PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 26.-The cricket game
between Prince Ranjitsnhjis English team
and the Colts OF Philadelphia was interfered
with to day by the elements. 1t rained in tor
rents late last night and early this morning.
and at the hour set for resuming operations
the wicket was so thoroughly soaked that play
upon it was altogether out Of the question. 1t
was agreed to postpone the game until after
luncheon. and even then the wcket was soft
and dead. When the Colts resumed their
inning they played with extreme care. and ex-
hibited wonderful patience while twenty 1--WE
runs were put on in an hour. A. E. Stoddart
and C. Llewellyn. the bowlers. sent down
maiden after maiden.
c. J. Allen and Fl. A. Haines. the over night
not outs. made the best stand Before the
former got his leg in front OF a straight ball
from Lleweyn the total had been Increased to
1872. The next three wickets fell with an ad-
dtion OF only one rum and doubts began to be
freely expressed as to the possibility Of reach
ing the second century. W. H. Sayen however.
played steadily and well. and when at length s.
&. Clmenson got a two hit. which brought up
200. the cheers were loud and long. Two runs
later Cimenson was caught at cover point by
Jessop and Altemus. the Colts captain. yielded
to a big break from Stoddard three runs later.
and the inning was over for total OF 2O5.
Under ordinary circumstances this total
would not be considered very formidable by
the Englishmen, but with the wicket all in

s. c. Climenson and W. p ONeill were en-
trusted with the ball. while A. C. MacLaren and
q. Brann were selected to start the run get
ting. 1t was soon seen that no liberties could
be taken with the bowling and careful play on
the part of both batsmen became the order OF
the day. Macl.aren. however. soon tired OF
these tactics. He hit Cimenson around to lag
for 1, drove O'Neil out of the ground for ..

hitting, when he was caught at mid on from
