Stephenson, Julius Caesar, (Surrey), G. l*arr, Grundy, Jackson (Nottingham), Wisden, John Lilly white, (Sussex), Carpenter, T. Hayward, Diver, (Cambridge) ; to these was added Fred. Lillywhite, who, with his tent, press, &c. accompanied the expedition in his professional capacity of reporter of the matches to be played across the water. The next morning, the 7th Sep_ tember, the whole party proceeded to the ship, which was anchored oflF Liverpool docks. Before proceeding to describe what occurred from the time the anchor was weighed, it may not be out of place to inform the reader how these Cricketers became so " domiciled " on board of the said ship — the Novia Scotian. Their preparations were hastily made, and indeed were not con- cluded until the middle of August, during the grand week ut Canterbury, when Mr. Wilder, the President of the C'ricketer*s Fund, was in a position to announce to the parties interested that Mr. Pickering, of Montreal, (whom most of our readers will remember as the celebrated " Field "), had agreed to the proposal which, with the consent of the Twelve Players, Mr. Wilder had made for their re- muneratioh. As far back as 1856, a correspondence took place between Messrs. W. P. Pickering, Montreal,R. Waller, New York, and Fred. Lillywhite, London, respecting certain matches to be played in Ca< s i I V I 2 nada and the States, but owing to the terms asked, just double what they received for this trip, coupled with other circumstances, such as the playing ground, &c., arrangements could not then be entered into. The American panic then intervened^ but, as soon as it had subsided, and the " dollars" were again in free circulation, the correspondence was renewed between Messrs. Pickering and Waller, and owing to the former being so intimately known to Mr. Wilder, in London, a correspondence took place between these two gentlemen, and ulti- mately by private interviews with the players themselves, Mr, Wilder became security, on behalf of Mr. Pickering, for the Twelve to receive £50 each, and to have all their expenses paid, from the time of their departure from, and return to, Liverpool. Previously to Mr. Wilder becoming responsible, Mr. Pickering had secured a sum of £500 through Mr. Waller, for two matches in the States, viz., New York and Philadelphia, and also £250 from Hamilton, Upper Canada. Some doubt having arisen, in the public mind, as to whom the cre- dit of getting the English across the Atlantic should be attributed, caused the following letter from Parr and Wisden to be published in BelVs Life in London, January 8, 1860, '.'Mr. Editor, — As there appears to be a good deal of doubt respecting the parties by whom we were engaged in our late Trans- atlantic trip, we beg to inform you that our engagement to play the four matches was made solely with the Montreal Cricket Club, of Lower Canada, whose guarantee we accepted for our expenses and remuneration, and that we had nothing whatever to do with the States, or any one else, in the matter. — Yours, &c. *' George Parr, ' " John Wisden." Mr. Pickering, on behalf of the Montreal Club, therefore, received £750, and had to conduct the English party throughout their travels, paying all expenses, and, when they were about to return to England from Quebec, the Montreal gentlemen had to make up a balance of something more than £100, which, however, we believe, lias been now almost all collected. Such is the origin of these international contests, which received the most substantial assistance ■ from the gentlemen in the States. iouble what ices, such as ntered into, id subsided, respondence i owing to 1 London, a n, and ulti- Mr. Wilder '^e to receive ime of their Mr. Wilder m of £500 New York il^anada. 5ni the cre- attributed, ublished in I of doubt late Trans- play the it Club, of senses and • with the Parr, ISDEN."

The owners had contracted to convey the English party to and fro. Passengers arrived on hoard just hefore three o'clock, and the opposite en- graving represents the departure. The tug conveyed a vast number of cricketers and supporters of the game in Liverpool, who gave three hearty English cheers for the success of their countrymen. At 4.15 the anchor was weighed, the sailors timing their labours to a popular and nautical ditty« the words of which were about as follows : " Here's success to the old black-jack " Whisky, jolly ; " And may we all get plenty of that ** Whisky, boys— ho — jolly." The melody came to a premature close, and the good ship was then fairly on her way to Quebec. "We soon arrived at the acknow- ledged starting point from England, where the firing of a gun announced the same. Passed the Isle of Man at 10.45, seventy- five miles distant from Liverpool, and all retired to rest ; the only one who had selected a spot for his future accommodation, in case it might be required, was John Lilly white, and this was immediately behind the wheel. The morning of THURSDAY, September 8, r was lovely. Most of the cricketers were on deck at six o'clock. The sea was calm with a fresh and favourable breeze ; we were off the Irish coast, going at the rate of eleven knots an hour. At twelve o'clock a.m. we were distant from Liverpool 220 miles. At this period a heavy sea sprung up, with a head wind, which reduced our " going " from eleven to five knots an hour. Stephenson, Caffyn, John Lillywhite, and Jackson were not quite so comfortable as when on land, and were frequently evincing their arithmetical pro- pensities, by casting up their accounts, the balancing of which they found to be a most troublesome and unpleasant operation. B 2 Onr places having been secured, both for berths andmeals, those who were well now began to " look up/* the officers of the ship, and we very soon found that we had a jolly lot to deal with, which increased our confidence, and made us, at oince, sailors. Our first conversation with Captain Borland raised him high in our estimation as a good hearted, thoroughly courageous, experienced and weather- beaten sailor. His expressions gave us reason to think that he would make every one present comfortable, if possible. Some of the cricketers, however, thought that unless he could prevent the ship from rolling about, his attempts to secure our comfort would not be attended with very great success. We received many indulgences, and much valuable information from Mr. McDonald, the first mate, whose eye was sure to be where anything might be going wrong, and the seamanlike manner in which he gave his commands, pro- cured for him the ready obedience and respect of all the sailors. Then we had the excellent attention of the purser, Mr. Jenkins, who apparently could not do too much to oblige us. The chief engineer also is a gentleman of great eminence in his profession, so that we felt no doubt about our safe arrival at Quebec. The kindness and attention of Mr. Jones, the second mate, was also particularly noticed by the English cricketers ; in fact, the whole of the officers and crew, down to the captain's boy. Jack, were as pleasant a ship's company as one could possibly wish to sail with. We had now ascertained the exact time for meals, and, with the exception of those whose stomachs would not allow them to "devour," all attended to the sound of the bell. Breakfast at half past eight, at which there was no lack of rolls, lunch at twelve, dinner at four, tea at seven, and supper from nine to eleven. It was about four, p.m., this day, Thursday, that the shores of Ireland were fast lessening in the dis- tance; the sky, was no longer blue, and the waves began to get verj/ '* bumpy," so much so, as Wisden remarked, " as to require the immediate use of the roller," upon which some one said, " there were always plenty of rollers on the sea shore." Among those at this period who were particularly noticed to be labouring under disagreeable heaviness were John Lilly white, at the wheelv Caflfyn, Stephenson and Jackspn in their bunks. At 4.30, p.m., we had the I' I i M i 2 M P4 oa last look at land through the captain's glass, and then ascertained that wo should have 1600 miles more to accomplish ere we should again have the pleasure of a similar sight. The captain here ordered more sail up, as the " wind was drawing aft a little." There was not anything like the number of passengers at dinner, as on the previous day, when in the Mersey, no doubt from the fact that they could not relish food imder the circumstances. Among the English paiiiy, who took possession of the seats allotted to them, were Hayward, Carpenter, Parr, Wisden, Lockyer, Crcsar, Grundy, and Fred. Lilly white, and most of these did not remain long, as the ship began to roll fearfully. Later in the evening the breeze freshened almost into a gale, and the quicksilver in the barometer fell rapidly. Upon casting one's eye round the deck, the usual places were filled by those to whom a sea voyage was anything but one of plea8ure,and these appeared exceedingly desirous of putting foot on land again. Upon turning round you would find two or three passengers on their backs, an excellent position, when the ship takes a severe roll. Cafiyu and Stephenson here attempted the task of going below» when an alarming pitch at the moment caused them both to be pre- cipitated to the bottom of the steps, and nothing more was seen of them for two days and a half. At this moment, too, Lockyer, who had up to this period been perfectly well, very good naturedly enquired of Grundy, " how he liked the motion," to which question, he could get no answer, but a sigh, his heart and stomach being too full for utterance, except in one peculiar way. A rubber at whist, among those who were well, finished the night, and most were at rest at half-past nine o'clock. FRIDAY, September 9. Shortly after five o'clock, a.m., all sails were hauled in, the boats- wain's whistle being heard all over the ship. The equinoctial gales had evidently set in, of which the breakfast seats, at half-past eight o'clock, gave ample proof. " Oh ! a mere cat's-paw," says the chief officer. '^ Oh ! thankee," replied Lockyer, exerting, among others, his very utmost to keep on his legs. The gale increased, and 6 t we were in the midst of a hurricane. Some half of the paaspngers did not leave their berths, and the head-aches were numerous and violent— one passenger especially, a Frenchman, who had No. 81, a berth above Fred. Lillywhite, did not leave it for sixty-five hours. In the depth of his distress the poor fellow kept shouting " stew- hart," although that functionary's hands were too full to attend to him immediately. Owing to the novelty of the situation, the groaning of some, the splash and thump of the waves against the sides of the ship, the howling of the wind, the flapping of the sails, and the incessant tramp of feet upon deck, sleep was quite out of the question ; so there lay the unfortunate foreigner, with nothing to keep breath in his body, but warm water and sugar, a very poor sweetener in his cup of bitter annoyances. After his sixty -five hours rest, he at- tempted to land himself on the floor of the berth, endeavouring, first, to get a footing on the side of his fellow passenger's bunk, but, in so doing, the brass railings, on which he entirely depended for his safe landing gave way, and he was prostrated on the spot he had so industriously endeavoured to make ; he was , consequently, rolled about and bruised, until the " stewhart," which word he could only just utter, could make his appearance. Parr and Wisden were imme- diately opposite, and having heard the poor fellow's groaning, and the laughing of his partner, which could notbe restrained, were witnesses of the sight that presented itself. Owing to the fearful pitching of the ship, Fred. Lillywhite could render no other assistance than to "wake up" the steward, who "Monsieur," was now totally unable to call for. The " moving tale " had to be related regularly shortly before lunch, the poor Frenchman, with the warm water and sugar, being anxiously enquired after by other passengers, as well as by the Cricketers. One more circumstance occurred ; after so lengthened a confinement below upon so poor and watery a diet, he, of course, became exceedingly weak, and could scarcely utter a syl- lable, and not being anxious to again trust to the brass rod, he obtained through his partner the presence of the steward; where- upon he was requested to bring ** the scales ;" this being asked in such a feeble voice, coupled with the singularity of the term, that worthy had some difficulty in understanding him, and it was sometime i| ere the poor gentleman could clearly explain what he required. It turned out to he a ladder, that he might descend without the assist- ance of his deceitful friend, the hrass rod. Having safely landed, and still assisted by the steward, he uttered the words, in a very low and plaintive voice, that '* it was von dam nuisance, and he vould not again shail on the vater!" He was in fearful agony, and could not for the world manage to get his legs into his pantaloons without avsistance. This at length was accomplished by the steward, and the Frenchman managed to crawl a few yards from his berth. Among the Cricketers who could not get up at any time during the day, were John Lillywhite, Caffyn, Jackson, and H. H. Ste- phenson, and they were consequently visited, and the renowned fast bowler wished much for a " back door to Ollerton," his residemc in Notts. Caflfyn " would not venture to leave England again, under **any circumstances; if he did, he would forfeit £100; and could *' not understand however he was induced to ride over such waves, and " see no land. Let me once get back to Reigate, (his residence), and " no more water, in order to play Cricket Matches." John Lillywhite was very ill, but quiet in his berth, not being at all talkative ; others were also bad, including Grundy, Lockyer, and Diver, who were seldom seen. Julius Ceesar did not fancy himself so much in the capacity of a sailor as that of a cricketer. Parr, Wisden, Hay- ward. Carpenter, and Fred. Lillywhite were " as being on shore." The latter was invariably on deck, from midnight till eight bells announced four o'clock, a.m. ; when, after partaking of a cup of coffee, either with the first or second mate, he retired to his berth until lunch time. The sea this night was breaking on the deck most fearfully, and for the first time one was reminded, " of a life on the ocean wave." Diver played his part in his usual steady manner, but was not quite " at home," expecting, and, in fact, rather wishing to be *' bowled out." Stephenson was " all abroad," but, never- theless, often paid a visit to " his bunk." Wisden was a thorough sailor, enjoying both meals and his pipe of tobacco; he thought, when at his ineals, that " the waves allowed too much for the break," and Pdrr thought their five ton Leamington roller, and " Charley," with their high priced mare,* might take off the "ridge and ferroll," ♦ " Charley " is their Leamington man— the high priced mare cost 60 (».) '-W 'l! and stop the '• bumping."' Singing wti attempted this, (Friday)/ evening, but owing to the condition of the passengers, most of whom were suffering from sickness, the concert was a failure. The chirping cricketers could neither lift up their heads northeir voices, except in the most plaintive strain. The opposite engraving will repre- sent, as nearly as po88ible,the persons who were sitting in the smoking saloon, on the occasion alluded to, when a storm was raging with all its fury. All the worthy captain's persuasion could not get a ditty, either from Gnmdy, Caffyn, or Carpenter, who possessed the largest amount of vocal talent among the cricketers. SATURDAY, September 10th was a fine morning, and many faces were visible that had not been seen since Thursday. Met this morning, one of the '' renowned party/' at half past eleven, a.m., who, for some unknown cause, had not been seen at the dinner table since Wednesday. We walked arm and arm by way of mutual support, for the ship was pitching most provokingly. In reply to my question, he said, " he had not been at all poorly the evening before, but only went below for the purpose of arranging the contents of his " chest." Ah, you mean " stomach," said I. He then remarked, that he thought I looked white, (my appearance resembling Lockyer's colour in July,) but I expressed my fear that he was going to be ill again ; to which he replied, " do you think so P" and immediately retired to his berth, probably to complete the arrangements of the chest aforesaid. We were this morning doing only six and a half knots, and up to this date Parr, Carpenter, Wisden, Csesar, and Fred. Lillywhite were always seated at the dinner table; others nowhere to be found, only those who still occupied their unenviable seats on deck. Be- tween one and two o'clock the gale abated, and some little time after the wind was more favourable, and the log found us going at Aline knots an hour, having done altogether 560 miles. During the day, all, with the exception of Stephenson, seemed pretty well re- covered, so much so as to venture upon smoking. The captain, ever ready to serve or entertain us, introduced a game called " shuffle- ii_. 'I this, (Friday); , most of whom ).

