Total.........139 C r icket , despite the extraordinary activity of the mosquito this year, has nevertheless ad­ vanced considerably, several new clubs springing up and many more matches being played than heretofore. The mosquitoes have certainly detracted from the pleasure of the game, and it has been no uncommon occur­ rence to see the ground surrounded by smudges, lit to smoke out the pest. We have frequently seen Long Leg leaving the exact spot at which the bowler has stationed him, stealthily drawing near the smudge. It is un­ pleasant to be conscious of a mosquito just behind your ear as the bowler is about to bowl, and to attribute the downfall of your wicket to such an accident is at best an undignified excuse. The North-West Mounted Police at Regina have advanced to the top of the cricket tree in the North-West Territories, and would give Winnipeg, the premier club of Manitoba, a hard tussle. They have two good bowlers in Sparrow, their captain, and McMahon; a good all round batting side, their particular stars being Sparrow, Flindt, Cooper, and Inspector Macdonnell; but it is in their fielding that they particularly excel, alas! an uncommon virtue out here. W ith a good wicket-keeper they would be in this department first rate. The local clubs in the Eastern part of the Territories would appear to be very even; Cannington Manor, Grenfell, Indian Head, Moosomin, and Pipestone have all had close matches. An amusing umpire was encountered in one of these matches, a Presbyterian minister who gave the batsman guard thus, “ A little more to the North! ” A peculiar question was raised in the match between Grenfell and the N.W.M.P., when a batsman was very nearly caught off the roller. Would he have been out ? According to James Lillywhite’s notes on the rules, a feature unhappily to our mind omitted in late annuals, yes. Winnipeg, who by the nature of circum­ stances should be the M.O.C. of North- Western Canada, have somewhat failed in their mission. Twice now, in ’89 and the present year, they have failed at literally the eleventh hour in fulfilling their projected Western trip, a tour that could not fail to give an impetus to Western Cricket. For the first time this year they have had the advan­ tage of a professional bowler and coach, Thomas Clarke, of Notts, recommended by Shaw and Shrewsbury, who, we hear, has given every satisfaction. They are a strong club both as regards members and friends, and they undoubtedly have a magnificent opportunity of making cricket history in the North-West. Portage-la-Prairie so far is the only club that has lowered the Winnipeg’s colours this season, and this on their own ground, which means no small difference in this country. For tho Winnipeg club, at present, is the only club that can boast a really excellent wicket, and hence, when they depart to prairie pitches they are somewhat at a discount. A decided improvement, however, is to be marked in the wickets we get now even in the Far-West. The ground at the barracks in Regina, thanks to the enthusiasm of the Commissioner and his men, has improved tremendously, Can­ nington Manor C.C. are laying a new ground, and we hope shortly after the big harvest we are going to have in ’91 to hear of further departures in the same direction. Finally, all North-Western cricketers are looking forward to the advent of “ the Old Buffer ” to their territory, and he is sure of a hearty welcome, though one cannot help regretting that English cricket is to lose him. Henceforth you should look to an immeasur­ ably superior correspondent in the “ Far-West’* thaii your humble servant, M onedula .
