The Associated Cricket Clubs # Philadel-
phia, which arranged some time ago to
bring over a team of Cambridge University.
Past and Present, have received notifca-
ton from the other side that the eleven
have been selected, and that all the men
have given their promise to undertake the
trip. The team, however, has undergone
many changes from that originally an
rounced, and 1t has been found advisable
to include in it four men from the sister
university. Oxford, who will add consider
able strength and make it altogether a
more representative team of English crick-
eters.
The strength of the eleven this team will
BE able to place in the field may be judged
from the fact that nine Of the men took
part in the recent interuniversity game
Oxford against Cambridge, which is one Of
the big events Of the cricket year in Eng
land.
The team is booked TO leave Southampton
on August "a, and should arrive on the
following Saturday. They are scheduled
to play their opening game against ALL
New York, under the auspices of the Met
ropolitan District Cricket League, on the
at Livingston. on Labor day. September 2
and the two following days. They do not
play their first Philadelphia match until
September 13, II and Is, when they are to
meet the team of the Associated Clubs at
Wissahickon, the home of the Philadelphia
Cricket Club.
No plans have as yet been made known
for the interval between September 4, their
last day In New York, and September 13,
their first date In Philadelphia, but 1t is
understood that they will be given games
In Boston and Baltimore.
The new local cricket club should take
advantage Of the opportunity and invite
the Englishmen to this city.

How They Regard the Defender-ViGi-
liant Contests.
LONDON. August 3.-The Field says this
morning: 1.-The Vigilant ana Defender
tests have raised hopes here to conceEt
pitch that Valkyrie III has a good chance
to win the cup. The statements of Vigi-
lant's improved form are mere guesswork,
and most people here think that the Rhode
Island designer has made mistake in
adopting the old-fashioned British idea,
long ago discarded, that under all condi-
tions a low-placed keel will do duty for
breadth in the matter Of sail-carrying
powers.
The beating which Defel.der gave Vigt-
liant on Wednesday will not efface the ef-
feet of Tuesdays trial. 1t seems that De-
tenders designers have made retrograde
movement, and a skipper and crew up to
the best English form ought to win the cup
in the same precise manner in which
Britannia wins cups and trophies of all
kinds here.
Every arrangement has been made to tow
Valkyrie II that Is needed to insure her
on sailing the series of trials before our
races occur. Lord Dunraven, Mr.. Watson,
the designer, and Mr.. Ratsey, the sail
maker, will sail for the United States in the
middle of August.
The shortening of the Munster course on
Monday (when Britannia was awarded a
race over Niagara by only IA seconds on
time allowance) has led to the general ad-
mission that fifty miles Is too long, and an
advocacy Of shorter courses SO as to avoid
similar disputes.

Copyrighted by the Associated Press)
LONDON, August, ga representative Of
the Associated Press has made inquiries
into the sensational reports circulated in
the United Statesiin spite of the fact that
their accuracy has been repeatedly de-
MED by persons In authority here to the
effect that the Lendon Athletic Club was
hesitating about sending over"a team to
meet the New York1Athletic Club team.
The result is that the Associated Press
Is once more authorized to deny these re-
ports, which are nothing more than the
invention of sensatioh-mongers. 1t is true
that there has been ssome little difficulty
rega1d ding the formation of the London
Athletic Clubs team, but there has never
been any question faIsed which would

agreement to meet the Americans. The
only difference Of opinion was one which
prevailed respecting the men to be select

The home members objected to men such
as the Irish athletes being included, con-
tending that all the members of the Lon

men, and Of the same social status. A
meeting OF the committee Of the London
Athletic Club was then held and there was
a lively discussion, during which 1t was

New York, such as Tom O'Connor lew

The upshot of the meeting was that it
was decided to include in the London Ath-

ALLEGED MAIL FRAUDS.
Sensational ChnrEes Against Sup
Samuel Flint.


