We Play Cricket, Too.


Not content with our yachting victory
which In some respects was quite unsatis-
factory, although 1t clearly developed the
superiority of Defender over Valkyrie-we
have decided to rub 1t in by showing
Great Britain that there are cricketers in
the United States who can play Englands
national game quite as well as some Of
those who have devoted considerable pro-
portion of their waking hours for many
years to practical study Of cricket on
English soil and under purely English
auspices. Yesterday there was concluded
In Philadelphia cricket match between an
eleven composed of graduates or students
of the University of Pennsylvania and an
imported eleven made up Of the stronger
men of Oxford and Cambridge. When the
first day Of the match was over-for it
took three days to settle the event-the
Englishmen were so far in the lead as to
convince almost everybody that further
effort on the part of the Pennsylvanians
was generally regarded as useless But
the university boys do not play cricket as
Lord Dunraven races. With the great big
English total staring them in the face thew
went In and won the victory Of which the
university will long be proud, for the plu-
rality in favor of the American boys was a
clean hundred. Such success as this is
rarely achieved by an American eleven and
that such Is the fact is not at all surpris-
ing. A game that uses up three days can
never be popular in the United States; 1t is
about all that a baseball management can
do to keep its patrons seated for a couple of
hours: therefore it is not likely that any
considerable number of Americans will
ever devote themselves seriously to the
cultivation Of skill as crtcketers Once in
awhile. though, few selected specimens of
our amateur athletes will show visiting
English elevens that If we were so in
ciined We could do just as well in cricketing
as We do In yachting.

Washington q. a Political Center.


To people who are not hampered by sec
tional considerations and whose mental
breadth enables them to comprehend other
than mere local considerations. 1t Is rather
astonishing that there should be argument
as to whether or not the permanent head
quarters of the Republican National league
should be in Washington. 1t is certain
that this Is the national capital. and it
must be admitted, even by those who for
purely personal and selfish asons favor
the selection of Podunk as Headquarters,
that here is centralized the legislative. ex-
ecutlve and judicial power Of the entire
nation. 1t therefore follows that the ma
tional headquarters of all political organi-
cations should be located within the Dis
trict of Columbia; for here and here only
would the officers Of those organizations
be closely in touch with those officials with
whom they need to consult or OF whom they
are, because Of differing opinions, sus-
picious. Politics apart from government Is
an empty nothing; men become politicians
because they hope by so doing to achieve
governmental power to a greater or less
degree; it is therefore essential that the
central and directing forces Of the various
political parties should reside in close prox-
unity to the machinery which runs all our
national affairs. 1t may be argued that
there is complete absence here Of the in
tense political activity which may be found
in any of the large cities at certain seasons,
but that is not seriously to be mentioned as
q disability; this Is neutral ground on
which democrats and republicans and pop
ulists and prohibitlonists may meet on
terms of absolute equality and where they
may work out their varying designs with
.,,k@ 49,
tisan clamor as may be stirred up at al
most any time In cities like New York or
Chicago. for instance. The superiority Of
the national capital as place of residence
for political headquarters should be every
whit as manifest as is the superiority Of
Washington as a place of residence for in
diyiduals.

those which were burned. business has in

Trickery.
From the PittsburS Dispatch.

A Pittsburg sympathizer with Cuba, who
answered New York advertisement for
recruits, learned that the advertisement
was only Spanish decoy, for the double
purpose of locating active sympathizers
and prejudici1g the authorities against
Cuba. This may not be a violation of the
neutrality laws, but 1t is trick that every
American heart will resent. How many of
the men who applied for commissions to
go to the aid of the oppressed island have
been put under surveillance is matter for
conjecture.

THE CALF PATH.

One day through the prdmeval WOOD
A calf walked home. as sooo caves
should;
R,,t made a trail all bent askew.
A crooked trail, as all calves DO.
Since then two hundred years have NED,
And, / infer, the calf is dead
But still he left behind mis- trail:
And thereby hangs my moral tale
The trail was taken up next day
By a lone dog that passed that way;
And then a wise bell-wether sheep
Pursued the trail DER vale ana steep.
And drew the flock behind him, too.
AS good bell-wethers always DO
And from that day. DER hill and glade.
Through those old woods a path was
made.
And many men wound in and out,
And lodged and turned and bent about,
And uttered words of righteous wrath
Because twas such crooked path,
But still they folowed-do not laugh
The first migrations OF that calf.
And through this winding woodway
stalked,
Because he wabbled when he walked
This forest path became a lane.
That bent and turned and turned again;
This crooked lane became road.
Where many poor horse, with his load.
Toiled on beneath the burning sun.
And travelled some three miles in one.
And thus a century and half
They trod the footsteps of that calf.
The years passed on in swiftness fleet,
The road became village street,
And this, before men were aware.
A city's crowded thoroughfare.
And soon the central street was this
OF a renowned metropolis.
And men two centuries and half
Trod in the footsteps or that calf.
Each day a hundred thousand rout
Followed the ZigZag calf about;
And DER his crooked journey went
The traffic of continent.
A hundred thousand men were led
BY one calf near three centuries dead.
They followed still his crooked way,
And lost one hundred years day;
For thus such reverence is lent
To well-establshed precedent.
A moral lesson this might teach.
Were / ordained and called TO preach
For men are prone to go 1t blind
Along the calf-paths of the mind.
And work away from sun 10 sun.
To do what other men have done.
They follow in the beaten track.
And out and in. and forth and back,
And still their devious course pursue,
To keep the path that others do.
Rttt how the wise old wood-gods laugh
Who saw the first primeval calf!
All, many things this tale might teach
But / am not ordained 10 preach.
