AMERICAN CRICKETERs ABROAD.
The HaverfOrd Team Being Treated
With the Grcatest ktndness.

The HaverfOrd Team Being Treated
With the Greatest Kindness.
In spite of the facts that the weather was
showery and that the cricket match be-
tween the Winchester College eleven and
the eleven from Haverford, Pa. was not
advertised. there was a good attendance
yesterday on the grounds Of the college at
Winchester, England, when play COM
menced. The dean of Winchester, DIR.
Fearon. the head master of the college,
many Of the masters and the boys, all in
their college gowns, and liberal sprin-
king Of ladies were present
The wicket was in good order. Winches-
ter first went to the bat, and the home
eleven were put out for 133 runs. This Is
the first time during the present year that
the Winchester eleven have been all out.
The Haverford players were warmly
cheered, on this account as well as because
they were visitors, when the last man of
the college players was retired, and the
crowd also gave the Americans most cor
dial reception when they went to the bat.
In addition any smart work upon the part
OF the Americans was literally applauded,
and as their fielding was admirable, the ap-
plause was almost continuous. The Haver-
lords went to the bat at 5:15 pm.
Capt. Lester of the American eleven says
he is having charming time everywhere.
The Americans are being received with the
greatest Kindness and courtesy, and are
lodged In the houses of the head masters.
He adds that they are having the fairest
treatment possible from the umpires.
The dean of Winchester is to give a gar
den party in honor of the American crick-
eters.
At the close Of play the Americans had
scored 81 for five wickets. Adams scored
S and was not out; Lester made eleven,
and Scattergood scored seven runs and was
not out.

HENLEY, England, July ALI the prep
arations for the garden party rendered by
the Yale crew to their friends, including
the crews entered for the grand challenge
cup. were completed last night, and the
finishing touches were put to the grounds
of the American headquarters. Marsh Mill
House, during the morning.
But the oarsmen were out during the
morning for practice. as the pleasure of
the afternoon was not allowed to interfere
with the business Of the day.
The weather was cloudy, and there was
but little wind blowing. The horse gen.
orally used by Bob Cook to coach the
Yale men from the towpath was report
ed lame, consequently he took the crew
above the bridge and coached them from a
boat on catching the water quickly and
strongly. This work was kept up until
half-past II. when the Americans were
taken to Fawley Lodge, Mr. Cook coaching
them from bicycle. Later. he put them
over the minute barrier at a stroke Of
80 to the minute, but they succeeded only
in going 100 feet beyond 1t in a minute
against News 127 feet yesterday.
The Yale crew then padded back TO the
beat house, and, after few minutes rest,
took out the new paper shell, which will
challenge cup, in order to test 1t in every
way and see If all the riggings, ETC., was
in the best of order.
They padded to Fawley Lodge at q
thirty-to-the-m minute stroke.
The oarsmen pronounced the boat to be
sitter. but the rigging did not meet with
their entire approval. The buttons Of the
American oars were moved an inch further
inboard today.
During the early morning the Yale men
were weighed in their rowing clothes and
the result was as follows:
j. H. Simpson, bow, 154 pounds; A.
Brown. jr., No. 2, 1888 pounds: w. M.
Beard, No. 8, 1s3 pounds: ]. o. Rogers, No.
4. 1s2 pounds; P. H. Bailey; No. $. 1870
pounds: ]. M. Longacre, No. 8. 1874 pounds;
R. B. Treadway. No. Z, 1T pounds: Geo.
Lorgford, stroke, III pounds; Thomas L.
Clarke, coxswain, 115 pounds.
This makes the total weight of the crew
l 1,4O5 pounds. without the coxswain, and
]. $50 pounds with his weight added.
When the Americans left New York on
June the total weight of the crew was
1895 pounds, without the coxswain, and
1 sos pounds with him.
Thus 1t will be seen that the Yale boys
have gained fifteen pounds in weight and
Clarke, the coxswain, has put on five
pounds Of extra flesh.

