 INTRODUCTORY PREFACE. 
 
 :o: 
 
 Ekjhtken years ftgo the tirit editum of tho " Canadian CiiclitttTs' 
 (liuide " was sent out, and tio favorably ^as it received, that the int<n- 
 tion to issue the work annually would havu been carried out*, had not 
 more pressing engagements rendered it impossible for the chief compiler 
 to devote to the work the requisite time and care, ^ow that the ^amo 
 is 10 universally (dayed (the Clubs of Ontario alono Ijein^ counted by 
 hundredd), it seems im})eratively necessary that a yearly record of its 
 progress towards earning the epithet "national" should bo sent 
 abroad. And, inasmuch as the yoiuuj cricketer who has revived tho 
 project was born some years after the older one had attained a reputable 
 position among the members of the fraternity in Canada, we may claim 
 the sympathy of two generations of playprs, in tlio attempt to present 
 a medium of yearly communication between all devotes ot the ^ame m 
 the Dominion. 
 
 Tho difficulty of compiling the work now lannchtd to bufTct tho 
 waves of criticism is obviously great ; but, as tho support promised 
 already guarantees its periodical issue, we icA sure that the interest 
 which its pages will tend to diffuse will permit of our reckoning confi- 
 dently upon tho hearty co-operation of all tho Clubs, in our honest- 
 endeavor to make the "Guide" not oidy readable, tut reliable as aa 
 authority. Only those who undertake the task can form a correct 
 estimate of the amount of labor required to reduce to proper 8h.apc the 
 chaotic mass of information which has been proffered. Having, how- 
 ever, shown what we want for successive numbers of flm "n-iM-, " - - 
 hope tliat tho Secretaries of Clubs will send us their returns for the 
 year not later than November 1st, and that in prepand form. Our 
 thanks are due to those who have done so for the prcBcnt number. 
 
 We would especially draw attentic ; to the fact that little has hitherto 
 been done to secure correct bowlijjg analysis in Canada, hence our 
 meagre exhibit in this direction. We expect, however, that the bow- 
 lers themselves will in future insist on having the statement of thdr 
 doings not only fully recorded in the score-book, but also carefully 
 anahzed for publication. This may reasonably be anticipated as one 
 result of this venture. We bespeak for our brochure a kmdly perusal, 
 and promise that any hints witn a view to its improvement year by 
 year will be cheerfully received and carefully noted. 
 
 In conclusion, we beg leave to say that while the price of the "Guide" 
 has been placed at a figure which precludes aoy suspicion of a wish to 
 do aught but fan the increasing popularity of the game, by making thw 
 several Clubs known to the world and to each other, we rely upon the 
 purchasing power of our many friends to assist in exhausting an edition 
 of 4,000 copies. ,,, ,^^^.,,

 tho season in the capi- 
 tal of Ontario. But it is as the designer of the Tournament at Halifax 
 in 1874, that Captain W. will always be remembered in this country — 
 an enterprise remarkable alike for the boldness of its conception and 
 the accuracy with which its varied details were executed. In tho 
 fourth match Captain Wallace scored 68 and 24. The International 
 matches thus auspiciously revived must always prove the climax of a 
 cricket season in JNorth America. We are glad to be able, before the 
 departure of his Regiment from Canada, to present our subscribers 
 with a faithful representation, copied from a photograph by Notman, 
 of one whose exei-tions have given the game a powerful impetus.

 still fouiul yearly on 
 the best elevens of one 
 of the strongcHt Clubs 
 in Canada. In j)aHt 
 years ho has been 
 known to make his 5{i,

 class matches. On one 
 occasion (if not twice) 
 ho headed the score in 
 
 the match between

 1873, Mr H. made the 
 best batting average in 
 his clul) for the year ; 
 and was thus entitled 
 to the bat given by Mr. 
 Fitzgerald, when visit- 
 ing Canada with the 
 English twelve. But it 
 is as a good specimen of the jolly cricketer, never dejected by adversity 
 or thrown off his balance by good fortune, that Mr. Hewanl's presence 
 is felt by his side. His popularity with those who know him was evi- 
 denced by his election for about ten consecutive years to the Presidency 
 of the Toronto Cricket Club. Although a generation of cricketers has 
 been born, has grown up, and has disappeared from the field during 
 Mr. Howard's cricket life-time, and although the youngsters of to-day 
 threaten to push aside the old ones, he promises to top the tree for 1876, 
 and we believe that he has vitality enough in him to do it. The like- 
 ness which we present is copied from an excellent photograph by 
 Notman.

 Men as well as boys require relaxation and amusement — 
 the mens sana in corpore sano is as much a necessity for the one 
 class of the genus homo as for the other. Children will, in 8i)ito 
 of the most adverse cuxumstances, supply themselves with 
 varieties of fiUing-up for play hours. But inasmuch as their 
 self- devised schemes have a tendency to degenerate into law- 
 lessness, if uncontrolled, it is well to see that they not only 
 have recreation, but that it be of a harmless character ; if, at 
 the same time, it be of a nature calculated to direct the moral 
 qualities, so much the better. But, it will be said, how does 
 this apply to children of larger growth — to those who, when 
 they became men, were presumed to have '* put away childish 
 
IhiiigH ? " Wo answer that adults, pel Imps even moro than 
 tho young, stand in need of healthy exercise ; to the latter 
 ])lay is a second nature : a hoy wlio never plays is an un- 
 natural curiosity — may wo not truthfully add, a monstrosity, 
 of whom little or no good can come ? If then we expect tho 
 boy to exercise his body, in order to gonerato tho utamina 
 which is to carry his head, can there bo less necessity for tho 
 samo courso in the man, who is making tremendous drafts on 
 his bodily constitution, whilo plotting and planning with 
 anxious thought for his ov/n Kustenanco, and that of those 
 dependant on him ? And what docs a man want moro 
 than to ease tho springs for a few hours, or to slacken tho 
 fires which get up steam whilo tlin vessel lies inactive at her 
 moorings ? Ho wants complete suspension of mental anxiety, 
 over and above that which ho gets in nature's gi'aud restora- 
 tive, sleep ; for ho is not a mere bit of mechanism, which 
 may bo allowed to run down periodically. It is of his nature 
 to bo doing something ; his body craves for exercise when 
 not asloep. Then, let him take a •* constitutional," says one ; 
 '• let him work in his garden," says another. To tho first 
 we have decided objections, as involving too muc)i head-work, 
 especially if it bo a solitary walk ; for our part wo believe 
 that walking, as a relief after the ordinai'y avocations of a 
 busy day, is, per se, **a mockery, a delusion, and a snare." 
 If one has a present object in view, for mstaiice, if he has 
 fishing-rod or gun in hand, walldng is well enough. Tho busi- 
 ness-pleasure of the moment is so attractive that it takes the 
 mind completely away from "shop," and the process of recrea- 
 tion goes on satisfactorily. Gardening, too, is a delightful 
 amusement ; but is it open to more than the privileged class of 
 proprietors ? Again, has it not its own anxieties, which act, 
 at certain seasons at any rate, as allies rather than as repellants 
 of corroding care ? Man, then, wants something which 
 shall serve him as body- exerciser and care-dispeller ; some- 
 thing, too, over which ho may grow entliusiastically free froiL 
 life's troubles ; and this can only be a sportive science which, 
 whilo filling up tho vacant void called his hours of relaxation, 
 
a 
 
 shall not only make him forget his cares, but also, by a gentle 
 stimulus of its own, take away selfishness, remind him of his 
 Immanity, and teach him his duty to his species. We sug- 
 gest cricket as supplying these varied wants in an eminent 
 degree. Cricket is essentially a game adapted to the genius 
 of the Anglo-Saxon race ; only a law-abiding people could 
 adopt it as a national pastime. As the Grecian athlete — 
 perhaps the highest type of physical endurance known to the 
 world — practiced sobriety, temperance, self-denial, patience, 
 obedience, fortitude ; so must the cricketer. Intellectually, 
 he must possess judgment, decision, concentrativeness. 
 Though his shoulders be broad, they must support a clear 
 head ; he must have his wits about him, even to his finger-ends. 
 ** As to physical qualifications, we require not only the vola- 
 ** tile spirits of t)ie Irishman rampant, and the phlegmatic 
 ** caution of the ^ 'otchman couchant, but we want the Eng- 
 lish combinatio of the two ; though with good generalship 
 cricket is a game for Britons generally. The three nations 
 " would not mix better in a regiment than in an eleven ; 
 " especially if the Hibernian were trained in London, and 
 ** taught to enjoy something better than what Father Prout 
 "terms his supreme felicity, * Otium cum dig-gin taties.'' ^"^^ 
 It is not difficult to account for the introduction of cricket 
 into this country ; for, by order of the Horse Guards, the 
 troops have cricket grounds adjacent to their barracks ; H. M. 
 ships, too, always carry bats and stumps, also balls of the 
 6i oz., as well as of the 82 lb. calibre. Wliereever, therefore, 
 the two services '* have carried their victorious arms," and 
 legs, cricket has been played. Rarely, however, have foreign- 
 ers imitated Englishmen in this respect ; possibly because 
 cricket is indigenous to a land of hops rather than to one of 
 grapes or rye. Our game is not dependant on a spirit-lamp ; 
 that man cannot be a cricketer, who carries about him an 
 unhealthy hectic flush, who has the fire of his eyes burnt low 
 in their socket, a pallid face and a shaky hand, and veins 
 
 - -I '^ , 
 
 it 
 
IK 
 
 fevered with alcohol ; nor can he, whose figure is Falstaffian, 
 living only to eat, born to be *'the devouring caterpillar and 
 grub of human kind." Nor yet is it enough to be sound in 
 wind and limb, quick with hand and eye. These are but 
 instrumental indispensables. Old Virgil's lines, though in- 
 tended to have a very different application, fitly describe the 
 general make-up of a cricketer. 
 
 , ^^Spiritus intus alit totamquc in/usa per artiis.** . .> 
 
 *^Mens ayitat molein, et marftio se corporc miscetf''. j 
 
 Which being freely translated, means "a man full of life, 
 not merely enough to keep his body from rotting, but with 
 intelligence proportionate to his size, and instinct with sense 
 all over." '* Tgnem est ollis rigor,'' continues the poet, i. e., 
 he must alwsys have steam up, otherwise he wont do for a 
 place in the Eleven, for 
 
 **Noxia corpora tardant ■ -. _ ^ , 
 
 '; Terrenique hebetant artits, moribundaque membra,'' ,,,[ ] 
 
 That is, he cannot stir unless the law of gi'avity be changed 
 in his favor, for he is a mere clod of the valley, an inert mass 
 of flesh." Supposing, however, that we wish to discipline the 
 victims of idleness or intemperance, the same manly author 
 tells how they may join the few m the cricket field ; — 
 
 ** Exinde ])er amplum 
 . ..,. Mittimur Elysium et pauci laeta arva tenemus." • . ■ 
 
 Where Elysium means ** Lord's," and laeta arva, "the j)lay 
 ground." A single fact will illustrate the experience of 
 modern times as corroborative of that of ancient, that cricket 
 wants mind as well as matter — in fact, a good nnderstandimf 
 in every sense of the term. The autVior of the ** Cricket 
 Field " states, that of the Oxford eleven, in which he played in 
 1836 against Cambridge, seven were classmen in Honours. 
 ' But the cricketer needs moral qualifications, besides those 
 of physique and intellect. A sulky temper paralyzes indi- 
 vidual exertion, and depresses the spirits of the field. Im- 
 
10 
 
 patience dothronos judgment, and leads to random hitting at 
 good balls, because loose ones do not come in rapid succes- 
 sion. A contentious or an imperious spirit is voted the pest 
 of his side, and very properly so ; for, if people cannot be 
 j)leasant and amiable over their amusements, on what ground 
 can they be expected to agi*ee ? Another nuisance on the 
 fi ,ld, is the man who is ever remmding you of his averages, 
 his catches, his wickets — " the wretch concentred all in self." 
 How much more enjoyable the company of one who blames 
 not his partner when he is run out ; who, if he should miss a 
 ball, stays not to exculpate himself, but rattles after it, as if 
 the salvation of his side depended on his own efforts. 
 
 How mortifying to be put out the first ball ! How great 
 the temptation to excuse ones self — " Why, I couldn't have 
 had right guard!" or, perhaps one feels inclined to believe 
 that a momentary suspension of the laws of gravitation has 
 caused the unlooked-for discomfiture. It is saddenmg, too, 
 to think of the spoiling of one's average, the slow walk back 
 to the pavilion of the " returned convict," to say nothing of 
 the vexatious post-mortem examination into your case, " How 
 did it happen ?" But, '* Calcanda semel via letiT all have to 
 tread the path of death, hence it is essential to the true 
 cricketer to have an unruffled temper. Eleven good-tem- 
 pered men will, ceteris parihusj always beat eleven sulky 
 or irritable ones. No man is always sure to catch, safe 
 to score, or able to get wickets ; and this very uncertainty 
 lends interest. Even out here, we have seen Mr. Grace — 
 the greatest batsman the w^orld has produced — ^lose his 
 wicket without a run. Achilles we know was vulnerable 
 in the heel ; which seems to imply that a leg-shooter 
 was fatal to him. The Satanic agency of the gaming-table 
 should not be allowed to brood over these "happy fields," 
 where strenua .los exercet hurtid" ; where, that is, energy 
 stamps our idle hom'S, where we are enjoying time, not striv- 
 to kill it. Hence every cricketer should work patiently while at 
 it, wearing, at the same time, the look of a man out for a holi- 
 day. Persevering self-denial is what tells ; and these virtues 
 
11 
 
 must be exercised iu the daily routine of practice, if they aro 
 to have their effect iu the match. The vainglorious man 
 does not shine in the long run ; he is thinking more of the 
 applause of the spectators, than of his own correct play. With 
 no fieldsmen to break the force of his hits, his batting may 
 appear brilliant enough on practice days ; but his ** merry 
 life" is apt to be a short one when the real tug of war comes; 
 and he finds himself nowhere in comparison with his more 
 plodding compeer ; who, though thought little of before the 
 match, is often saluted as the one who turned the chances m 
 favour of his side ; his cool, steady, unpretending j)lay having 
 foiled the bowler's attack. Hence it happens that a game of 
 cricket is a grand corrective of conceit, as well as a fine field 
 for the rewarding of patient merit. We were much struck 
 with the following passage, which appoai'ed a few days ago 
 in an obituary of the late Lord Lyttleton, written for a lead- 
 ing daily in the capital of Ontario, (.tj -/iiifr -.J 1> r:> nurr r,v<. 
 
