The Philadelphians, 1t may bc rcmcmbcrCd, won this match by m inning and 6S runs. Tho Australians wcrc handicapped by the fact that they had only landed n few hours bcforc and still carried their sea legs. This they proved by handsomely defeating tho Quakcrs week later and also winning every other match played on this continent. F. II. Bohlcn Is in Eng land this season, and his unavoidable ab- sence has been severely felt by his club mates.
 In New York and vicinity the game has not made such rapid progress. Still, though slow, tho progress has been steady, and since the organization of the Metro politan District Cricket league in 1890 the game has entered upon new era.
 This league is comprised of l2 clubs, all within n radius of 20 miles of New York. It is divided into two sections. Thcre is also a second eleven section. The pr;si- dent of the league for the first two years of Its existence was the famous divine, the Rev. W. $. Rainsford. In 1899 Henry Martcn, tho well known crickctcr, was president. In 1893 David A. Munro ac- cepted the position. which he again holds this year.
 The pcnnant given to the champion club Ut the end of each season has been captur- cd by several of the clubs in turn. Last year the New Jersey Athletic club won it, and the Jerseymen may again capture it this season, as they have very strong team.
 One of the best crickctcrs in the Metro politan district is M. k. Cobb of the N. J. A. c. He is, fin fact, rcgardcd as tho 1 best all round cricketcr in New York. For four successive years he has carried of tho | best batting average in tho lcaguc, and in | three out of four has he obtained the palm for the best hgurcs in the bowlcrs' cnl- | umn. He is an Englishman, having played cricket first in Kent, Is quiet and unostcn- tatious and well liked among his club mates.
 Other well known names among metro politan cricketers arc II. MacNutt, ]. l.. Pool, J. Rose, tho wicket keeper; c. Ellis | tho fastest bowler in the district, and F. F. Kelly, who has till this season played II in Chicago, where he was known ns tho premier bowler of the west. Staten Island is Q stronghold of cricket near New York.
