That an American can learn the Eng IiShman's game of cricket so well that he can play it good enough to be a Nhlted States team representative to go to England next summer to beat the ---sL British players, has been conclu- siyely proved by J. Barton King. Bart" King is going to be the mainstay of our team that will try it's fortunes against the Englishmen who have played cricket since their schoolboy days. The story of "Bart's" cricket experiences as related to me by d cricketer of Philadelphia, while sit ting in a sleeper on recent eastern trip, is one of fascinating interest. But for an accident on the gridiron. which resulted in King being laid up with a broken leg, the young athlete might not have taken up the English game To-day he is without any doubt tue leading cricket player of "thc home of cricket in the United States" as Philadelphia is called. His average for bowling and batting is the best of ttat large and growing army of resi- dents of the city of Brotherly Love who have taken up the sport of the willow. For 12 years has this Pennsyl- Nania young man been playing the Eritisher's owh Safne, and some crit ics are ready to say that Mir. King Is the fastest amateur bowler 1T the whole world.
 To be perfectly frank, the coming {r,iy, o1, ho a r.l.;y on "Bart" King. for when the "Gentle- men of Philadelphia" went to England in 1S97 King gained the title of "Demon" by his great bowling against Sussex. The Englishmen went in first and Prince Ranjitsinhi, who was to lead the batting was put out hy the lit tie American in short order. Tie first ball of the over took "Ranii's'' middle stump. The Indian-he has been a great fayorite in this country since then-prese his bat to the Amcri can bowler and admitted that King was too much for him. And that was saying great deal.
 Three times has King won the AL Philadelphia bowling trophies. In 1899 King was captain of the Belmont team on it's Canadian trip in which the Ouakers won all their games, and King led in batting and bowling aver ages. |,
 Joe Davis, who is the acknowledged cricket expert in the middle west, says Kings bowling delivery is absolutely fair. He takes bit of run, perhaps 1s feet, and on reaching the wicket both feet are off the ground and both hands are high in the air. This poise is almost invincible. as he stands fully six feet tall, and takes advantage of every bit of his height If he essays a "Yorker" with a sharp in-curve, he makes it the most effective ball deliv- cred. He can break the ball both ways, and is said to be able to curve in the air, a feat that the Englishmen regard with great suspicion, as it is unknown in the land of cricket.

The Seaboard Air Line Railway, of Ports mouth, Va, Is advertising d beautiful, but comparatively little known, region on the West Coast of Florida in three booklets called The Land of Manatee." They are issued by the Sea board, but can scarcely be termed a railroad advertisement, as the only mention of the road is in a brief and modest note printed on the inside of one of the cover pages. They are, in fact, a description of Manatee County, Florida with some account of its history and its many interesting features which will ap- peal equally to the general reader, the in- vestor, the fruit and vegetable grower, and to the tourist and sportsman. The author is MT. Morton M. Cassaday, writer of experience. The beauty of the Manatee country Is well described, and the marvel ous fertility of the soil and equally won derful healthfulness of the climate are told ot Tn way to leave no doubt in the read CTS mind. Manatee county must be the garden-spot of all Florida, and the won- der Is that it has not sooner been settled and the latent riches of its soil turned into good American dollars. A most charming feature of these booklets is their typo graphical appearance. They are printed on hand made paper, and are delightfully."- illustrated with photographic half-tone plates and ornamented with decorative de- signs III fiat monotones that make them really valuable brochures. Persons in terested in Florida, and especially in the possibilities of orange growing and truck gardening. below the frost line, will find these booklets not only interesting, but full or valuable and practical information. They may be had from representatives of the Seaboard Air Line Railway. or upon application to the General Passenger Agent, Portsmouth, Va.

Fishermen who love the sport of musky fishing are thinking of asking the solons of Wisconsin to take meas- ures to protect this gamy and pleasing wolf of the lakes" By comparing angling notes, some of the devotees of the sport have come to the conctu- sion that it is possible to so deplete the lakes of Wisconsin that mus al longe big enough to preserve al me- mento of a seasons visit to the lake region will soon be a rarity. Muskies running from 25 to 30 pounds were common enough ten years ago. It looks as if the average weight of the fish taken during 1902 would not be more than eight pounds.