The carpenter of the ship chalked the deck» as the opposite engraving will shew. , The game is played thus : — At the distance of eight or nine yards the players slide along the deck a piece of solid wood, about the size of a quoit, and those who get 100 up first wins. Many exciting games were played, to the temporary advantage of the officers of the ship, who, from their experience and knowledge of the " roll of the vessel/' had many points in their favor. Matches were made for champagne, — Moet's best, six shillings per bottle. Several games were very exciting, and often caused a large attendance of passen- gers of both sexes to witness the contests. The purser and engin- eer were the two best players. This, Saturday afternoon, rain came on, which drove the players to the " smoking " saloon, kindly placed at our disposal by the captain's orders, with his servant boy, ** Young Irish Jack," to attend upon us. Whist and loo constituted the amusements of the evening. The " Nova Scotian Harmonic Society'' was afterwards effectively established. The smoking saloon was the hatchway, snugly arranged for the purpose ; Mr. W. Nicholson, an elderly and a very witty gentleman, from Sheffield, was unanimously voted as president, and which office he filled with the greatest efficiency. The time of meeting was to be half-past seven o'clock each evening, weathert and stomachs permitting ; a jolly Saturday evening at sea was spent. We drank in the most enthusiastic manner to the health of " wives and sweethearts," and success to the noble ship. A vice-president having been appointed for the meeting Qu Monday evening, the party retired at eleven o'clock to their respective berths. Distance dune during the last twenty-four hours, as per announcement of the log that day, was 160 miles. Much specu- lation took place each day during luncheon, about " setting the log " ; sweeps were got up, and the officers' opinions on the subject were anxiously sought by the " cricketing novices," whose knowledge as to " how the ship was going," was very limited. On . , .^ SUNDAY, September 11. > * " Arrangements had been made for church service, to be performed by the Hon. — Rose, the Solicitor-General of Montreal. A fearful gale 10 however again arose, which precluded the attendance of the passengers. The wind was favourable for Quebec, but it blew a hurricane and rained the whole of the day ; when the ship pitched the screw was out of water, and the passengers were scattered about the deck, resembling, as Lockyer thought, very much '*a floorer at skittles ;*' this occurred so frequently during the day, that the " nines *' would have been quite common. At half past twelve o'clock the log announced that day 235 miles, notwithstanding the fearful rolling and pitching of the noble ship. During tea an exciting scene occurred. Cafl'yn in at- tempting to imbibe the fragrant beverage, had the cup shaken from his hand, and It was soon smashed below, falling over the banisters, with numerous others, amoog the berths. The head of an elderly gentle- man came into such violent contact with a panel as to split it open, not the panel, but the head, he at the same time good humourediy remarking, that his friends would have some reason for saying that he was a little cracked. A passenger on entering the cabin-door seized hold of the first mate's chair, which was fixed ; however, by his weight the chair gave way, and in endeavouring to save himself, he made fast very quickly, owing to a severe roll of the ship, to the captain's chair, placed in a similar position as the chief officer's; this piece of furniture also giving way, the two were dashed against the side of the ship, one being dangerously wounded, and the other very severely bruised. Lurch No. 1 carried away an immense quantity of cups and saucers ; No. 2, caused the violent collision between the two gentle- men above alluded to ; No. 3, cleared off knives, forks, and spoons ; No. 4, plates, dishes, ^c. ; No. 5, pitched some pickled onions, which Jackson was trying to convey to his mouth into his lap ; No. 6, caused a cup of tea, in the waiter's hand, to be deposited in Fred. Lillywhite's lap, having previously destroyed the arrangement of his locks. — [See opposite engraving.] . _ MONDAY, September 12 was a lovely morning, all quite recovered, and did not want to be " at home ;" in fact, they repudiated the idea of being ill, or having been so. A very grand morning for shuffle-board ; the matches made were numerous and interesting ; Lockyer proved a victim ; about 190 B of the passengers.

