seen In New York. and Mr.. Darlington remarked.
"The people seem to like cricket here" when he
found ave hundred people on the grounds when
they arrived. The grand stand filled up very fast.

the grounds.
The Irish won the toss and went in first. They
fell surprisingly fast and not batting in good
form. The bowling OF Messrs. d. Newhall and G.
Newhall was excellent and. with the exception of
couple Of mistakes behind the wicket and rather
careless overthrow. there was fault to find with
the folding. Sir George Colthurst made - the top
score. and Mr.. Hamilton. the fast bowler OF the
team. rolled up 10 in very neat style. The inning
resulted in total of SO. rather low figure for the
Irish and they were little aslonished themselves

wonderfully in their batting Philadelphia will un-
soubtedly secure an easy victory.
