 At Hamilton Park yesterday there was played 8 match game of cricket, the players being the Riverside club from New York and the New Haven Cricket club. The visitors arrived in this city on the steamer Elm City early yesterday morning, and after viewing the many attractions of the place made their way to the Hamilton Park cricket grounds
 They were all very sociable gentlemen and soon made themselves at home with their op- ponents. The New Haven team was 8 very weak one, both captain and vice captain being in Europe and three more of the most valuable men being unable to attend They determined to do their best, however, and give their opponents as hard fight as possi- ble. The home team won the spin of the coin and the1r captain very wisely selected to bat first. The play at the commencement was very slow, but it gradually improved as the men warmed to their work. The highest scores made in this inning were: F. Dob son A, Batty and F. Edwards 8, Cook, being not out, 5. The bowling of Sheridan and Foghill for the visitors was very good and scarcely needed a change The

 The second inning of the New Haven club was begun after an interval of fifteen minutes. They began rather badly, as one man out with the score at 4. Dobson and Batty then got together, however, and things began to look brighter for them. Batty scored Il by good play. Dobson was out with the score at 54 with six men out, having scored IS. From that time the visitors seemed to lose heart, and the fielding and bowling were very Eoor Durant made things lively by hitting up 20 in fine style, and F. Edwards scored 10. Priestly was not out with 15 runs to his name. In this inning the visitors tried six of their men as bowlers, but they were unable to pre- | vent the score being raised rapidly. The ! inning finally closed for 103. The visitors commenced thelr second venture in fine style Manley, the captain of the visiting 1 team scoring 39 and Sheridan 10. None of however, and the inning closed for IS. Priestly, Batty and Sheppard were the bow | lers for the home team and each did w" | The visitors took their def < in very gentlemanly manner and everything passed off very agreeably | No one was seriously hurt, although several players received nasty blows with the ball.