 " The fame of the Lyttleton youths as cricketers is great. 
 The park was their training ground; there, day by day, '*the 
 lads (rf the village" played with their lord's children, almost 
 as with equals ; and one standing by watching the games, 
 and hearing the men'y chaff of little relatives and guests and 
 humble neighbors, might think indeed the golden age had 
 come when all were equal ; for all ranks were gentlemen, 
 and none were before or after the other, save according to 
 the laws and chances of cricket." Uiint" r! i'- -T h!c f.,^,« 
 
 A keen observer of men and manners — Baron Aiders^ 
 had one day been w^itnessing the high-born, the wealthy a^u 
 the peasant blended in a village cricket match ; and 
 he addressed the Grand Jury of Huntingdonshire in this 
 strain : — ** He could not help expressing the gratification he 
 had that day derived from seeing the noble Lord Lieutenant 
 of the County (the Earl of Sandwich) mixing with his ten- 
 antry ard his humbler neighbors, in one of the manly sports 
 of England. Such a proceeding was calculated to revive the 
 good old feeling which had subsisted in days gone by between 
 the nobles of the land and those by whom their lordships and 
 
12 
 
 tlieir property were surrounded and occupied. Conduct like 
 this was far more likely to lead to a sound understanding of 
 the hest interests of each class, than the demeanor which, he 
 lamented to say, was but too general on the part of the high- 
 ly born and wealthy towards those who did not possess equal 
 advantages of birth or fortune. The scene, of which he 
 had been a delighted observer that morning, was calcu- 
 lated, not simply to win, but to ensure the best feelings 
 and respect of the middle and lower classes of society for 
 those who, by the will of Providence, were placed above 
 them. The respectful feelings of the lower classes for those 
 to whom they had a right to look for support and consider- 
 ation, would be found to be the very best source of protection 
 for the property of the landlord ; while, on the other hand, 
 the parties themselves feel raised in their own estimation, by 
 the occasional association with their superiors, in one of the 
 common and healthy sports of the country." 
 
 ** We remember," say^Mr. BoUand," in his * cricket notes,' 
 •' this excellent judge himself engaging in a cricket match, 
 and also that he made a capital catch. His hands on that 
 occasion were as active as his mind, which is capable of 
 grasping the greatest difficulties." Mr. Baron Piatt stamped 
 the game with the seal of his approbation thus : " would it 
 not be worthy the consideration of country gentlemen to for- 
 ward by every means in their power the establishing of the 
 good old English game of cricket — a game which, while it 
 served to amuse, tended also to aid the moral and social con- 
 dition of the people." On one occasion, at the assizes in a 
 North Welch county, the Bench, the Bar, Grand Jurymen 
 and Officials engaged in a cricket match ; and a Baron of the 
 Exchequer stood umpire. And this reminds us that we have 
 ourselves played in matches with the venerable Chief Justice 
 Draper for umpire, and never did decisions give greater 
 satisfaction than his. The same may be said of the present 
 Chief of the Chancery Court, Mr. Spragge, whose genial pre- 
 sence on the cricket field is ever welcomed by all lovers of fair 
 play. Though not a justice, Mr. Cobden, the great free 
 
13 
 
 trader, was a good judge of human nature, and here is his 
 dictum : *' I have no hesitation in allowing my name to ho 
 used as one of the patrons of your club. It is a game with 
 which I have been familiar from my childhood. It is a 
 healtliful, manly recreation ; and, if the game be i^layed under 
 judicious rules, such as you have adopted, it is, in my opinion, 
 the most innocent of all out-door amusements." If the 
 opinions of these great men reciuire further endorsation, let it 
 be found in the active supjjort which the game receives from 
 our respected Governor-General, the Earl of Dufferin ; who 
 not only condescends to be patron of the Cricket Club of the 
 Metropolis of Canada, but gives its members the unfettf red 
 use of the magnificent ground at Eideau Hall, and always 
 encourages, by his presence, and that of his suite, the 
 matches which take place when he is at home. 
 
 But let us proceed in onr enumeration of tbo ennobling 
 qualities of our game. May it not then be fau'ly set down to 
 the praise of cricket that it supplants less innocent sports ? 
 Drinking and gambling insensibly disappear in the i)resenco 
 of a manly recreation, which draws the laborer from the dark 
 haunts of crime to the free open aii* of heaven ; in which no 
 professional boxer was ever known to excel ; and in which 
 nature invites us to sport and play, as truly as to eat and 
 drink. If you wish to see how unsatisfying is the stated 
 milestone measured walk, observe the features of the pale dys- 
 peptic student, pondering over his Geometry, or his Logic, 
 and then, by way of contrast, gladden your eyes and ears 
 with the elasticity of spirit which pervades a cricket field on 
 practice days. Field s]Dorts, be it the following up a covey, 
 or tracing the windings of a trout- stream, have each and all 
 a charm of their own, none the less enjoyable because they 
 transport us from the din and noise of busy life, to qniet retreats, 
 where *' the valleys laugh and sing." But in this high pres- 
 sure age, few can afford to leave their business for days at a 
 time, as is necessary, if they would truly enjoy nature in this 
 delightful way. All, however, who are true to themselves, 
 can find a spare hour or two, in the season, for the enjoy- 
 
14 
 
 ment of the cricket field, rh generous as it is social, in the 
 free open light of heaven ; wlivre community of interest 
 begets a fellow feeling, and where no one minds that another 
 ♦'how unmannerly" soever, should "pass betwixt the wind 
 and his nobility" ; but where the frostwork of etiquette is 
 thawed out, and the silken cords that should bind man to 
 man are strengthened. Here, if anywhere, is Nature's kind 
 provision to 
 
 " Rnze out the written troubles of tlio bruin, 
 
 And by some Hweet ubliviouH antidote

 The ranks and classes of society are natural, not artificial. 
 The "tropics of nobility and affluence, the temijerato zones 
 of comfortable independence, and the arctic circles of poverty" 
 are separated by nicely graduated lines ; but nowhere are 
 they less marked than on the cricket field, where we waive 
 for awhile all social distinctions. 
 
 "Contented with the rank that merit gives," "a fair 
 stage and no favour," is the condition which enables the cot- 
 tager to stump out his landlord, the scholar to beat his mas- 
 ter, the son to catch out his father ; which made William 
 Beldham for many hours in each summer day, '* as good a 
 man" as Lord Frederick Beauclerk ; and which, for the time, 
 brought to the level of his tenantry, the gallant Duke of 
 Richmond ; whose untimely death, within a few miles of the 
 spot on which this is written, has moved the pity of many a 
 Canadian. 
 
 Cricket cannot be monopolized by the few ; the cricketer 
 does not soon grow old ; he may be near-sighted, and yet a 
 good bat ; weak, and yet a hard hitter ; weigh nine stone 
 and yet be not too slight ; weigh eighteen, and still be active 
 on his pins ; commence to play at ten years, and yet find 
 himself, like Clarke and old Lillywhite, on an All-England 
 Eleven when more than fifty. Shooting requires leave ; 
 hunting, license ; yachting means ; it is notorious that 
 cricket originated with the poorer classes, "after hours," on 
 
15 
 
 village greens. It is not solely a game of skill ; there is just 
 enough of the element of chance to make it interesting. A 
 long innings indicates good play ; hut **out the first hall" in 
 no disgrace. We might mention matches in which a whole 
 side was out for 0. Last year 8 men on a side scored 724 
 in two days ; and there the game terminated — a draw. And 
 yet, though not so severe in its character as chess, cricket 
 does demand skill, hut not such as would destroy good 
 humour. Till the last hall is howled, the game is alive. 
 There is indeed on a cricket field so little temptation to less 
 of temper, that we may be said to give security for good be- 
 haviour from the instant we enter its gates. There we find 
 discipline and good order reigning supreme ; and that 
 manly spirit which braves danger, and yields submis- 
 sively to misfortune. " But as to stirring excitement," 
 writes one, ** what can surpass a hardly-contested match, 
 when you have been manfully i)laying an up-hill game, 
 and gradually the figures on the telegraph keep telling a bet- 
 ter and a better tale, till at last the scorers stand up and pro- 
 claim a tie, and you win the game by a single, and rather a 
 nervous wicket, or by five or ten runs. If in the field with a 
 match of this sort, and trying hard to prevent these few runs 
 being knocked oflf by the last wickets, I know of no excite- 
 ment so intense for the time, or which lasts so long after- 
 wards. The recollection of these critical moments will make 
 the heart jump, for years and years to come ; and it is 
 extraordmary to see the delight with which men call up these 
 grand moments to memory ; and, to be sure, how they will 
 talk and chatter, their eyes glistening and pulses getting 
 quicker, as if they were again finishing ** that rattling good 
 match." 
 
 •* What a glorious sensation it is," writes the authoress of 
 " Our Village," * to be winning, winning, winning ' I Who 
 would think that a little bit of leather and two pieces of wood 
 had such a delightful and delighting power ? " *• Cricket is, 
 in fact," writes another, •' a pastime for all — peer, patriot, 
 or peasant. For the first, it has its inducements — elegance. 
 
grace, ftiul dexterity ; for the next, it is oue of the few legacies 
 of our forefathers, still free aud untaxed ; and for the hist, it 
 possesses all the charms that rustic emulation and hilarity 
 can desire." Or, to put the same idea in other words, we may 
 conclude this hurried sketch in the language of a Canadian, 
 who has done much for the game in the neighbouring 
 Republic. Mr. A. A. Outerbridge, when receiving the champion 
 cup, so gallantly won by the Philadelphians at Halifax in 
 1874, apostrophizes cricket as " a game which stands pre- 
 eminent in its attractions and advantages as a field-sport, 
 and which is not less pre-emment by the absence of those 
 demoralizing tendencies which, unfortunately, have attachec' 
 themselves to some other manly sports. The fact that cricket 
 is played by gentlemen, endorsed by dignitaries, and ap- 
 proved of and participated in by reverend clergymen, who 
 are not unmindful that youth must grow in stature as well 
 as in grace, will go far towards elevating cricket, and extend- 
 ing it to schools and colleges."

 Don't stnre about tlio field, or talk to your matos, l>ut be 
 on the look-out to oboy tho wickot-kccpor's Bij^'uals, and 
 watch, like a cat, tho pitch of tho ball and tho motions of tho 
 batHinau, so as to pjct the start of tho ball ; by so doing, you 
 will field and catch many balls which otherwise would get 
 past you — the half moment's stat't of the hall makes all the 
 difference. Don't wait for the ball, but try to sare the run by 
 dashing in to meet it ; field the ball with the right hand, and 
 return it at once, and as if with the one movement to the 
 wicket-keeper, quickly, but not violently, and to the top of 
 the wicket. In making a catch, keep the hands close with 
 the fingers open ; and, to prevent rebound of tho ball or 
 ''stinging" the hand, mind and (/ire a little to tho ball, or 
 you are safely booked for the ejiithet of ** butter-^ngevs." If 
 the ball comes to you too sharp to be fielded by hand, down 
 on one knee, raise both hands with fingers wide apart, in 
 front of you, and never mind your bread-basket, which will 
 often act as a safe stay to the ball's further progress. King- 
 doms, as well as cricket matches, have been ruined by an 
 "overthrow" ; so be sure to hack up well, but not too closely 
 together, or the ball will get past ere you can field it. To be 
 observant of the play — fearless in meeting the ball — and 
 quick, though steady in returning it, are essential requisites 
 in the fieldsman ; and remember, that to prevent your oppo- 
 nents making runs, is the next merit to making runs your- 
 self. -'

 "What tlic Oonoriil is to an army, tho wicket keeper is to an 
 "eleven" ; and ho who is intrusted with this important post 
 needs experience, patience, watclifuhiess, and temper. Ho is 
 i\c-({(licio tho manager of tho phiy, for although HomctimcH 
 others may direct tho gamo generally, ho carries out their 
 suggestions, and tho rest of tho lield aro bound to defer to his 
 autliority, and look to him for directions l>y .sit/nal, and not by 
 words, which would unmask liis strategy to tho otherwise 
 inisuspecting batsman. Tho experienced wicket-keeper will 
 acquit tho duties of his onerous post with a courteous bear- 
 ing, as regards tho opposite party, and with moderation and 
 tact towards his associates ; something lufiy bo left to tho 
 fieldsman's own discretion — a suggestion from tho field has 
 often done good service — and it should be tho general's study 
 to keep his subordhiates in harmonious order. Annoyances 
 create carlcssness, if not bad temi)er — when, of course, tho 
 catch is missed, or tho ball escapes, and runs aro made which 
 ought to have been saved. A good deal of forboaranco on 
 tho one side, and a little patience on tho other, will always 
 keep the team lively, pleasant, and, in consequence, effective, 
 Tho "old hand" has little need of advice ; but to the youthful 
 wicket-keeper I would say, the less noise or excess of action, 
 tho better ; eschew the showy trick of rattling dowu tho 
 wicket, unless there bo a reasonable chance of putting tho 
 man out ; appeal to the umpire as seldom as possible ; study 
 the habit of standing at a convenient distance from tho wicket ; 
 and when a ball is thrown up from tho field, always take it 
 with tho wicket close in front of you, and with your hands 
 well over the bails, thus gaining that small fraction of timo 
 which, if lost, brings tho batsman "home." Practise your 
 field and the bowler to act by signal ; avoid shouting to or 
 hurrying the fieldsman, for, in nine cases out of ten, it con- 
 fuses him, and lie misses what otherwise he would have done 
 well enough — and remember, that '[festina lente" is, or ought 
 to be, the wicket-keeper's motto in managing the play.

