BASE BALL AND CRICKET.
Progress Of the Field Sports
in England.
A Good Game Between the Athletics and the
Red Stockings.
The Americans Victorious in the Inter-
national Cricket Match.

LONDON, August a. 1874
In the game OF base ball yesterday afternoon,
at Lords Cricket Ground, between the Red stock
ngs and Athletics, the Bostonians reached the
first base nine times 10y errors OF their opponents
and the Athletics once.
The game lasted two hours and ten minutes.
THE AMERICAN PLAYERS AS FIELDsMEN.
The bowling OF the Americans in the game OF
cricket was weak. The newspapers consider that
the playing by the Americans OF base ball and
cricket alternately gives the Marylebone Club un.
due advantage, as so much exerti0n must fatigue
their opponents.
PRESS OPINION OF THE PLAY.
The journals publish long details OF the game OF
base bail, giving full explanations. The beautiful
catching OF the Americans is particularly referred
TO.
THE GAME OF CRICKET AGAIN ADJOURNED
The game OF cricket at Lords was resumed this
morning. The English eleven finished their in
nings for total OF lO5 runs.
The Americans then went to the bat and made
7o runs for ten wickers. The game will be finished
tomorrow, the Americans having eleven more
wickefs to fall.
THE BASE BALL GAME POSTPONED
The base ball game was not played this after
noon In consequence OF unfavorable weather, and
lor the same reason the attendance OF spectators
was small.

THE SENTIMENT IN WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, August T. 1874.
There Is a dearth OF politicians IN Washington at
this season of the year, lamentably SO among the
democrats and liberal republicans; yet there are
enough TO keep alive the absorbing topic OF third
term Tor Grant. The statement printed In the
HERALD OF to-day from LONG Branch TO the effect
that Grant was anxious to be tho Presidential can
date Of the opposition party In 1876 was meagrely
an tlcpated mere by the press, but enough came to
whet the appetite of the inquistlve politicians for
more, so the HERALD was In great demand this
evening.
THE PRESIDENTS EXPRESSED SENTIMENTS.
To those familiar with the Presidents views
during the last session OF Congress-, his reported
utterances at Long Branch concerning the welfare
of the South are reIterations OF sentiments ex-
pressed at different times during last winter aud
spring. Perhaps none was more significant or
emphatic than the remarks made to several Louis
lana ana Mississippi congressman, when he said,
81 begin to think It Is time for the republican
party to unload.n At other times he declared that
the South had borne the burden OF oppression
long enough, and henceforth his policy would be
to appoint native Southern men to federal orices,
and should do oil In his power TO see the wrongs
OF the South righted. SO frequent were his utter.
ances OF good will toward Tho South that repubh-
can Congressman began to wonder what
1t meant. The shrewder ones devined Il TO
mean aspiration Tor third term, and by that rule
an 0, the Presidents subsequent utterances we're
interpreted. In fact the purpose was go plain 10
prominent democratic Congressman that IN tho
hearing OF your correspondent the remark was
frequently made, ave Will take Grant our can
