During the past week the Associated
Cycling Clubs of New Jersey decided
they would nos be left out Of the pro-
posed central association of cycling clubs
of the entire Metropolitan district, which
is rapidly assuming form. Prior 10 the
meeting on June II, of Representatives of
the associated clubs of New York and
Long Island, it was understood that the
New Jersey clubs feared the projected
association would be detrimental to the
interest of the L. A. w, and would not
indorse the scheme. The New York and
Long Island Association, however. an
nounced they would form the association
alone If New Jersey was reluctant to
join. and their action has determined the
Jersey clubs against further opposition.
Yesterday afternoon a committee con-
sisting of Magistrate Charles Simms, Jr..
President of the Associated Cycling Clubs
of New York; w. H. Kay, President of
the Associated Cycling Clubs Of Long
Island, and Peter A. Brock, President of
the old Metropolitan Association and
member of the Catholic Club. met at the
office of Mr.. Brock, No. IA Debrosses

stltution for the new association, and a
set Of reasons stating the benefits claimed
for the central body for the information

they had been advised by the Associated
cycling Clubs of New Jersey of their en-
thusiasm and hearty cooperation in the
organization. B. Marshall. President

Another victory for the New Jersey
Athletic Club over the champions Of

Club, has added considerably to the repu-
tation of the champions of the Metro
politan Cricket Association. The Ger
mantown cricketers have long been in

made cricket a leading branch in connec-
ton with the department of sport and
continued practice has placed them in
the front rank among the clubs of this
country. Yesterday he return game with

at Bergen Point, and, although the
Quakers had their strongest team out,
were disposed Of more readily than they
were in the match at Philadelphia. 1t
was an interesting game and attracted
any people to Bergen Point. The New
Jerseys were full Of confidence and sent
the visitors first to the bat. About an
hour at pounding at the bali sufficed, and
the Quakers were retired with only s.
runs to their credit. The bowling of the
Jerseymen was puzzling, and M. r. Cobb
andSF. r. Kelly kept down the hits. re-
firing ON of the best batsmen without
a run. Cobb captured five wickets at a
cost of 25 runs, while Kelly secured as
many for % runs. OF the visitors only

set a good example for the home team
by also getting in the double figures. The
champions of the Metropolis were not