Shortly after twelve the rain again coming on, put a stop to the play, and the '* talent " retired to the smoking saloon, where whist and loo predominated until the time arrived for the meeting of the Harmonic Society, which was a numerous one. A convivial evening was spent, after a very excellent spread of four courses had been done justice to. The repast was admirably served by the chief steward and his attentive assistants. Mr. Nicholson, the president. Diver, Grundy, and Carpenter were the principal contributors to harmony. The captain honoured the company with his attendance, and the above vocalists were rapturously applauded, so much so that the question of an extra gallery, and charge for admission was mooted by the managers. At the conclusion of the concert, each evening, the captain's health was drank with such evident enthusiasm, as to leave no doubt as to the soundness of the lungs of those present. A similar compliment the officers of the staff had never before witnessed on the briny ocean nor perhaps ever will again. The log to-day shewed 200 miles, having a head wind. On TUESDAY, September 13, the members had sufficiently recovered to call the roll at 9.15. The great Koman commander, Julius Csesar, ordered all to muster, and discharged them for the day. An important shuffle board match was to be played, and several pounds, as well as bottles of champagne depended upon the result. The contest was between the captain of the ship and Fred. Lilly white, against Lockyer and John Lilly white ; a most exciting game ensued ; the purser was sworn in as marker, and the whole of the passengers, including cabin and steerage, were present. The game proceeded, one heading the other, until the marker an- nounced ninety -nine for White, (Captain and F. L.,) and ninety-five for Black. The latter had the last throw, and of course the odds were in their favour, they having the option of displacing their opponent's pieces, which were on the figures. The White side getting a three, caused their score to be 102, but Lockyer for black removed Fred. Lilly- white's piece from the figure 3, and put his, (Lockyer's), partner's 12 in its place, his own piece of wood going on the "10 on." Here a dis- pute arose among the contending parties, as to whether white was not entitled to the game, having first obtained the required number of 100 ; Black, however, contended that their " ten on," was obtained by the three he had made by that throw, but, there being no laws, and the circumstance never having happened before, to the recollec- tion of any of the officers, it was agreed that the four should throw again, which resulted in Lockyer and John Lilly white winning by one only. Shortly after this contest a heavy fog set in, with rain ; in this melancholy condition the fog whistle was sounded every two minutes for the whole day and night. All at dinner to-day ; concert at night. The log shewed that a distance of 192 miles had been accomplished in twenty-four hours. "WEDNESDAY, September 14. The fog was much worse, and the whistle still exercising its disagree able office, to the annoyance of the passengers. The wind was still dead against us, with a heavy sea. Saw an enormous number of porpoises ; " some tarnation good sport, I guess, there would be with a gun," said a Yankee captain, who was also a " tarnation enquirer," being most inquisitive to know everything about the " doings " of the English party, so that he might invest his dollars. The doctor having been taken ill, the unfortunate Frenchman had now to go to him for advice. Distance now done was 1,400 miles. All remarkably well, and most of them were at whist during the afternoon. Log to-day 213 miles. A fearful gale again set in, and lasted through the next day. THURSDAY, September 15. " Dreadful !" says Caflfyn. *' Well, plenty of wind about," says Lockyer, but, ** not much land," replies John Lilly white. Hayward, Parr, and others began to enquire of the captain, very seriously, whether it was really dangerous. During this afternoon Parr had un- fortunately to encounter a kettle of boiling water in the smoking- 1« saloon, which Caesar, owing to a roll of the ship, had accidentally upset, he himself measuring his length on the floor of the cabin, among the glasses of grog, &c. This day will long be remembered by all the Cricketers. The gale commenced about seven o'clock in the morning, and the scene, as represented on the opposite page again oc- curred, and created a hearty laugh among those who were now " har- dened down sailors." The waves were mountains high, and one pas- senger who had crossed the Atlantic sixty times, said he had never ex- perienced it so rough. Again cups and saucers, basins, glasses, knives, spoons, &c., were equally distributed about the saloon, and passengers, were often under the disagreeable necessity of knocking each other down. Two sails were carried away to-day, and it was expected that a number of sailors engaged aloft would also follow. At 11.30, p.m. when all the passengers had retired, the engines were found to be damaged, and they were of course stopped ; this fact, whether in our berths or out, would soon become known and felt by all ; we accordingly made no progress whatever, having a head wind. It was not long before a great many passengers were anxiously making enquiries as to the amount of injury, but no one could get further information than, ** Oh ! merely to try whether she will answer to her sails ;" the trial, however, lasted three hours. Up to twelve o'clock this day we had done, during the twenty- four hours, 250 miles, alto- gether 1,650. We had no concert this evening, being totally unable either to sit, stand, walk, or do anything but to bring one's self to an anchor on deck, and stand the drenching. Some managed by dint of perseverance to remain in the smoking saloon, but the agonising expression of their faces would have been a fortune to Leech. At bed time numerous accidents occurred among the passengers ; one young gentleman especially had the misfortune to break the bridge of his nose, by falling from the top to the bottom of the cabin stairs. The Captain was busily engaged among his men, giving strict orders. FRIDAY MORNING, September 16. There was no improvement in the weather, and nearly the whole of us remained in our berths, for we were so very frequently disturbed in our rest, during the whole of the night, that we were scarcely disposed 14 ' l! to turn out during the day. Towards evening the gale abated ; we had only been doing three knots an hour. We saw during the day an immense quantity of porpoiser, which, by their apparently un- wieldy gambols, caused great amusement. At twelve the log shewed, from the last return, that we had only progressed eighty miles, making altogether, 1730 ; the afternoon was very cold, and was spent at whist. We now began to entertain the expectation of shortly sighting land. Concert in the evening, and all as jolly as sand-boys. Our worthy, respected, and talented president of the Nova Scotian Harmonic Society was in high glee on the occasion of our meeting, and having explained the cause of his absence, which appeared to be totally unavoidable, he immediately took his seat, and harmony was the prevailing feature, *' the Jew in the Corner " was the favourite. About eleven o'clock, p.m., that night, some two or three who remained on deck, had the pleasure, for the first time in their lives, of seeing some icebergs. Notwithstanding that these stuptin'r'ous fabrics were beauti- ful objects for contemplation by day, they weri- particularly awkward customers to come in contact with at night. Though the chief officer himself stood at the bow, with his quick eye watching a-head, twice we came too close to them to be at all pleasant. The northern lights were splendid. On SATURDAY, Tsptember 17, many of the passengers were awoke early in the morning, by the novel and startling cry of" icebergs a-head ! icebergs on the larboard bow!" and, " icebergs on the beam V* and all ran hastily to the deck, and there discovered that they were in the midst of large numbers of them. We had an opportunity of forming an estimate of their size, for a large ship was sailing past one of the latter, and her main-top-gallant- mast only reached one-third the height of the berg. In calculating its total altitude, we did not forget to take into consideration the fact of there being at least eight feet of ice below water, for every foot above ; some navigators go so far as to say there are eleven. [See opposite engraving.] Concert this evening, which lasted until eleven o'clock, when, all but the sleepless ones retired, more particularly as land was expected to be seen in the early hours of the morn of s gale abated; during the Jay apparently un- he log shewed, ' miles, making apent at whist. sighting land.

We were in a fog, but it having at length cleared away, the welcome cry of " land, ho !" sent a thrill to all hearts. We borrowed the chief officer's glass, and saw in the distance the bleak, bluff, inhospitable- looking coast of Newfoundland, with its cliffs, and snow-covered mountains ; this was our first glimpse of land for ten days, and we gazed upon it with rapture. Soon after we doubled Cape Race, and, by and by, the revolving light upon Cape Ray became visible. By seven o'clock in the morning we were off a lovely little island, and could see the green trees waving upon the heights. In another six or seven hours the captain ascertained that he had taken a wrong course, (owing to the fog and the compasses) going up the "White bay," instead of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. By this we lost fourteen hours, about 140 miles. It was, however, a lovely trip, water like a pond ; there were rugged rocks on each side of us, water-falls, and a quantity of bears and wolves. We had arrived within about two miles of the end of the bay, before our error was discovered, we then made a turn round, and enjoyed very much the Sunday afternoon's excursion. All the passengers were in strong force this afternoon, both ladies and gentlemen, and the dinner-table had its full complement — the Cricketers especially doing ample justice to the contents of the table, knowing that all rough usage on the part of the sea was at an end., &nd that having once got the right course, and sighted Belle Isle, V7e should have 700 miles of river and splendid views, among which were conspicuous the White huts of the French settlers. MONDAY, September 19. At three o'clock this morning we sighted the light- house of Belle Isle, and on we steamed at eleven knots an hour. At 6.30 we saluted the wor- thies who officiate in that lovely department. Plenty of icebergs. Passed the North Britain, bound for Liverpool, at five, p.m., another of the company's steamers, distance from us about 100 yards. Three hearty cheers were given from both si>ip8 as we passed, and on the side of the North Britain was written in chalk, " Persia not arrived," This steamer left Liverpool on September 3rd, four days. > " 22 ! •■ CORRECT SCORE PEOM F.

I During the above match two Yankees were heard talking about the play ; one asked the other what he thought of the Eleven. " Oh, they are smart chaps," he replied ; " but I reckon they will find their match at New York." The New York players appeared very confident of beating theEleven, for they were talking about betting 2 and 3 to 1 on themselves. Thebattingof the Montreal Clubwas much better than might have been expected. They play fast bowling well, but we should advise them to practise against the slows a little more, or they will be sure to lose the greater part of their matches ; the fielding was not good, owing, per- haps, to the rough state of the ground, as they seemed to get to the ball well, but could not pick it up clean. Some of therbowling was very good, but we should strongly recommend them first to try to bowl straight, and then put on the pace. Their chief endeavour seems to be to bowl as fast as they can — the very last thing that ought to be done, particularly on a dead ground. The bowling of the Eleven was not up to the mark at any part of the game ; neither Jackson nor CafTyn being on the wicket. The fielding, however, with Lockyer's wicket- keeping, excited the admiration of all spectators, and it is needless to say that the Eleven were delighted at the result. SUPPLEMENTARY MATCH. After the great event was over, another match was commenced, with six of the All England Eleven against Six of the United All England Eleven, with five Canadians on each side. The match was played for the benefit of the English players, and was commenced, although only two overs were bowled when the wet put a stop to the play for that day. Wednesday being also very wet, it was impossible for any play to take place. Thursday was fine. The United won the toss, and sent Caflfyn and Grundy to the wickets, against the bowling of Parr and Jackson. There was some good cricket shown. Wisdea played a good innings, as did also Lillywhite and Carpenter. The Canadians were so pleased with the specimens of cricket they had seen, that they pressed the Eleven to stop another day and go on with the match, which they agreed to do. Some very good play was exhibited on both sides. The United won the match in one innings.

