Cricket 1892

FEB. 25, 1892 CBICKET: A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. 23 privately the first evening, and then all went to a promenade concert, given in our honour, at the large hall in the market buildings. Before giving full details of this m atch, we must add a word about the ground, which is most delightfully situated in the m iddle of a wood, and the hills surrounding it make it a most picturesque spot. T he contrast between the climate here and Johannesburg is most striking, being only about thirty-two miles away. Pretoria is in a valley, and the heat is intense at times. Great preparations had been kindly made for our visit, and previous to the match our captain (Mr. W . W. Read) and secretary (Mr. E . Ash) had an audience with the President of the Republic, Paul Kruger, in the Parliamentary H ouse of Assembly—a very grand building, we might add. _____ N IN TH M A T C H -v . TW EN T Y -TW O OF P R E TO R IA . F irst D ay ’ s P lay . Though the appended will show that the cricket displayed by our friendly opponents was not of the best, the cordiality of our entertainers in general made up for any lacK of interest from a sporting point of view. A pleasing feature in this match was that ladies joined and sat down at the mid-day lunch, and, what with the twenty-two of Pretoria and our eleven, or, rather, our whole party, and, in addition to the above-mentioned, the reception committee, we mustered a goodly number in all—upwards of seventy. A local string band enlivened the proceedings during the afternoon, and a fashionable crowd, with a goodly number of spectators, witnessed the play throughout the day. It was disappointing to the spectators gen­ erally that a better stand had not been made by the twenty-two of Pretoria, but still, the wicket was very difficult to play on at first from the rain of the previous night. A n “ A t Home ” was given the same evening in the President Theatre in honour of the visit of the Englishmen, and was numerously attended, both by the visitors and local society P retoria T wenty - two .
