Conclusion Of the Match between New York.

ners-nmts on Training Comparison Of Two
Days. Playing and Scores.
The return annual match between the first elcv.
ems OF the st. George and New York Cricket Clubs,
was concluded yesterday on the grounds OF the lat
ter club, at Hudson City, N. j.
There was marked difference between the play
ing of yesterday that OF the previous day. In
stead OF improving by the first days practice, they
appeared, both SIDES to have lost confidence, as
the score below will plainly Indicate neither OF the
clubs scoring anything like the results OF the pre-
yious day.
Byron Of the New Workers. who on the first even.
inc stood on the list for thirty runs was the ist
10 reach the wicket yesterday, and seemed, as far
as outward appearances could Indicate, to be III eX-
cellent trim for the game, and 1t was confidently
expected he would realize as many runs on his first
innings as Hatfield had done on the previous day
for The other club but lie received the first throw
from ButterHed close TO tile shoulder OF his bat
and let the ball pass on to the wicket which Of
course threw him out from taking any further part
IN the first innings Eastwood who was the next
10 follow was "run out" after securing only
five runs: Smith also caught out without
getting run at all Nor was the starting OF the
second innings Of the st. Georges any more favor
able than the others Morley, who led the game,
was neatly bowed out after getting three runs;
Carpenter made none; Hatfield, VINO the previous
day scored the highest, made none; Mumiord made
none, and Ratllfe only one The second innings OF
the New Workers was still less satisfactory. Roger
son got ten, Hayward none, Eastwood none, Greig
none, Higginson none, while Smith made but one
run. The name of the other members are given III
the score
latiOn as the exact cause which led to SO great
difference between the OF the hrst ana second
days still 1t be confessed that II they had eacn
received anything like suiciency OF practice such
an unfair comparison could not have occurred, and
the apparently good show OF condition aud success
OF the first day must have been matter OF chance
aud appearance only. or course there might be the
possibility OF payer scoring less, much less, one
dtay than another where tue inciemency Of the
weather OF any other unforeseen obstacles pre-
sented themselves rs nindrances but In these Two
| days no such obstacles have arisen. the weather
having been remarkably cool and favorable through
out, and the oly possible hypothesis that remains
therefore, is that the practice 0l the memberS mas
not been sufficiently wen cared for. The bowling
was, perhaps, a. little too hcrce on the side OF
Morley and Carpenter, rs also on the part
Of Kogerson ana Eastwood; but the principal
deficiency lay between the strokes OF the batsmen.
Again. while on the matter Of criticism II may not
lie ont of place TO mention here that The game OF
| cricket would become Il much more popular sport,
and much more convenient also II the players d'd
! striking, 1c. and thus prolong the games TO such
| an indefinite and tedious length lite attention
IL, these apparent tribes would certainly insure
greater amount OF interest in the game and induce
many TO take part LII 1t VINO now abstain because OF
II ,he cubs OF the New Yor. and ST. George wish
TO keep the lead of all other cricketers here, and
one viii deny that they have the men Capable OF
doing it is actually necessary that much better and
more regular system OF practice should be adopted,
and so prevent on future occasions the unpleasant
comparison revealed by Yesterdays scoring.
