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. ,,, ,^^^.,,

an essential feature of
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.

Hoeni to regret it ;
though now the **Ve-
♦"••on" Cana'lijin «'rick-
etor, Mr. llewani ih
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,
(ir), 70 and 80 in first-
class matches. On one
occasion (if not twice)
ho headed the score in
the match between
C'ttiituia una one u nitcd
States. Even as late as
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.

I' .. ■' 1 i •!. .; . '.. 1
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
Cleanse the stuffed Ihmh^ui of tliat {Hiriloua stuff
Which woiifhs upon the heart."
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. -'

TlIK WlCKET-KKEPEIl.
"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

*'Hhoot<rs," which are certain deatli if not taken in time; bo«,dn

j^ractiso dicwiou and uniformity, for nothing is more fatal to
the batsmin than a wavering and irregular habit of play ;
and rellect liow nuiny times you have boon out when you
might have kept in, and made a long score by more steady
play ; play forward at balls within your roach, and play back
ut those which are bliort pitched ; tho former is tho safe
,<;ame, and .^liows more of strength and firmness ; tho latter
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-
titude and decision ; and, having started, don't go back, for

/ .. , TFIE rJAME. . ,
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

BELLEVILLE.
Wc arc very much disappointed at having no returns
from Belleville. Last year does not seem to have heen a
prosperous one for the Club. In past years the B. C. C. has
played ''successfully, even as late as 1874, with the Ottawa
and other strong elevens. Belleville was one of the places
visited by the Hamilton Club during their spirited Eastern
tour ; also by Montreal.

List of Officers. — Patron, John Fennell, Esq.; Presi-
dent, H. F. J. Jackson, Esq.; Vice-President, Alex. Millar, Esq.;
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.

Last year's cricket in Brockville wk^ of a somewhat de-
sultory nature ; and we are very sorry to learn from W. H.
Jones (once the strongest bowler in Canada), that the pros-

be done to remove the reproach ?

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

I
' 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.

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
- *., HALIBURTON. lutxl
The most northerly club in Ontario. Members, about
twenty-four ; ground a good one of eight acres. Our infor-
mation respecting this Club is slight, but cricket is carried on
there in a proper spirit, and ere long greater results must
follow. The one match played is reviewed under Fenelon
Falls. •

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.
In the following may be gleaned all that we know of the New
Halifax and Phoenix clubs, which have sent us no returns.

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.
Capt. Taylor (87th R. I. Fusiliers)— A flne bat, but unlucky ; drives splendidly. A
good paced round-arm bowler ; on his day, very efiFective. A splendid fleld, espe-
cially at l<)ng leg and long off. Throws in beautifully.
Lieut. Singleton ^87th R. I. Fusiliers)— When in form, a good round-ann bowler, me-
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.
Lt. Savile (R.N., H.M.S. Bellerophon)—A good bat and flrst-class fleld ; wants practice.
Mr. St. L. Herbert (Governor General's Staff )— Batting and flelding fair ; a medium-
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,
especially to long off. A slow round-arm bowler, with often a great deal of break;
a first-class fleld.
Lieut. P. Tallent8, (20th Regt., Bermuda)— A very hard hitter ; wants more defence ;
a fast round-arm bowler, but very uncertain ; too slow in the field.

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.

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.

groimd, beautifully situated, overlooking Lakes Simcoe and
Couchiching, of which pretty glimpses are had from the Grand
Stand. Mr. F. W. Armstrong we know as a fine cricketer ;
as a wicket-keeper he stands A 1. ; he also Captained the
Philadelphia XII last year, and batted successfully. Mr.
Scadding, the energetic Secretary, we have known for many
years. Having, moreover, spent a couple of days most
agreeably in Orillia on the occasion of the Port Hope and
Toronto match last August, we are m hopes of renewing
tlie visit on the 11th and 12th of the same month this year.

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,

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.

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.

chance to wui hack her lost laurels. As it was, deprived of

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

undoubtedly of the highest order ; and Toronto cricketers
hailed with pleasure the ro-appearance of Jno. Wright, who
bowled 165 balls for 04 runs and wickets. Boyd also dis-
tinguished himself in both departments.

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
the first mnings headed the home Club, who were weak in
fielding, by 89 runs, the chief scorers being Blois, 18 (not
out) ; Atkinson, 15 ; Barnard, 15 ; Pearson, 12 ; W. Hm-rell,

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

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,

well, W. P. Pickering scored 21 and 4 ; J. Whelan, 2 and
19 (run out each time) ; Forlong, 11 (not out) and ; Green-

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-

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

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

This Club was organized on ^fay 2nd, 1852, and at tho
time of tho first issue of tlio "Guide"' iji 1858 held a position
among tho best in Canada, having at that time won six out
of ten matches with tho Toronto Club, whilo in 1857 threo
Trinity men wore selected to play against tho United States.
Since then cricket has been kept up with varied fortune on
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.

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

An attempt was luado a fow years a^'o to establish a

Btances barred tlio way to siiccosd ; notably the n iseniblo

school feeling. Last year, however, the enlightened liberality
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 :

LEADztra 0LU£S OF t::s t7nzted states.
■; 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 :

,' Ah C. a. Newliall, the best bowler of the Club, was absent
in Europe throughout the entire season — arriving home four
(lays before the Tournament — it was not deemed well to have
the bowling analysis published. The Club played 8 matches,
having only one innings in each.

MERION CRICKET CLUB.
This Club was organized in 18G5, incorporated in 1874.
The officers for 1876 are : Pres., J. Hunter Ewing, Radnor,
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.

" Over," but not until tho ball shall bo iinally settled in tho Wicket-
keeper's or Bowler's hand ; the ball shall then be considered dead ;
novertheless, if an idea be cntcrtaine<l that either of the Strikers is
out, a question may be put prdviously to, but not after the delivery of
the next ball.
XLV. — The Umpire must take esiKscial earn to call "No Ball" in-
stantly upon delivery; "Wide Ball" as soc.i as it shall pass tho
Striker.
XLVI. — The players who go in second shall follow thoir ir.ningg,
if they have obtained eighty runs less than their antagonists, except iu
all matches limited to onlv one day's play, when the number shall be
limited to sixtv instead of eighty.
XLVIL — when one of tho Strikers shall have been put out, tho use
of tho bat shall not bo allowed to any person until tno next Striker
shall come in.
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.