 THK BOWLKll. 
 
 Always Htart from the samo place, to keep wliich make a 
 mark m the ground ; moaHuro each stop and bowl a good 
 length ; commouco gently, incrca«ing your pace an you Ihul 
 yourself bowling steadily ; for, if you bcgui like a lion, you'll 
 uoon end like a lamb ; and bo sure to bowl straight at the 
 wicket. Don't use yourself to tako a long run before deliver- 
 ing the ball, as the contrary practice saves you fatigue, helps to 
 make your bowling more ditHcult to play, as the batsman has 
 but scant tijuo to prepare his defence, and tends to keep you 
 behind the crease, thus sparing your ears the grating sound of 
 "no ball," from the umpire. Fix your eye on a spot where 
 your ball should pitch, and work at it accordingly. Keep 
 your body upright, and deliver the ball high, (t. c, keep your 
 hand up to ''regulation" pitch,) which will cause the ball to 
 rise well and sharp , study the batsman's weak point, and 
 attack it; and, though not least, dont bo "huffed" if the 
 wicket-keeper, when two batsmen have been in together for 
 a long time, should bruig on a change bowler in your place. 
 And, lastly, bear ui mind, that the criterion of the best bowl- 
 ing is, that it pitches just so near the bat as to make it equal- 
 ly difticult to play back as forward, so that, if the latter be 
 attempted the rise of the ball may carry it over the shoulder 
 of the bat ; if the former, it will, perhaps, bo hit up — in either 
 case giving the chance of a "bailer" or a catch. 
 
 THE BATSMAX. 
 
 A small treatise might bo written on this subject alone, 
 but as brevity is the soul of wit, I shall study to be short. 
 Watch tlio bowler's hand, and mark well the pitch of the ball ; 
 play with an upright bat, /. c, the full face of it towards the 
 bowler, with the handle slanting forward so as to meet and 
 cover the ball ; keep within your crease ; have the right foot 
 firm and the left free ; keep your body erect, but not stiff, the 
 legs not too much extended, and free ; hold the bat about 
 the middle of the handle, and moderately tight ; 7'o keqj the

 and rellect liow nuiny times you have boon out when you

 displays more appearance of neatness and stylo, but is not so 
 good a defence ; hit by sight, and not by guess, and never 
 attempt either to '• cut " a ball which is straight to the middle 
 stump, or hit round at one coming direct to tho leg wicket ; 
 don't run beyond your strength, and consider your partner : 
 to be run out is almost always the result of bad judgment; 
 tho man who has to make the wicket should judtje the run ; to 
 make tho " short run" is tho perfection of judgment, for tho 
 player who loses tho single run allows his opponents to stand 
 io deep, that fewer runs are got for long hits, besides tho 
 chance of being caught out ;. back your partner up, so as to 
 be ready to start in a moment ; make yoiu* first run quick, 
 which will enable you better to judge whether a second can 
 be prudently attemjited ; in making a run, act with i)romp-

 If you win tlio toss, take tho innings ; for, at tlio c]f)so of 
 a well-contested game, ta uniho the rtnis operates greatly ou 
 tho nervous system. Anxiety afTocts tiie hatsman's eye moro 
 tlian tlio howler's liand; and tho up-hill game is against 
 tho side wliich goes in last. At tlio hcginning, and while tho 
 play is constrained, bring tho field in, and widen it as cir- 
 cumstances require. Tho batsman is generally cautious 
 during tho first half-dozen •♦ overs," and not unfrequcntly 
 gives a catch — besides, that caution is increased, and conse- 
 quently tells in your favor, when he finds his hits closely 
 fielded. In changing a bowler, bring up in his place one who 
 delivers from a different side of the wicket, and whoso stylo 
 and pace are as opposite as possible to his predecessor's ; and 
 bear in mind, that very fast bowluig, unlns strai(jht and of a 
 flood lewith, makes runs against you, and that " round " bow- 
 ling often does more for you in tho field than at tho wicket. 
 Commence the mnings with two steady bats, so as to " beat 
 off" tho bowling, if possible, early in the game. Consult 
 the taste of your mates as to the order of going on ; but bo 
 careful to have always one safe bat at the wicket. *' Shying " 
 at tho wicket is doubtful policy ; but when it has to be done, 
 
22 
 
 throw in sharp, so that the ball shall come, " first hop," to 
 the wicket — which, if it fail to strike, will cause the ball to 
 be more readily stopped by the field, who, of course^ will be 
 •* backing up " for it. And, in selecting an "eleven," where 
 there is a choice between two equally matched batsmen, pre- 
 fer him who is the best field.

 A cap of white flannel, or woollen Shepherd's plaid, is 
 easier and lighter to the head than a hat. A cotton shu*t is 
 px*eferable to linen, because it absorbs the prespiration, and 
 does not so readily chill ; but a cotton Guernsey, with a col- 
 lar made to button like a shirt, is best of all. A cotton 
 or linen tie is better than a silk one, because silk is a non- 
 conductor of heat, and does not absorb prespiration. "Wor- 
 sted or lamb's wool socks are softer to the feet, and less 
 liable to chafe you than cotton. For your shoes, have the 
 two siiikes under the head of the foot, rather higher up the 
 sole t. tu is usually done, and the third close under the divi- 
 sion of the first (or great) and second toe — as, by this 
 arrangement, you will get a firmer tread. If you are hit, 
 rub the bruise well with sweet oil, rather than brandy or

 Secretary and Treasurer, Mr. J. P. Jafifray; Committee, 
 Messrs. Connor, Cutler, J. C. Falls, Bowman, and Samuel 
 Jackson. This Club has for the past four seasons labored 
 under a great disadvantage, from the want of a suitable 
 ground, which made regular practice impossible. The evil 
 has been to a great extent remedied, by the laying down in 
 the Town Park of an excellent piece of sod, 150 x 100 feet, 
 wdiich will require but a small additional expenditure to make 
 it an excellent ground. This ground was inaugurated during 
 the great German Samgerfest, by a match between the coun- 
 ties of Perth and Waterloo, an account of which is given 
 elsewhere. The Club has lost by death its oldest member, 
 James Wilson, Esq., who was in his time an enthusiastic 
 cricketer, and at one period the safest bat in the province. 
 We remember seeing him and his brother John, in 1847, 
 tlien in their prime, almost win for the Province against 
 U. C. College. Very few matches were played last season, 
 the ground not being fit to play on until the latter part of 
 August. This accounts for the disastrous defeat sustained 
 by the Club at the hands of Gait, July 30th, as no ground 
 could be had on which to practise. Berlin, however, had its 
 revenge later in the season. The annual match with Hays- 
 ville was unavoidably postponed. The matches played were,

 This match, which it is to be hoped is the first of a long 
 series, was played on the new ground of tlie Berlin Club, and 
 was decided in favor of Perth, on the first innings. The 
 ground was rather dead, but still good. The comparative 
 smallness of the scores and the largo number of byes were 
 due to the rain, which at last prevented the match from being 
 finished. The stand which gave the victory to Perth, was 
 made by Moscrip and Rae, who made 14 and 22 respectively. 
 For Waterloo, Mr. John Cutler played a very pretty innings 
 for 17, keeping up the good average he has made this season. 
 Mr. Woodcock of Hayesville also played a very neat innings, 
 as did Mr. Edward Jaffray, who made two splendid hits to 
 the on for six. The bowling on both sides was very good. 
 The Perth twelve were composed of six from Stratford and 
 six from St. Mary's. The Waterloos were represented by 
 H. Jaffray (captain), George Simpson, Fitzsimmons, Crozier 
 and Blain, of Gait ; J. Cutler, J. P. Jaffray, J. P. Falls, 
 F. G. Smith and Edward Jaffray, of Berlin ; and Messrs. J.

 The bowling of Messrs. J. P. Jaffray and J. P. Falls, of Ber- 
 lin, for tlio coalition was excellent. In the first innings of 
 the combined Clubs, the best batting was that of two Hays- 
 ville players, Messrs. Cook and Johnson, whose steady play 
 was rewarded by scores of 12 and 14 respectively. In the 
 second innings, Mr. J. P. Falls (Berlin) hit hard for his 21.

 defeated. The second match was played at Simcoe, July 1st, 
 against the Port Rowan Club, who were beaten by 72 to G9, 
 and seven wickets to spare. On the same visit the Young 
 Canadians defeated the Crescents in a single innings game 
 by 60 to 51 ; thus winning a prize of three very handsome 
 pieces of plate given by the merchants of Simcoe, and the 
 junior championship of the Counties of Brant, Norfolk and 
 Haldimand. In the return matches at Brantford, the Young 
 Canadians rej)eated then* victories. They also beat in one 
 innings, wuth 17 runs to spare, the Cayuga Club. The

 It is much to be regretted that cricket has here declined. 
 A few years ago the cai)ital of Prince Edward Island could 
 boast of as good a club as any in the Provinces ; and was 
 only once beaten in a Provincial match. It is intended this 
 year to revive the noble game. There is ample material 
 ready to be put into shape. A beautiful ground has been 
 placed at the disposal of the cricketers through the kindness 
 of the much esteemed Governor, Sir Kobert Hodgson ; who 
 has always manifested an interest in the game. Situated 
 just on the verge of the town, it afibrds easy access to all, 
 and must be a grateful retreat, inasmuch as the close heat 
 of the noon-day sun is here dispelled by the fresh, invigora- 
 ting sea breeze that blows continually. Accurate batting 
 averages and reliable bowling analysis were not kept last 
 year. It may be stated, however, that a strong team may 
 be made up of the three Fitzgeralds, (good all-round players), 
 the three Lon^worths, two Davies', and one or two others, 
 The batting of Mr. F. S. Longworth is particularly good, 
 
80 
 
 and would tost the best bowling. Tlio fust undor-hand of 
 Mr. L. Davies and tlio medium pace round-arm of Mr. W. 
 Hopkirk have proved very dcbtructivo to firbt-class batsmen. 
 We hope at the cloHe of the scaflon to bo able to prcBcnt a 
 more Batisfactory report of the Cliarlottctown C. C.

 CHATHAM. : I ' , f 
 
 The first Cricket Club ever organized in Chatham was in 
 the year 1889 under the name of the "Kent Cricket Club," 
 whose members were very successful in their day ; but after 
 a time had to succumb to the rising generation who made up 
 in agility what they lacked in ability. 
 
 There was no regularly organized club, after the Kent 
 Cricket Club became defunct, until about the year 185G, when 
 the Thames Cricket Club was organized and is now in exis- 
 tence, but under the name of the Chatham Cricket Club. 
 The Chatham Cricket Club being somewhat disorganized for 
 the year 1875, very few matches were played ; but during 
 the season of 1874 twelve first class matches took place, in 
 which the average number of runs per innings was 107. 
 They also won every match but one. Subjomed is the bat- 
 tmg average for the season of 187'4. The officers of the Club 
 are as follows : Sheriff Mercer, Pros. ; Andrew Howard, Esq., 
 Vice.-Pres. ; W. B. Wells, Esq., Secy.-Treas. Of those 
 whose names appear on the battmg average list for 1874, 
 Ebert's is one of the best bowlers m Canada. His bowling 
 came near winning him the cup at the Philadelphia 
 Tournament. Wells makes an efficient secretary ; he also 
 fielded very well at Philadelphia. Whelan, who has since 
 removed to London, is without doubt one of the strongest 
 all round players m the Dominion ; not only is he a hard 
 hitter, but he is the hardest in America. His defensive 
 powers are improving. He was one of two who won a prize 
 bat for score of 60 and upwards at Philadelphia. Wright 
 made the best show as a bowler against the English XII in 
 1872 ; he played but little last year, and that for Toronto.

