200 to 10, then to 1 was laid, and 100 to 3 offered. For
the Tradesman's-Cup, 5 to 2 was freely taken about Ivan-
hoe, and an offer was made to take 5 to 1 against Wynn-

THE ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN AGAINST THE

UNITED ALL ENGLAND ELEVEN.

At Lord's Ground yesterday the interest that was excited
on the previous day was, perhaps, more manifested, there
being nearly 6,000 spectators pres,nt. The game was re-
sumed at about 12 o'clock, the All England Eleven con-
tinuing their innings (three wickets being down) by sends
ing in H. H. (Surrey) Stephenson to join Daft. From fiv
obtained on the previous evening Daft made his figures up
to 36, gained in his usual scientific manner ; among them
were three fours, four threes, &C. H. H. Stephenson con-
tinued to bat most successfully, and Bennett was called en
to bowl, so also Iddison; but still he made runs, and car-
ried out his bat with 70, gained by really good play against
good bowling; among his hits were a five, five fours, two
threes, and eight twos. Anderson's score of 11 comprised
a four, a three, and a two. In Jackson's 19 runs were a
five, a four, and three threes. Atkinson, being called upon
a second time t bowl, was most successful in taking the
last three wickets. The total of the innings was 203,being
77 majority. The United fielded well together. The
wickets fell in the following manner::—One for 19, two for
22, three for 40, four for 97, five for 105, six for 133, seven
for 148, eight for 165, nine for 177, ten for 203. A quarter of
an hour having elapsed, the United Eleven entered upon
their second innings, Mortlock and Bennett commencing
the ba,ting against Willsher and Hayward's bowling.
Mortlock made a hit for four,and was then bowled by Will-
slier. Carpenter followed, and again ably illustrated the
art of hitting; Bennett scored 11, by a four, three twos,
and singles. Iddison added 6, but being then disposed of
by Willsher, Griffith took his place, and he and Carpenter
kept raising the score so much as to cause a change of
bowling, Jackson taking Willsher's end. As no imme-
diate result followed, Tarrant was called on to go at Hay-
ward's end, and he in his second ball succeeded in
lowering Carpenter's stumps for a score of 39, in which were
a five, two fours, and two twos. Caffyn came next, but
in tlae following over Griffith was disposed of
by Jackson, after a fast innings of 25, compri-
sing a five, two threes, and four twoes. Lockyer came
forward, but Tarrant was successful in sending back
Caffyn for a single, and John Li lywhite (who took his
place) for " 0." Wisden then appeared, and shortly after-
wards Tarrant again proved fortunate by stopeing Lockyer's
career, after a lively innings of 21, comprising four/ours
and two twos. It being now 7 o'clock the stumps were
drawn for the day, the state of the score being as under Na.

CRYSTAL PALACE COMPANY

The fourteenth ordinary general meeting of the directors
and shareholders in this company was held this day at the
London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving, the directors'
report, and re-election of the retiring officers.
Mr. Farquhar, chairman of the board, presided.
The report, which has already appeared in The Sun,
having been taken as read,
The CHAIRMAN rose to move its adoption. He said the
directors had thought it would be unwise to attempt to get
up a counter attraction to the Industrial Exhibition, the
expense of which had, he thought, been wisely laid out in
putting their own building into the most thorough repair,
intending to rely on the attraction it presented. The great
number of foreigners expected to visit this country in the
autumn would, he had no doubt, visit the Crystal Palace at
Sydenham. Yesterday, notwithstanding the attraction at
Kensington, the number of visitors was greater than those
of the corresponding day of last year. The Handel Festival,
it was confidently expected, would result in a great success,
and at the end of the financial year the directors confidently ex-
pected they would be able to declare a good andincreased divi-
dend. Before he formally moved the adoption of the report,
he would allude to one portion of it, which was of a very
disagreeable nature, viz., the determination of the directors
to remove one of their body on account of certain allega-
tions made against him. The charges were founded on a
case in which Mr. England was concerned, and which was
reported in the papers in April last. The Times and other
newspapers had called attention to the subject, but the
matter referred solely to the domestic character and per-
sonal conduct of Mr. England, and had nothing whatever
to do with him in his office of director in this or any other
company. If the shareholders did not confirm the decision
of the board, he and the other eight directors who were
associated with him in repudiating Mr. England's conduct
must part company, becau e if such conduct was to.lerate
in a public company it would give a stamp of
to the rumour that anything was god enough for a publicnn

company.
Mr. ANDERSON seconded the motion for the adoption of
the report.
Mr. ENGLAND said there was no connection between his
private affairs and his duties as a director of this compan
had f
y.
Ile had effected great reforms in the company, and
brought about the payment of a dividend. Ile had thus,
Ito had no doubt, made many enemies, who were now seek-
in gto remove him from his seat at the board. If this had
been a genuine expression of opinion on the part of his col-
leagues, he should how to it at once. Ho had got rid of
several superintendents out of the company, and the chair
matt said that it he succeeded in getting rid of Mr. Bewley

aging,' be s truck out, and that the words be substituted,
