CRICKET.

THE PARIS CLUB.

At a late general meeting, specially called by the hono-
ra►y secretary, T. H. Sparks, Esq., the following resolu-
tions having been proposed by him, were unar.imously

carried :

I. That the annual subscription be 30f.
11. That the entrance-fee be 20f.
111. That two general annual meetings be held, the
second to be 15 days after the first.
(The first meeting to take into consideration `he finances
and the election of the committee and of the officers of the
club. The second for the voting of all new resolutions pro-
posed and seconded at the first.)
IV. That subscription lists be opened, one for the pur-
chase of a new tent, the second for the levelling of ground
and the hiring of professional bowlers and servants.
V. That notice of the above resolutions be sent to all the
members and hon. members of the club.
- - - -

The hon. secretary affords the following information with
regard to the establishing of this club, showing its past
career, also the prospects of the present (Paris Eihibitlon)
year :
" This club was formed in July, 1863, and since its forma-

tion no expense has been spared to ensure its success. The
English and American residents in Paris, who are now but
few in number, have contributed very liberally towards its
support. The French (especially the authorities) have,
both by their patronage and pecuniary assistance, endea-
voured to make the game of cricket in France a national
one ; many clubs have already been formed in the provinces.
" The expenses in the formation of the Paris Cricket Club
have been unusually heavy, and although for the past year
all matches and all extra expenses have been avoided still
there remains a heavy deficit. The number of visitors to
Paris, on whom the club greatly depends, was unfortu-
nately considerably diminished this last season, and con-
sequently there have not been so many subscribers to the
club.

"The attractions of the Exhibition this year will no doubt
induce many elevens to visit Paris, and the membersof the
Paris Cricket Club would naturally like to have their
ground, Ste., in good order, and to have proper accommo-
dation in the way of tents, benches, &c., and, above all, to
able to give their visitors a hearty welcome. A large sum
is required for this purpose, and the hon. secretary appeals
to old and young cricketers for subscriptions, and sin-
cerely trusts that a liberal response will be made, for by
assistance only can the club exist.
"T. H. SPARKS, Hon. Sec. and Treasurer.
"Civil Service Club, and 3, Rue d'Aguesseau, Paris."

HER MAJESTY'S STAG HOUNDS.—On Tuesday a
fine four year old stag taken into the Royal pad-
docks about three weeks ago, from Richmond Park, was
uncartod on Stoke-common, and being an " untried doer,"
the field were anxious to prove whether he was likely to
bo an acquisition, which was settled very happily in the
affirmative by his giving an excellent run of more than
two hours duration over a very heavy country, and show-
ing himself to be a stag of the bravest metal. On his
leaving the cart he took the direction of Burnham Beeches,
and made a slight detour among those beautiful antlers of
the forest; changing his mind, he doubled back to Stoke-
common, thence on to Gerrard's Cross, made his way to
Denham-place, passed by the Denham Fishery away to
Harefield, where he took refuge in a blacksmith's yard.
Richard the Brave here made an 'attempt to take him, but
before he was expert enough to get the rope round the
deer's antlers, he made one flying leap, knocking down all
obstacles in the way of men and boys, and bounded away
in the direction of Rickmansworth. A brace of hounds,
with Morris Hill as huntsman, were got on his track, the
behind and following up, ready
filoarciacctlniaifininreqguired. The gallant stag, not wanting
in courage, led ou through Drake's Park, where the
master not being friendly to the noble sport, the ser-
vants said they " dare not open the gates." How-
ever, despite the refusal, huntsmen were not to be kept out
by a paling with the quarry iu view ; so over they went,
until arriving at a thick copse, the stag was lost to view.
At length he was again found, having traversed up nearly
a mile of watercourse, endeavouring to elude his pursuers.
Still he gamely kept to the front until he was overtaken
in a large field where several unsuccessful attempts were
made to make him a prisoner, but such was his energy then
that ho jumped clean over the head of a well-known rider,
who stands 6ft. high, with three hounds, and who was as-
sisted by Morris Hill to effect his capture. After some
time he was secured at the entrance to Moor Park, having
given the field an excellent day's sport, and was christened
" Snowstorm," iu remembrance of the weather. The Lon-
don brigade did not muster well, but the plucky ones who
did not come down were well rewarded for their trouble,
as the weather was lovely though the country was heavy;
and on the way home those at the finish enjoyed the hos-
pitality of Mr. Benjamin Way, of Denham-place, where
horses and riders found all that was desirable for their re-
freshment, with a kind and hearty welcome from their
host.