This dinner took place in the St. Lawrence Hotel on Saturday, Sep- tember 24. About one hundred feat down to table. F. G. Johnson, Esq., presided, and A. Heward, Esq., filled the vice- chair. . The band of the 17th Hegiment was present, and during the whole •vening played a number of appropriate airs. . < ,)i I' f 26 After cricketer's justice had been done to the dinner, the cloth was removed, and The Chairman proposed "The Queen." He said that Knglishmon never gave a preface for the Queen. He should therefore simply give " The Queen." ])runk with loud cheers, band playing "God save the Queen." The Vice-president sung " God save the Queen," the whole company joining. The next toast was " His Royal Highneis the Prince Consort and the Royal Family." The Chairman said he should not make a speech to introduce that toast to cricketers, but, like the previous one, simply give it. ,. , Toast drunk with all the honours. Band. The Chairman next proposed "The Governor-General." He said as the hearts of all of them were filled with loyalty, they would drink the toast with enthusiasm. Toast drunk amid loud and continued cheering, and all the honours. The Chairman next gave "The Army and Navy." He said, when the toasts which Englishmen drink first on these occasions were disposed of, they are succeeded by one that is always received with great enthusiasm. The previous ones have required no comment from me, and I am sure that this one will not either. It is not for me to extol their achievements, they are known to all wherever civilization prevails. Drunk with all the honours. - • The Chairman next gave the toast of " Our Guests.*' He said, in giving the toast of the Queen, I promised you to be as brief as pos- sible. I have, I think I may venture to say, adhered to that promise. But an occasion now presents itself when it will be vpi*y difficult indeed to carry out that promise. I do not propose to make you a long speech — nothing could be less acceptable than such a speech, and yet it is very difficult to resist the gratification of attempting to express the pleasure I really feel — which all here feel — in having the " Elevens" of Old England — (cheers) — the " Elevens" of England, I say, dining with DS in Montreal for the first time, and not only with us for the first time, but the first time they have ever dined together on this continent^ 27 cloth was nglishmcn imply give » Queen." e company onsort and ke a speech one, simply lie said as Id drink the he honours. > said, when Bisions were ceived with mment from ot for me to civilization He said, in Ibrief as pos- Ihat promise.

And none, I trust, will forget to whom we owe this pleasure — to whofc exertions are mainly due this great event in our Montreal existence. It is not necessary to name to you the name of the caplain of your cricket club here in Montreal; it is not necessary to name the name of Pickering — (loud chcrrs) — nor that you should he made aware that he it is who has the honour of having originated thia project, and of having carried it out with a degree of ability in detail only equalled by the original thought itself. Now, gentlemen, this is not vain and inflated language. I have lived in Montreal for twenty- two years, and I may say that, apart from some very small attempts at playing on St. Helen's Island, I waa a member of the very first cricket club ever got up in Montreal. And I know that if even five or six yeara ago wc had talked of getting out the Eleven of All England to play a match on Canadian ground, we should have been laughed to scorn. Therefore, there is due to Mr. Pickering a very great deal of credit for having originated the project and so successfully carried it through tOv its fulfilment. (Hear, hear.) I will not attempt to draw a picture of the merits of cricketing, because that is a very trite theme — one that may be seen in any newspaper — one on which all have written and spoken, who have written or spoken at all on the subject of cricketing* You all know what Englishmen are capable of, what they have done, and what they can do. And this, I say, is attributable in no slight measure to the cricket field and the hunting ground, the rivers whereon the youth of England row, the fields wherein they play cricket, and the. glorious country through which they ride. Boys are taught upon the playground to be gentlemen in the highest acceptation of the word ; they are not taught to be gentlemen in the sense of a class as distin- guished from other classes, but in the highest sense of the word — that is to say, in the sense of superiority in morals and in conduct, and in carrying out that great rule in life, " to do to others as you would be done by." (Cheers.) This teaching, which makes cricketers, the sons of plain artisans, entitled to sit with us, and according to which., teaching they are received by us with the right hand of fellowship as our equals — that teaching, I say, is no unimportant part of the educa-% tion of a gentleman. I have said that I *vould not attempt to extol the^ manly game of cricket, but there are some thoughts which strike me in. •i^ 28 \ iv I f 111- iti, tonnection with it. 'We live in a country, one of the most glorious dependencies of the British Crown, in which are numerous varieties of races, of creeds, of opinions, of matters political, commercial, and otherwise. May not a lesson be learned from the game in which you have this day been engaged — a lesson of moderation, a lesson of good sense ^ May we not be taught that thx°re may be differences without animosity, emulation without enmity — that people tnay rival each other hot only in cricket, but in all other pursuits of life, and be like brothers, and remain so. I hope that the Eleven of England, when they go home, may be able to give a good account of the country ; that, with the exception of the weather, which has been so disagreeable since their arrival, and has prevented them from travelling as much as they desirsd, they may be able to v. press themselves pleased with their reception here. And I hope they will take home with them the desire which I feel, and express on your behalf and my own, that they may Consider themselves not strangers to us, but as if they were our own brothers, and of the some flesh and blood, as in reality they are. But I hope that there is one thing that they will not be able to say when they go home. They have amongst them a martial gentleman, one who could speak in a martial manner — Julius Csesar. And I hope that, unlike the Koman chief, he will not have it to say, on his return to his own country, ** Veni, vidi, vici,'* (Loud cheers.) Toast drunk with all honours and loud cheering, which continued for some time. ' Mr. Carpenter sang '* When first I went to sea." • Mr. George Parr rose and briefly replied. ' The Chairman then called upon "Wisden for a toast, who rose and briefly made allusion to the spirit exhibited by the Lower Canadians in inviting them out to this country. He merely proposed the health of Mr. Pickering. The toast was drank with Highland honours, and loud and con- tinued cheering. Mr. Pickering responded. He said he must thank them heartily for the manner in which th«»y had drank his health. The person who de- served all the credit for bringing about the match was one well known to all present, but to many he was a man in every sense of the word— • ir liii 29 ontinued for a Christian of the most philanthropic views. He alluded to Mr. Wilder, Without taking up any further time, he would return thanks for the honour they had done hira. If the Montreal Cricket Club had done anything, it was owing to the aid they had received from the citizens of Montreal, who came forward with great spirit when they were, appealed to, and lent, with great liberality, a helping hand. He con- cluded by proposing the health of the Chairman. (Loud cheers.) Mr. Johnson, in reply, stated that the toast was so unexpected that he could scarcely respond to it. They could not expect, however, that he would enlarge upon such a theme as himself. In his youth he had been a cricketer, and had ever cherished a love for the noble game ; but now, owing to his professional avocations, he could not indulge in it. He would tell them something that perhaps they had not heard of. Some time since he had the honour of being the Governor of the Red River Settlement — a settlement founded by the energy of Englishmen, and the capital of the Hudson's Bay Company. Perhaps they would be astonished to hear him state that even in that distant settlement they had a cricket club. He recollected that on the starting of the club there they had no bat or ball. However, with the assistance of a carpenter and shoemaker, these were soon manufactured, and many capital games ensued. Every fine afternoon it used to be customary to play. He had this day received intelligence from Red River, to the effect that the game was still kept up with the usual spirit. He would not be surprised if, in ten years hence, the All England Eleven played a game with the inhabitants of Red River. (Loud and continued cheers.) He had been ridiculed once at that place, because he said that next year a steamboat would arrive there. Strange to say, his words "Were fulfilled. He concluded by wishing them many a happy game of cricket. Mr. Wisden proposed the health of Mr. Daly. (Cheers, and drunk with cheers.) Mr. Daly replied in a very happy mannt»r, thanking the gentleman who had proposed his health for the very flattering encomiums he had passed upon his playing that day. He esteemed it ;?.. honour to play with the English Eleven, and he looked upon the match between the clubs as an object not to be obliterated from his memory. He had tried ni ■111 I •I! 11!' M 'S w ii , '! j \ \ \ \ I n r 1 1 1 1 1 ^0 tb do bis best, and bad not expected to play in sucb circumstances. He could say that the Montrealers had done far better than they ex- pected to do before the match commenced. (Cheers.) ' Other toasts were proposed, and the conviviality was kept until twelve o'clock, when the company dispersed. SATURDAY, October Ist. f -.• ' ' • ' ■■ ■■ .■ . ,.i.^ Up to Friday evening, September 30tb, we made the Montreal cricket ground our rendezvous, and on the next morning at six o'clock started for . , ; NEW YORK, under the careful guidance of Messrs. Pickering and Baker, who had made all necessary arrangements with theliailway Company, for the pur- pose of securing our arrival safe in that city, but v;hich was not accom- plished until alter frequent changing and shifting from cars of onle Com- pany to those of another, causing considerable inconvenience, as the bag- gage had also to be removed, which was not effected in the most careful pianneVf especially the box on wheels, containing Lillywhite's Printu," Tent, which apparatus was as often on the top end as on its wheels. Thus, after a most tiresome journey, (not rendered more endurable by the incivility of the company's porters), we reached Albany, where the "New World" river-boat was awaiting our arrival. Every civility was, however, shown us, upon reaching the territories of the United States, by the custom-house officers, in consequence of the baggage being marked " Cricketers of England." The distance from the station at Albany to the river is upwards of a mile, and the road being very bad, we experienced considerable difficulty in conveying our baggage, which, however, was eventually carried to the boat- side, and safely put on board. The portmanteaus and hatboxcs gave untnistakeable proof of the severe bruises they had encountered during the one mile of conveyance. It was the greatest wonder in the world that Lilly's box wa^ not smashed all to pieces, a fate which would certainly have happened to it, had it not been for his own interference ^nd bustling. The luggage was thrown about in the most reckless and shameful manner, and we are only surprised that the authorities allow ach circumstances. !tter than they ex- I.) :-^-- ■■■.

