wedding jaunt to Europe. and at the
present are the guests of DIR. and Mrs.

the North Shore. They will return
to Boston with the Searses in early No
vembef, and after that will look about
for their own vine and fig tree. Mrs.
Lodge was Miss Emily Sears and Is
remarkably lovely young woman,
who is more partial to intellectual pur-
suits than to the frivols. She passed
a year in Paris after graduating at
Miss Spence's School, studying French
art and music. Mr.. Lodge, grandson
of the late Senator from MasSa-
chusetts and the only bearer of his

Miss Elizabeth Davis of this city. He
graduated from Harvard two years
ago, and 1t was rumOred that he in
tended to take up journalism as a

Mr. Bernon S. Prentice, president Of
the Seabright Lawn Tennis nd Cricket
Club, has been exchanging letters with
the president of the Germa mt own
Cricket Club, deploring that, try as
they may, they cannot establish the
popularity of the British game on the
firm footing it held 40 years ago. At
Seabrght the members frankly play
tennis, and at Germantown, where
all is cricket green, there has
been little activity. To enliven
things both presidents induced an
English eleven to come over and
give a game. and though the Wis
itors were tremendously applauded
and entertained, it is obvious that
Americans cannot get up the proper
zeal to make a go Of the famous Brit
fsh pastime, and it fails to rank with
tennis, golf and foot ball and base
ball In 1887 the first cricket crease,
as the term goes, was laid at Sea
bright, and all through that open sea
son the game was played as enthusas-
ticaily as 1t could have been about
London or at the British universities
and colleges. The late John T.. Roker
was the first president. and he had
learned the game during his Eton
days. Among those who supported the
club and played cricket with the best
were Samuel S. Auchincloss, Wilson A.
Street, Joseph c. Hoagland, Holcombe
Ward. Henry M. Alexander and the
late John Jacob Astor. The German
town Cricket Club had the backing
Of its substantial and prosperous coun-
try club, and that at Merton, but
all those who have contributed to the
upkeep now acknowledge little sadly
that cricket is not the game for Ameri-
cans and that it makes no headway
against the already established ia
