ANALYSIS OF THE BOWLING.
Fifteen Merton Club-Fiyst Issaing,

There is u difficulty between tho Gentlemen of Ire
land and the Young America Club that will probably
result in their match being declared off, communi-
cation was received yesterday by Captain Hone from
Captain Newhall in which the latter stated that un-
less the Irish consented to change their umpire and
nominate some gentleman in his place they could
not play the match. Captain Hone replied that
hylott was professional of great experience and
excellent reputation and that they had brought him
out to umpire for them and, consequently, could
not entertain tho idea of making any change The
very fact Of their making a change would be dam
aging to Rylotts reputation and entirely unfair, as
they had no reason to find fault with him. No
further communication has been received from the
Young Americans. so in all probability the match
will be OF.