Having at last boarded the "New World," and having secured our bedroom key for one dollar each, we at length found ourselves below, where were numerous black waiters, serving up what they termed " chops ! " There were upwards of four hundred passengers on board, sitting in all postures. We made a start on the Saturday evening, at eight o'clock, and, after a night's travelling on the river, we arrived at New York at fceven o'clock, on Sunday morning — the river-boat representing something similar to the opposite sketch. It was ten o'clock ere we arrived at the Astor House, a distance of 450 miles from Montreal. No arrangements were made for our arrival — probably from the want of information as to the time and manner of our anival. The day was a lovely one, and during the after- noon we visited the Hoboken ground. The hotel was full, and great excitement prevailed the whole of the day. Upwards of two thousand persons were on the ground on Sunday afternoon ! MONDAY, October 18th. ELEVEN OF ENGLAND V. TWENTY-TWO OF THE UNITED STATES. ' The above match, under the able management of the St. George's Cricket Club, was began this morning, the weather being all that a cricketer could desire. At 10 o'clock, a.m., an "immense stir" was observable at the Astor House, where thousands had assembled, in order to have a peep at the " English champions." Shortly afterwards we were informed by the president of the club — Mr. Waller — that all was in readiness to be conveyed to the ground. Accordingly, the Cricketers made their appearance on the steps of the hotel, and imme- diately they were most enthusiastically received, and loudly cheered, by the multitude, as they wended their way down the steps towards the " four-in-hand" prepared for their reception ; the horses were beautifully decorated with the American and English flaps, as well as a multiplicity of flowers. We crossed the ferry without alighting, and soon found ourselves on the ground at Hoboken, where, at that early hour, were upwards of five thousand sjpectators. The preparations for 32 the convenience of the public were on the grandest scale imaginablei and evidently had involved an immense outlay. The ground had only been newly laid in the spring, and was therefore not in such good order as is requisite to play the game as it should be played. The English party received every courtesy, and were immediately conducted to a marquee erected for them, where, after the wickets had been decidedly arranged upon, the toss for the choice of innings was effected. England won, but in consequence of the deadness of the ground, and the almost certainty of improvement, they decided to put their oppo- nents in first. We cannot enlarge upon the play, as we saw but little worthy of notice. Scarcely any tolerable batting on the part of the Twenty-two was exhibited, which appeared to, and probably did, arise more from nervousness than any other cause. England, too, showed but little cricket, owing to the somewhat reckless style of the American bowling, though their " hitting," in some cases, was brilliant, especially that of Hayward and Carpenter. John Lillywhite was unable to play, in consequence of a bad hand, which he hadgreatly injured while obtaining his long score at Montreal ; and he therefor? officiated as umpire. It appeared to us that it was pretty evident that the gathering of about 25,000 spectators on the ground, was not caused by any public <)e&ire for triumph on either side, but that those who attended each day seemed to be simply actuated by curiosity as to the manner of play- ing the game of cricket, with a natural desire to see the men who had accomplished so long a journey, and become so famous as 4)layers in England. Thus far, they effected their purpose; the ground, and the want of more talent opposed to them, however, prevented the Eleven from exhibiting that masterly display which they have so frequently- shown in all parts of England. We may also add that, owing to the excellent arrangements made by the pianaging committee, the most perfect order prevailed, so that the spectators experienced none of the regrets Ahat are too common at meetings of large assemblies. Should the States be fortunate enough to secure a first-class bowler, there will be no difficulty in bringing forward cricketers ; but until then, we can offer them little hope on that score. The weather throughout was beautiful, and it wa,s, consequently, agreed that another match should he commenced on the l^hursday; for the benefit of the English players.

We had, however, among us our excellent " guide," Mr. Baker, of Ottawa, who had never flioched from his work from the time we landed at Quebec ; he was ever ready to lend one assistance, and we sincerely trust that he may afiford us an opportunity of returning his kindness by paying an early visit to Old England. A more enthusiastic and true lover of the noble game of cricket never existed. AVe have now before us his original notes and figures, as scored in Lillywhite's Registered Scoring J5oo7w,* which was placed in his (Mr, Baker's) hands for the purpose, A somewhat singular incident occm-red in this match — Carpenter being caught off a "coide ball," erroneously called by the States umpire. According to some of our best judges in England, he should have been given " out," but it was decided, at the time, that he was " not out," and he consequently remained. f In order to publish the whole particulars of what took place during our absence from England, we give the score of the "Benefit Match,'* which the Philadelphians had so kindly arranged on behalf of the English Cricketers. It was five of the North and five of the South of England, assisted by six Americans on each side. The score stood thus : — * F.

Of this journey we are unible to report very favourably, as it was both tedious and disagreeable. Change of cars occurred at almost every stopping place, and nothing was forthcoming to satisfy the inntr man until we reached the village of Avon, at 8h 30m on Sunday morning, where a hurried breakfast was provided. On our arrival at Buffalo, we found the train for the Falls had departed, and we had therefore no other resource but to take a land cou^oyancc for the Falls, if we desired to keep our engagement at Hamilton, and see anything of the world-renowned Niagara. The 22 miles between Buffalo and the Falls were crossed in five hours! and by tea-time we found ourselves safely housed in the International Hotel, on the American side, which is, without doubt, the finest hotel we have yet visited. Here, to our great delight, we met Mr. Pickering again. Our detention at Buffalo deprived us of much anticipated pleasure in viewing this celebrated wonder of nature. We nevertheless spent all our spare moments on Monday morning in seeing the more prominent points of interest on the American side, but unfortunately our time did not permit us to visit the Canada side. Having thus spent three hours (from six to nine, a.m.) at the Falls, we were compelled to leave for Hamilton, C.W., and at 10 a.m. we passed over the wonderful Niagara Sus- pension Bridge, which spans the river about two miles distance below the Falls. It is a noble arid stupendous structure, and the work of Mr. John A. R. Iloebling, of Trenton, New Jersey, being com- menced in 18o2. Formerly the bridge here was of much smaller dimensions. It was begun in 1849, by Mr. Charles Elliot, who first crossed it in an iron basket, slung under a single cable of iron wire. Afterwards, many people crossed it in this way, being let down the incline, and drawn up on the opposite side by a windlass. While six workmen were employed on the footi)ath of this bridge, a terrific gale burst upon them, tore the planks away, and left four of their number clinging to two thin wires, which swung fearfully to and fro, while the whirling rapids raged beneath them ; the other two escaped on fragments of board to the shore. A brave comrade descended in the 46 „. L bnskct (luring a lull in the pale, and by means of a ladder rescued his companions from their awful position. This basket is still preserved on the Canada side. The bridge, of which we give an engravings is of enormous strength, and forms a communication between Canada and the States, over which the cars of the Great Western and the New York Central Railway Companies run without enusing the slightest vibration. The cost of its construction was oOO,(){)0 dollars (more than £100,000 sterling). Steam carriages first crossed on March 8, 18o5. The road for carriages is suspended 28 feet bilow the railway line. The following statistics of this enormous bridge will, no doubt, be interesting :~-The height of the towers on the American side is 88 feet ; those on the Canada side are 78 feet high; length of bridge is 800 feet', width, 21 feet; height above the river, 250 feet ! There are four enormous wire cables, each of about 10 inches diameter, which contain 4,000 miles of wire, and the ultimate capacity of the four cables is about 12,400 tons! The total weight of the bridge is 800 tons, and it combines, in an eminent degree, strength with elegance of structure. Our engraving is from a photograph. In two hours, or a little more, we were welcomed to Hamilton by an immense crowd — all eager to see " those who had come from England," and had so recently beaten with ease three successive Twenty-twos, with every apparent probability of adding a fourth victory to tliat number. The sight at the station we can scarcely describe. It was well known, for many miles around, that we could arrive by no other train than this, and it was with great difficulty we could emerge from our cars to get out of the station. Upon our arrival over the suBpension bridge (where all the baggage is examined), we received the greatest courtesy from the Custom-house authorities, which the English party did not fail to appreciate. We should have liked to have made our special acknow- ledgments to our " worthy friend," but time would not permit of asking even a question, especially as the printing apparatus was left behind at Buffalo, although expected to join us at this spot. In this, however, we were disappointed, and were obliged to proceed without it; no printing, consequently, could take place at Hamilton. ler rescued his still preserved 1 enjfravirgi is Iween Caiinda stern nnd tlic ; cnusinp the 00,000 dollars st cross(d on 28 feet bi-low irmous bridge le towers on 3e are 78 feet height above ) cables, each I of wire, and 10 tons !

Unlike some of the bright days enjoyed in the cities of Montreal, New York, and Philadelphia, the weather in Hainillon was cold and threatening ;' so much so, that grave doubts were entertained of the game proceeding ; bnt, in spite of this state of affairs, we got to work at 3 p.m. England having won the toss, took the field. The wickets were very fair, but owing to the wretched state of the weather, a great deal of rain having fallen in the night, they did not play as well as we anticipated. On TUESDAY, October 18, the weather was worse, if possible, being showery and extremely cold, and therefore but little cricket con be chronicled. An immense assemblage, however, were in attendance, and, notwithstanding the weather, the scene was far more lively than one could possibly have expected. The printing tent was visible this morning, and excited much public attention when the statement of the game was issued from the press. Messrs. Pickering, Dykes, and Gillcspy played exceedingly well for their respective scores of 10, 10, and The wicket-keeping of Lockyer — as in all the previous matches — was quite astonishing, exceeding, if possible, anything that he has accomplished in England; he was frequently applauded, and such was the effect of his performances upon the spectators, it was not helie.red, hy many^ that the ball had ever been delivered^ and returned to thfi howler again ! ! WEDNESDAY, October 19. No improvement in tiie weather, except, indeed, that it was some- what colder. It will be seen by the subjoined score, that the Twenty- two put the Eleven in for 41 runs, which was accompli(«hed by the two first wickets — Jackson and Cafllyn — they thus proving victorious by nine wirkcta, and deciding numerous bets made in England with regard to the Eleven winning all their four matches, for which pur- pose they left this country.

