FAMOUS CRICKETER.

Lord Hawke and His Celebrated Team in the United States. The appearance of Lord Hawke in the United States, accompanied by his team of expert English cricketers, re-

vives interest in tne sport of old England in America. Lord Hawke, who is in charge of the English team, has been in America several times before. In 1892 he brought over a cricket team, and as the game was strictly their own, they expected to wipe the : platter. This was a disastrous visit for them, however, a?

they succeeded in winning but one match. Lord Hawke felt chagrined at the result, and is now here with a stronger team than before, most of them being college men from Cambridge and Oxford. The series of conte ts he proposes to have with Kew York and Philadelphia will be watched with interest all over the country.
