Although the match was played under very trying circumstances, the eleven gave a very satisfactory exhibition of cricket on Saturday. The Chelsea Club, whose team won the championship of New England last year, put a strong eleven in the field and played well, but Harvard's strongest opponent was the Chelsea umpire, whose work was wretched. Five of Harvard eleven fell easy victims to Simmon's so-called bowling, and Mac Veagh, Hinckley and Smith, suffered from the same cause coupled with remarkable umpiring.

The excellent work of Kaulbach and S. Skinner at bat and of C. Skinner and Garrett with the ball is noteworthy.