Some cricket, this day, was attempted for a Benefit Match, but the weather bein^^ intensely cold, the play excited so little interest, that the game was, consequently, discontinued. Amidst the hearty cheers) the Haaiiltonians, the English party left that evening for Rochester^ U.S., where, after travelling 210 miles, they arrived on FRIDAY MORNING, October 21. This was an extra match, and arranged at New York, but not being included in the number which the Eleven undertook to piay, it was of course neceasary to obtain thu permission of the parties by whom they had been engaged. Immense excitement prevailed, but owing to the con- tinued coldness of the weather little could be done in the shape of showing what cricket was ; in fact, the umpire ought to have pronounced it as unfit for playing the game. Great preparations had been made and the expenses of the contest were borne by a few spirited gentlemen 60 connected with the club. The match, however, from this cause, was a failure, and proved, we fear, a heavy loss to the promoters. This day| the Eleven got the Twenty two out for 39 runs, themselves only losing | two wickets for 35 runs. On -. I SATURDAY, October 22, no play took place, owing to a heavy fall of snow, but a game of base- ball was got up among the players of that game and a portion of the English party, and which took place on the base-ball ground, about a mile from the cricket ground. The latter is situated about two miles from the town, and had been enclosed at a great expense, for the occasion. The base-ball game is somewhat similar to the English game of *' rounders,'' as played by school-boys ; but the judgment displayed by the base-ball players was especially conspicuous over that of the English cricketers, who, no doubt, however, would soon have been able to compete with their more experienced opponents at their " own game." CafFyn played exceedingly well, but the English thought catching the ball the first bound a very childish game. SUNDAY, October 23. The whole of the party made a trip of 140 miles to the Niagara Falls and back, where they spent the Sunday, and were thus enabled to repair their previous disappointment by visiting the Falls on the Cana- dian side. The Falls may be justly classed among the wonders of the world. They are the pride of America, and unequalled in magnitude and grandeur by any other known cataract. It is impossible to describe the delightwith which the Eleven gazed upon that tumultuous crash of water. The Horse Shoe, or Canadian Fall, is 2000 feet wide, and 154 feet high. The roar of the Falls can, it is said, be heard occasionally at a distance of twenty miles, but that must, of course, depend upon the direction and strength of the wind. The mist has been seen nearly fifty miles off. Over this magnificent precipice the irresistible tide rushes at the rate of one hundred million tons of water every hour! The stream here is about three-quarters of a mile wide, and it was close to this spot that Blonden went over on a rope in the presence of thousands of spectators* from this cause, was a promoters.

A charge of twenty- five cents is made as you enter the toll on the Island, and each visitor has his name entered in a book, after which he is en- titled to pass as often as he pleases during the year. The Terrapin Tower, 45 feet high (see engraving of the Horse Shoe Fall), commands a mag- nificent view of Niagara, and where will be found, cut out, the names of nearly all the PZnglish cricketers. Having thus seen all that could be seen in the time allotted to us, we returned, per rail, to Rochester. The day was beautifully fine, and never will October the 23rd be for- gotten by the Cricketers of England. MONDAY, October 24, the match was resumed, but the weather was unniistakeably cold. The score will show that, on TUESDAY, October 25, the match was brought to a conclusion in favour of England in one innings and 68 runs — thus winning all the matches played. This Twenty-two was a mixture of players of the States and Canada, many of whom had before met the Eleven in their previous contests. The match, therefore, was entitled " Twenty-two of the United States and Canada." Hayward and Carpenter again exhibited a good display of batting, as they had done in previous matches, and it will be seen that the slow bowling of Wisden was very destructive. The players had to- field in muflFs and greatcoats, and such was the cold they could scarcely feel the handle of the bat, or know whether they had fielded the ball or not ; indeed, such cricketing weather, had never before been experienced. It was really like playing a match in the depth of winter ; and the batsman very appropriately exclaimed, when his wicket was lowered by a ball from Wisden's end — " Shiver my timbers, I 'm out." The most agreeable innings on such a day could only be obtained in-doors with a hot dinner before you, and a bottle of old Port to follow- We now append the score of this " Frosty Match," but not without expressing the hope that we may never witness such another : — E 2 52 M 1 ' CORRECT SCORE PROM F.

I According to good judges of the game present, the English cricketers |played remarkably well, and Lockyer's playing " behind the bat *' Icould not have been surpassed. At the conclusion of the game, the >whole party made way that evening for Montreal. We arrived at me on Jg~^ I d4 WEDNESDAY MORNING, October 2G, at half-past two o'clock, a distance of 145 miles, and soon found that, " when at Rome you must do as Kome does." We immediately ad- journed to the American Hotel, where we were greeted with the not very pleasing intelligence that there were "no beds". The p iexed engraving will represent the Cricketers during their four hours' stay, awaiting a train for Cape St. Vincent, from whence wc proceeded in a river boat, going up a canal cut for the purpose, and just about the width of the boat itself. We soon arrived at Kingston, a magnificent view of which place we obtained on the water, previous to getting to the wharf. The scene at Rome was a most uncomfortable but laughable one; some were lying on the floor, with portmanteaus and carpet-bags for pillows, and a rug or a great-coat for a covering. In this manner the Cricketers of England were dispersed over all parts of the office. The landlord of the hotel was exceedingly obliging and attentive, and did as much for us as these circumstances admitted, for although he had no sleeping accommodation he gave us a good breakfast before , starting at six o'clock. We arrived at Cape St. Vincent, from whence we proceeded to Kingston, where we ascertained that the train to Montreal was then due at the station, nearly four miles distant. Mr. Baker and others instantly proceeded to the station per trap, for the purpose, if possible, of stopping the train until the enor- mous quantity of baggage could be got across. By the extreme kind- ne^3S of Mr. J. Thompson, the civil and obliging conductor on the Grand Trunk Railway Company, this was effected, the train being kept waiting an hour, during which time Messrs. Pickering, Diver, and F. Lillywhite were (very disagreeably) in charge of a "dray" load of baggage. This was a Aarful task to perform. The dust was ankle- deep, and the baggage not being strapped, portmanteaus, bags, hat-boxes, &c., were continually tumbling off the said *' dray" into the road. With one on each side and the other behind the "brewer's dray," we managed to arrive at the railway station, so much fatigued as to be almost ready to drop, and literally covered with dust. Our appearance caused much merriment among the passengers — as well as our own party — as we stepped foot on the platform; but had we not persevered we should hav( 2G. soon found that, immediately ad- etcd with the not i".

The engraving will represent the difficulties in crossing from Kint^ston Wharf to the Railway Station, with pickets in charge of baggage — the train waiting for the same. We were now fairly en route for Montreal, which we reached shortly after ten o'clock that night, not at all sorry to again encounter the hospitality at the St. Lawrence Hall. THURSDAY, October 27, was spent in settling and arranging matters — such as getting rid of the American coin for English, packing up, and preparing for the voyage home, &c. &c. FRIDAY, October 28. A portion of the party went to the steeple-chases, at which the Governor- General (the Hero of Kars) with his suitfe were present. One of the proprietors of the St. Lawrence Hall rode and won a race. The weather was very cold, and the Canadian winter, in this quarter, evidently setting in. At ten o'clock, p.m., we started per rail for Quebec, where we arrived at six o'clock in the morning. Went im- mediately across to the tug awaiting passengers for the North BritoUf Capt. M*Master, where all safely arrived, to again encounter the "deep, deep sea." A great many officers from the garrison were present, to Ijid us farewell, and at ten o'clock, on SATURDAY, October 29, we weighed anchor, and made amove for Old England. Of course every- thing was pleasant and comfortable until we got out of the 700 miles of river. About 200 miles up the river we met the Nova Scotian, which had taken us out, and as we all felt assured that the officers and crew, and probably many of the passengers, would be anxious to know the result of our matches — for they only knew of the first one — Capt. M'Mastcr very kindly gave directions for a large board to be brought on deck, on which was chalked in large letters, " Won all matches." This announcement was read as we passed that noble ship, and followed with deafening cheers from all on board of her. Capt. Boreland, Mr. Macdonald, the purser, ar d others, were distinctly seen on the bridge, waving their caps in honour i il. ■ 56 of our success. We responded , by giving them such hearty cheers as only can proceed from English throats. Thus we parted ; the opposite engraving represents the interesting and exciting scene. We went on charmingly until November 3, when in the evening of that day we had again to encounter the " bumpy" ground, which evidently had not been rolled since we left it two months previously. The weather continued fearfully bad — worse than that we experienred in our voyage over — until Sunday, November 6, when the sea lowered about 12 o'clock a.m., but still a head wind. It was, however, only for a short time that the gale subsided, when it came with more terrific force. Poor Caffyn ! Away goes the jib-boom ! We very much lament to state that during this gale a sad accident occurred, which resulted in the death of a poor sailor, 63 years of age. lie died from the injuries that he then received as we were making fast at Liverpool Dock. Captain M'Master, with the sfcond mate, Mr. Cain, were, with the crew, all forward, in order to save the broken jib-boom from getting entangled with the screw. Fre- quently the whole body of them were under the gigantic waves, but still the work was to be done, although, unhappily, it could not be accomplished without the loss of life. A sea lifted one of the immense anchors, at the same time knocking the poor fellow underneath it, thus crushing both legs, breaking them across the calves. With all the attention the doctor could bestow, he was never restored to consciousness, and lingered only till we reached England. Whilst the poor sufferer lay in this hopeless state, a subscription was started by Fred. Lillywhite, who, with the able assistance of the Cricketers, the purser, and the passengers generally, collected a sum of £30 16s. One gentleman — Mr. Hodges — gave a handsome donation of twenty dollars ; Capt. M'Master, £1 ; Col. Weston, 10s. ; Mr. A. Fitzgerald, lOi'. ; Mrs. Cunningham, 14s.; Col. Muter, 10s.; Rev. Mr. Usburne, 10s. ; Mr. Samuels, 7s. Gd., and sundry sums of five shillings by Messrs. Thomas Knowles, Brand, Hignet, D. Gibb, J. Johnson, and the English Cricketers. By permission of the captain, r. Lillywhite, with the kind co-operation of the steward, also arranged a concert, to take place in the saloon, of which the following is a programme : — ■ , leartv cheers parted ; the 5 scene, ^e ening of that lich evidently viously.