 The Club was organized fifteen years ago and has been 
 very successful, situated as it is in a country village of about 
 two thousand inhabitants wJierc it is always difficult to re- 
 tain good players, from their seeking employment in larger 
 j)lacos. Tho people of Colborne, who in past years gave no 
 great assistance to tho Club, have of late boon more liberal 
 in promoting the old game, and the club has been enabled to 
 play a largo number of foreign matches with a very credit- 
 able amount of success. Since the foundation of the club 
 there have been played G7 foreign matches, of which 53 were 
 won, 9 lost, and 5 drawn ; and among the adversaries of 
 Colborne in these matches were Montreal, Hamilton, Toronto, 
 Kingston, Port Hope, Belleville, Whitby, Cobourg, Peter- 
 boro', Picton, Napanee and Brighton. The greatest success 
 was attained in 1873, when three successive matches were 
 won in a single innings ; namely, with Napanee in an innings 
 by 166 runs ; Kingston in an innings by 25 runs, and 
 Belleville in an innings by 14 runs ; and in the same year 
 Montreal was defeated in an innings by 50, and Toronto 
 University by 25. A good ground has been secured, and the

 ' Under the able leadership and with the inspiriting examjilo 
 of Major Morris, who for ten years has been their captam, 
 this club have had some unusually successful seasons. One 
 can do no more than win, and of the scores of seven foreign 
 matches now before us, (which seem, however, to have been 
 selected from a series of years), four with the 22nd Regiment, 
 one with Boston, one with the GOth Rifles, and one with 
 Halifax Garrison, every one has been in favor of Fredericton. 
 Of the batsmen. Major Morris, who played in every match, 
 stands first with an average of 24/i, having scored double 
 ligm'es 7// ercri/ imwujs, save on one occasion, when he was 
 left " not out." Messrs. Beckwith, Street and Rosborough, 
 
(the only others who }'lny('(l fivt> nmtchos) hiivo dono j^'ootl 
 Hcrvicc, while MoHsrH. Jordiin, Skene and jenner have, when 
 
 i)rcHcnt, been lowers of strenf^th. ^Vith the hull, Major 
 iIorriH again licads the list witli 01 wiekcts (OJ) bowled), as 
 against (U of the other bowlers, albeit he in one match did 
 not bowl. His average shows C)\ wickets per innings, and 
 his feat of bowling every v.icket in an innings of the GOth 
 Hilles, is seldom paralleled in Canada. We can only regret 
 that no complete analysis of his doings has been sent us. Of 
 the other bowlers. Snider obtained 21 wickets, llanlon, 20, 
 Yates and Barnes (who played only once) and 7 respec- 
 tively, O'Brien 2, Skene and Colwell each 1. 
 
 Cricket in Fredericton is apparently of a very high order, 
 and it is to be hoped that during the coming season the dilH- 
 culties of distance and expense may be sutliciently overcome 
 to allow of meetings with some of the clubs of WcstciTi 
 Canada.

 This Club played 8 foreign matches, winning 5, and losing 
 3. The batting averages will be found below. We regret 
 that the bowling analysis is incomplete, as Simpson, Kay 
 and Simons (especially the first two) . are reported as very 
 efficient with the ball. We commend the folio wiiif? observa- 
 
88 
 
 tioiis of tlio Secretary to the especial notice of all coucenied, 
 "I would suggest the advisability of City Clubs that have a 
 largo membershii) visiting the adjacent Clubs of country 
 towns oftener, and thereby stimulating them to greater e£fort3 
 to further the noble game in their immediate sections. The 
 trouble has hitherto been that City Clubs play most of their 
 matches on their own grounds. They may have had a very 
 good reason for this some time ago in the poor condition of 
 our creases ; but now there are to be found in country towns 
 grounds almost equal to any in the cities, as great attention 
 has been directed of late years to improving the condition of 
 our playmg grounds, simply with a view to having more 
 matches with City Clubs ; which , having the advantages of 
 extensive membership, can have no difficulty in sending? out 
 one or two elevens at any time." ■ , ,,

 . GUELPH. t, 
 
 We have no return from this Club, which is one of the 
 oldest in Ontario. We regret this all the more from the fact 
 that for some years cricket went down, overshadowed by base 
 ball, for which the Gueiphites have obtained a continental 
 reputation. From 1870, however, to 1874, Mr. Fitzgerald 
 did much towards revivmg interest in cricket, which is played, 
 we believe, to some advantage in Guelph. tmu

 The most northerly club in Ontario. Members, about

 follow. The one match played is reviewed under Fenelon

 HAXIFAX. 'o.lHu: ,, J 
 
 A strong garrison in Halifax will always ensure strong 
 supiiort for the game in the capital of Nova Scotia. We pre- 
 sent ample returns of the doings of the Garrison Club, 
 thanks to the great care and kindness of Lieut. Carpenter.

 PRINCIPAL MEMDEltS OF II. G. C. C. 
 
 Captain N. W. Wallace (Captain of the club)— An excellent choice, having; a thorouifh 
 knowledge of the game ; a very hard hitter and danfforous bat when well act, 
 making his runs very quickly. Han lately improved conttidcrably in defence, and 
 cuts beautifully. Owing to an accident to his hand early in the Hoaaon, has Imcu 
 able to bat but little this year. An excellent fluid anywhere, the be»t in the Clul). 
 
 Lieut, th* Hon. Keith Ttirnonr (00th KiflesV-The best all round man in the Club ; a 
 very pretty bat, with good defence and fine wrist play. Wants more practice in hit- 
 ting to leg. A medium-paced round-ann bowler ; very straight, witli a break back ; 
 a capital neld. 
 
 Lieut. II. S. Fanner ^COth Rifles)— A good and heavy hitter, with fair defence, but 
 wants patience ; flelding fair ; a good long-stop ; can bowl. 
 
 Lieut. F. Carpenter, ol the R. I. Fusiliere -A fair Imt, has inipruvcd much since last 
 year, but Is still too craniped, and must hit straighter. A medium paced round- 
 ann bowler, often very effective ; a good fleld. 
 
 Li«ut. T. D. Ilowden (60th Rifles)— His prinuiital strength lies In l>owling— high de- 
 livery, coming very quick off the ground. Is inclineil to bo rather short, effective 
 I)ace, and bowls with his head. Bowling average at the I'hiladeluhia tournament 
 was very good. A fair liold ; batting displays too much forward play, and is too 
 cramped. The only one of the Club who is strong on the leg stump. 
 
 Lie^U. R. C. Daviea (00th Rifles)— A fine bat, lut very unreliable, from want of nerve ; 
 a quick and powerful hitter ; owing to a hod knee, he is an indifferent fleld.

 dium pace, with easy delivery, very effective. Batting, fair when set ; wants more 
 defence ; a good field. 
 
 Lieut. H. Ilolbech (60th Rifles)— A keen and fair cricketer ; has much improved this 
 last season ; a hard hitter, but wants defence and style. Often a very useful man ; 
 a poor fleld, must learn to pick up the ball quicker. 
 
 Capt. Douglas (R. A.)— A very hard hitter, but has little or no defence ; when in, can 
 make runs quickly ; a good tong atop. 
 
 Lieut. If. De B. FenvxickiOOih Rifles>— Has the material for a good cricketer, but is too 
 nervous ; can fleld well when he likes, but often careless ; a good iK)int. 
 
 Capt. Tennant (87th R. I. F.)— A medium-paced round-arm bowler, left hand; some- 
 times very effective ; good defence in batting, but no style ; is a left-hand batsman.

 paced roand-arm bowler. 
 
 Lieut. II. Cumtninga (97th Regt., Bermuda)— A brilliant bat; flrst-class defence and 
 style, with tremendous hitting powers, which he is too fond of exhibiting by 
 hitting up to square leg. Winner of the cup for best average at Philadelphia ; a 
 beautiful field anywhere. 
 
 Lieut. R. Browne, (20th Regt., Bermuda>-A very nice bat, and is a good and safe hitter,

 The Club had a most successful season and we cannot but 
 regret that the late arrival of the returns prevent our noticing 
 individual performances at greater length. The eleven work 
 well together and are thoroughly deserving of success. 
 Wolverton, Kennedy, and Ferric bowled remarkably well 
 throughout the season, and R. K. Hope was conspicuous in

 Officers. — President, James Battersby ; Vice-President, 
 Thos. Wells ; Secy.-Troas., J. Winter. The above, with Jos. 
 Gibson and Walter Berry, form the Committee of Manage- 
 ment. The ground, a natural one, is beautifully situated at 
 no great distance from the liiver Thames, and can be reached 
 from the town in ten minutes' walk. With a small outlay it 
 might be easily converted into one of the most pleasant and 
 convenient grounds in the country ; and it is to be hoped 
 that the position of Ingersoll, so conveniently accessible from 
 such prominent centres of cricket as Chatham and London, 
 may lead to the firm establishment of the game, and to the 
 friendly spirit of rivalry with neighboring clubs which is so 
 essential to the well being of an individual club and to the 
 interest felt in its performances by the community at large. 
 Of the doings of this Club in 1876 we have unfortunately no 
 record. A few matches were played, but not nearly enough 
 to sustain vitality in a Club. This season we hope to hear 
 of better results.

 Owing to losH of grountl this once famous Club labors under 
 temporary Rusponsion. With such an energetic roHideut 
 cricketer as W. P. Street (who played for Canada at Halifax,) 
 it seems incredible that this state of thuigs can last. One 
 move in the right direction has indeed been made in the or- 
 ganization of the London Asylum C. C. From the proceedings 
 Jit the meeting of April Ctli, we learn that some outsiders have 
 found refiuje (as cricketers) in the Asylum. President, Dr. 
 H. Landor ; Vice-President, Mr. R. Matheson ; Captain, Dr. 
 B. Lett ; Secy, and Trcas., Dr. T. J. W. Burgess; Commit- 
 tee, Messrs. J. R. Cooke, G. England, W. Meek, and Wm. 
 Brown. A number of gentlemen living around the city hav- 
 ing expressed a desire to become honorary members of the 
 Club, it was resolved that they be allowed the privilege of 
 becoming such after being duly proposed and elected on pay- 
 ment of an annual subscription fee of five dollars.

 As is SO often the case m Canada, the bowhng analysis

 Messrs. Hardman and Torrance doing good service on 
 several occasions.

McLean generally Cajitains the Eleven — a resolute deter- 
 mined bat, whose wicket is a hard one to get ; a good left-hand 
 howler, medium pace ; good judge of the game, and as fine an 
 old round cricketer as the Dominion can produce. Played 
 with the Canada XII at Philadelphia, when he averaged lOf . 
 The Montreal ground is situated on St. Catharine Street ; 
 and too much credit cannot be accorded to H. Miller, the 
 Club professional, for the excellent wicket he always present- 
 ed to strangers, and for his general management of the ground 
 during the season. ./rv/i-1 
 
 The St. George's Club was organized in May, 1873, and 
 in 1874 numbered only 82 members, which increased to 80 
 the following year. In 1875, eight matches were i)layed by 
 the first eleven, and two by the second : —

 The Club would seem to be in a highly prosperous con- 
 dition, and to have an annually increasing membership. Its 
 financial prosperity (with a balance from last year on the 
 right side), will tend to the improvement of the already good 
 ground. There is also some prospect of a professional.

 No Club enjoys a rarer privilege than this in the very fine 
 
57 
 
 ground placed at its disposal by the kindness of His Excellency 
 the Governor-General, and contiguous to the Vice-Regal 
 residence, Rideau Hall. The ground is in the middle of a 
 ten acre field, beautifully situated at a distance of a mile and 
 a quarter from the Parliament Buildings. A space of 100 
 yards square was laid out when Lord Monck came to Ottawa, 
 under the superintendence of his Military Secretary, Captain 
 (now Major) Pemberton, of the 2nd Batt. 6pth Rifles. 
 Canadian players will long have reason to remember with 
 gratitude this keen cricketer. For some years, however, it 
 was found impossible to keep the ground in order in the heat 
 of summer ; now that a supply of water is always available, 
 two hundred feet of hose will keep the whole ground fresh 
 during the severest droughts. The members of the Club 
 seem to be awakening to a sense of the inestimable facilities 
 which have fallen to their lot ; and the season of 1875 marks 
 a new era in the history of a Club already in the enjoyment 
 of some celebrity. Among other improvements made was 
 the erection of a very commodious stand, with capacious 
 lunch-room beneath. With the improvements to be made 
 this year it will be as serviceable a structure of its kind as 
 
 can be found in the country. ; .st ;t 
 
 We find it extremely difiicult to speak of the relative posi- 
 tion of Ottawa among the Clubs of Canada. In 1874 the 
 Club sent 6 representatives to the Halifax Tournament ; but 
 this was rather in consequence of the apathy of the other 
 clubs than because of the inherent strength of the 0. C. C. 
 Of five matches played since 1872 with Toronto, four have 
 been in favour of Ottawa ; of 10 with Montreal in the same 
 time Ottawa has won only 4 ; and yet Toronto ought to be 
 stronger than Montreal. Tlie great trouble here is that 
 Ottawa stands so much above the Clubs of Central Canada — 
 say from Port Hope to Montreal — that it is very difficult to 
 get strong elevens against her. At the same time it must be 
 admitted that Belleville, Kingston and Prescott have occa- 
 sionally given Ottawa a hard tustle, and even beaten her. 
 It would be to the interest of all if these contests were more 
 
5H 
 
 froquont than they are. For «oino years the Chib has aont 
 out a travelUng eleven as far west as Hamilton. In the 
 absence of a Canadhin I. Z., these annual movements of 
 elevens of the Montreal, Ottawa, Colborne, Toronto, Hamil- 
 ton and Grimsby Clubs must have tended to excite interest 
 in the game. 
 
