Newark avenue hill last night. The

there was a halt and another attempt
to go up the hill, bu as before the at

Notes pscksd Frosn The Cricket Field

f.. r.. Short has been reelected captain
of the Staten Island c. c.. and A. E. Pat
terson, vice-Captain. The second eleven
will be in charge of R. st. G. Walker,
and in his absence Malcolm Graham. Jr..
will act.
The annual International match between
the United States and Canada will this
year be played in Philadelphia. The
Canucks will not nave so easy a thing as
they had last year. and may prepare for
defeat.
A team from Nova Scotia will probably
play in Boston this season. Thu tour
might also take in New York and Phila-
delphia If there is time to play a large
schedule Of matches.

it is not canvassing for new members and

be able to develop a first class team from

boys and there is no reason why the New
Jersey A. c. should not be likewise pro-
gressive. The League could do much to
encourage the movement by having a junt
ior section, in which the association or a
combination eleven of that organization
could also be represented. The schedule
need not interfere Wfth the championship
matches, as the juniors could play mid
week games.
The athletic clubs are slowly waking
to the fact that cricket adjuncts are de-
cidedly favorable to the success and
prosperity Of their organizations. The
New Jersey Athletic Club was the first
to recognize this. and now the crieketers
form one of the most important depart
ments in the club. The ST. Georges Ath-
letic Club has followed suit, and now the
Crescent Athletic Club has organized a
team.
Harry Tyers, the well-konwn pro, .
will again act for the New Jersey Ath-
letic Club at Bergen Point this season.
J. Beaumont. who PLAYED for Surrey about
eight years age has been engaged by the
Creseents, but the Manhattans have not
yet decided Upon their man.
The Boston Athletic Association eleven,
under George Wright, the veteran base
ball player and cricketer, will play at
BERGEN Point during the second week
in Jurse. The team is the strongest in
New England.

again. The only way to keep it
out is to prescribe it, as the Ger

Houston has had some good

old town had something of the
kind to stir the blood in her
veins and stimulate her to put
forth her energies for the per-
Torrance of works of a reform
nature. The only trouble with
reform in this age is that it is put
forth more for the benefit of the
refOrmers than of those who are
the supposed subjects of it. Phar,
