OF the other counties. In regard to the democratic
nominee nothing appears to point directly to this
county as Ikely to secure the rather uncertain
prize: Among those mentioned here for the place
are Messrs Blair Lee, VIM. Neirs Bcuic, IT,, and
u. Maurice Talbot, the latter being supposed to
nave majority Of the delegation from the county.
Notwthstanding the declaration OF the recent state

terfere with perfect harmony between
Them

OF the Haverford College Cricket Club,
VINO went abroad several months ago, re-
turned yesterday on the steamship Bel
genland from Liverpool
The team Won four and lost four Of the
fifteen games played. while the remain
ing seven were drawn, some-as in the
case of Shrewsbury, Harleybury and Rug
by-in their favor, and others-as in the
case of Elton. Clifton and Winchester-in
favor of their opponents The reason WHY
there were SO many drawn games was that
one day did not suffice to see the con-
clusfon Of the several matches
The English daily papers do not usually
give much space to public school cricket
but have made an exception of Haverford,
ana now that the tour is over are sounding
us praises and expressing the hope that
II may be favored with further visits from
American cricket clubs
The four teams which Haverford con-
trlVed to beat were those of the NJ c. c.
Repton, Charterhouse and Cambridge Long
vacation team. Two of these were single
innings victories, while the Charterhouse
game was decided on the first innings be-
ing one-day match. Haverford was
pea ny Gheltenham, birmingham, Har-
row and Malvern. Cheltenham won by six
Wlckets, tppingham by over 100 runs and
several wickets, Harrow by an inning and
some 200 runs, TO say nothing of some
seven wiokets in hand, and Malvern by
about forty runs. The highest score COM
piled by the Haverford team was 373
against N. c. c., while they could only
get 33 against Harrow. The largest score
made against them was All for two wick
cts, by Clifton, E. H. Steinthal making PIG
not out MIR. Lester, with commendable
candor, says that the tour showed that
the Haverford team was not reliable as a
batting side, while it contained only three
powiers capable of getting wickets. Their
or that of their opponents, but at others
fell far below it. In all three departments
OF the game Haverford has learned much
by the tour which her eleven has made"