From the San Francisco City Argus.
The young physician was tired when he
returned from his evenings calls, but as he
settled back in his easy chair, and his pref
ty wife of only month or two took a seat
beside him, he asked affectionately:
And has my little wife been lonely?'
"Oh, no. she said, animatedly; "at lea ast
not very. I've something to busy myself
with
Indeed" he said. What is it?'
"Oh. I'm organizing a class. A lot of
young girls and married women are in it.
and we're exchanging experiences and
teaching each other how to cook"
What do you do with the things you
cook?' he asked, interestedly.
"Oh, we send them to the neighbors just
to show them what we can do. There's one

TURNED THE TABLES.
JOyce's Men Hit Hard and Often and
Defeated Boston.

By refreshing exhibition of batting, in
Guiding an unusual and creditable session
of scientific bunting, together with gilt
edged fielding and aided by several glaring
and opportune errors, Washington yester-
day turned the tables completely and took
ample revenge from Boston for Tuesdays
defeat. 1t was a decidedly interesting
game from the standpoint of the spectator,
for pretty and difficult plays were not lack
ing, and then, 1t must be remembered, every
thing went Washingtonward, not overlook
ing greater portion of the luck.
The star playing was executed by De
Montreville, who participated in two very
takesome double plays, while Selbach re-
deemed himself for those two strike-outs

TO BE A GREAT CONTEST.
The Gentry-Pntchen Race at Chicago
This Afternoon.

Joe Patchen and John R. Gentry will
meet for the first time this afternoon
the famous Washington Park track, at
Chicago. and. judging by their condition
last night great contest may be expected.
Gentry's mile in 2O3& last week at Red
Oak speaks for him. 1t has been common
talk about Washington Park track that
Joe Patchen is not in condition, and so gen
orally was this statement accepted that 1t
has interfered materially with the interest
in the meeting, Gentry being considered a
sure winner. But lack Curry, Patchen's
trainer and driver, last night waved his
hands argri!y in abiding to the talk about
Patchen's condition, and declared 1t eman-
ated from his (Curry's) enemies. IF Gentry
beats my horse tomorrow" said he to an
Associated Press reporter. "hc will have to
go the best race he, ever has gone in his
life"
The Gentry-Patchen race will consist of
two heats out of three, instead of the regu-
latioa three out of five.

BOER MARKSMANSHIP.
They Are Splendid Shots and Do No
Waste Much Ammunition.

'.Wanderer" in st. Paul Field and Stream
Beer victories over highly trained and dis
ciplined British soldiers have doubtless been
source Of surprise to many. Perhaps they
have been given credit for a physical cour-
age beyond that of the average dwellers in
civilization. Yet such is not the case. They
are brave after the manner of all men habit
uated to dangers, but their successes have
been due to their knowledge Of the country,
their expertness in bushwhacking, and,
above all. their wonderful craftsmanship.
Any given number of welt prairie) Beers
picked at random will undoubtedly outshoot
the picked marksmen Of any country If put
to offhand shooting at unknown distances
in the open. Not only are they quick and
tue marksmen, but their marvellous accu-
racy in judging distance on their simmer
ing plains gives them an advantage hardly
calculabe. Their eyes have become trained
by continuous hunting, till they adjust sights
ain ost intuitively and without seeming con-
sideration.
To the tenderfoot on the South African
welt this facility of sighting Is at first as
founding He has tried it himself and over
shot and undershot to his own utter disgust
He may have earned the reputation of a
crack shot on the plains Of India, the high
lands of Scotland or the prairies of Ameri-
ca, only to find himself all at sea at ranges
beyond the fiat trajectory of his Express
rifle.
Just one instance Of this will be sufficient
to demonstrate this fact when it is under
stood to be of everyday occurrence A
party Of us had gone out from Kimberley in
the diamond fields for weeks hunt. We
were all dead shots at mark but De VII
liers. splendid and unusually refined speci-
men of the welt Boer, and Jacob CIoete. an
Afrcander from Cape Colony, were marks
men Of the highest rank in the field One
day we had failed to find game of any kind
till near 5undown, and were likely to go
hungry. for we relied entirely on our rifles.
when away to leeward on a dead level plain
we sighted a small herd of hartbeest. a
species of large antelope, weighing some $50
pounds. To ride to get the wind of them
would put US into darkness, so Jacob and De
Villiers dismounted for long shot with
their short Snider-Enfields

buck kicked a few moments and lay still.
Cloete's ran little and fell over When we
got up both were dead. De Villiers' was
