accident on Tuesday night. Mr.. Jack

family out riding with them
Everything was in readiness, and
the coachman was standing waiting for
he ladies who had come down Oh the
front porch, to enter the coach. All at
once the horses gave a spring, rushing
past the c"achman and along the wind

and coach broken and mixed up in

bruised and hurt, and the coach broker

twenty-Iine runs at the fall Of the fifth
wicket.
The Canadian innings closed for the
small score OF Is runs. The bowling OF
the Americans was very effective and
their fielding was about the best ever
seen on IL cricket ground here. The
smallness OF the Canadian score is part
" due to great merry BUSINESS, which
