The occurrence Of visit to the United States
Of par ty Of trained cricketers from England,
to engage in a match with a New York club, is
one worthy OF directing the American mind to
this special open-sir amusement and manly
axerose.
oaIoEET IN ENGLAND.
Its sport in the highest favor in England,
and has produced some of the finest specimens
Of well developed men in that Island. There
are clubs in each county, and the best man Of
osch club becomes II member Of representa-
Two club at London, constituting an associs-
ton Of tho hest oricketerS for tho time being in
England. Thsre are two such clubs-ihe OLD En-
ylo1d and the United Old England-from which
are detailed the delegation which has accepted
the ci,allenge Of the New York and Canada
yricket clubs. There has been recently formed
in London another club, called the New Old
lgoes1d, which, in due time, will, no doubt,
assume an influential position.
CRICKET ~ CINCINNATI.
About al!een years ago ericketing was in
troiuoed as d sport In Cincinnati, and two
clubs were for ued, ono named "Queen City,
of which Jonathan Hattersley was leader,
and the "West,rn," of which Mr. g. W.
Brooks was q INading member. For while
ths snort and oAntes. was animated--some
English bowlers and bstters in our midst Civ
ing great character to the game at this point,
but both club. were dssolved hnsliy, and a
new organization il now III active training;
| this |, the
UNION CRICKET CLUE OF CINCINNATI,
Now three years actively engaged in the
snort, of which Mr.. Jonathan Hsttersley is
President. They have suitable grounds under
lease on East Walnut Hills, q short distance
beyond Cocks Nursery, where they play
| eyory Wednesday and Saturday. They have
made an application to the English players to
| accept of an invitation to visit Cincinnati. A
liberal contribution to meet all expenses Of
the guests would, no doubt, be paid by our
citizens. We have witnessed the playing Of
|, the Union Club, and the members are noted
I for their affability and gentlemanly courtesy,
and the rules Of the club forbid any of the
exciting or angry personal contests frequently
induced by contestants. All have to yield to
the decision of an umpire.
