At the close of the game the longthrowing
contest with a cricket ball took place and was
judged by selected committee. Crane, Will
hanson and Pfeffer were the contestants. Each

yards l0H inches, beating the only authenti-

The departure Of the ball players was unat-
fended by any demonstration. The wharf from
where the steamer sailed is at Port Melbourne,
about four miles from the city, which may pos
eibly account for this. large number of in

Australians among them, rode out to the pier

THE PARTY GROWS LESS.
The party has diminished considerably in
numbers since it first set out from San Fran
cisco. Most of the outsiders preferred to re-
turn home by the Pacific steamers, while others
will remain permanently in the Colonies
Among the latter is Harry Simpson, formerly
player in the Newark, n. J.. Club. He will be
SpAlding's representative in Melbourne, and
will eudeavor to teach the natives how TO play
the American national game. Frank Lincoln,
the humorist, will remain in the Colonies
where he has made big hit. The people who
started on the round trip are A. G. Spalding,

The steamer on which they sailed is the
Salier, of the North German-Iloyd line; some
years ago she piled between Bremen and New
York. She is commanded by Captain c. Thalen-
horst. The German service on the steamer has
stirred up the linguistic ambition of the ball
players, and they have already made heroic
efforts 90 acquire sufficient smattering to place
them on a pleasant footing with thesstewards
and walters, and to stand them in good need
when they reach Berlin and Vienna.
