The Great International Fete at Philadelphia
Progress Of the Game-Good Bowling on Both
Sides-The Twenty-Five Out for Few
Runs-Grace Already Disposed Of

BY the half-past eight p. NJ train, which wen. on
its usual mission on Friday night, ten members OF
the gentlemen eleven" rom England took pas
sage for Philadelphia. Arrived at Philadelphia the
Engshmen were welcomed by deputatlon from
the patrons of cricket in the City OF Brothery Love
and escorted in carriages to the Continental Hotel
where they were greeted even at that late hour OF
night by crowd OF sght-seers vino were anxious
TO view the bold BritOns.
The ground for the combat the following morn
ing proved to be in admirable condition. The ut
most anxiety and enthusiasm prevailed. Ladies'
lifted their nmsy wells and exposed their pretty
faces to the gaze OF the admiring throng in order
to more clearly gain view OF the game and its
progress. The bowling on the side of the twenty
two was very good-straght on the wicket and ex-
cessivey awkward to bat. Indeed, had not Messrs
Grace and Ottoway been thorough masters of the
game of cricket their several stumps would have
had but little chance Of retaining their position In
the ground. AS it was Grace disappointed the ex-
pectations Of all behoders by being
BowLED OUT
when he had only scored fourteen runs. Every one
was expecting to see him drive the ball in his
splendid style far out Of the field, but the splendid
bowling and good fielding of the twenty-five an
initiated his purpose. Much jubiaton was dis
played when the swift gliding ball took the wicket
THE LION OF THE DAY.
Taken altogether the first day OF the Inter
national Cricket Tournament was grand snccess,
and during the succeeding days, Monday and Tues
day, there will doubtless be not only better play
but far greater crowd Of spectators. The ground
Is prettily situated-a level plain enid grove Of
outrageous trees, except to the eastward where
the tall chmneys Of a factory rear their towering
heads towards the skies. The following Ii the
general synopsis OF the game -
The twenty-five won the toss, and Captain George
NewhaIl elected that they should accept the first
inning. Brewster and Harry Newha were sent
to the bal, Rose bowling from the lower and
Appleby from the upper end, Mr.. Ottoway acting
made ''brace" of Rose In the first
overs. but the primal ball that Appleby
launched forth demolished Newhall's stump.
W. WEIGH went in next and came out instanter,
az Appleby took his wicket with regular
'.rusher." Robert Newhall supplied the place Of
the last man dismissed with a ''duck's egg" but
| even he was bowled by Appleby in the tenth over.
| John Lang followed Welch and Cadwaller came in
after Newhall and endeavored to 'hx things to
the satisfaction OF his side, but after making two
| he hit his wicket of Roses bowling. Then came
LOper Band and he played II he meant business
but Harris caught him splenddiy at long on =
score. George Newa was h0wled by the first ball he
played, delivered by Appeby who bowled straight
on the wicket, and at a fearful pace Hargeaves
made two and then subsidized to the game omnipoten
descendant OF Jupiter Tormans. w. q. Morgan cut
ball for three In very pretty style, then made q
Knocked his wickets "all to smithereens.' y
Grace then supplemented his victory by
bowling Dan Newhall and Law, neither OF whom
made a run. q. Newhall was rather more for
hit for two before one Of AppIeby's swlits
"keeled over" the wicket he engaged TO de-
fend ). Meade was then caught by 4. Lubbock,
J .on Graces bowling. minus aRythip& ana Pease
