LOCAL CRICKET CLUB
ANNOUNCES SCHEDULE
Enthusiasm Shown at Meeting at Cham
Der Of Commerce Last Night by
Lovers of British Pastime.
PLAY PRACTICE GAME MAY !

The Washington Cricket Club met at
Chamber of Commerce last evening, d.
H. Rhodes presiding, and a large aggre-
cation of local enthusiasts of the Brit
ish pastime attended.
1t was decided that the opening prac-
tice game would be on May 8, the
Presidents team opposing the Captains
team. The schedule of regular inter.
city games being fixed as follows:
May 49, at BaItimore-Sons Of ST. George.
May 30. at Philadelpha-British Americans
June l. at Washington-Sons of st. George.
June o. at Baltimore-Sons OF st. George.
July 4, at washington-British Americans
July s. at washington-Fals Of Schuylkill.
July Is. at Washington-Sons Of St George
August g. at Baltimore-Sons of St George.
August "a at washington-Sons of st. George.
There are other games in prospect that
will be interlineated in the schedule with
elevens from Pittsburg, New York, and
Philadelphia.
1t is notable that the local cricket team
is taking on more ambitious schedule
this season than in former years. and
this is due to the fact that Capt. Jimmy
Rose has surrounded himself with a fine
array of cricketers, and feels conndent
of giving all the cracks of the Northern
cities a bally good rub.
The keynote of the meeting seemed to
be the propagating of embryo cricketers
by stimulating the interest in the game
among the juveniles, and regular weekly
practice games will be held to instruct
the younger element in the intricacies or
the game. Rev. Dr. w. E. Collendar will
have the boys under his espionage.

An Anary Tree.

In Idaho there exists q species OF
the acacia.tree that a writer In Har-
per's Weekly says is entitled to be
elassed as one Of the wonders OF
plant iFe. The tree attains a height
of about ..ght feet. When full grown,
1t closes it's Ssaves together In coils
each day at sunset. When the tree
has thus settled itself for its nights
sleep, it will flutter violently If touch
ed, and if you shake the branches
1t will emit a nauseating odor strong
el.odgh to bring on headache.
In Idaho 1t is called the angry
tree" and it is said that 1t was dis
covered by some men who were max
ing a camp for the night. and placed
one end of canvas covering over one
of its sensitive branches, to use 1t as
a support. Immediately the tree be-
gan to jerk it's branches sharply. The
motion continued with increased "ner-
vousness," until at last there came
sickeriag odor that drove the tired
men to q more hospitable camping
place.