 As the chief players will be mentioned in the following 
 resume, wo have no intention of dwelling on their several 
 capabilities. Tho weaknesses of the Club are Ist, want of a 
 reliable bowler ; 2nd, indisposition to practise fielding ; 8rd, 
 absence of confidence in one another. It will bo admitted 
 that it has taxed to the utmost the energy and fondness for 
 the game of tho Rev. T. J), Phillipps to maintain that 
 harmonious co-operation of the members, without which no 
 Association can prosper. The season of 1875 was, on the 
 whole, a good one. The July Tournament drew to Ottawa 
 some of the best cricket talent of Ontario and Quebec. The 
 prospects for the present year are of the brightest. The 
 opening match will be played on the Queen's Birthday, 
 "Civil Service r«. City." i ;< a xbnV'

 bowling of Wool vur ton and Kennedy for Hamilton was of the 
 best fi'om first to last, while that of Brodie and Fitz- 
 gerald for Ottawa was also well sustained throughout the 
 only innings of Hamilton. This was the first defeat sustained

 This first engagement between two clubs enjoying a high 
 reputation in their respective sections excited no small 
 interest in cricketing circles. The fact that the one had de- 
 feated Toronto on the same day that the other had Montreal, 
 made each anxious to meet the other. The Ottawa men left 
 home determined to win, indeed it was one of the very few 
 occasions on which they showed that quiet resolution which 
 is an augury of success. The game was played throughout very 
 spiritedly ; the bowling on both sides being remarkably good, 
 hence the absence of long scores. For the winners, Brunei 
 scored 2.S and 0, Burke, 4 and 18, A. W. Powell 8 and 15, 
 Fitzgerald, 2 and 11, Scott 10 and 2, Phillipps, 1 and 10, G. 
 Powell 10 and 1. For Port Hope, Fisher (5 and 20) alone 
 
obtained a double figure. Brodio and Fitzgerald bowled

 Incessant rain having completely spoilt the wicket, tho 
 stumps were removed to the eastern side of the ground, and 
 tho game proceeded with under considerable difficulties of 
 wind and weather ; and in opposition to tho advice of tho 
 older heads. For tho homo team, Stotesbury obtained 20, 
 Liddell 14, and Goldie 11. Rev. T. D. Phillipps' 18 was tho 
 only double figure on tho side of Ottawa. Boyd for Toronto, 
 bowled 9 wickets for 20 runs in 07 balls. Two accidents 
 occurred diu'ing the game — Mr. Brodie, in attempting a catch 
 at sharp leg, had his fingers cut open ; and Mr. Heward, 
 while batting had his little finger broken. The same night 
 the Ottawa team went over to St. Catharines.

 It was very unfortunate that tlicso Hti'ong cUiIjh could not 
 compete on even terms, ho that the Ottawa might have had a 
 chance to wui hack her lost laurels. As it was, deprived of 
 thoir hest bowler, and disabled in other respects, the Ottawa 
 eleven sustained in Hamilton its most sovero defeat. For tho 
 winners, the top scorers were, Leggo BO, \Voo)verton 23. For 
 Ottawa, IJrunel 17 and 8 (not out). A remarkable feature of 
 this match was tho bowling of young Ferrie, in the second 
 innings of Ottawa, which gave tho following analysis : C5 
 balls, maidens, runs, 6 wickets.

 14. Lloyd bowled 124 balls for 17 runs and 12 wickets ; 
 Rutherford 115 balls for 15 runs and 4 wickets. Moore 
 (6 wickets for 20 runs) was the most successful bowler on the 
 losing side. 
 
 In addition to the foregoing a match was played with 
 Whitby at Port Hope, resulting in a victory for Peterboro' by 
 2 runs. Of this exciting game wc have unfortunately no 
 record ; but we remember that Laing, iu the first innmgs of 
 Whitby, scored 41, and that C. J. Logan at the 'finish' 
 bowled 7 overs for 1 run and 2 wickets. Cricket is capitally 
 supported in Peterboro' and the team is one of considerable 
 strength. We should like to see them pitted against some of 
 the larger clubs.

 Officers for 1876. — President, Col. A. T. H. Williams ; 
 1st Vice-Pres., A. Hugel, Esq. ; 2nd Vice-Pres., Hon. J. 
 Lawrence ; Captain, Mr. J. N. Kirclihoffer ; Secy., Mr. R. A. 
 Macgregor; Treas., Mr. W.B.Wallace; Committee of Manage- 
 ment, Messrs. J. G. Hall, J. G. King, and C. P. Fisher. 
 
 The Club in 1875 j)layed 12 matches, winning 8, viz. : 
 Toronto (2), Peterboro', Belleville, Colborne, Hamilton, Mon- 
 treal, and Trinity College School ; and being defeated by 
 Toronto (1) and Ottawa. The return match with Peterboro' 
 ended in a draw. .kvw y^'^^r■l • 
 
 J. N. Kirehhoffer, (Marlborough) bats in splendid form and may be fully relied on for 
 
 a score ; an invaluable Captain ; Iiis eleven ought to learn more from him than 
 
 they do. 
 0. F. Uall, a most useful all-round man ; dangerous bat when well set, litting freely 
 
 to all points ; good change bowler and magnificent field, especially at long stop ; 
 
 played at Philadelphia. 
 C, P. Fisher, has done excellent service as a bowler ; a right good bat, but rather 
 
 unlucky ; fine field and sure catch. 
 W. Bletcher, an improving steady bat and fair change bowler ; has frequently saved a 
 
 match, but lacks life in all departnfents of the game. 
 II. Read, the bowler of the eleven, very fast and straight when in practice ; would be 
 
 a most useful bat if he played more. 
 J. Q. Hall, good, sound bat, and almost invariably scores when runs are wanted ; sharp 
 
 wicket keeper. 
 J. W, Fraser, splendid field and throws beautifully ; too fond of a "slog." 
 //. A. Ward, fine field and hard-hitting bat, though very wild. 
 E. J. W. Burton, does a little of everything, and is a particularly fine field at short 
 
 slip ; was a most efficient secretary for the last three years. 
 H. A. Macgregor, sure field with quick return ; for his batting see averages. ( : --'i 
 W. B. Wallace, did not come off last year ; hope for better thmgs this sea.son. 
 
 J. G. King, R. Howell, and H. Hall are not mentioned in the foregoing repoit. The 
 former is a bat of great defemive power, and the two latter are very promising all 
 rou'id players. G. Behan and Lonsdale also played in the great match with Toronto, 
 but are not mentioned ; nor do we hear anything of the Rev. F. A. Bethune, whose 
 batting undoubtedly won the 1st of July match with the same Club. 
 Port Hope, playing wdll together under the best of Captains, are a hard club to beat.

 other won by Prescott with seven wickets to spare. The 
 bowling of Melville, McLarry and Peden was very good, also 
 the batting of Hulbert, Hillyard, Whitley, and Press. It is 
 the intention of the Club to visit several cities and towns in 
 Ontario during the season of 1876. Office bearers for the

 In 1858 we wrote of this Club : "To Toronto is undoubted- 
 ly due the merit of being the nursery of Canadian Cricket. 
 For many years this Club has borne the whole burden of 
 
71 
 
 arranging any and every Canadian event relating to the game, 
 and the Club will have reason to remember the year 1857 as 
 the first in which it received any decided assistance in the 
 necessary labour. The history of cricket in Toronto would 
 alone fill an interesting volume." If this was true eighteen 
 years ago, still more is the latter part of it true at the present 
 day. Other Clubs have indeed stepped in to take their share 
 of the arrangement of events; Hamilton, Ottawa, Montreal, 
 and other cities may be seen annually sending elevens on 
 ♦*tours" of a week or more in various parts of the country ; 
 but Toronto, while still maintaining her full share of outside 
 work and keeping up the yearly gathering of cricketers at 
 her great "week," continues to play on her own ground 
 matches, a full account of which woiUd fill not only " one 
 interesting volume" but many ; and the number of homo 
 and foreign matches recorded in our present issue bears 
 ample testimony to the vitality and energy of the Club. The 
 past season has been on the whole a successful one, though 
 few first-class clubs have played on the ground, and one or 
 two defeats have been suffered, which common prudence in 
 the selection and management of teams might have averted. 
 The great want has been the lack of unity. Unfortunately 
 many of the best players have but little leisure to devote to 
 the game, so that the same eleven rarely play together in 
 matches and there is no one in the Club who, as a Captain, 
 can either thoroughly know the play or command the confi- 
 dence of his entire following. Under the new Secretary, 
 Mr. W. P. Pickering, the world-renowned cover-point, matches 
 are being fixed before the season opens, and it is hoped that 
 by making their arrangements beforehand the best players 
 may contrive to be always on hand. The same judicious 
 management portends, we hope, a resuscitation of the finan- 
 ces, always a source of weakness, and in a club where gentle- 
 men of independent means are few and far between always 
 hkely to be so, except with the most rigid economy'. Dur- 
 ing the season, Greenfield, Liddell, E. Spragge, Sproule, 
 Totten, Harper, Gamble, and others have done good service 
 
72 
 
 with tlie bat and in tlio field ; the fielding has been better 
 than in former years, and on some occasions quite up t*o tho 
 mark. Of the bowlers Baines has been consistently useful ; 
 Boyd 'came off' with a vengeance on two memorable occa- 
 sions ; Greenfield's "shows" have been frequently successful; 
 Campbell did some execution at Port Hope and Ottawa, and 
 Harper has done good service ; but the want of reliable bowl- 
 ing has been sadly felt. It is to be hoped tliat this season 
 Mr. Blake will have sufficiently recovered from tho accident 
 which has so long kept him out of the field to display onco 
 more his unrivalled powers of bowling. Should he be in tho 
 field Toronto may look forward to many a future success 
 but witliout one reliable bowler the eleven can never do them 
 selves justice. - -- -j; 
 
 Among the members of the Yorkvillo Club, who amalga 
 mated with Toronto, are many promising young players 
 notably Fred Blake, who is a first-rate field, with consider 
 able batting powers. It is greatly to be regretted that an 
 unfortunate accident early in the season deprived the Club of 
 the services of Mr. R R. Boulton, Captain of U. C. College. 
 He had up to that time averaged 21 runs an innings, and 
 is a most formidable bat. We hope to see him again in the 
 field this year. ^ <i-j«.» ;• ini.. 
 
 We regret that our space will not allow us to notice the 
 individual merits of the chief players of Toronto. Spragge 
 and Greenfield were useful members of the Canadian Twelve 
 at Philadelphia, and of the rest it is sufficient to say that 
 among them there are many names widely known throughout 
 the country, and that could the best eleven of Toronto be 
 assembled under a good Captain there Are few Clubs capable 
 of holding their own against them. ao vfu-i

 Armstrong, 87; Edgar, 14, and Irvine, 11. Armstrong 
 shewed very good cricket, and his imiings was ended by a 
 somewhat dubious decision. The bowling of White and

 The "Limbfl of the Law" began well, JohnBon scoring 82 
 (not out) ; Pitt 20 ; Gordon, 25 (a really good inningH,) and 
 Molvillo, 11 ; but Oreonfield completely collared their bowling 
 and scored 82 in grand stylo ; his hitting being cspeciallv 
 good and clean ; and by the aid of Frank Blake (26), 1. 
 Murray (20, not out), and Campbell (12), the total was run 
 up to 211, leaving the Club 86 to the good. The Law were 
 unequal to the task, and succumbed to the bowlhig of Qroeu-

 Greenfield (2 and 82), Pickering (84 and 10), Uixipcr (20

 wore the loading contributors on the side of Mr. Howard, 
 who himself immortalized the occasion by obtaining "spec-

 Gordon, 15 and 4 (not out) ; Wright, 1 and 12 ; Patton, 11

 Toronto. Upper Canada U .llepre 130 25 .... 165 
 
 U. C. College won by 6 wicketn. 
 
 This match was played for the first time in 1874, upon 
 which occasion U. C. College won by eight wickets. U. C. 
 College in past years has done more for cricket and produced 
 more cricketers than any other club in the country. Nearly 
 every Canadian player of note learnt his cricket there, and 
 for many years they were able to withstand the united forces 
 of the Province, and generally with success. The last of 
 these encounters took place in. 1878, since which year, owing 
 to the difficulty of getting fau-ly representative elevens 
 
78 
 
 together, the match has heen discontinued. It was with a 
 view to supplying in some measure the place of this annual 
 event that the present contest was established, in the hope of 
 stimulating the growth of the game among the rising genera- 
 tion of both institutions, and renewing the supply of young 
 cricketers, which of late years has been unequal to the 
 requirements of the clubs. In this year's match, the honor 
 of U. 0. College was ably upheld with the bat by Messrs. 
 T. W. Langton 22, J. 0. Heward, 21, R. D. Gamble 21, 
 A. M. Baines 17, W. H. Draper 15 (not out), and T. Murray 
 12. For the younger school, H. J. Campbell played two 
 steady defensive innings of 13 and 14 ; S. Macklem 13 and 
 5. C. J. Logan 12 and 6, and J. S. Howard 7 and 9, being 
 also entitled to commendation, especially the last-named. 
 In the last innings Mr. Logan was quite unplayable, and the 
 25 runs required for victory cost five wickets, among the a 
 Messrs. Heward, Gamble, and Spragge. Trinity College 
 School wore disappointed in three i)layers, two of whom 
 were bowlers, too late to fill their places satisfactorily, and 
 consequently played somewhat at a disadvantage. Baines, 
 and in the second innings Laing bowled steadily and well.

 This match was for a silver cup, offered by Lieut. -Col. 
 Cumberland, President of the Toronto Club, and Mr. A. 
 Hugel, Vice-President of their opponents, to go for the best 
 two out of three annual matches. Much interest was felt in 
 the game, and much fictitious interest was aroused by the 
 partizan feelings of many short-sighted individuals in both 
 clubs, who seem incapable of appreciating cricket for its own 
 sake, and apparently regard it as a vehicle for petty jealousy 
 and absurd local pride, disi)layed chiefly in betting on the 
 game. It is to be hoped that this pernicious and disrepu- 
 table practice will never gain ground in Canadian cricket 
 circles. Its estabUshment would inevitably cause the com- 
 plete ruin of the game in this country. The Port Hopers in 
 their first innings were unable to resist the attack of Boyd, 
 who was in most destructive form, Kirchhoffer alone making 
 a stand with a carefully-obtained 15. Toronto scored 81, of 
 which E. W. Spragge and A. J. Greenfield were each credited 
 with 26. The second essay of Port Hope produced 63, Kir- 
 chhoffer, whose batting in this match was beyond all praise, 
 
81 
 
 again scoring 27 in splendid form ; J. G. Hall's eleven was 
 the only other double figure. The required 10 runs were 
 easily knocked off by Greenfield and Liddell without the loss 
 of a wicket. The fielding of both teams was splendid, 
 Spragge, G. Hall, Harper, and Fraser being especially con- 
 spicuous. Mr. T. C. Patteson, who had not played for some 
 three years before the match, kept wicket for Toronto in very 
 good form, and deserves the greatest credit for his performance.

