U.S. presidential election 1884 - Campaign.
The issue of personal character marked this campaign. Former Speaker of the House James G. Blaine, had been prevented from getting the Republican presidential nomination during the previous two elections because of the stigma of the "Mulligan letters": in 1876, a Boston bookkeeper named James Mulligan had located some letters showing that Blaine had sold his influence in Congress to various businesses. In just one deal, he had received $110,150 from the Little Rock and ...

In 1884/5, they toured again, with a side which, when he was writing in 1901, Shaw considered to be the best ever to have left England. Lillywhite, who was now 42, confined himself to managing and umpiring, but Shaw and Shrewsbury played. The tour was marred by disputes over umpiring and money.
In the first representative match of the tour, Shaw's XI took on a team comprising Australians who had toured England 1884. This was ...

| | | | 1884: Encyclopedia II - History of Test cricket 1884 to 1889 - English summer of 1884 The first representative match of 1884 was held at Lancashire's ground, Old Trafford, making it the first such match played there. The practice at the time was that the host ground authority would select the team. First Lancashire asked Lord Harris to captain the side, but he refused as he was unhappy about the proposed selection of John Crossland, a bowler, who many considered a thrower. So Lancashire chose their captain and hero, Monkey Hornby instead. In the end, Crossland did not play. Billy Murdoch's Australians had the better of a draw ...

U.S. presidential election 1884 - Republican Party.
Though it could have been his for the asking, incumbent President Chester Arthur did not actively seek the 1884 nomination. Though not widely known at the time, Arthur was suffering from Bright's disease and would die less than two years later. Meeting in Chicago, the GOP turned instead to James Blaine of Maine as their Presidential nominee, and John Logan as its Vice Presidential choice.

| | | | 1884: Encyclopedia II - History of Test cricket 1884 to 1889 - Lillywhite Shaw and Shrewsbury's third tour 1886/7 In 1886, Lillywhite, Shaw and Shrewsbury got together for a third time. Though the side was played as Shaw's XI, Shaw was too old to play much himself, as was Lillywhite. The England team was not a particularly strong one. Six of the players were from Nottinghamshire, the county of the organisers, Shaw and Shrewsbury. The side also got a reputation of playing slow, and therefore unattractive cricket, and the games were poorly promoted. They were poorly attended too.
In the first Test, the Australian captain Percy McDonnell became the ...

| | | | 1884: Encyclopedia II - History of Test cricket 1884 to 1889 - The English summer of 1886 The Australian tour of 1886 again came under the financial aegis of the Melbourne Cricket Club. Before it set off the team was rated the equal to the sides of 1882 and 1884, even though, as a result of continuing discord in the Australian camp, Murdoch, Horan, McDonner, Bannerman and Massie were all missing. The claim proved over-optimistic; the tourists lost all three Tests.
The composition of the English side for the first Test at Old Trafford caused some controversy. Lancashire County Cricket Club, the ground authority, originally ...

| | | | 1884: Encyclopedia II - History of Test cricket 1884 to 1889 - England v Australia 1887/8 There still was no formal organisation of international tours, with any promoter free to try to put together a touring side. However, for ten years, only one team had toured for any one Australian summer. In 1887/8 this changed. Lillywhite, Shaw and Shrewsbury put together what was to turn out to be not only their last professional tour, but the last English tour led by a professional for sixty-seven years. Their team was invited to Australia by the Melbourne Cricket Club. Shaw himself did not tour, but stayed at home to put together a footb ...

| | | | 1884: Encyclopedia II - History of Test cricket 1884 to 1889 - English summer of 1888 Australia toured with what some considered to be the weakest side to leave Australia: the touring party lost the three matches they played before leaving Australia. However, they surprised their critics by winning their first five matches. In a low-scoring Test series, seven of the ten completed innings were completed for 100 or fewer. In the first Test, England only needed 124 runs to win after getting 53 in response to Australia's 116 and 60, on a poor pitch at Lord's, but despite WG Grace's admirable 24, fell 61 runs short. This was Australia's first ...

It moved westward through the Caribbean Sea, reaching hurricane strength on the 6th east of Jamaica. It passed to the south of the island, and strengthened further to a Category 2 hurricane, but a landfall on the Yucatan Peninsula weakened it to a tropical storm. While moving across the Gulf, the storm intensified back to a hurricane on the 11th, followed by a period of rapid intensification to a 150 mph hurricane. It made landfall near Brownsville, Texas on the 13th, and dissipated rapidly over l ...
