various cricket oluba in st. Louis, pro-
pose, viaiting the Northwest for tho purpose Of
playing . series of matches, md amongst other
places It ID proposed to visit Chicago. In con-
junction with several other admirers Of cricket,
I endeayored last spring to establish club ID
Chicago, but after several meetings tho project
was abandoned for want of support. havo not
heard that any club has since boon organized,
and my object in addressing you on the subject
now is to call the attention Of Chicago crioketera
to the subject, so TINT st. Louis mny nevor bo
ablo to bolst TINT she threw down gauntlet
Chicago was unable to pick up. An old English
country player myae}f, am aatistlod an eleven
can be rained In Chicago that will do hor credit,
aud give tho st. Louis gontlemon all they can
do to hold their own against But Chicago
orioketers must bo lip and doing, and not lot
grasa grow under their fcot. Yours respect
fully, I'll.
