A Cricket Game.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 26.-Nearly
10000 persons went to the grounds Of
the Germantown club yesterday to see
Lord Hawks team of English cricketers
play with eleven selected from the best
Philadelphia players. The Englishmen
went first to bat and made very brilliant
showing, in fact much better than was ex-
pected. as it was thought they would show
the effects of their recent sea voyage. They
completed their first inning at 80 o'clock
with total of $50 runs. In the half hour
left to the Philadelphias they made invent :
nine runs without the boss Of wicket. In
the short half hour that the visitors were
in the field their brilliant fielding won
almost continuous applause. The Phila-
delphias were not up to the mark. Several
noteworthy individual plays were made,
but the general team work was net what the
spectators anticipated
Play was resumed at ITO this morning.
The crowds In attendance at the opening
morning were much larger than when
the Englishmen began their inning yester-
day. Fully 5000 peopls wsse grouped
around tho aeld. Tho sun shines hot sad

The Allerton.Nelson Race.

An agreement has been entered into be-
tween c. w. Williams and d. ]. Leathers
to match Allerton and Nelson, for purse
of $4,000, the winner to take all, and the
race to occur at Grand Rapids. This race
will be productive of more interest to
horsemen than any race that has occurred
for some years on the trotting turf. The
title of liking of the Turf is claimed by
each for his horse, and the contest at Grand
Rapids will settle the question of SUI
premacy. There is only q shade of differ
ence in the records of the two wonders, AL
lerton having a half second the better of
Nelson in this respect. Each has come
down half second or so in his record when
ever the call was made to do so, and no one
but the owners know what is the capacity
of their stations. Both are level-headed,
and the result of the race will depend more
upon the condition of the horses than upon
anything else. Whichever is tittest on the
day of the great race, this one it is safe to
predict will land the purse of $4,000 and
append the title of liking of the Turf to
his name.

will be added when tho present work is
done"
"How are Iotsl''
There has been some buying but people
have done this on their own accord, the
company has not yet solicited anyor . to buy
its property. While OF course deep water
will primarily benefit Velasco, it will also
benefit al Of Texas, Kansas, Nebraska,
Colorado and all the great Northwest. The
obtaining of deep water at the mouth Of the
Brazos is a repetition of the success at the
mouth Of the Mississippi. E. L. Corthell
OF Chicago, the well-known engineer who
was with Capt. Eads, who built the jetties
at the mouth of the Mississippi, is in
charge of the work.
In conclusion Mr.. Wall said that just so
soon as the proper railroad connections
were made with the great trunk lines We
lasco would jump into prominence and in a
very short time become the largest city in
Texas.

The Purse Winners,

The three trotters which have won the
most money in purses this season are Happy
Bee, Little Albert and Nightingale. 1t is a
singular fact that neither of these were
from dams which were standard by breed
ing. This does not prove that non-standard
mares rs a rule produce faster trotters and
better campaigners than standardized
ones. 1t does show, however, that there is
lots of merit outside of the standard, and
those who sell their best individuals,
though non-standard, are liable to take the
dust of those who buy such and breed them
to the best of trotting stations. The cry,
breed only to standard stock, does not have
the effect that it did when first sprung upon
the public. Breed from your best individ-
uals, should be the motto.