 Newmarket brought a very good team into the field and in

 fielding, by 89 runs, the chief scorers being Blois, 18 (not 
 out) ; Atkinson, 15 ; Barnard, 15 ; Pearson, 12 ; W. Hm-rell, 
 9. The last two wickets added 49 to the score. In the 
 second innings, however, Toronto scored better, and it is much 
 to be regretted that rain in the middle of the day prevented 
 the completion of what promised to be a very interesting 
 match. The runs on the side of Toronto were monopo- 
 Hzed by R. Harper, 12 and 29 ; J. W. Hector, 20 and 20 
 (not out) ; H. Campbell, 5 and 29. Slianly obtamed 5

 Toronto's first innings. Port Hope, in tlio absence of their 
 captain (Kirchliotfer), on the first day sliowecl signs of de- 
 moralization, but his arrival before the innings was completed, 
 and his timely contribution of 25, made in his usual first-class 
 style, inspired them with fresh vigor, and the total fell only 
 8 short of that of the enemy, Ward scoring 14, J. Hall 10, 
 and Fisher 18. Toronto in their second venture fell short at 
 G2, of which Spragge, who is entitled to the greatest praise 
 for his batting in this match, obtained 17, again carrying out 
 his bat. Boyd's 12 was the only other double figure. Port 
 Hoj)e had now 71 to win, and when four wickets had fallen 
 for very few runs, G. Hall and Kirchhoffer (run out) failing 
 to score, their lu'ospects seemed decidedly gloomy, but Fisher 
 (12) and J. G. Hall (25) put a new face on the situation, the 
 latter especially playing a fine innings at the critical point, 
 and Bletcher carrying out his bat for a wonderfully stubborn 
 13, during which his disregard of pads and gloves subjected 
 him to very severe punishment ; the visitors succeeded in 
 scoring a victory with one wicket to spare. Baines bowled 
 well for Toronto, who certainly did not change their attack 
 nearly often enough, or the result might have been different. 
 Fisher and Bead, especially the latter, did good service with 
 the ball for Port Hope. / . ;, ;: ^. -. ^...^

 The victory was highly creditable to Port Hope, whose 
 batting in the last innings, though undoubtedly lacking in 
 brilliancy, was certainly superior to the attack of their oppo- 
 
64 
 
 ncnts. A peculiar feature of this match was the hattUuf of 
 substitutes (?) on both sides, who, happening to prove useful 
 with the bat, caused no little ill feeling. So uncrickct-liko a 
 proceeding ought never to disgrace a first-class match.:' Im-

 On the part of the Old Countrymen, for whom Swinyard, 
 (11 wickets,) and J. "Wright, (0 wickets,) bowled remarkably 
 well, W. P. Pickering scored 21 and 4 ; J. Whelan, 2 and

 The honour of Canada was upheld by G. F. Hall, 2 and 30 
 (not out) ; J. B. Laing, 7 and 18, and Sproule, 4 and 10. 
 Laing, in the first innings, bowled 80 balls for 21 runs and 
 8 wickets, a fine performance. Baines in the second had 78 
 balls for 28 runs and G wickets. Eain, which fell during the 
 last innings, undoubtedly had some influence on the result 
 of the game. The finish, like that of the precedmg match, 
 was very exciting, as the last man was absent and the fall of 
 one wicket would have given victory to the Old Countrymen ; 
 but Hall and Campbell were equal to the occasion, and the 
 8 runs were easily obtained. Hall's not out innings of 8G 
 was made in fine, free style against the best of bowling. The 
 fielding on both sides was good.

 This match, like the other two, assumed a different com-

 played a very fine innings of 40, and F. W. Armstrong also 
 displayed good form in his 32. Baines (25), Boyd (12 not 
 out), Pickering (10), and Johnson (10) were the other con- 
 tributors to the total of 164, made against the bowling of 
 Swmyard, Whelan, Campbell, Leggo, W. B. Wells, &c. The 
 Non-Eesidents, who lost several wickets on Friday in very

 bad light, copnplcted tliok inuings on tlio second day with a 
 minority of 80 and consequently Sollowed on. The second

 which number Whelan, who in the preceding innings was 
 bowled by Parson for 5, scored 04, a magnificent innings, 
 including a square-leg Lit over the south fence for G. Tho 
 other batsmen worthy of mention were B. W. Waud, 20 ; 
 Loimt, 10 and 25 ; Leggo, 8 and IG, and Crowe, 11. When 
 time was called 8 wickets were down for 19 ; Armstrong 
 falling for 7, and Totten for 0. Baines for the Residents

 the old ground, and notwithstanding tho numerical weakness 
 of the Club there has been a balance of success in its favour. 
 Out of eighteen matches played in tho last threo years, 
 (we have no records extending further back), four only havo 
 been lost and six won. Many of theso behig afternoon 
 matches were unfinished, and in eleven out of tho eighteen 
 success inclined to tho side of Trinity. In 187-1 tho joint 
 analysis of Messrs. Sills and Campbell showed 255.4 overs 
 (of 5 balls each) for 250 runs and 07 wickets. Durhig tho 
 past season one match w^as lost out of five. Baines, Irving, 
 and Sills were consx)icuous with the bat ; Baines and Logan 
 with the ball. Cricket is most energetically kept up in tho 
 College, and we are glad to hear that there is a probability of 
 the Club commencing next season free from debt.

 TI'ic Trinity batsinou were uiiiiMe in the first innings to 
 withstaml tlio deliveries of Mont-^'onicry and Atkinson, both 
 of wlioin were in very good form. In tho kocoikI, Irving 25, 
 and Ounno 10, made an excellent stand, putting on 41 by 
 good Hoinid cricket before they were separated, and Macklom 
 hit freely and well for his 82 (not out.) Montgomery again 
 bowled well, obtaining 7 wickets for 80 runs ; and ho was 
 also top-scorer of his side with 10 and 12 ; Boulton coming 
 next with (j and 11. For Trinity, Campbell obtained 10 
 wickets in 135 balls at a cost of 20 runs, and Marshall iii tho 
 first innings liad 4 wickets for runs. . -v

 Tho Banks mustered a strong batthig team, but as few of 
 them had had any practice they succumbed for very small 
 scores to the really splendid bowling of Logan and Baines, 
 l)oth of whom were in remarkably fine form. Tho only one 
 to obtain double figures was Gamble, of Toronto, who played 
 a most plucky innings of 20 in tho second essay. Tho 
 principal scorers on tho winr :ng side were E. Spraggo, 19 ; 
 Logan, 18; Palmer, 17. Tho fielding on both sides was 
 good. The following analysis deserves notice : C. J. Logan, 
 115 balls, 20 runs, 8 maidens, 9 wickets. A. M. Baines 112 
 balls, 85 runs, 9 maidens, 10 wickets.

 and Stuart. 
 
 The ground, one of the most beautiful that can be imagined, 
 has been the scene of many a well-contested game ; but during 
 the past season one match only w^as played, against a team of 
 the Toronto Club, upon which occasion R. K. Hope distin- 
 guished himself by scoring GO (not out) out of a total of 94 
 runs. This year we hope that notwithstanding the shortness 
 of their season the Club will play a fair number of matches, 
 and we are glad to notice several valuable additions to then* 
 Inlaying strength. Their match wdth Trinity College ought 
 to be one of the best of the season.

 This Club appointed as their Cricket Committee for 187C, 
 Messrs. E. Harper, J. H. Brock, and C. W. Hilliard. Nino 
 matches were played last year and with success, We cannot 
 but admire the hberality and common sense which brings 
 together Lacrosse and Cricket on the same gromid.

 WESTMINISTER, B. C. • - 
 
 We have no definite returns from the "Pacific Slojie," but 
 we have the authority of E. Dewdney, Esq., M. P., — himself 
 a keen cricketer — ^for stating that cricket is played with con- 
 siderable spirit in the extreme western section of the Domi- 
 nion. One or two games are played e\Try season against the 
 fleet. Two were played against San Francisco, Cal., "home 
 and home match." Some of us may live to sec British 
 Columbia takmg her full share in a series of Inter-Provincial 
 matches.

 ^ "'•■' EEVIBW or THE SEASON. 
 
 Although we have allotted a chapter to a review of tho 
 season of 1875 in Canada, we find it so difficult to institute 
 a comparison between the Clubs, that we might well be ex- 
 cused had we omitted this branch of our subject entirely. 
 There is the less need of any detailed review, because the pre- 
 ceding pages speak for themselves more persuasively tiiau 
 any general criticism, which indeed must be all but unintel- 
 ligible, or certainly inconvenient, as long as it is utterly 
 impossible to distinguish between first and second class 
 matches. When less dependence is placed on mere batting 
 averages, when more careful analysis of the bowling becomes 
 general, when the according of greater credit to the man who 
 saves runs in the field ensures more accurate stopping of 
 balls and quicker returns to the wicket-keei^er, and less 
 missmg of catches, and when a Canadian I. Z. Twelve i)lay 
 matches from one end of Canada to another, and thus afford 
 a fair medium of comj)arison, it will be time enough to com- 
 mence guaging the relative standing of Clubs and of indi- 
 vidual members. Suffice it to state here that never before 
 was the game so much played in Canada. We have ourselves 
 indicated the existence of some 200 Clubs. We believe that 
 over 600 exist in the Dominion.

 If it bo coucetletl that the aclvancemout of the game of 
 Cricket is a benefit to the community at hirge, and that it 
 must not be allowed to depend only ui)on a supply of cricket- 
 ers from the mother country, then the quebtion "how is 
 cricket played by the boys of Canada ?" becomes one of sur- 
 passing interest to every lover of the game. So thorough a 
 course of training as is obtained in the great English Public 
 School is of course unattainable here ; but if our opportunities 
 are small there is all the more reason that we should study 
 to turn them to the greatest advantage. This, we fear, is 
 seldom or never done. Our coming cricketers are for the 
 most part allowed to play on grounds where it is next to im- 
 possible to hit more than one ball out of six, and personal 
 safety is a much more pressing consideration than the 
 acquisition of science. Rarely have they the advice of any 
 more experienced i)layer, and still more rarely are they willing 
 to profit by such advice. And so they go on in entire ignor- 
 ance of the principles of the game, doomed to utter failure 
 almost before they have handled a bat, imagining that the 
 art of bowlmg lies in pace, and making a hero of any one 
 who can get twenty runs by promiscuously " slogging" bad 
 bowling against worse fielding. The only wonder is that any 
 of them ever learn to bat at all ; but fortunately there are a 
 chosen few, "r«ri iiantes in yimjlte vasto,'" who, by reading 
 the theory of the game, or by constantly observing and 
 
00 
 
 imitating' the best players in some f^ood Club, liave learnt 
 that defence must be learnt before hitthi^s and that live 
 mmutes straight and steady play is worth more in the end 
 than on hour of careless "slogging." All honour to such 
 exceptions ! but exceptions they are, and without a general 
 improvement in the style of our school cricket no decided 
 advance can be looked for in cither the popularity or the 
 utility of the game. To secure this improvement two things 
 arc necessary : better grounds and competent instruction. 
 The latter of these requisites, if no qualiiied teacher be at 
 hand, may be secured by studying any of the numerous 
 admirable treatises on the game and by securing such hmts 
 in actual practice as can be given by almost any average 
 player. The former is the more difficult of attainment, for 
 it brings us face to face with our direst foe, the la k of money. 
 But surely if parents could understand and if school autliori- 
 ties would bring homo to them the immense advantage which 
 must accrue to a boy from the possession of an accomplish- 
 ment which brings him both health and amusement, a pas- 
 time which affords both an endless variety of interest and an 
 endless supply of wholesome and innocent recreation, a diver- 
 sion which he may commence at the age of ten and continue 
 to enjoy after sixty, if they could but understand the value 
 of having a pursuit which fills the place of many less inno- 
 cent and less honorable amusements, then a judicious 
 liberality wovad secure this most desirable end ; and with 
 good grounds we might confidently hope for better cricket. 
 In one or two of our school clubs a move has been made 
 in the right direction, and the rising generation can at 
 any rate play with tolerable safety to life and limb, but very 
 much yet remains to be done ere grounds can be considered 
 satisfactory ; and even when all has been effected that con- 
 stant application of water and the roller can accomplish, 
 there must be secured a more steady and diligent cultivation 
 of the habit of correct play in practice, before our schools can 
 hope to do themselves justice as nurseries and fosterers of the 
 manly game. . . - -■ o - — ^.^^_.,

 Of tho schools of wliioli wo luivo rocord, Ui)pei* Canada 
 Colhiffo can alono bo said to liavo prodiicod a ^Toat number 
 of crickoterH; and anion;,' thoso who learnt tho game at that 
 school will bo foiuid almost every Canadian of noto in 
 Ontario. Lately tho supply has fallen oft*, but last year's 
 eleven was an unusually strong one, and now that there is a 
 good supply of water on the ground, a return to tho old times 
 may bo hoped for. llellmuth Colk go can show two or threo 
 names well known in Canada, but its intiuenco ou the cricket 
 of tho country has been but slight. Wo hear of no matches 
 played by this School during tho past year. Of Bishop's 
 ColJcgo School, Lennoxvillo, wo luivc no information other 
 than that contained in our report, and tho same remark 
 applies to Berlin High School, and Gait Collegiate Institute. 
 Tho Clubs of Ottawa Collegiate Institute, and Wentworth 
 School, Hamilton, have not yet had their first season. 
 
