CLUES This contest came off yesterday on the
cricket ground Of the St. George club 1t was
played throughout in the most scientific manner
The New Workers opened the game with their best
players and terminated their first innings with
score OF So Alter which, the Toronto Club went
to work very confident OF winning, and after beau
tfu display ofbstting terminated their first innings
with a score OF 77--leading the st. George Club
IL.
The game will be resumed this morning at o.
clock, when ii will be decided. Bets are in favor
of the Toronto Club to 1, as they have some of the
best cricketers in their company that can be pro-
duced on this continent. The wholesale and I'M
limited challenge from the New Workers to the
eleven beat players in the States or Canadas, has
brought together, among ther opponents, the most
sSiliui and scientific batters this side of the At
lant,c.
The cool and bracing air, the beautiful grounds,
the presence of many ladies, the excitement and
novelty Of the game, are great Inducements to visit
the place Of performance, and we advise all who
would spend few hours pleasantly, TO go and wit
ness the decision of this game. all the parties en-
gagged are gentlemen who devote their attention to
this inyigordting and healthy game for amusement
and exercise. The match now in the course of set
tement was made up nearly two years since, and Is
friendly contest for sectional superiority. The St
George Club sometime since visited Toronto, and
beat their antagonists their own ground with the
greatest ease, and the Toronto club will, Judging
from the present state OF the game, pay them off in
their own coin. The most perfect good feeling pre-
walls between the combatants, and the victory will
doubtless be celebrated by magnificent supper
We shall give u aud detailed report of the result
The SPEAKEBsHIP or THE NEW HORSE OF REPRE-
ssNTATIvEs The Hon. Dixon II. Lewis of Alaba-
ma is spoken of as the next Speaker OF the House
OF Representatives. and he is well qualified for that
distinguished position, and may possibly be elected
by the cid OF southern wing members, who, being
unable TO have Speaker of their own, may prefer
Mr.. Lewis, on account of his southern principles,
10 a northern man. Mr. Lewis is a man of great
ability, aud devoted friend TO Mr.. Calhoun. He
will, hswever, doubtless find formidable oppo.
Dent in Mr.. w. Jones of Virginia, who has al
ready been the candidate OF his party, though de-
feated one. Mr.. Jones stands very high with those
who know him, both for his personal, moral, and
Intellectual qualifications, and he would do honor
10 the choice of the House. Mr. Jones is Van
Bnrenite aud viii have the support of that portion
Of the House in all probability. The appointment
Of this officer is a of the first Importance as
Inc prospect points 10 cnolce oil PRESIDENT of the
United States by the House Of Represen atives.
