BY the above score it may be seen that only ten
men OF the st Georges, eleven went in and the
Avs OF the game, which were strictly enforced
ny the Canadians, prevented any other person TAX
ing the bat in the place OF the absentee, although
hey had previously allowed other persons to take
The field on behalf Of parties who were absent ;
by some uDaccountable means or another, one o
their best players were Hbsent-did not make his
appearance until about 20 minutes after the game
was over, when he said he thought there would
hive been no play in consequence OF the unfavora-
ole state OF the weather. This certainly made
great difference in the score OF the st. Georges
club, but had Mr.. Wheatcroft been present, under
40 circumstances was it likely that he could have
Uttered the result; he might or caused 10 have got
some IA or Is more, which would have still lei,
The losers some or 10 deficient. Some ugk ru.
mors we're ahost to account for this eentleman's
lbsence at such critical time, but of course with
hcse we have nothing TO do The defeat Of tn,
81 Georges club under these circumstances, takes
bu; tile from their aurels, and so far were the,
conf Dent Of their srowess, that Immediately afteT
the game, they offered 10 play the Canadians with
he same eleven, to commence on the f0llowine
day, for from 500 to 1900 dollars, but this was de
cllned.


THIS throughout has been one Of the most spirit
ID games of Cricket ever played in this country o.
ia the Canadas, and great interest has been exctet
IN consequence. Ii is generally thought that
ess than $50, 900 was depending on the game Tn,
attendance on the ground was, in the afternoon
nearly as great as that the first day--with the
exception of the lades-there were near four thou
sand persons present.
