English women Play Cricket.

Most people know what an excellent
cricketer the present governor Of Bonn
bay is. but that Lady Harris could also
handle the bat in mastery style--if it
be permissible TO speak of lady's style
as masterly-was not generally known
Nevertheless this appears to be the case
from the following account of cricket
match whicbi Is copied from an Indian
paper:
A very successful cricket match was
held at the Glade, Mahableshwur, on
Tuesday. Each side consisted of six
ladies and six gentlemen, the gentlemen
having 10 play left handed with broom
stick, bowl and field with the left hand,
one side being captained by FL. E. Lady
Harris and the other by Mrs Won Donop.
Mrs Won Donop having won the toss,
the game began at 5:15 p. m, Mrs.
Drake and General Sir FL. Prendergsst
going to the wickets to face the bowling
of Miss Holland and Captain Cox. The
innings closed about 6 p. H. for IS; Sir H.
Prendergast, Miss Morris and Mrs. Won
Donop playing well and getting into
double figures
Lady Harris side soon after began
its innings with Miss Kirkham and
Major Curtis. to the bowling of Miss
Morris and Captain Drake. Several
wickets very soon fell for very few runs,
but on Lady Harris going in stand was
made Eventually after great excite
ment the innings closed for 60, Lady
Harris side thus winning by runs
Lady Harris thoroughly justified her
position as captain, playing brilliant
innings of AZ, hitting 10 all parts of the
ground aud winning the match for her
