In favor Of Canadians. !. ....;.;. 81
The game closed at halfpast SIX, the Innings OF
the Canadians about half-past three.
The play Yesterday on both SIDE was superb; The
st. Georges fielding was excellent, 1t could hardly
be surpassed. The batting of Dudson and Wild par
ticulary elected great praise. Tinson was the
toughest of customers at the wicket. The bowling
of Wright and Groom was admirable The former
especially with his left-handed balls bothered his
man much.
The Canadians batting was beautiful, but their
fielding although of high order, as whole was
hardly equal to the st, Georges The batting of
Lieutenant Hornby was splendid twice he made
six runs and several times three. The ong fielding
of Connolly deserves much praise; n not only
had the eye Of the eagle but the loot OF the deer.
| Hornby's long fielding was also excellent. The
bowling of Sharpe and Wnckworth, we are told
by the best Judges, is not to be surpassed in
America. On Sharpe's balls particularly no cal

assumed another The balls in his hand were
like the boomerang in the New Holander's, and
had they not been stopped, we should not have
been surprised to them return and lie down at

| Nothing could exceed the urbanity and good
spirit of the gentlemen. from New York. qualities
| which were warmly reciprocated by the Canadians.
1t is true the st. Georges have lost the present
game but argument as to their inferioriy to the
Canadians Is in any way to be drawn from that
Bad luck had much to do with it, bad play nothing.
A return match we hear will be played at New York
| soon after the Montreal races
! The Canada players were Messrs Birch, Wilgress,
Harrington, Connolly, Shipway. Lddell, Of Mon
Hamilton; Captain Pocklington, 52nd regiment

Lieutenant Hornby, Royal Engineers, Quebec.
