THE CRlCKETERS SADLY
LACKING IN ENERGY
Long Stop Remoans the Laziness and
Excuses Of the Honolulu
Willow Wielders.

Sporting Editor of the Advertiser:
Cricket without doubt is the game of
all games where two or three Britishers
are gathered together, and there is not a
single corner of the earth where the pas
time does not flourish to greater or less
er extent. Wherever there are enough to
form a club, there will be found the nee
essary enthusiasm to become proficient
in the game and to make cricket enjoy
able not only to the players but to visit
ors to the ground.
Every rule has it's exceptions, however,
and in the rule of cricket the most not
able exception seems to be right here in
Honolulu.
All sports-whether cricket, golf, foot
ball, rowing, tennis or baseball-require
much practice If creditable performances
are to be looked for, and it is imperative
II at certain amount of time be devoted
to practice. All of the branches of sport,
with the exception of cricket, receive from
their respective followers the time and en-
ergy necessary to the attainment of per-
fiction. Why is this lack of interest
When the last annual meeting of the
Honolulu Cricket Club was held, II looked
as IL the ensuing cricket season would be
hummer. How has ii turned out? Prac-
tee, none; practice matches badly at

ceney to make an excuse. The result is
that the afternoon Is spoiled for. say, at
least a dozen Others. Then, again, this
one wants to rest so as to be fresh for
golf on the following day, and that one
must take his girl TO picnic or partici-
pate In some other equally effeminate
amusement. The consequence is that one
/ OF the finest and most invigorating OF
sports is dwindling into local nothingness
for the lack of that pluck and sportsman
like behavior which are so characteristic
Of many other places where the tremen-
dous advantages of beautiful climate
and an excellent ground are entirely
wanting.
Why do not more of the baseball mer
join the ranks of the cricketers? Such
men as Ross or Woods would be credit
to many flrst-class clubs, and ably demon
strate that with practice baseballers
would make Al cricketer-.

| In conclusion, j ask that the "Grea'
Game" may once more come to the from
and that today's match will give new
stimulus TO a sport which always takes
a Britisher back TO the old home with al
its endearing remembrances.

YACHT OPlTSAR A FINE
ADDITION TO THE FLEET
Likely Looking Graft Arrives on the
Alice Cooke to Enter the
Local Sport.

The fleet of racing craft received an
addition this morning In the shape OF the
yacht opitsar. The new boat is owned
by Harry Penhallow and is a likely-look-
ing craft, p feet over all, and reputed to
be flyer.
The Opitsar arrived on the schooner
Alice Cooke and has not yet been taken
off the deck. She was designed and built
on board the Alice Cooke while that ves-
sci was making trip to Alaska. After a
while she was brought to Honolulu and
afterwards taken to Oakland, where she
has been lately.
The Opitsar, which is the Chinook for
sweetheart" has been reftted, painted
and newly canvassed and looks as pretty
as her name. Her arrival will be wei
coined In local racing circles and already
whispers OF an impending race are going
around.

LITTLE COMMENT At DUBLIN.
Victoria Not Informed of the Attempt
ON Her Sons Life.

DUBLIN, April 5.-The news of the at
tempt TO assassinate the Prince of Wales
came too late to be generally known. and
1t caused but little comment owing to the
overwhelming interest taken In the Queens
visit. The correspondent of the Associated
Press communicated the news to the cas-
tie and 1t was then sent to the vice regal
lodge, but it is understood the Queen was
not informed of the occurrence, the dis
patches to her Majesty on the subject be-
ing held over until this morning (Thurs-
day.
AT the castle the report was not credited
at first and was received in a rather non
chalant manner. Sir Matthew White-Rid-
ley voiced what appeared to be the pre-
vailing sentiment, saying that some crank
had endeavored TO gain notoriety, but had
fortunately failed.
Ignorance of detail and the fact that the
prince had escaped made this startling
occurrence quite subsidiary to local news,
and none of the papers displayed the Brus-
sells dispatches to any great extent. Neither
does any morning paper comment on them
editorially. Tomorrow there will be sew
eral expressions of opinion, but the rejoic-
ing that pervades Dublin seems to have
prevented even the contemplation of an
event which, had it eliminated fatally
would have thrown the capital OF Ireland
into mourning and stopped all the festivi-
ties.

