DRAMATIC CRICKET
The Irving Company Play
at Berkeley.
WONDERFUL RECORDS MADE
An AL Fresco Feast Garnished With
Sparkling Wit From Dis
tant Chimes.

A most enjoyable day despite the
weather was spent at Golden Gate yester-
day, where an exhibition of medieval
cricket was given by an eleven selected
from the Henry Irving Company. ably
assisted by chosen representatives of the
California Cricket Club.
This club. having resolved to do this
thing anyway. had resolved to do it we'll.
Accordingly cards of invitation had been
sent round to all well-known patrons of
the game, and elaborate preparations
made for their entertainment. The
ground had been improved, the pitch dug
up and relaid, and lots of trouble and ex-
pense incurred TO make the affair sue
cess. And success it was. from most
points of view.
The hour fixed for commencing was II 80
o'clock, and by that time both teams with
their followers had arrived on the ground.

ThistIes.

In the first half the Fort Masons were
not in the game for while, and three goals
were against them before they made any
showing, but they pulled themselves to-
gether and evened things up before the
half was finished, and when time was
called it was 3-3.
In the second half the ThistIes were re-
enforced by two fresh men. and even with
this assistance 1t looked somewhat doubt
full for awhile.
The Thistles drove the ball directly 10
their goal from the kickoff, giving them
the lead by one point, and then came forty
minutes of as exciting play as the game
can furnish before another score was
made. But the boys from the fort man
aged to keep the bail close to their goal.
and nothing but hard luck kept them from
making it half dozen times.
But their team-playing finally won, and
the ball was forced past the goal man.
and two minutes later they did it again,
giving them the lead for the first time in
the game.
But they were not able to keep it long.
and the Tbistles counted up three points
by some quick playing, while the soldiers
added but one to their string. and the game
ended 8 TO 6 in favor of the Thistles.

In conclusion, Mr. Bucki stated his inten-

the minds of all away from dreamy IN
realities to the dread fact of what was TO
follow.
William Terriss and Miss Mullward,
leading members of the Irving Company,
were oSpitably received. They stayed
little while and then departed for the city.
Meanwhile the game had been resumed.
Strange to say, no authentic record OF
the second innings of this match appears.
The scOrebOOk stated one thing, while the
telegraph suggested another. Per-
haDS 1t was thought that Arson had n ot
done wisely in declaring the first innings
of his side closed at 81, or perhaps it was
that the luncheon interval had had q
wo0Grous effect upon the visiting team,
but the fact was that just as rain threat
ened 10 drive all participants In the con-
test from the field of action to some
friendly shelter the telegraph board held
this remarkable announcement: "Wickets
down, Z; last man, 664; total runs scored,
992"
Against such formidable scoring as this

team to think OF going in again. so they

All who attended the Association
will ever hold in grateful remembrance
the intelligent, refined aud hospitable
people of Silver Creek and vicinity.
No people ever entertained more gen.
erously or with heartier welcome. A
special debt of gratitude is due Prof.
Edgar Green, Principal of the Law
renee County High School located at
Silver Creek, and his efficient assist
ants, Misses Ella Wright, Matte East
erling and Alice Green, together with
a number of the students, for excel
lent music furnished during the sit
tings of the Associations, visit to the
school on the last day of the session,
and many other appreciated courte-
sizes. This institution, which is thor
oughly equipped, and has an ample
boarding department, is doing mag
nificent educational work for Law
renee and adjoining counties. When
the Association met the attendance
had already reached 10 students, and
was increasing weekly. Silver Creek
is an ideal community for such a
school, and her people may well feel
proud of it.
Rev. r. J. Boone, of Brookhaven, is

occasion in way that won all hearts.