Samuel Flint.
The San Francisco Chronicle published
yesterday an article in regard to the al
legged frauds In the railway mail service
on the Pacific coast. which, it says, prom
ise to lead to one of the most far-reach-
Jig federal investigations ever held there
1t is alleged that the mails were fraudu-
lently stuffed. by the advice of Superin-
tendent Samuel Flint Of the eighth di-
vision. during June, 1894, in order that the
weights carried during that month, which
formed the basis for estimating compensa-
tion to be paid the railroads for the next
four years. might appear unduly
large. Railway postal clerks of long ex-
perience say there are great opportuni-
ties for stuffing cars in such a way as to
rob the government of millions each year.
4 Second Assistant Postmaster General
Nelson denied positively that Superintend-
ent Flint was concerned in any frauds.
'On the contrary" he said, 'it was d.
rectly due to Mr.. Flint that an extensive
fraud was discovered last June, at the
that Flint was in coliusion with the rail-
reads for the purpose Of defrauding the
government"
In that month the mails on the Pacific
coast were weighed in order to obtain
basis for payments for carrying them
during the following four years. A small
circumstance on small route attracted
Superintendent Flints attention, and he
followed it up skillfully and finally brought
about the readjustment of a much larger
route saving the government a large
amount CT money. 1t Is, no doubt, some
confused information in regard to this
that caused Culver to make the charge
that he has against Flint. While no Of
f1cial action has been taken, it is thought
by the officials in the Post Office Depart
ment that Culver is almost certain to lose
his head within day or two. The method
of the fraud attempted last year was to
divert mail matter from other routes to
the one that was being weighed.

An aggregation of ball players who some
how or other won the penant last season

creditable exhibition of how not to play

AN ELEPHANTS CRIMES.

Terrorixes q Village.

From the Madras Standard.
During a recent religious festival at Al
vartirunagari, on the banks of the Tam
bramini, terrible tragedy was enacted
by an elephant. Like most large temples,
this has Its periodical festivals, one of
which has just been celebrated. Certain
elephants were brought down from Nun
CUR eri and Tinnevelly for the festivities
of the occasion. All went smoothly till,
unfortunately, the large elephant of Nun
gureri. being in rut, ran amuck.
The mahout unwittingly took up a little
child (son of the Temple Darmakartha)
and placed it in front of him on the neck
of the elephant. Alarmed at the state of
the elephant, the mahout endeavored quiet
ly to pass the child out of danger by hand
irg it to somebody behind. He was not
quick enough to elude the sagacity of the
elephant, which snatched up the child put
1t into its mouth and began munching 1t.
The nahout. Mortified at the sight. jumped
which he succeeded in doing, but not be-
fore the child was well nigh dead. Indeed,
1t only breathed for a few minutes after
ward, and then expired.
Enraged beyond all bounds, the animal
became furious and in its mad rage seized
the mahout, dashed him to the ground
and then trampled out any little breath
that might have still remained in his body.

full misdeed. the elephant gathered up what

ceeded to his the mahout's) house. and,
depositing his mournful burden at his door,
passed on. The people generally, in great
dread, closed their doors and windows
The elephant wildly rushed along the
streets and came to the temple, the door
of which. too, had been closed. It there
upon battered the door, and, passing into
the inclosure, furiously attacked the little
elephant Of Tinnevelly, which it pierced
with it's tusks and soon killed. Emerging
thence, the animal rushed madly along
to the river close by, where it began throw
ing mud and sand all over itself. In the
meantime the police constables had got
their muskets loaded, and, climbing out
of danger, took potshots at the furious
animal, which they eventually succeeded in
disabling and ultimately killing.

A MIsHAP TO THE DEFENDER.
But for 1t She Would Have Badly
Beaten the Vigilant.

The Vtg1lant won the Goelet cup for
sloops off Newport yesterday afternoon,
because the Defender was forced to with
draw from the race within falf dozen
miles Of the finish on account Of a broken
gaff. But for this accident the Vigilant
would probably have been nine minutes or
more behind the Defender.
The Defender outpointed and outfooted
the Vigilant in the beat to wfndward which
was the first leg of the course. and gained
more on her during the second leg, run

one-haf miles of the entire thirty-eight to
cover, her hollow gam snapped in two and
she was compelled to give up.
The Jubilee and Volunteer, which also
started yesterday, were never in the hunt
with the Defender and Vigllant, although
the Jubilee did make better time than the
Vieilant on the eighteen miles run before