THE DATE OF EASTER.
A Little Ecclesiastical Confusion over
1t This Year.
New York Commercial Advertiser.

New York Commercial Advertiser.
An interesting discussion has been going
on of late in England as to the correct
date of Easter Sunday for the present
year. Some contend that April Is. the
Sunday named. is correct, but others have
insisted that 1t should have been placed on
the following Sunday. April p After a
long discussion. which seriously agitated
the early church, this question was sup
posed to have been settled in the fourth
century by the Council of Nicaea, and 1t
seems strange that the question should be
raised again at the close of the nineteenth
century.
This discussion abroad has brought to
light some interesting facts concerning
the day so generally observed throughout
Christendom. Easter day is always the
first Sunday after the full moon which
happens upon or next after the 21st day of
March; and. If the full moon happens up
on Sunday, Easter day is the Sunday
following. But in order that the church
nomincal calculations. the council adopted
a set of rules by which to determine with
what was thought to be sufficient accu-
racy the dates on which the full moon
should be assumed to fall.
The confusion rises this year from the
difference in time of the occurrence of the
ecclesiastical full moon according to the
rules named and the astronomical full
moon. Generally the fictitious full moon
comedies with the astronomical full moon.
but sometimes II is day wrong, as hap
pens to be the case this year. The tabular
full moon reckoned according to the tables
of the Book of Common Prayer and ac-
cepted by Western Christendom occurs on
Saturday, April IA. but the actual moon
in the heavens will not be full until after
midnight of that day. That Is. the astro-
nomical full moon occurs at two minutes
past l o'clock on Sunday morning. April
Is. Following the astronomical moon.
Easter day would be Sunday. April %. but.
taking the ecclesiastical moon. 1t occurs on
April 10.
1t should be noted also that the deter
mination of the Day of the Passover by
the Jews depended not on the full moon.
but on the fourteenth day after the new
moon And the Christian rule is founded
on the Jewish. The Jews also reckoned
their days from evening to evening. The
ecclesia stical moon is new this year on
March 30-April !. so that what Is called the
full moon i'm the Prayer Book falls correct
ly on the fourteenth day of the month,
though the astronomical full moon just
misses that date.

Prince of Wales was posted at the Man.
sion House this evening and attracted i'm
mense crowds, who expressed their feeling
I'm alternate matchmaking the assaiIant
and cheering the prince The news spread
with marvellous rapidity in all parts of
London. and created the most intense ex-
element. The fact that the attempted as
sassination occurred i'm a city where DR..
Leyds. the diplomatic agent of the Trans
vaal. makes his headquarters was gen.
orally taken TO indicate that the would-be
assassin was a Boer sympathizer. and this
so infiamed passions that the most bitter
invectives were hurled against the Beers
and everything connected with them.
The government was wholly ignorant of
the attempt upon the life of the Prince of
Wales until the press dispatches on the
subject were communicated to the Foreign
Office. The Marquis of Salisbury immedi-
ately telegraphed to the Prince of Wales
his congratulations on his escape. while the
United States charge d'affaires, Henry
White, who was calling on the premier at
the time. promptly went to Marlborough
House and eft his card there.
All the officials were greatly disturbed by
the occurrence. and the general view was
that 1t must be connected in some way with
the Transvaal. especially as the Prince Of
Wales has always heretofore been such a
favorite on the continent. and never before
has been molested in the slightest degree.
One high Official remarked: THAT settles
the question Of the Prince of Waless visit

Some fears were expressed as to the
effect of the occurrence In Dublin. 1t was
pointed out that such attempts are con-
tagious. On the other hand. those who are
best acquainted with Ireland contended
that the only effect would be the determi-
nation of the Irish that no un.oward Incl
dent should mar the success of the Queen s
visit. The news of the attempt on the life
of the Prince of Wales was Immediately
telegraphed to Queen Victoria.
