sell. and the Phiiadclphians should be able 10
make n good tight there. In the game againss
the M. {. c.. which comprises all the chief
criCketers of England, the chances of the phiia.
delphians will depend on the eleven their ol-
poncnts. will get together. Kent should proye
the easiest team of the lot, and the Phi!adcl.
phians should certainly be able to score a victory
over the hop county.
The tour is not likely 10 wind UP in a blaze of
glory, for the last match will be against the
Champions, and Surrey should prove a hard nut
for the PhiIadelphians to crack. Richardson,
Surrey noted fast BOWLER, is even more terrific
in his speed than Jones, the Australian who was
seen here last autumn. He is more accurate,
has greater command of the bail, and can nut on
considerably more work than the Antipodcan.
Lohmann will assist Richardson, and the batting
will be attended TO by such consistent scorers as
Abe, Brockwcll, and Holland.
The Americans will be Captained by G.. s. Pat.
tcrson. So much has been written about his
cricketcr here that il NAV be a little refreshing
To read what an English paper has TO say about
him. The following Is from the last number OF
