Cricket Today.

There will be some rare sport at the
baseball grounds this afternoon. A lot
of the baseball players have in all like
lihood laid trap for themselves. They
had the nerve to challenge the crick-
eters of the city for a game at the re-
gular sport of the wicket devotees. The
match will be on the ball field instead
of at the Recreation grounds. The base
ball players say they want at hand a
fence they can lean against when they
get tired. Game will be called about
o'clock.

grounds. Designed chiefly for children
they are not used exclusively by them.
Many OF them are comparatively in
expensive in cost of construction and
maintenance. Grass is not necessary.
trees are often impossible. But the
children must play, and their play
ground must be easily accessible to
the locality in which their parents re-
side. When first opened in Boston.
Mass, and in Providence, r. l.. the
Fairgrounds were on a small scale. In
Providence, for instance. the first i'm
petus was given by the ladies of one
of the church organizations. A vacant
lot was secured in one of the outlying
districts, thickly populated by mill
operations. A fence was built around
it to give the space a degree of seclus-
ion. No definate course of play, was
at first mapped out That remained for
future development. The ladies looked
over the mental photographs of their
childhood plays. Great heaps Of sand
were piled in the enclosure together
with generous supply of shovels and
tin pals and fiat shingles; swings and
teeter-boards were erected and stills
and bean bags were added together
with few cheap carts. Two young
men, one of them an end rush on the
college football team, were hired to
direct the play and to act as referees in
the squabbles which it was anticipated
would arise.
The movement now is established on
a we'll defined basis. There is no lack
of ready subscriptions.
New York has an elaborate park
system but for many years the city
labored under one great disadvantage.
The parks were too far removed from
the sections where they were most
needed. 1t needs no array of figures
to convince us that, under the present
wage scale, it is utterly beyond the
means of the average workingman to
take his family of children, usually
large family, on any long excursion in
search of fresh air. At best these ex-
cursions are limited to Sundays. What
a travesty on fresh air excursions is
miserly few hours, once week during
the summer months! And in this con-
nection it is most serious problem
which cOnfronts us even here, in this
beautiful city. In considering the pro-
posed condemnation of land at Waikiki
for an extension of Kapiolani Park, the
benefit which it is hoped will result to
the workingmen of the down town dis
tricts, with the present method of
is uncertain
Many cities of ne Middle West are
contemplating establishing play
grounds for children. 1 believe st.
Louis has program already mapped
out to that end. 1t is worthy OF note
also that the leading journals in Lon
don are uniting their efforts to secure
small parks and Fairgrounds at more
frequent intervals. They have no un-
certain influence upon the health and
the happiness of children, and men and
women as well. They are of the essen
tial amenities in the absence of which
the lines Of the face grow deeper, and
the hearts of the poorer classes grow
bitter because of the unfortunate, &C
cidental, inequalities of our civiliza-
ton

At the request of a large number of
ladies, and for the additional excellent
reason that some goods are yet on

number of the best dolls are left yet
and will be sold at reasonable figures.

They were two working girls, and
they happened to meet the other day at
the restaurant where they eat luncheon.
The brunette ordered baked beans and
lemonade, and the blond selected fruit

inquiring look Of the other.

the name Of the man she's going to
marry. He isn't very good looking, they
say, but Mary says he's intellectual.
She says
"oh, pshaw' You can't tell from
Mary"
''No; but Saddles seen his photo,
graph, and she says he wears glasses"
"Does he? Well. Mary's lucky, if she
is redheaded. Why, he would just do
anything in the world for that girl"
''Humphr' said the brunette. 'That's
the way she talks now, but you can't
tell thing about it until after They're
married"
"You can tell it easy enough in this
case. He's proved it already" said the
blond warmly.
"Said he'd die for her, I suppose, "
returned the brunette scornfully. "Lots
OF 'em talk that way before they have
to pay the butcher"
'This isn't talk anyhow. He's proved
his love, tell you"
"How? Did he save her life, OF tell
her that her hair is golden?''
Neither. He sold his bicycle to buy
