After the welcome showers of rain on
Friday and Saturday which continued
up to early Sunday morning cricket fans
we're beginning to despair that the open,
ing of the cricket tournament would not
be the success they expected, but this
was not so, as fine weather favored the
grand opening and the largest crowd of
people that ever assembled on the Par
ade Ground for a very long time wit
messed the beginning of the first Test
match. and the automobiles arranged
side by side was also the largest number
seen on the cricket field. which made a
beautiful scene that will long be remem-
bered. Sometime before the opening
hour the field was crowded with anxious
lovers of the game, and as the true
holiday spirit was there, with everybody
in their sporting attire and latest fash
ions. Christiansted made a day that will
go on record as a red-letter day. The
Police must be commended for their eX-
celIent work in keeping traffic clear. as
the congestion of the passing vehicles
was great and required skilful handling.
Inspector Ebbesen was in cha ge Of the
traffic squad, and as usual our expert
enced Senior Chief of Police Espersen
was also kept busy yesterday, and there
was something that we can always feel
proud of, perfect order prevailed through
out the day.
The result of the Il atch yesterday was
as St. Kits, 1st inning, 68
runs, St. Croix 1st inning 72 runs. St.
Kits in their End inning scored Is runs
with 4 men out, when wickets were
drawn, the match to be continued today
at IL O'Clock. There was excellent playing
with the men Ct both clubs, and the
visitors are assured that St. Croix will do
its best in entertaining them as guests