 Trinity College School has been in existence for several 
 years, but cannot bo said to have produced any player of 
 eminence, though several good elevens have been turned out, 
 and more than ono of her soas promises to attain distinction. 
 Our necessarily slight information is not sufficient to allow 
 of a comparison between last year's school elevens. Next 
 season we hope to give a more satisfactory account, but tho 
 difficulty of doing so is considerably increased by tho fact 
 that distance and other considerations prevent tho schools 
 from playing with each other. Matches have been played 
 by some of them in past years, and it is to be hoped that an 
 effort will be made to renew them, and wo would urge upon 
 all •' old boys " of the schools, and upon the fiiends of cricket 
 generally, the desirability of encouraging these meetings to 
 tho utmost of their power, so that we may one day have to 
 chronicle contests bearing tho same relation to Canadian 
 cricket as the Eton and Harrow matches do to English. s

 of the Trustees provided for the Institute the finest High 
 School building in all Ontario. The llev. T. D. rhillij)ps. 
 Mathematical Master, now one of the fathers of Canadian 
 cricket, at once got the boys together, and a club was started 
 which promises well. The boys have the use of the Cartier

 / r UPPER CANADA COLLEGE. f , . , v 
 
 *'U. C. C. has, from tlic iiifano}* of the game in Canada, 
 Leon noted as a nm-scryof cricketers." So we wrote in 1858: 
 ■we Imve no reason for amending the statement. Certainly 
 no institution in the Dominion has tm*ned out so many good 
 players. Notwithstanding the constant arrival of new men 
 from the Old Country, the annual match, U. C. College rrrsus 
 the Province, i.e. Ontario, has invariahly resulted in favour 
 of the cx-pupils of the College. The writer witnessed the 
 first of these contests in 184G, and since then only four games 
 have gone to the Province. It is gratifying to find the game 
 well supported at the College, though we hope to be pardoned 
 for expressing the wish to see a little more energy devoted to 
 cricket during the ensuing season. The jiossession of a great 
 name involves the grave responsibility of sustaining it with 
 credit. Of the old players, only Messrs. J. 0. Heward, 13. 
 Parsons, and Rev. T. D. Phillipps, are now seen on the 
 elevens. We must not omit to mention the irreparable loss 
 which Canadian cricket has sustained in the death last year 
 of G. A. Barber, Esq., formerly a Master in U. C. CJollege, 
 and justly entitled to the honorable designation of "the father 
 of cricket in Canada." No man can ever exi)ect to have his 
 opportunities of advancing the interests of the game, and cer- 
 tainly no one could have used them to gi*eater advantage 
 than he. It is only fau' to add, however, that the rising 
 generation of cricketers is lastingly indebted to the Resident 
 IMaster, John Martland, Esq., who has for several years done 
 much to keep up a thorough espnt da corj^s among the boys, 
 and to whose example no less than precept the old CoUege 
 may attribute its cricket position to-day, and prospects for the 
 future. To say that he is the master spirit of the College 
 athletics, is the least that we can say of him. '*^> ■

 We observe that no account is taken of the match i:)layed 
 on June 24th with Toronto Juniors, probably because the 
 score was kept in the Toronto books. Montgomery's 38 
 (not out) would have raised his average to 25, and Atkinson's 
 bowling would have been a useful addition to his analysis. 
 The "wides" are also omitted (!), and we are surprised to 
 find no mention of C. Atkinson, a promising player and 
 
104 
 
 useful member of the eleven. Next year we hope for more 
 complete returns.

 TSE Z1TTEI11TATZ02TAL MATCSES. 
 By T. D. ?. 
 
 The matches between the United States and Canada date 
 back to the year 1847. About this year one of tlie games 
 •was brought to an abrupt termination by a Canadian up- 
 setting one of his opponents who was attempting a catch. 
 This unhappy misadventure kept the contending parties 
 asunder till 1858, when the U. S. won at Harlem by 44 runs. 
 The return match at Toronto (in wliich the wi-iter played for 
 the first time), was won by Canada with 10 wickets to sj^are. 
 In 1856 Canada was beaten at Hoboken by 9 wickets. Next 
 year, at Toronto, Canada was again victorious, having 7 
 wickets to spare : the magnificent bowling of Mr. Bradbury 
 and the fine batting of Mr. H. Phillipps (brother of the Eev. 
 T. D.), then a mere boy, contributing much to this result. 
 In 1858 Canada was again defeated at Hoboken, this time by 
 5 wickets. One of the points of this match was a six-hit to 
 leg, made by Mr. Heward with one hand. The bowling of 
 Hardinge and Head in the 2nd innings was remarkably fine ; 
 five wickets being lost in making the 36 runs. The match 
 of 1859 at Toronto was played in the presence of 2,000 
 spectators ; and would certainly have been won by Canada 
 but for the magnanimity (we have to thank a generous writer 
 in the U. S. for the term) of the Canadian Captain, Mr. T. D. 
 Phillipps, in allowing Wilby to resume his innings, after 
 being run out through his (Wilby's) own mistake. Thus far 
 the record is pretty even. It must be noticed, however, that 
 up to this pomt the Canadians had played against Enf/lishmen, 
 resident in the U. S. The Halifax Tournament of 1874 
 inaugurated a new state of things ; for here the representa- 
 tives of the States were exclusively natives of America ; 
 indeed we believe that they were, without exception, born in 
 Philadelphia. We have no intention of dwelling on the 
 disastrous defeat at Halifax, beyondremarking that the Cana- 
 
100 
 
 tliau team deserve some cretlit for their cncleavom*, at much 
 jiersonal inconvenience and expense, to sustain the honour of 
 Canada, of whoso cricket they were conscious they were not 
 fair exponents. If inchned to excaso ourselves for the gravity 
 of the defeat, it would not bo difficult to find pleas for a 
 merciful consideration. It will, however, bo conceded that the 
 unexpected change of programme, whereby Canada i)layed 
 the first day instead of the third, ere the majority of the team 
 had become reconciled to terra lirma, after being at sea, 
 operated very much to our disadvantge. v rr. ; rr- 
 
 The Canadians having received an invitation, through their 
 Captain, to send a representative XII to Philadeli)hia in Sep- 
 tember, 1875, the Rev. T. D. Phillipps issued a circular in 
 May last to all known Canadian Cricket Clubs, suggesting a 
 conference of leading cricketers to select a truly representative 
 team, and asking the Clubs to subscribe a fund of $300 to 
 pay the expenses. On the 2ml of July, the Montreal Club 
 played Toronto in Ottawa ; and at the close of the match a 
 meetmg was held on the ground, attended by over 50 cricket- 
 ers, representing, in a manner, Quebec, Eastern and Western 
 Ontario. The difficulties of either selecting a Committee, or 
 of working through such a Committee if appointed, having 
 been fully discussed, a resolution was unanimously passed 
 entrusting the selection of a Canadian XII to the Rev. T. D. 
 Phillipps : who, however, hesitated to enter upon the dis- 
 charge of the grave responsibility, until satisfied that the 
 resolution met with the approbation of all the leading clubs. 
 On the 26th of August he issued a ch-cular notifying the 
 Clubs that he had selected the following team : j.^, ^,-;-| ,.,,,

 Tlio following pi"incii)lcs of selection wore aillierocl to : 
 1st. — To have each Province reproeontotl. '2ntl. — To have 
 plenty of change bowling, without sacrifice of the batting. 
 8rd. — To have men who were steady in their fielding and other 
 habits. 4th. — To avoid giving cause for joalouny by taking 
 more than 2 from one place. Messrs. Hope and Bristow 
 being deterred, almost at the last moment, from going, their 
 l)laces were taken by Messrs. Ebcrts of Chatham, and Laing 
 of Whitby. Mr. (1. Powell having intimated his intention 
 of witnessing the Tournament, advantage was taken of this 
 to save expense by asking him to stand Umpire. In the same 
 way Mr. C. 8. Scott kindly consented to score. Mv. Phillipps 
 bought the tickets for the party in Toronto on Sept. 11 th, and 
 saw them off — less the maritime contingent — at 3-30, p.m., 
 the same day ; being given to understand by the agent who 
 sold them (both tickets and party) that the team would reach 
 Philadelphia early next day. Instead of this, tliey were de- 
 layed at a way station in Pennsylvania for 18 hours ; not 
 reaching Philadelphia till nearly noon of Monday, the 13th, the 
 day of their first match. Fatigued with travelling since mid- 
 night, the Canadians were totally unfit for i^lay ; and to pave 
 the way for a simple solution of the difticulty, Captain AVallaco 
 kindly offered to go on with the England vs. America match, 
 and thus afford the Canadians an opportunity for needed rest. 
 AVe should be slow to charge any cricketer with a desire to 
 over-reach an opponent ; every precept of the game inculcates 
 the lesson of fair play ; but certainly the fact that the 
 Philadelphians insisted on adhering to the order of the pro- 
 gi'amme, placed the Canadian XII at a great disadvantage ; 
 and must be conceded to mitigate somewhat the mortification 
 of then* subsequent defeat. We must express regret that our 
 having given way to the Philadelphia Committee in their 
 selection of a date for the match which was inconvenient to us, 
 and in all other prelimmary matters of discussion, did not 
 ensure more generous consideration for the visitors ; who had 
 travelled a great distance, and been chosen from widely diver- 
 gent localities, at an incalculable expenditure of time and cor- 
 
108 
 
 rcspoiKloncc ; and "wlioso lato appoaranco, inoroovor, on tlio 
 scene of action, was not attributable to any fault of tlinir 
 own. Tiie ten of the team were joined in Pliiladolpliia by 
 Mr. Kearney. Colonel Morris, who pfot as far as Ottawa, 
 •'failed to connect," and Mi\ Powell filled the vacancy.

 111 the 2iicl match, which commenced on the afternoon of 
 th'j 15th, the Canadian team heing now fairly rested, settled 
 down to steady work, and ought to have won against the 
 Officers team. Some fine scores were made, hut the English 
 XII were rcmarkahly strong in hatting ; and it is no disgrace 
 for men who came from all parts of Canada, with no practice 
 together, and wdio, moreover, have for the most part learnt 
 their cricket without instruction, to he heaten hy those who 
 were trained in the gr^at "Puhlic Schools of England, under 
 professionals as reliahle in their sphere of teaching as the 
 intellectual masters are famous all the world ov^^r. Before 
 dismissing the Canadians we may sum up their achievements 
 very hriefly. From Chatham to Halifax the distance is close 
 on 1,500 miles ; so widely separated are the memhers of the 
 
110 
 
 Into toaiK. It is ccrtaiiil}' creditable to tlic country that men 
 can be found ready, witli comparatively little pecuniary 
 nssistance from the Clubs, to travel ho far to HUHtain the 
 credit of Canada. That they did sustain it is evidenced by 
 the admission of all, friend and foe alike, that the (\tnadiaii 
 liddinij U((H far the best of the Tournament. Considering our 
 previous l)ad reputation, this h a victory, by the side of whicli 
 all other defeats may bo cheerfully condoned. Again, onjy 
 two prize bats were given for scores of 50 ; and of them, 
 Ml', Whelan, probably tho strongest all-round player in 
 Canada, obtained one. The following score will give further 
 ])articulars :

 ■; r : PENINSULAR CRICKET CLUB. ..'Si 
 
 President, J. W. Waterman ; Vice-President, R. B. Ridg- 
 ley ; Secretary, C. B. Calvert ; Treasure!', H. H. Swincoe. 
 This Club, since its organization at Detroit, Miohigan, in 
 1858, has always maintained a jDrominent i)Osition, and is 
 to-day v/itliout doubt the leading club of the North-West. 
 In fact, it has to seek Canada principally as its battle-ground 
 to find foemen worthy of its steel ; and although it has suf- 
 fered many defeats at the hands of its Canadian brethren, 
 may nevertheless lay claim to a fair amount of success to 
 offset such defeats. The past season has been one of unpre- 
 cedented success, for although the matches played were not 
 numerous, they were of a good character, and it is something 
 to the credit of the Club to be able to say they scored a vic- 
 tory in every encounter. Among the number may be men- 
 tioned " Home and Home " with the Chatham Club, ** To- 
 ronto at Toronto," " London at London," the only matches 
 played in Canada ; and two or three matches played on their 
 own side of the border. During the past few years there 
 have been many stubborn fights between the Chatham Club 
 and the Peninsulars, usually ending one and one for the sea- 
 son. Living only some forty miles apart, they are enabled 
 to come together oftener ; in fact, they are near enough to 
 call one another neighbors in this country of ** magnificent " 
 distances. The long distances between Clubs militate very 
 much against the enjoyment of matches in this country, and 
 and as a consequence against the popularity of the game. 
 The Peninsular Club, like nearly all similar institutions, has 
 had its " ups and downs," struggling hard to keep up its 
 membership, and even to-day its active members are not 
 
117 
 
 numerous. Never since its formation, liowevcr, Las it lapsed 
 as an organization, playing more or le»t3 every season, owing 
 much of its life undoubtedly to foiu* prominent members, 
 whom we are pleased to nrtlne as an honor to the Club, viz., 
 Joshua Waterman, Esq., Judge Hand, Tliomas Calvert, Esq., 
 and H. H. Swinscoe, Esq. These gentlemen may be often 
 seen taking part in the practice and in club matches, and are 
 quite capable of showing some of tlie young wis how to do it. 
 The Club has much to thank them for, for in addition to then* 
 countenances, they assist it with a very liberal pecuniary 
 support. Wo venture to say the Club was never in a more 
 prosperous condition than now, nor ever capable of showing 
 better cricket. With all due respect to its other officers, we 
 must not omit to name the hard-working secretary, Mr. C. B. 
 Calvert, who is worthy of every consideration for his untiring 
 energy to keep the ball rolling. He has proved himself 
 essentially the right man in the right place, and performs 
 well what is usually a thankless task. He is deserving of all 
 p^'aise. The members are looking forward with pleasure to 
 the ** Centennial " season, and strong hoj)es are entertained 
 of paying Philadelphia (the home of American cricket and the 
 champions) a visit. Should they do so (and nothing would 
 give them greater pleasure) they hope to acquit themselves 
 with credit. They are not vain enough to say or think they 
 could cope successfully with the Champions, but believe they 
 might make the match interesting for tlieu* opponents. 
 
