THE INTERNATIoNAL nRIcKEr MArnu

We published yesterday in our telegraphic COL
umns brief statement of the result of the first
days contest between the GAN England Eleven"
and the Omitted States Twenty-Five" We give
this morning some of the incidents of the play The
Tribune of yesterday says: -.-s'E
At II .35, the English players having won the
toss, and decided that the Twenty-Five should 90
to, took their respective positions ON the field
Messrs. Lang and Waller taking their stands at
the wicket against the bowling of Parr-slow under
hand-and Jackson-very swift roupd-arm' Lang
opened the play by cut for single off PARIS
third ball. and followed il up with hit to leo off
Jaekson's first; two more singles followed, one
giving chance to jackson, which was not taken,
when Lang lost his partner, Waller, from being run
out by Parr, the ball being finely felded by
Grundy-irst wicket for 4. Sharp was next but
he had not been in ten minutes, scoring a single
when, IN playing forward to short pitched ball
from jackson, he was stumped in Lockyers best
STYLE This was truly fine piece of wicket keep
ing, and ELECTED loud applause. 1t was soon seen
that the Twenty-Five had "a hard road to travel'
to obtain runs, and they began to evince degree
of timidity we little dreamed of seeing from such
old players as the majority are.
Hammond played well for his six, a fine leg hit
TOR being conspicuous. He took Langs place,
who let Parr get in on his stumps, his score being
only an average one, and all singles, well obtained
however, by good, close running. He also was
missed by Caesar at long field. Gibbes went out the
first over. jackson gave him the ball, touching
his pad, the fourth wicket falling for s. Scarlet
showed some good play for half an hour, scoring s.
cut for being prominent. He placed his leg in
the way of a straight ball from Parr, Marsh doing
the same for Jackson. Wildly and Senior followed
them, but they only added each to the score be-
fore they had to retire. Senior was driven back
his wicket by one of PARIS best and Wildly gave
the same mastery bowler chance at his off stump
Harry Wright gave Leckyer opportunity of
showing the crowd what fine catch at wicket was
and Higham went out for singular score jackson
getting in on his stumps ....'
Head, Morgan, Crossley, Comery, Barclay and
Halls, did not trouble the scorers with any runs
Newhall being the only one to make any show at
all after Senior. Bage got fuke for 8 to the on
field off Parr and Walker a couple of singles
Sammy Wright just lifted his foot off his ground
for moment, but that was all that such wicket
keeper as Lockyer required, and Sammy retired for
a single.
The last wicket fell for the tremendous score of
3S, made by what was generally understood to be
the strongest twenty-five in the country
1t was mediocre display of batting, even when
we take into consideration the admirable display
of bowling, fielding, and generalship opposed to
them.
After an hours intermssion for dinner the Eleven
sent in their representatives to the wickets. Car
penter and Hayward going into the bowling of S.
Wright and Crossley. For an hour and half did
these fine batsmen defy all attempts to break up
their admirable defense of their stumps and it was
not long before they had almost doubled the score of
their opponents. At last, after running the score
up to co. Carpenter gave chance to Senior at short
leg, and retired amid the applause of the assem-
blage for the splendid of 26, four threes-eg
hits-being prominent portion of it. Wisden sue
ceeded him, but he had only scored g. and had given
fine chance to Liywhite at square-leg for CATCH
when he out by Hayward, from attempting
to get third run from fine hit to leg, the loose
fielding tempting Hayward to run incautousy.
The great batsman Parr succeeded him, and had
already given evidence of his great ability, when
the time arrived for drawing of stumps, the tele-
graph showing total score of 49, 80 of which Hay
ward is credited for, IA being byes and wides. If
the Eleven do net beat their opponents easily in one
innings, we shall be most agreeably surprised but
at present the chances of their doing so are very
favorable.
The St. Louis Democrat, of Friday last, gives
the following account of the sentence of Thornton
for the cold blooded murder of Mr. Charless in that
city, some months ago: ' '.5
''Wnen the prisoner arose, and was asked if he
had anything to say why he should not suffer the
penalty of his crime, he simply answered nothing,
In firm voice, and proceeded with the utmost
calmness to refresh himself with drink of ice
ter. His Honor then sentenced him to be hung on
Friday, the 18th day of next November, in the per-
Torrance of which duty he deeply moved. The
general officers of the court and many spectators,
were also affected to tears but the prisoner was
imperturkable throughout"

foreman of the machine shop, with the oil, which

ure, and nearly in a tragedy. After having walk

the river, the rope began to sway, and De Lave,
perceiving he was about to fall, threw his pole and
caught by his arms. The man upon his back
caught around his body, and drew himself up on
the rope. This almost fatal accident has ended the
acrobatic exhibitions at Rochester, the Mayor hay
ing revoked his license, permitting De Lave to
exhibit himself by walking over the Genesee on a
rope.
