Australians 10 Play New Jersey at
Bergen Point.

Manager Musgrove, who is in CHARGE of
the arrangements for the Australian base
bail players, and who left Australia some
months ago to make a tour of the United
States, has decided to visit New York
city and play some of the crack college
amateur teams in and about this vicinity.
The Australians are all amateur gentle
men players, and their idea in coming
to this country was just to see how they
compared with our best amateurs and
professionals, and to show, more than
anything else, how the game has pro-
crossed in Australia. While their exhi-
billions are confined principally to ball
playing, there are on the team several
of Australia's strongest cricketers. and it
is their intention while in New York to
play some of the strong cricket clubs in
this district, probably the Staten island
or the New Jersey A. c.. team. They
would much prefer to play tie New Jer-
sey team, owing to the fact that they
are champions of the district.
The New Jersey A. C. committee feel
confident that If Musgrove comes here
that some arrangements can be made
whereby they will play them d game. The
team will arive Friday evening at 0.30
p. M. over the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. The local arrangements have been
placed in the hands of Huyler Wester-
welt, the ~well-known pitcher of the
Orange A. C. Clubs who desire games

SALTS AND WRINKLES.

explanation flashed over her. She and
her friend Were sitting in front Of wood
fire talking. The fire lit up their faces
and brought out strangely every shadow
that was made by an inequality of the
skin. From time to time, as they talked,
the friend raised her smelling hottie to her
nose and inhaled its pungent odor
All the unbecoming lines in her friends
face suddenly deepened They dominated
her friends expression completely, for
they were the result of sudden screwing
up of her face because of the pungent
odors of the hartshurn i'll the bottle Then
it came TO her mind that there We're some
women among her younger acquaintances
whose faces were beginning To show those
same curious lines about the eyes, nose and
mouth, and she knew that these women
were also addicted to the use of smelling
salts.
"Myi" she exclaimed to her friend,
"don't ever use those horrid salts again "
"And why not?" asked her astonished
friend.
Because they are making you hideous

do you use them for anyway?"
