( f r o m a c o r r e s p o n d e n t .) Ycur readers will no doubt be interested with a short history of how cricket is getting more and more known in Denmark. It is now twenty years since it was introduced in this country by English engineers, who were here building railways. In the small neat town of Sort), with its well-known college situated by a beautiful lake, the first cricket club in Den­ mark was formed. The students, ifter leaving college, often came to Copenhagen, and of course brought their training with them, and the interest for cricket has since—being more particularly brought forward by the efforts of the Copenhagen Ball Club—extended itself over all Denmark. A t present about seventy clubs exist in this country. The champion club in Denmark is considered to be the Copenhagen Ball Club, and, as a fact, they are justly entitled to it, and really have shown great improvement in both fielding and batting. Their ground is situated just outside the town in a large field called N<5rvefalled (North field). Last year eight matches were played, won seven, lost one. The most interesting were three with the Royal yacht “ Osborne ” cricket 3 lub. The Copenhagen players won two out of the three; but in the first, being only a trial match, their team was assisted by three of the Osborne Club ; the last was lost by only L3 runs. The results of the three matches v. R.Y.O.C.C. are as follows:— NEXT ISSUE, FEBRUARY 28.