The musical talents of Mr. Samuels and his brother performers were prominently brought forward, and were so highly appreciated that a considerable addition towards the total amount of the subscription Vf&s realized. Each of the officers and crew gave a day's pay, and some more. We find, in the ship's company, Mr. Cain, the experienced and attentive second mate, gave 10*. ; Mr. Graham, chief officer, 5*. ; Messrs. Naite and M'Donald, third and fourth mates, 5«. each ; Mr. J. Bo(;g, carpenter, 5s. ; Mr. W. Hatter, quarter-master, 5a. ; Messrs. Gell and Ross, 5s. each. In the engineering department, Mr. Koss, the first engineer, contributed 10s. ; the second, third, and fourth, a9 well as Mr. M'Dougal (boiler), 5«. each. In the steward's depart- ment, Mr. Newlands, the obliging purser, gave 10». ; Mr. Dolan, chief steward, Qs. Sd. ; Mr. Watsen, 1st. cook, 5s. 4d. ; and the remaining officers and crew, a day's pay. So far was the poor widow relieved, when the touching scene occurred of her coming to the ship's side to meet her husband on his return. » . It was not until the arrival of the pilot on board that we were first informed of the dreadful disaster that had befallen the Roi/al Charter, mm I III 58 and which intelligence created such universal consternation as to supersede the remfrabrance of our own hardships. As we v^ere in sight of the Liverpool lights we weut aground, in attempting to come over the bar at the entrance of the Mersey, but fortunately that difficulty was soon surmounted by the energy of the captain, pilot, officers, and crew, and we landed on the wharf at Liver- pool shortly before twelve o'clock, on Friday night, November H, and three or four of the Cricketers were foremost in following the mail bags, and soon madq their appearance at the George Hotel, after tele- graphing to their respective families at home. The distance we had travelled was as follows : — Miles. London to Liverpool. 200 Liverpool to Quebec (not including going up the White Bay alluded to) 2,600 Quebec to Montreal , 171 Montreal to New York 430 New York to Philadelphia 90 Philadelphia to Niagara Falls 460 The Falls to Hamilton 67 Hamilton to Rochester 210 Sunday's Trip to the Falls from Rochester 140 Rochester to Rome , ....• 146 ^ Rome to Montreal 100 Montreal to Quebec 171 Quebec to Liverpool 2,600 Liverpool to London 200 7,364 Altogether, in round numbers, about 7,500 miles, from the T'th of September to November 11 — a little more than two months. Although the whole of the Cricketers have abundant reason to be satis- fied with their trip, both as regards the treatment they met with at the hands of their American brethren and the triumphant results of their several matches, not to nfiention their pecuniary remuneration, which was was " all " they could expect, it is a very great question whether some of their number could be persuaded again to undergo the suffer- ing and inconvenience consequent upon such a voyage. 59 ation as to aground, in Mersey, but ?nergy of the larf at Liver- mber H, and ing the mail ;1, after tele- 200 ,600 171 430 90 450 67 210 140 145 ' 100 171 ,500 200 )m the 7th of ths. son to be satis^ ^et with at the jsulta of their |eration, which >stion whether Irgo the suffer- ^e following will give a brief summary of the results of the five matches : — Time and Place, September 24.

By means of telegraphic despatches, and announcements by the* "press/* the British public were speedily apprized that tVic North Briton had arrived with her cargo, and by Satunlay evening the Cricketers had safely reached their respective homes, but not until Grundy had sustained a slight detention by the custom-house autho- rities, who, evidently, were totally ignorant that they were detaining one who had just assisted, with others, in doing so much honor to his^ country. The circumstance, however, occasioned only a short delay, and arose from his being in possession of a little extra "weed," to enjoy by the fireside, whilst relating some of his American adventures. THE DINNER AT GODALMING. On Thursday, December 8, owing to the great interest that had been felt by the whole cricketing fraternity in the contests laid before the reader in this volume, and in which the native pluck and skill of our English players was put to the test, it was decided to celebrate the return of the Southern cricketers in a public manner, and to congratu- I late them upon the laurels they had won from their transatlantic rivaU. A committee was accordingly appointed, under the management of Messrs. Challen, Colpas, and A. Whitbourne, who no sooner had placed a paper in the Public Hall, at Godalming, than it received the names of Henry Marshall, Esq. (the true lover and liberal supporter of the game, and the worthy President of the Surrey County Cricket Club), F. Yate, Esq., the Mayor ; H. Boker, Esq., Ed. Eager, Esq, Murray and Alex. w^ eo Marshall, Esqts., &c. The President afterwards sewt intitationB to the following : — John and V. E. Walker, Escira., W. Burriip, Esq. (Hon* Sec. to the Surrey County Club), John Burrup, Esq., E. W. Napper, Esq.; as well as Wisden and John and Fred. Lillywhitc (as Americans), the former, however, was unable to attend, owing to indisposition. The remainder of the Surrey Eleven were also invited, including Mort- lock, T. Sewell, jun., Griffith, and J. Csesar. F. P. Miller, Esq., was absent from unavoidable circumstances. It is, perhaps, scarcely necessary to add, the four Surrey "cracks" vrere Lockyer, Caffyn, H. H. Stephenson, and Julius Caesar. > The dinner took place at the Assembly Room, King's Arms, which was decorated in a very tasteful and appropriate style. The walls were adorned with laurel leaves and bannerets ; on one side of the chair < stood the Union Jack, and on the other the stars and stripes of the United States, whilst between them was placed a cleverly-executed design, star-shaped, composed of bats, balls, wicket?, and other cricket accoutrements ; across the centre of the room were suspended flags and festoons, interwreathed with the motto, " Welcome." Upwards of 120 sat down, under the able presidency of Henry Marshall, Esq., Captain Alexander Marshall filling the vice- chair. After thanks for the repast, the Chairman rose and gave •' the Queen, God bless her." (applause.) In proposing ** the Prince Consort, the Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family," the Chairman remarked that the Prince of Wales had joined a cricket club, and he hoped that his Koyal Highness "would become a member of the Surrey club (cheers.) The Chairman next gave *' the Army and Navy," observing that when they knew how brilliant were their achievements in other parts of the world, they might conceive of the bravery with which they would defend this land in case of invasion, aided as they would be by the militia and the gallant volunteers who were coming forward so readily in the service of their country (applause.) The ** health of the Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese " was then proposed by the Chairman, and he remarked that the Bishop supported cricket, and many of the clergy also favoured the game, and he wished •ome of them were present on that occasion (hear, hear.) 61 itions to the Esq.

The Chairman then requested the company to fill their glasses for a bumper, and proceeded to introduce the toast of the evening. He said — I have to propose to you the health of those gallant men who went across the Atlantic, in its most boisterous state, and travelled seven thousand five hundred miles, to exhibit to our American brethren the scientific, manly, and energetic game of cricket (applaure.) After landing they had to take a long railway journey, nnd on their arrival in Canada they were received most generously. The next morning they had to enter the cricket field, and I expect were physically not quite in that comfortable state in which they had frequently entered the cricket fields in England. However, they conquered, ajid not thQ slightest jealousy was exhibited on the part of their brother subjects, the Canadians, but on the contrary, their welcome continued equally strong, and their departure was very much regretted. From Canada they went into the United States — to New York, where they were ulso generously received and hospitably entertained. Some allowance had to be made there for the rivalry which exists between the Statea and England, and it is not very surprising that the people who fancy they can speak English better than the inhabitants of this country themselves, should have expected that they were not much inferior in the game of cricket, and when they had such enormous odds as twenty., two to Eleven they had no doubt of victory. But the result waa different ; the English were successful as you know, and they woa every match afterwards (cheers). They returned to England where their presence was most heartily welcomed. In America they had the opportunity not only of showing them good play, but also of seeing some of the greatest wonders of the world. Still, I am inclined to believe, they were extremely happy when they returned to Old England, and I do not think the comfort and institutions of this country have suffered much by comparison with those of the United States (applause). However I do trust that the very circumstance of going over there and cultivating a love for an object upon which both people can concentrate their attention^ and wloiich each had pleasure •li 1^- 62 in looking at, will conduce to the existence of peace among us, and I do hope it will prevail (cheers.) If ever the Americans come to exhibit their prowess here, I am sure we shall receive them with all the delight becoming those who have one common origin, and show them all possible courtesy (hear, hear). I am confident that we, in common with all England, feel greatly indebted to those who went over to America, with the elements, in several instances, against them, and, under many disadvantages, sustained the honor of the country. We have met to thank them, and most heartily shall we thank them for the noble efforts they have put forth (cheers.) They have contributed to give the game a world-wide reputation, and now we ourselves must be careful to keep it up in all its integrity (hear, hear). I am sure you will have the greatest pleasure in drinking the health of the twelve cricketers who went to America (cheers.) In conclusion, I have to propose to you the health of the "Twelve Cricketers who went across the Atlantic," coupling with it the names of Messrs. Caesar, Lockyer, Catfyn, Lillywhite, and Stephenson (drunk with immense applause.) ' Mr. Julius Caesar, after thanking the company for the compliment, said the twelve certainly had a very rough passage to America, but they did not care so very much about that. '1 hey landed at Montreal, and were rather disappointed to have to play the next day after their boisterous voyage ; however, they went into the field, but he could not say much about himself — the other ten won the game (laughter.) They certainly were received in Canada in a very kind manner ; but he could jiot say 80 much for the United States.* All he could say was, that thev gained the five matches, and were proud of it ; not individually, but on account of the honour of their old country, (loud applause.) ♦ This remark, is considered, in the States, somewhat unjust, and perhaps, tightly BO. Most of the twelve, we believe, were somewhat dissatisfied by the manner, their Benefit Match was managed here, and which appears the sole tause of the jealousy existing. This was their own fault ; they should haoe looked ajter themselves. But, says Caefar, the ** United States !" I thought the hospitality they received at New York, Philadelphia, and Rochester, was everything that a professional Cricketer could desire, as it was also in Canada, and many regretted that such words should have dropped from so renowned a cricketer as Julius Caesar.— F.

