Fine Game of Cricket on
Makiki Grounds.
Old Boys Play Like Genuine Ex-
perts-Interest Revived and
More Contests Expected.

The cricket match on the Makiki
Baseball grounds Saturday afternoon
was a decided success. The weather
which was showery in the morning,
turned out Queens weather" in the
afternoon. The match was well
fought throughout and ended in vic
tory for the New Boys who made "a
to the so of the Old Boys.
The toss was won by the New Boys
who sent in their opponents and never
in the experience of cricket on the
islands, has more careful or prettier
playing been seen. The ball was open
ed by Lycett and DR.. Irving, to the
bowling of Macintosh and Hatfield.
Lycett was shortly dismissed by a
catch and was succeeded by Vincent,
who, by a pretty and careful cricket,
piled up the runs. He was neatly
caught by Kane in the long field and
was followed by Kitcat and Hewett,
who each made 3. They were in turn
succeeded by Scrymgeour and Lishman
and the rest of the team in their order,
not one of whom played a bad or
careless stroke. Scrymgeour, who had
not touched a bat for many years un-
til the last fortnight, played most
capital inning and astonished all by
his we'll turned hits TO careful block
ing. Another veteran who put in some
most useful work was w. Lishman.
He has a quaint little cut of his own,
which proved very annoying to the
bowlers, especially when their best
pitched balls were neatly turned off

Old Boys played really good cricket,
and will be opponents to be dreaded
when in practice. The New Boys as
tonished themselves with their smart
fielding; and Stanley is to be congratu-
lated on his wicket keeping. He was
well backed up by Cations long stop
ping. The best batting on their side
was shown by Ahlo, II; and Hatfield.
13: Cation made 10 and Murray 8. All
these men played bright and fast
cricket for their respective scores.
But it must be said that as opponents
of good sound game. the Old Boys
were certainly in the lead.
Unfortunately Kitcat was run out
a misunderstanding just as
he and Vincent were setting down to
work.

Monster Compress to be Erected-Unfor-
tunate Occurrence.
Huntsville, Jan. 2s.-(Special Cores
pondence.)-A monster compress ana gin
that will be a great convenience to the
farmers of this section will be construct
ed in West Huntsville next spring.
Mr. T. w Pratt is the chief promoter
of the scheme and he is backed by the
American Cotton company.
Construction will commence as soon as
the weather permits. The building Will
be of brick adjoining the Coons & Pratt
warehouse. and will be connected with
both the Memphis and Charleston and
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. LOUIS
railways by switch lines which are al
ready laid.
The machinery will be of the very lat
est pattern. The entire plant, equipped
with modern protective devices will cost
not less than $4,000.
The cotton will be ginned and baled
into cylindrical form. One hundred
and twenty-five of these bales weighing
500 pounds each can be packed in an
ordinary freight car that would be load
ed with fifty of the ordinary square bales.
At present there are only five congresses
in the south that make this bale. The
Eastern mills pay from one-fourth to
one eighth of cent pound for cotton
in this shape because the ginning makes
the cotton a grade higher.
When the proposed gin and compress
is in operation. farmer can take his
cotton in the seed to the gin and have it
ginned and compressed into cylindrical
bale within fifteen minutes for $3.50. II
he wishes to relieve himself of all care
of his cotton he can get a warehouse re-
ceipt giving the number of bales, their
weight and grade and sell this instead of
spending day on the square waiting for
an entrance to a cotton yard.