 Below will be found a list of the promising players with 
 notes on the principal p>oints of each individual's play. 
 
 U. Armstrong— An excellent bowler of long experience ; round-ann, with variable 
 speed, from rather fast medium to slow ; has been one of the mainstays of the Club 
 in its bowling department for many years past ; is a very good bat, rarely failing 
 to score something, and a good field ; in fact a very useful man. 
 Chas. Hampshire— One of the oldest members of the Peninsulars, and until incapa- 
 citated m the fall of 73 by unfortunately breaking his leg, was the most reliable 
 ".', bowler the Club has ever had, fast round ; plenty of head work and endurance; a 
 good and safe bat. wf^h capital defence. We Ira^i the coming season he will again 
 be able to take his old position. 
 George Ileigho—A. very excellent batsman and run getter ; never essays the slogging 
 ystem, but is remarkably clever at low safe drives, when he makes up his mind 
 11 is a proper one to let out at ; he is strongly pre-disjiosed toward the 
 " and his on play of that d«scription is very cleverly done, occasionally, how- 
 
118 
 
 ever, produfinjf a fluke ; rarely attonijas a real hit to ley. Ho |»ro<luce8 much 
 criticism fro.n his method of yolng in front of hiti wicket and playing' his ballH, 
 which he does to a very great extent, occasionaly sacrificing hia wicket by failing 
 to stop the ball with his bat; but oftener perhaps laying himself oi)en to the unjust 
 decision of an incompetent umpire. He cuts well both forward and back. Taken 
 all in a'l, however, we must place him as one of the best bat^ of the ;eleven. In 
 occasionally put on as change bowler, with slow round-arm, the balls having a high 
 
 J)itch ; is a medium field. 
 . liainford -Usually stands ixiint, which position he fills very acceptably ; is 
 really a very good batsman, although the "fickle goddess" seems to have entirely 
 deserted him during the past summer. He has a fair defence, and hits strongly to 
 different parts of the flelcl, but quite often receives his dismissal from fluke "hits 
 j)itching short when trying to make the skyward drives, and thereby getting caught; 
 IS a fair bowler, and good all-round player. 
 
 Cha«. B. Caiwcrt— Exec's as a batsman, having a pretty style and good defence ; plaj'S 
 a ])lumb bat, in fact his ]>endulum play is one of his strong points ; is not a heavy 
 or brilliant hitter, but nearly always good for some runs, and runs always secured 
 in good cricket style. His place in the field is usually long ofif or on and generally 
 acquits himself with credit in those positions. 
 
 Frank C. Iroine—A young player of great promise (the young American) ; a brilliant 
 hitter, but lacking in patience and power of defence ; albeit much improved in these 
 respects during the past season ; also came out as a bowler last season, gaining 
 great credit for his i)erformance ; round-arm, very fast, in fact extra fast ; some- 
 what unsteady, however, and if he only succeeds in overcoming this defect and 
 will learn to use his head more, he will undoubtedly prove a clipper ; he is a most 
 excellent long stop, and at home in any part of the field, especially does he shine at 
 the outposts, being a sure catch, and in this particular department has no equal in 
 the Club. 
 
 R. B. Ridgley— An enthusiastic and true lover of the game, and although by no means 
 aspiring to be the leading batsman of the Peninsulars last season, gained the 
 highest average. Very patient, and cuts well to the off. In the field of Hate has 
 usually stood short leg or cover point. 
 
 George Edgar— Hm really encellent cricket in him, but is impetuous and too much 
 given to slogging to catch the applause of the outsiders, and often succeeds^ but it 
 much oftener proves his downfall. Has a wonderful knack at tinier of getting the 
 ball away a very long distance, and for bi/ hitting no man in the team can come 
 near him excepting Mr. Irvine bef<»re spoken of, between whom there is great 
 rivalry in this respect, very unfortunately as we think for both of them. He (Edgar) 
 hits to leg with far more precision than any other man in the eleven. He is an ex- 
 ' cellent field either in the slips or at the outposts ; in the latter positions we have 
 seen him make some magnificent catches. A useful man, but would be much 
 more so if not for his inordinate vanity and disrespect of that discipline and dignity 
 on the field due from eveiy true cricketer. 
 
 Willmm White— The ground bowler during the past season, and all things considered 
 a valuable ore. The players improved much from his bowling. He has a high 
 deliverj', pace varying from what might be termed fast to slow, with a good work 
 to the balls, and uses his head to advantage ; has a short run and easy delivery, 
 consequently able to bowl all day without fatigue if necessary. As a batsman, he 
 must not be despised ; his style is not of the handsomest, but is very good at 
 making low safe drives, putting much steam into such hits, and in fact his batting 
 generally is strong and vigorous. He is the only left-handed bat in the eleven, 
 and is a very useful man. 
 
 William Millman— An excellent bat, possessing a remarkably quick eye and good 
 defence ; his judgment is good and to be relied up n, knowing the game thoroughly 
 in all its bearings, and is a very serviceable man. 
 
 a. G. Ilabbin—lilight be styled a very staunch batsman, standing well to his wicket, 
 and with good defence. A good man to send in first, being very cool and delibe- 
 rate, not brilliant, caring not to throw away a chance, but cuts and bats well gene- 
 rally. 
 
119 
 
 A{fre(lC. linwman— A htt.tgnyu.n with very nice sty'ej remarkab'y j?oo;l at cuttrig, 
 which he docs in giwd cricltct fnHhion, and tliii H hi.< stron.? p'ay, exocliin>{ firo- 
 bably any other man in this resitect. His misfi)rtuiio liowcver Is liis extreme ner- 
 vousness upon first going to the wioltet ; he would howevor no iloubl o*. urcomo this 
 to a great extent with sutticient match practice. Ho is a fair <lo!d. 
 
 C. D. Waiervian—\)\i\ not arrive liomo from Europe until nearly the close of the season, 
 having been abroad more then a year, onsO'iuently out of iiraetleo, but with somo 
 now wrinkles perhaps "yot to iwdevolojiei" ga'ned from witiio^sinif the play of the 
 first-c'ass talent during his sojourn in Merrie England. Ho hasaatroii/i-redilectioTi 
 for the oar, with which lie gained very considerable credit wlii'c at Ya'e, in fact he 
 was considered one of the best men in the University Crow. Wo Iidjjo lie will give 
 the bat and ball fully as much attention as the oar; should lie do so wo cx|)€ct 
 hereafter to chronicle a good account of his doings. 
 
 Peter Young —}l\xc)\ out of practice for the past few years, but ncvorthe'ess is capable 
 of showing some good cricket ; is usually retained as first substitute, if bis imsiness 
 engagements will allow of his playing. He is a good careful batsman and fair field, 
 exceedingly good at picking uj) daisy cutters. 
 
 F. Laible—A young and dangerous fast bowler, with a peculiar delivery ; a fair field 
 and careful bat ; good fielder. 
 
 Thoman SIorphy—A member ot many years' standing. A good all-rouni cricketer ; 
 is a true lover of the game and much respected by all tlio membera. 
 
 Tho9. Davis— His first season with the Club, so caiuiot speak so fully a^ wc might other- 
 wise do. It is evident, however, that he has ^'ood cricket in him ; as a batsmtui he 
 has good defence, playing a straight bat, and if not a heavy bitter shows very con- 
 siderable power, more than the average ; has not yet bowled in matches, but in 
 iiractice has shown considerable aptitude, as a medium round-arm, 
 
 JE. F. Littlejohn—A remarkably good bowler of considciablo speed ; is a fair bat, but 
 has not succeeded very well in matches so far as a run-getter, but neverthe'ess 
 shows good batting ]K)ints ; in the field is not brilliant, n t so much, however, from 
 his inability to pcrfonn as from a lack of interest which he exhibits in that depart- 
 ment ; his Dowhng, however, is sufficient to class him as a good man. 
 
 J. W. Galliinore— Can bowl fairly well, and as a bat has very good defence, but lacks 
 freedom ; likely to stay at the wickets a long time, but very slow run-getter ; if he 
 would on'y let himself out more at the balls which ought to be punished ho would 
 be a much more eflfective i)layer. 
 
 John Dodds—A useful member of the Club, but has not yet played in the first eleven. 
 He has, however, shown some very go-d batting and fair ficldiny. 
 
 CRICKET— HOW THE PENINSULARS ARE GETTING READY 
 
 FOR BUSINESS. 
 
 The Peninsulars, anxious to retain the high reputation 
 they gained last year, having played six matches, all of which 
 they won, have rented a large hall on Monroe Avenue, adjoin- 
 ing the Calisthenium Club-rooms, for the purpose of practicing 
 howling and batting. Here nearly every night the cricketers 
 are hard at work. The main object is to improve the ''colts," 
 and particularly then* junior bowler, F. C. Irvine, who only 
 came out as a bowler in 1875. He was the cricket meteor 
 of the year, and wiU make one of the fastest and most 
 destructive bowlers in America. He is, in cricket terms, 
 
120 
 
 "a clipper." Owing to the regular practice of last season 
 the batting averages of the players was unusually good, as 
 the appended record shows. It is more than probable that 
 the Peninsulars will meet the champions, the Young Americas, 
 this season. The following is the individual score :

 account of the leading members ; we forbear attempting it, 
 lest we should unintentionally do any injustice by omission. 
 Suffice it to say that the name of Newhall is one honourably 
 known all over the Continent as synonymous with purely 
 American Cricket.

 Delaware Co. ; Vice-Pres., Harry Sayres, 130 Walnut St., 
 Philadelphia ; Secy., Edward S. Sayres, Jr., 217 So. Third 
 St., Philadelphia ; Treas., Wm. W. Montgomery, 230 So. 
 Third St., Philadelphia ; Ground Committee, Rowland Evans, 
 George Ashbridge, Jas. P. Townsend, Richard H. Reilly, 
 J. S. Wain ; Trustees of the Sinking Fund, Maskell Ewing, 
 R. Francis Wood. All commimications concerning Matches, 
 
128 
 
 slioulcl be nddressed to the Secretary of tlio Ground Com- 
 mittee, Jas. P. Towiiscnd, 709 Walnut St. No. of members, 
 120 ; of whom 15 arc life members, and 5 junior members. 
 
 Tlie season opened on Saturday, April 29tli, by a Club 
 Mate!) — First Eleven t'.v. Twenty-two. 
 
 The Ground Committee have secured the services of a 
 professional bowler for the ensuing season, who will reside in 
 the Club House and have charge of the Grounds. The 
 Grounds will be open for practicvo every afternoon after the 
 opening match. 
 
 The Grounds may bo used for Croquet, Archery, &c., on 
 application to the Committee. 
 
 This organization was started in a small way in 18G5, by 
 a number of young gentlemen residing in the old Welsh 
 Townships of Haverford, Merion and Radnor, a short distance 
 west of Philadelphia. Its first match game was played in 
 April, 186G, when it defeated the Eleven of Haverford College, 
 which is one of the few institutions in the United States 
 where cricket has always flourished. For the first few years 
 of its existence the Merion contended with only the junior 
 elevens of the leadmg city Clubs, but in 1871 it began to 
 compete with thek first elevens. Since then it has met them 
 every season, as well as the St. George of New York, with 
 varied success, and it is now re-organized as a first-class 
 Club. It originally played on private grounds at Wynne 
 Wood, but in 1874, having become incorporated, it purchased 
 a field of five acres, near Ardmore, on the Penn. Railroad, 
 which has been put in proper order for a cricket ground, and 
 on which a Club House, &c., have been erected. This was 
 opened in 1875. The Club is now in the most flourishing 
 condition ; the membership numbers upwards of one hun- 
 dred, of whom over fifty participated in match games during 
 the season of 1875. This is probably the largest number of 
 active members possessed by any Club in the United States. 
 Its discipline is strict ; none of its members are allowed to 
 play against any of its elevens in a match ; and any member 
 failing to pay two years' dues, is dropt from the rolls. It has 
 
124 
 
 no iiulobtodncss, except upon certain bonds all held by mom- 
 bcr^rof tho Club, reprcacnting a portion of the purchase money 
 of the ground. 
 
 We regret having no returns from the fourth of the great 
 Philadelphia Clubs. It was promised, but may have miscar- 
 ried on the way. Wo would simply express tho hope that tlie 
 day may soon dawn when cricket will be played in Canada 
 with tho spirit that seems to characterize everything done in 
 this groat American centre.

 NOTE. — The Committee of tho Marylebone Club think it desiraVdo 
 that previously to the commencement of a match, one of each side 
 should be declared the manager of it ; and that the new laws with re- 
 spect to substitutes may be carried out in a spirit of fairness and mutual 
 concession, it is their wish that such substitutes be allowed ia all 
 reasonable cases, and that the Umpire should enquire if it is done with 
 the consent of the manager of the opposite side. 
 
 Complaints having been made that it is the practice of some players 
 when at the wicket to make holes in the ground for a footing, tho Com- 
 mittee are of opinion that the Umpires should be empowered to pre- 
 vent it.
