PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 2l.-Lord Hawkes.
team OF English cricketers started their second
American match here to-day with n thoroughly
representative team Of the Gentlemen Of Phila-
delphia, and so far ms the game has gone a most
Interesting contest is promised. The ground
was soft and soRgy, and the recent heavy rains
spoiled the wicket, which has been worked for
the past two months especially for the match.
II cut up very badly, and was altogether against
good batting. but IL favored the bowlers TO a
consid degree. On this account the run
getting was dificult and tall scoring completely
out Of the question, The Englishmen were
totally at sea, and only three of them troubled
the bowlers.
Lord Hawke bore of the chief honors In bat
ting, but he played a very LUCKY inning Of scventy-
eight, being missed three times. L.. G. n. Bath
urst and A.. J. l.. Hill were the othor men who
did the run getting, the latter giving q great ex-
hibition Of patiAnce. lie took one hour and a
half To score twenty-five runs. The fielding,
with n few brilliant exceptions, was not up to
the Philadelphia standard, and there were at
least four catches dropped which would have
made a considerable difference In the score.
Neither side can now claim any advantage, and
unless the home batting takes q tumble to-mor-
row the game should have q close finish.
When Lord Hawke won the toss and decided
% bat there was not much disappointment ex-
pressed by the Philadelphians on account of the
poor wicket. A.. J. l.. Hill and G. +. De Traf-
ford were deputed to start the run getting,
while J. Il. King and H.. r.. Baily were intrusted
with the attack. The game had n most in
suspicious opening for the Englishmen, for
when De Trsfford had set the spectators TO
thinking that he was going to do some big hit
ting he was clean bowled by King, and the first
wicket was down for Ave runs. Two balls later
c. w. Wright fell q victim TO the same bowler,
and two wickets were down without further
addition to the total. 8. Il. Lucas gave promise
of making runs, and he hit King to both off and
on boundaries. A good ball from Baily, how
ever. was too much for him. and the third
wicket fell for fourteen runs.
Lord Hawke came to the rescue in gallant
style. He was quickly In double figures, but
after scoring q dozen he lifted one from Baily
TO long on. where Patterson should have held
the chance. He misjudged the hit, however.
and the miss, as IL afterward turned out, proved
To he a most expensive error. Lord Hawke and
Bill soon opened their shoulders, and while the
bowling was frequently changed the runs kept
piling up and eighty was soon put up on the
board. Not until the partnership had produced
seventy-one runs was q separation effected.
Hill was the man to 60, after q most painstaking
anning Of twenty-five.
With four wickets down for eighty five. @. J.
Mordaunt Joined Lord Hawke. and the latter
had soon q half century to his credit. He scored
rapidly, and made nineteen Of the twenty-five
runs put on for the next wicket. Mordaunt,
however, did not give much trouble, and when
he was dismissed for six there were Ave wickets
down for ITO. This was q remarkably good
showing for the home team. and as the interval
was then taken for luncheon, the Philadelphians
deceived the congratulations of their friends for
miss Of Lord Hawke by patterson, there was no

soon afterward put up another ball OF ABaily's
to Muir at extra mid off, and this time the catch
was held, notwithstanding his three lives.
The inning of Lord Hawke was an exhibition
nf good, free hitting. and was most useful to his
ride. With the exception of Bathurst, none OF
the remaining men gave much trouble, and the
inning closed for 1877 runs. Bathurst contributed
a well-played thirty-four. Baily bowled in great
style, and secured seven wickets at a cost of
eiNty-seven runs.
Little time was lost by the EnglIshmen In
taking the ield: 3. y. Brown and G. ). Patter;
Hillyard shared the attack. The first three
wlckets fell with startling rapidly, Brown
being bowled by Hillyard Tor five runs, while
bowled by Bathurst without scoring. A. NJ.
Wood aud +. II. Bohlen then got together, and
by good cricket they succeeded in staying at the
wlckets until ,stuInps were drawn; notwtth;
standing the fact that the EnRlishmen tried
five bowlers. Wood hit his wicket very palpa-
bly, when he had scored six. but the umpire, not
seeing IL, gave him the benefit Of the doubt.
Play will be- resumed tomorrow morning at
IL O'Clock. The score:
LORD AwKE's TEAM.