They passed into Canada again, and were wonderfully well received ; uu people could be kinder than the Canadians, and he thought some of the twelve would have liked to have stopped on the other side of the Atlantic. They had a bad passage back, but all their troubles v\^. as nothirijar to them when they met with the warm wel- come which awaited their arrival at home, and he was quite sure there was not one of the party who did not love his old country now twenty thousand times better than ever (much cheering). The Vice-Chairman then arose amidst great applause, and after re- ferring to the importance of the toast with which he was entrusted, said : I should not be induced to enlarge upon the subject before me, were it not for the peculiar interest attaching to it, when we consider the high honour earned by this county, in producing so many of the representatives of the cricketers of England (cheers). I cannot but dwell with satisfaction upon the fact that this little county has afforded so large a quota to the champions who have taken part in the grand struggle. I am not so much surprised at the result, because I know that good stock will germinate and spread. It would be a source of wonderment to many to look into this room and see the company assembled ; I must say that I myself, with all my enthusiasm for cricket and knowledge of the love for the game which prevails in Mia neighbourhood, did not expect to find such a gathering — it shows only that the good old stock will come out (applause). Now that cricket has become popular, we see in these little towns the results of our early efforts in a great and noble and national cause (cheers). It rejoices me greatly to see how the long- expressed wish of my heart, that the game may be known in every country, is being realized. I helped to carry it beyond the Tweed, and I was one of the first to suggest that it should be introduced into Ireland. Now it has been taken across the Atlantic, and I have still another scheme to propose to you, and I hope you will follow it out (hear, hear). We have heard a great deal lately about invasions. Invasions ! I am not one of those who think anything of invasions. There have been several clever fellows suggesting sundry improved implements of war. Now - 1"; i I have a little weapon of war to introduce to you. It is not a conical weapon or a cube, but it is spherical and made of leather, weighs five ounces and a quarter, and you can get it at Lillywhite'a, Dark's, and many other places (laughter). It would do more for civili- sation and the cultivation of good feeliug than all the cannon balls in the world (cheers). Now I think, to make all meetings of a practical character, let us see what good may be disseminated from the journey to America. When the 12 players were there, some of them were very much pressed to remain ; we could not spare them, but from tks fact of their having been asked to stay abroad, we may learn how any one devoting himself to the ccientific study of the ^ame of cricket, may find a home and good remuneration /^applause). Now I will mention my little proposition to you. Next year let u» fihow how we can go with kind feeling towards another country close at hand, and take the eleven of England over to Paris, and I under- take to say we shall have as good a battle as was ever fought in the world (cheers). The French will get together their twenty-two, and after we have fought it out, let us finish it as we do in England, over a jolly dinner, and have some of the good blood of the country, — the only blood I ever wish to see drawn, some of their generous wine (applause). I have now to propose the health of the " Surrey Club," and to couple with it the name of one of the best fellows in the world, Mr. William Burrup, the Honorary Secretary (cheers). Mr. Burrup, in responding, said it was always the object of those who managed the Surrey Club, to carry forward the game in such a spirit as would conduce, not only to its prosperity in their own countys but all over the kingdom, and he believed every member went into the field with a desire to promote the general interest of the sport (applause). He thought it was not needful, in a town which had been known to produce some of the best cricketers in Surrey, and had, in former years, contended with all England like Surrey had of late, to say what the county could and ought to do in sup- port of the noble game (cheers). He trusted that for the future, the matches, with a list of which they would shortly be furnished, Would be conducted in a creditable manner — cricket on the hearth M well as criclet '^Ti the heath waa his motto (hear, hear).

Mr. Burrup concluded by expressing the pleasure he felt in doing all he could for the good of the club and cricket in general, and by acknowledging the kindness and support of the members, by which he had been encouraged in many a difficult emergency (much applause). The Chairman next gave " Tl e Cricketers of Sassex," coupling with the toast the name of one of the best cricketers of the day, M Edwin Napper (cheers). Mr. Napper returned thanks on behalf of the county of Sussex, and in an appropriate address he proceeded to propose the health of the president of the evening. He remarked that he was the first person who, when he (Mr. Napper) left school, took him into Kent to play his first match; and it was by his advice and teaching that he had gained a name as a cricketer. He was very pleased to find him now as the leader and the head of the Su; rey players (cheers). He concluded by proposing the health of H. Marshall, Esq., and hoped he would long continue to enjoy good health to enable him to ad- vance the interests of cricket. Drunk with three times three. The Chairman, in reply, thanked the company cordially for the honour done him. He said he had ever been an earnest supporter of cricket from his earliest days, and he could assure them that it "would be his pleasure to continue that support to the utmost of his power (cheers). He had been elected president of the Surrey Club for one year, but year after year passed away, and they still con- tinued to appoint him to that honourable post, so that he really thought it was time, at his advanced age, to withdraw (no, no^. Well, he would assure them then, if it was their wish he would continue to fill that post, and he should ever exert all his abilities to further the important interests which the office involved (cheers). It would still be his desire to do this, and with the encouragement which their cheers afforded him, he would always be found ready, as before, to assist in every way the cause of cricket (cheers). The Vice-chairman next gave " The Mayor and Corporation of ill u GG Godalming." The gentleman who filled the office cf Mayor, he said, although not a cricketer, was always ready to give a helping hand to the cause of cricket (cheers). Drunk with three times three. F. Yate, Esq., (Mayor), responded, and in doing bo extended a hearty welcome to the many influential friends of the cricketing world that he saw around him. He was sure it was an honor to the town to have their preseroe, and on behalf of the Corporation he returned them his hearty and cordial thanks for the flattering manner in which they had drunk their health. F. Yate, Esq., then proposed " The Mayor and Corporation of Guildford," coupled with the name of W. E. Elkins, Esq. (cheers). Mr. Elkins returned thanks on behalf of the Corporation of Guild- ford, and observed that he was pleased to find so many of the Guild- ford people present to welcome the return of the cricketers from the other side of the Atlantic, It was evidence of the universal good feeling of cricket, and it was gratifying also to find such kindly feeling manifested towards the Corporation of a neighbouring town* and for which he returned his most sincere thanks. The Vice-Chairman next gave " The Visitors," coupled with a name which he said was a talisman to all cricketers in any part of the world — viz., John Walker, Esq. (Prolonged cheering.) He was personally known to the company present, for it would be remembered that some few years tince, in this town, the three Walkers played against the three Ciesars ; it was then that John Walker came in and performed an innings which won the admiration of all the cricketing fraternity. Mr. Walker's generosity was unbounded. His conduct proved that he valued deeds and not words, and his munificent assistance to the cause of cricket had never been equalled in any part of the world. (Hear, hear.) He would ask them, therefore, to fill their glasses and drink a bumper to John Walker. Drunk with musical honours. Mr. Walker, who was received with immense applause, rose and thanked the company for their kindness. They well knew his fondness for the game, and he could only express a hope that he might be long spared to show his love for the game. It would be a pleasure to him to see any of the company up at his house at any time, more especially 67 or, he said, ing hand to extended a 3 cricketing lonor to the poration he ring manner rporation of [.

(Hear, !S and drink a lae, rose and his fondness light be long Measure to him iore eepecially when Soutbgate had to contend against England. (Laughter and cheers.) Mr. Elkins gave " The Local Cricket Clubs," and expatiated upon their benefit in contributing to the Elevens of England. He coupled with the toast the name of Mr. Maddox, of the Chertsey Club. Mr. Maddox acknowledged the compliment on behalf of the Chertsey Club, and said that although it was a small club, they could boast of having played 17 matches and only lost one. (Cheers.) W. King, Esq., proposed the health of the Vice-Chairman, remarking that a better fellow than Alexander Marshall could not be found. (Loud cheers.) There was no man in the town more respected than he was. He was a sincere friend, an ardent cricketer, and a genuine friend of sport of all kinds. He (Mr. King) would express a hope that the townspeople may see a little more of him than of late, and he called upon them now to fill a bumper to his long health and happiness. Drunk with musical honours and immense applause. The Vice-Chairman replied in suitable terms, and observed that he could not understand why they should for one moment have doubted that he, Alexander Marshall, had been lost or wandered oflFthe line, but, sportsmen as they were, they must know that an old fox will sometimes wander out. (Laughter and cheers.) He could assure them that whether it was in the hunting field or in the cricket field, his helping hand would ever be found ready to aid them. (Cheers.) He returned them his heartiest thanks for the high honour they had done him in drinking his health. The Chairman proposed the health of the Dining Committee, joining with the toast the names of Mr. Col pus and Mr. S. Challen. Mr. Colpus responded to the toast, and in doing so expressed a hope that during the season this year they should have the pleasure of seeing an Eleven of England in the town. He felt satisfied there would be little diflficulty in finding the funds necessary for the purpose. (Hear.) Mr. J. Burrup proposed the health of Frederick Lillywhite, whose exertions on behalf of cricket, in accompanying the Twelve to America, were worthy of their approbation, and also for his assistance in getting up the valuable statistics at the end of the cricketing season. Drunk with three times three. i'2 68 I Mr. F. Lilly-white replied, expressing to the company his acknow- ledgments for the kindness he had experienced at the hands of the Messrs. Burrup — Mr. John Burrup, he said, being the founda- tion of the Surrey Club — and also from Mr. Pickering, of Montreal, and Mr. R. Waller, of New York, and, in fact, all the managers throughout Canada and the States. He alluded also to the fact o^ Messrs. Pickering and Baker affording all the assistance to him and the Twelve in their progress through their travels. The Chairman proposed "The Press," coupled with the name of Mr. T. Chennell C Surrey TimesJ, who briefly returned thanks, Mr. Lyon gave *' The Scorers and Umpires," coupling therewith the name of Mr. J. Baxter, who responded. " The Ladies,'* the health of Mr. Cole» the host and a few other toasts, were given, after which the Chairman vacated his seat, and in leaving the room was greeted with deafening applause. The harmony of the evening was greatly enhanced by the vocal ser- vices of Mr. Smith, of Caterham, and Mr. Bruton — the sporting songs of the former and the amusing ballads of the latter giving the utmost satisfaction to the company. The pleasures of the evening were protracted to a very late hour ; and thus liberally were the Southern part of the " Americans " treated ; so much so, that they — CafFyn included — had by that time completely forgotten the hardships endured during the voyage. Two days' sporting over the Messrs. Marshall's estates finished the kind invitations to hospitable Godalming — a town that may be classed among those that have produced the " Fathers of Cricket," and where, and in its vicinity, many of the most influential supporters now reside. We now, for the Jinale, lay before our readers a map of the country travelled through, obligingly furnished by Thomas Knowles, Esq., ft fellow-passenger on our voyage home ; and we conclude by stating that no assistance has been received, in publishing this work, from either of the managers of the " two celebrated Elevens," but that thanks are justly due to H. H. Stephenson, John Lilly white.
