NEW XOBK. 0& Thiankaglving day, Thorsday, Aug. 6th, the firat elsvess of the'ilMna dubs phtyed their first game togelherthls season, on the grounds of &e New York olub, the result being a vlctory.for theWlllowdDb bya soore of .M to iS, these bekg the total s«OKs:ot- th«.flra^innings, the game being dedded thereby, aa there was not time to play it out T)ie weathetwas omresslvely hot and the ground was oonse- nuently In a lively oondiUon. Even after the heavy shower that Uyk place at noon time had paased over, the ground ]iraa still snUlciently dry and haril'-to give the ball a good rise. On this account It required the utmost skill on the part of the batsmen to save their baijs from being taken off, and great cars to pre- vent giving chances for'oatohes, few shooters coming in from dther side, greatly to the rtlltf and advantage of the free hitters, who don't admire ahootlog ballt,jas a general thing. The at- tendance of apectators was not very^rsat due publicity not hav- ing been given of the playing of saobaflrst olaas match; we wore pleased to noUce; however, that the' Udlee' tent was well filled, • . . Both dubs bed good devens on handioaoh having at least nine on each Bide of the bcst players they could present two of the New Yorkers, who are tealfed-^deleven players, bdng fully up to the mark of 1st eleven men; the Iwo deVens, wa may therefore say^ were aa, evenly matched as they could well be, club ag'alnet duo, and we fully eioected to see a good display of cricket and were not only not disippolnled, but on the contrary, for the first time for several seasons, we were gratified by witnessing the beat gome of cricket we have seen since the great All Eng- land Eleven paid us a visit the fielding' In this match being im> questlonablv tho beat over seen in this country, excepting that soown by the Ungltsh eleven in 18B9- But before we comment further on the subject we will proved to give a detailed report of the match. At 11 :ie the Wlllowe sent in Bdnbrldgo and Tor- rance to the bowling of Dallllere and Sadler; and play bolog called, the game at once opened qntte lively, four runs bdng ob- tstned in eaoh.of the first oven of the above bnwlen. In tho next over, however, a change took-place, Balnbrldge boing wdl oaught by BalUlere at slip item Hlgham's hands otT Sadler, and Hardinge—hie successor—being forced back on his wicket, by Sadler the first ball he recdved, Balnbrldgo's wicket having fallen for 11, his score being 6, in which were two good hits—a out and leg hit—for 3 each,' Hammond followed Hardldge, and he played bis first ball in a manner that gsvepromlseof a 'goodsoore, butltwas not long iief^re. ho, too, was forced to retire, from a splendid catch of nigbsm's at -wicket off Sadlert Hamm6nd'e wlcket-the 8d—fall- ing for IS, he drawing a blank for his score. This was getting rid of good men In abort order, snd the Now Yorkers began to think that they were going (o have quite an easy thing of ^t and of course became propornonatdy exultant Poarce now came to -the rescue, facing Torrance; who in tho meantime had been defending hla etnmps admirably from some pretty severe attacks, Oalllltie being well on the wlcketfl'pretly muoh all the time. .For nearly half anhonrPearee and Tor- rance repulsed all assaults on thdr stumps, and before thoy were parted aght runs bad been added to the score, Torrance finally giving a chance to Hudson at leg, the boll being wdl taken. Torrance's score wss 7, In which were two twos, a leg hit and drive, his wicket—the 1th—falling for 28.

W- By this time, an hour's hard work In trawling beneath such a scOrchidg sun had rather taken the "vim" out of the two bowl- ers, but neverthdese they were atlll well on' the'wioketa both of them, and both were bowling very effeotlvdy, 'When Strachan Joined Pearce, it was expected 'that the fprmar-wonld make a daahlng hit or two and then lose his stumpd, that being the gen- eral result In the cases of a majority of those who go in for nree hitting, regardless of def^nalve operations; but in this in- stsoce things turned out differently. Htraohan thought—and rightly, too—tfaat.when the ground is at all lively, it Is Just as safe to hit the ball with a straight bat—especially if dead on the stumps—as it is to block it by forward play, and praotlcalljacar. rylng his idess into effect he met eveiy straight boll with Just as straight a bat and sent the fleldere leatberhunting In a style that Immedlatdy ohooged the aapect of the game, the first reanlt being to bring on a change of bowling. Marsh going on stBall- Uere^s end. During tho ten mlnntes that Strachan had Pearce for a partner, tho score was increased b^ a dozen runs; Pearce had been In nearly an hour, and hod batted admirably for his score of U, made up of a leg hit and drive for 3 each, two twos— a pretty slip and leg hit—and singles, when he gave a chance'to Tyler at slip off Marsh, the boll being very well taken. Pearce's wlckot was the 6lh, the score boing 37, Sprague, the noted base ball player, waa the next man, and being a fine, free hitter, he and Strachan were well mated to meet bowling' on a lively ground. It-wosnowthtt the score began rapidly to Increase, and the game to become exceedingly lively and intareatlng. Drive after drive followed almoat In euccesslon, leg hits being occasionally Introduced by way of variety, Strachan apparonlly tbalng in unusually One trim for play, the bdl assximlng'de- ddedly large proportions to his eyes. Judging from the sure manner in which he hit It nearly every time. In one over from Sadler, every ball but one wsa sent fiylng for twos, threes, .and a fallI^ no less than 11 runs being ohsrged to Sadler'a over. Even Marsh's strdght and dangerous ones were hit away In'a Btyle that would ha,va led a apectator to think that the batemon ware punishing ^asy underhand bowling. Flndly, when the score had been run up to 61, Spragus's career waa put an end to by another of those fine catches of HIgham's at wicket off Ball- here, the catch eliciting the heartiest applause from a number of base ball placers who were present, they weU knonlng the dlffl- tulty of' taking these "fly dps," aa they cdl them, that come sharp and swiftly from tha bat Bprpi^e's score waa 11, mado up of a fine drive for throe, afid two leg hits for 3 eaoh, with singles. Swift another hard hitter, took Sprsgne's place, but be had not been in long before the etorm that had been brewing buret over tha heads of spectators and players, obliging an im- mediate adjournment to a place of shdter. The players seeing that there wonld be no prospect of play for an hour at least at once ordered dinner to be prepared, and while the small lakes on the ground that the heavy rain storm had suddenly oreated wore In process of evaporation, both par- ties aat down to a grand game of knife and fork, the "stout par- tiee" of the two elevens showing off their ability for stowage of })rovlsionslnamanner that surprised and aggravated hungry ookers on. The game was interrupted by the rain at 13:80, uid it waa not iintll.2:86 that it was rcaumed, It which time Swift md Btraoban took thdr places .at the bat, end their opponents theirs In the now'drled up field. Play after dinner is never what it waa before, and this occasion waa no exception to the rule Strachan went on batting pretty much as he had done before, with the exception that he gave a ohance or two which he had not done previoudy, Byron having a bdl sent right Into his hands at square leg, when Strachan had scored 27, and Sharp bavins a ritght ohance near diort leg. None others were gHen; however, the bon.sent towards Suydam being entirely ouf of reaoh The score bad:t>een run up to 83, when 8a<tler oaught Strachan off his own bowling, Strachu retiring amidst deserved applauae. for the handaome acors of 88, wdl obtained agdn'st first class bowlina on the'part of .
