CRICKET.

By F. F. KELLY, Secretary of the New York Cricket Association.

Cricket enjoyed a lively season, like all other sports in America during the past year. There were two international matches, the American representatives losing one match and winning another. The international contest between Canada and the United States was decided in Philadelphia, and the American experts captured the event by an inning and 104 runs. The other international affair was between the famous team of Lord Hawke and the best players of California. Lord Hawke's aggregation won by 3 wickets and 30 runs. The championship of the New York Cricket Association was left undecided, the Columbia Oval and Essex County teams having tied for first place.

From the interest taken in the sport this season it is apparent that this old game of the Britons is gaining a big following among native-born Americans, and there is reason to believe that it will eventually become one of the popular sports of the country. The game is now being played by the students of Harvard, the University of Pennsylvania and several other colleges. At Harvard more than one hundred men indulge in this interesting sport.

The following are the statistics of the season of 1902:

NEW YORK CRICKET ASSOCIATION.

Owing to the lateness of the season, the championship of the minor league was not actually decided, the Columbia Oval and Essex County clubs being tied for first place. The individual prizes, however, were won by A. Bunce, of the Paterson club, for batting, and H. O. Wilkinson, of the Columbia Oval Club, for bowling.

CURLING.
By DAVID FOULIS.

The Curlers were active in this vicinity last season, the booming of the curling stones being heard frequently at Van Cortlandt Lake. The most important match of the season was the contest for the John Dewar Challenge Cup and four gold medals. In the final round the Utica team easily defeated the Empire City Rink by the overwhelming score of 21 to 10. The coming curling will be the most active ever seen in this country, owing to the fact that a number of Scotch experts will cross the Atlantic to measure their skill with the best Curlers of Canada and the United States.

John Dewar Challenge Cup and four gold medals to the winning rink, played at Cortlandt Lake, Febru ary 12 and 13, 1902, 15 rinks competing-Final Round-Utica No. 1 vs. Empire City-A. H. Munson vs. Adam Manwell, F. M. Calder vs. Adam Manwell, W. F. Allen vs. Joseph Connell, J. E. McLoughlin, skip 21, vs. William Manwell, skip 10.

Skip McLoughlin's rink won the challenge for the Utica club, and four gold medals for the rink, the latter to be personal property of the players in the rink.

North vs. South of Scotland match for the Dalrymple Medal, Van Cortlandt Lake. January 12, 1902Won by South by a majority of 7 shots. Treasurer George W. Peene won the Dalrymple Medal, Robert Ellin the Hoogland Flag, and W. G. Fraser the Fitzpatrick Medal. All three trophies won by the Southern

curlers.

SIX-DAY BICYCLE RACE.

The fourth in the series of six-day team races on the bicycle track, inaugurated in Madison Square Garden, New York City, in 1899, was started at 12:01 a. m., Monday, December 8, 1902, and ended at 10:40 p. m. on the succeeding Saturday. Of the large number of teams which started accident or weariness compelled the retirement of a considerable proportion, and only eight teams participated in the finish, which was fully as exciting as that of the previous year. These were so closely bunched at 10:08 p. m. that all were called off the track and notified that their final positions would be determined by one-mile sprints with a flying start. The leaders were to contend for first and second place; the teams tied for second place were to race for third, fourth and fifth money; and the two in third place would sprint for the sixth and seventh positions. Leander, of the Leander-Floyd Krebs team, and Jacobson, of the Newkirk-Jacobson team, made a gallant race for the leading honor, and were only two feet apart at the end of the mile, which was covered in 2m. 52 1-5s., only the final lap being a fast one. Jacobson led at the start and it was not until the seventh lap that Leander passed him and got a lead of ten yards. Jacobson put on terriffic speed in the final lap, but Leander outsprinted him and won. Better time was made by McFarland in the second sprint, he beating J. Bedell by 15 yards in 2m. 41 4-5s.. with Moran third. Leander's time was excelled again by Root in the third sprint, he finishing his mile in 2:45 3-5. The distance covered in the race as a whole was another falling off from the record made in 1899, and the result would appear to indicate that the longdistance riders are not developing endurance of speed, the distance growing less with each year: The positions of the men at the end of the race were as follows:

FENCING IN 1902.

By GEORGE SANDS.

2,231

Fencing enjoyed a pronounced boom during the season of 1901-1902, especially among college students. In fact, it was the liveliest season that fencing has ever enjoyed in this country. This is plainly shown by the fact that no less than seven teams took part in the intercollegiate championship, including teams from West Point and Annapolis. Although it was the initial appearance of the West Point cadets in this contest, the young soldiers easily carried off first honors, with the fine record of 40 victories and 14 defeats. Annapolis, which won the championship in 1901, was beaten out for second place by Columbia University. The sailors lost by a single point. The representatives of the Fencers' Club of New York did the best work of the season. Most of the points in the national championship went to the members of this old organization. Fitzhugh Townsend has, perhaps, the best individual record of the year. In the senior team championship at foils he did not lose a single bout. He seemed to be off-color at the national individual championships, for the best he could do was to get second place to Charles Tathem in the duelling sword competition. James P. Parker, of the Boston A. A.. gave an exceptionally clever exhibition at the natinal championships and surprised the New York experts by winning the contest with foils. There is every indication that the graceful pastime of fencing is rapidly growing in popular favor. Important matches of the year:

The Military Tournament takes place annually at Madison Square Garden, New York City. It is held under the auspices of the Military Athletic League, an organization made up of National Guardsmen. The tournament, which lasts a week, is sanctioned by the United States authorities, and detachments of artillery, cavalry and infantry are always detailed by the War Department to give exhibitions during the week. Each night of the tournament there is a review of the Regulars and National Guardsmen by some prominent official or army or navy officer. After the review there are musical drills, battle drills and mimic warfare. Altogether it is one of the most picturesque fixtures held in the metropolis during the year. The profits of the tournament are used for the purpose of supplying the army posts and ships of the navy with gymnasium apparatus. During the past two years more than $20,000 has been spent by the league in this way. These athletic outfits, furnished by the Military Athletic League, give the enlisted men an opportunity to improve their physical condition that they could get in no other way. In connection with the military tournament there are a great number of athletic events, and the organization winning the biggest number of points in these contests wins the championship trophy. The Twenty-second Regiment won the trophy for the fifth time at the last tournament. The Twenty-second Regiment scored a total of 89 points, while its next nearest competitor, the Twenty-third Regiment, scored but 46 points.

The officers of the League are: Colonel Charles H. Luscomb, president; Lieutenant-Colonel H. H. Treadwell. of the Twenty-second Regiment, and Lieutenant-Commander Alfred B. Fry. Major W. A. Turpin, Thirteenth Regiment, vice-presidents: Captain John J. Dixon, Forty-seventh Regiment, recording secretary: Brevet Major David Wilson, Second Battery, corresponding secretary, and Lieutenant-Colonel N. B. Thurston, Ordnance Officer on General Roe's staff and former Deputy Police Commissioner, treasurer. Six tournaments have been held since the inception of the League.
