Speaking Of the old English game Weeks
Sport says: The general pablic will be sur
prised to know that cricket is quite an old
game in this country. II was fully $50 years
ago when the first game Of cricket was
played in this country, and what will sur
prise Americans more than the length of
time that the game has been played here is
the fact that in 1851 an American team beat
team of LondOners In New York CITY.
though, of course, both teams were probably
cOmuOsed of Englishmen, but those who
made America their home were called the
American eleven. We call this surprising.
because interest In cricket has moi
very materially advanced during the last
few decades. Even to this day Englishmen
form the nuclei of most American clubs.
and it can safely be said that if it were not
for their interest and enthusiasm the grand
game would be even less known and PLAYED
than 1t is at present. The larger part of
the American public has simply ignored
cricket and made great favortes Of less en-
joyable and far less scientific games.

Then. Too, with good judges aud a fair

Opera House during the Amateur Athletic

him more than once in the course of the

Keeley's Cure for the Grin.

A Louisville (Ky.) dispatch of the 10Th
inst. says: A gentleman of this city in
a letter to DR.. Kelley of Dwight, ILL.,,
stated that he had been suffering for
several weeks. with the grip. In his re-
ply DR.. Kelley says: II would like to
suggest a treatment for grippe which I
know is nearly specific as we'll as inno-
cent. 1t is simply asafetida, given in
four-grain pills, n pill four times a
day. No man need be sick of the grip
these days who will take it. For the
past two years, with all the patients here
subject, of course, to such epidemic, I
have not had one man to go to bed from
the disease. I break it up very quickly,
and, in fact, cure it. If the treatment
was generally known it would save suf-
ferers much expense and Indebtedness
and many useful and valuable lives.

Advantages of Sheep.

1t will in reality pay to grow sheep for
mutton alone, and the money obtained
for wool is all clear gain. One of the
chief advantages of handling sheep is
that it is practicable to keep them con-
stantly under your care, and much loss
may be prevented which would occur if
this was not the case. Another impor-
tant point is that they will flourish on a
short range. Then they yield readily to
will in the matter of breeding. You can
change in the shortest possible time
whenever the fashion in wool or flesh
changes. Then, under the present de-
mand for mutton, there is no necessity
for ever having any old sheep on hand.
as this class can be worked off from year
to year and the flock kept young and
thrifty. 1t is also possible to build sheds
