Cricket promises to be unusually lively In Brook- lyn this coming season, as three clubs will enter the arena there In April next, viz., the old New York Manhattans—now a regular Brooklyn organi- zation—the Apple'on Club and the newly-organ- ized Brooklyn Club, the latter having boldly taken the revolving bull by the horns by excluding mem- bers or their clnb from becoming members or any other cricket club. As the other two clubs raver this principle, the probability la that the antl- revolvlng role will have strong support In Brook- lyn. The Manhattans will enter upon the match- playing season with the strongest team they have jet placed In the Held, as, In addition to Smith -of Detroit as their professional, they have instengaged Emmett an Englishman. ThelrUberal president, Mr. White, has been appointed as the Sound committee of one for the season, and. as he vora progressive ideas, there will be a surety of plenty or practice matches and of full attention being given to the juniors, the club lntendlngto have a strong corps or junior members. The Spring meeting or the Manhattans will take place at Jimmy Smith's early in April, and then things will be arranged for the Summer programme. The Manhattans will take the Held early In April, as will the Appletona. The new Brooklyn Club, too, win begin field practice the same month.
