THE University Team left Boston, Friday, October 27, at 6 P. M., to play All Canada at Montreal. Arriving there at half past ten Saturday morning, they proceeded to St. Lawrence Hall, where they were met by delegates of the Canada Foot-Ball Association, and it was then decided to play that afternoon instead of Monday morning, as was intended. At 2.45 P. M. the rival teams appeared on the Montreal Cricket Grounds, on St. Catherine Street, - the Harvards in their handsome new uniforms, the Canadas in various costumes, representing the different clubs to which they belonged. The teams were made up as follows:-

ALL CANADA.Perram (captain), of Toronto; Geddes and Lampier, of London; Eardley-Wilmot, Jarvis, Robertson, and Lewby, of Ottawa; Taylor, Scriver, and Abbott, of McGill College; Gough and Molsom, of Montreal; Irwin and Blaiklock, of the Britannia Club.

HARVARD.Faucon, '75; Whiting (captain), Seamans, Curtis, Herrick, H. W. Cushing, Keyes, Tower, Rollins, '77; Wetherbee, Lombard, '78; Austin, Houston, L. Cushing, '79; Jordan, '80.

At precisely three o'clock the players were arranged, and the battle began, the Harvards having the kick-off. One of the masterly Canadian drop-kicks immediately sent the ball back again near Harvard's goal. Then the running, dodging, and scrummages began, in which the sides were about evenly matched. But soon the Canadians had to act on the defensive, as the ball neared their goal. Fourteen minutes after the game began Whiting dropped the ball between and beyond the posts, and goal number one was scored for Harvard. The Canadians now had the kick-off, and sent the ball well up to Harvard's end of the field. Wetherbee caught it, and by a beautiful run carried it far beyond the centre of the field. Here he was stopped, but L. Cushing got the ball and was making for their line when he was caught. He threw the ball to Rollins, who succeeded in gaining a touch-down. H. W. Cushing failed to mark the place with his heel, and on getting into the field, the Canadians charged, and thus an attempt for another goal was lost. The play was now nearly all on the Canadian side of the field. When time was called Keyes had obtained a touch-down, but it was so near the edge of the field that a place-kick was not tried; Seamans, by a masterly drop-kick, had won another goal, and the score stood, - Harvard, two goals and two touch-downs; All Canada, nothing.

After a ten minutes' rest the second half of the game began, the Canadians having the kick-off this time. This half of the game was characterized by some magnificent playing on the part of the Canadians. The beautiful runs of Perram and Taylor, and the kicks of Wilmot and Scriver, were duly appreciated by the spectators. Nor were the Harvards lax in their endeavors to increase their score, though their play as a whole was not so brilliant as in the first half of the game. Herrick made a fine diagonal run, gaining half the length of the field, and followed it up soon after with a touch-down some distance to the right of the goal. Seamans tried a place-kick, but (for the first time in a match, we believe) failed to kick it over. The Canadians now made a desperate rally, and following up their long drop-kicks with good running and tackling, kept the ball uncomfortably near Harvard's goal for nearly the rest of the game, but when time was called they had failed to score, while Harvard had added another touch-down. It should be stated, however, that the game was played with the understanding that goals alone should count. There were but few unusually brilliant plays on Harvard's side. All played well, and played together. Whiting, Herrick, and Wetherbee made excellent runs and kicks, while the two Cushings and Keyes were noticeable for their admirable tackling.

As in the game last spring, it was largely science against strength. Their long kicks were fine to look at, but really availed them little. Their sending eight or nine men into a rush did no good, for there was no one to be rushed, as Rollins would invariably kick the ball one side and then get out of the way. They ran till they were caught, and then "had it down." Harvard's men ran as far as they could and then passed it, and had a decided advantage throughout the game. In justice to the Canadians, it should be said that four or five of their finest men disappointed them. Hope and Kerr, whose formidable appearance so intimidated our team last spring, were both unable to play, as were also Cross and Greenfield. The game was remarkable for its few disputes and the general good feeling which prevailed throughout. Mr. W. E. Russell was Harvard's umpire, Mr. Cleuston umpired for All Canada, and Mr. R. M. Esdaile was referee.

In the evening the visitors were sumptuously entertained by the Foot-Ball Association of Canada at the "Carlton." Speeches were made, toasts were drunk, songs were sung, and the occasion was made one of the pleasantest, if not one of the most inexpensive, features of a foot-ball match.

On the arrival of the team in Montreal, Mr. Russell, the secretary of the club, pro tem., received letters notifying him that the team and their friends were made temporary members of the Metropolitan and St. James clubs. This act of courtesy was highly appreciated, and Sunday was spent in visiting these clubs, in sight-seeing, church-going, etc., and closed with the inevitable visit to the Jesuit Cathedral, where the ever-watchful beadle (who quickly recognized us) listened attentively for the faintest allusion to "Guibord."

HARVARD vs. McGILL.A game was to have been played between the two colleges some time in November, at Cambridge, but Captain Whiting was asked if, through courtesy, he would play in Montreal, and it was decided to play at half past ten, Monday morning. Before the game began a hundred-yards dash was run by Herrick, of Harvard, and Summerhase, the champion runner of Canada, best two in three, - Herrick to have two yards' start. Herrick won the first heat in ten and one fourth seconds, coming in ahead fully the distance allowed. When two thirds of the way in the second, he (Herrick) slipped and strained a cord in his leg, and was obliged to give up. Summerhase took the second heat in ten and one half seconds, and ran the third alone in eleven seconds. Herrick was thus disabled for the game. Fortunately Mr. Russell was able to play, and, donning Herrick's suit, took his place in the field. The game began about eleven o'clock, Mr. Howard as umpire for McGill. Mr. Herrick for Harvard.

Both clubs had evidently determined to fight hard. The McGill men knew each other, played together, and passed the ball more than the All Canadas. The game was exciting in the extreme, both for the players and the lookers-on. The ball at the beginning was kept very close to McGill's goal, and was finally kicked behind, with a Canadian and L. Cushing after it. Cushing secured the ball, but it was decided that the other man touched it first and "deaded" it. This caused some dispute, but the play soon proceeded, the Canadians still acting on the defensive. About twenty minutes after the game began, an accident occurred which seriously marred our thus far uninterrupted pleasure. Mr. Whiting, in an almost hopeless attempt to rush through three men, slipped and fell, breaking the smaller bone of the right leg just above the ankle. Fortunately a surgeon was near by, and Mr. Whiting was immediately removed from the field and properly cared for. Fourteen men, - one of them a substitute, - no goals on either side, and an hour and ten minutes to play. The game went on, fiercer than ever, neither side seeming to gain any advantage, and both sides playing beautifully. At the end of the first half of the game neither side had gained a goal, or even a touch-down. In the second half Seamans kicked it about thirty yards, and landed it safely between and beyond the poles. Jordan made several worthy attempts at goal-kicks, but though the kicks themselves were splendid, they failed to count, and the game closed with the score standing, - Harvard, one goal; McGill, nothing. McGibbon, Campbell, Taylor, and Scriver did some magnificent playing for the home team, while among the Harvards, Lombard, Jordan, Wetherbee, and Curtis played excellently. This was one of the hardest-fought matches the team has ever played, and their victory is most creditable.

After the game the visitors partook of a lunch furnished by the McGill men at the "Carlton." The little time remaining forbade long speeches, and admonished rapid eating; for the train started at three o'clock. Delegates from McGill and from the Association accompanied the team to the depot, and after much hearty hand-shaking the train left amid British cheers and Harvard 'Rahs. No Harvard man can forget the good-will and good cheer which he received from many warm-hearted friends in Montreal.
