SNYDER OF CRICKET THE NOBLE GAME OF CRICKET.

if SsTDER" has given expression to his senti jnents on the noble game of cricket, aa de veloped in the recent game, Thames v Coronjandel. _ After describin? the discom forts the cricketers submitted to before reaching Coromandel, he says : "So they wen tfor five hours to what they call cricket. One man would shoot a small cannon ball at another man who tried to hit with a bat and generally missed. When he didn't miss itj but hit it, some one tried to catch it an d couldn't, when the people would call out butter-fingers, muff, and the like, and afterwards tell him to put his head in a bag and go home to his mother. When a ball by chance was hit, every one commenced running as hard aa they conld as if they were all mad or had got among a swarm of bees at hiving time. When, as in most cases, the bat didn't hit the ball, the ball would hit a man and cripple one of his shits, or catch him in the ribs, or take the skin off hit. knuckles. And the marlmeu seemed io enj.iy this sort of thing. If the bowler got the two batsmen to run, then almost everyone else did the tume, and the ball would be seen living about, slipping out of the catcher's hands to be picked up by some other man, who would send it flying across the field for the bowler to lay hold of, who would let it go past him, and so the batemen (who had settled down quietly) would commence making more runs and the people lot king on, would Bay—Go it, keep back, try it again : another run, and go on. And then these cricketers would be in a lather of sweat, with parched throats, jun-burnt faces, bruised limbs, and yet they called this fun. Those who got beat got laughed at, and those who beat got nothing for themselves except a sprained ankle and damaged clothes with a good deal of money out of pocket. And they go to dinner with dirty hands and faces ; too tired to cab, but so thirsty that they drink till they are three parts tight, and they go home and blow up their wives and say all manner of things because they didn't g-_t as many runs off the ball as some other men did. And there—that's what is called the noble and manly game of cricket Now, snpposing a law was passed that men found guilty of committing certain crimes were to be sentenced to twelve months in a cricket gang, where (Sundays excepted) they were, for every twelve hours out of the twenty four, to be working at bowling each other out, and running after the ball and throwing it up with a succession of '"overs" at the rate of one in every rive minutes, besides getting cracks on the sbin bone, and their finger nails split ; and to be called by the jail: warders butter-fingers and muffs, and to be told to go home and get his mother to wash him and put him to bed, wben he mew he muen't do anything of the kind. I say, supposing this was the law, wouldn't the country rise as one man and protest against such a cruel, harsh, and unfeeling en actment ? Of course they would 1 Those criminals compelled to submit to the tyranny of cricket would rebel, or kill a warder pur posely to be hung or find relief in bread and water and solitary confinement. That's what many of them would do. And yet we found men this week who, instead of making them selves comfortable on a hot day as this was under a cool, shady verandah, with some claret and water and a book, were galloping over a hot field trying to catch balls only to throw them to somebody else when they have been caught. Will any one explain this mystery to me ?"

AMUSEMENTS, AND MEETINGS TO-NIGHT
