Cricket 1895

A p r il 25, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 87 MR. LUCAS’S TEAM IN THE WEST INDIES. Continued from Cricket of April 11th. After having our stay in Demerara cut short on account of the Dutch steamer by which we travelled from Trinidad being three days late, we left the former place on Thurs­ day, the 21st at eleven o’clock, per R.M.S. Dee, en route for Jamaica, via Barbados. On arrival at Barbados we were met by several old friends, among them being Mr. D. M. McCaulay, captainof the Barbados team, who invited us all to go and partake in a friendly game of lawn tennis that afternoon, an invita­ tion ofwhich most of usavailedourselves, while the rest visited the scene of our first encounters, the Pickwick Cricket Ground, to witness a cup-tie match which was being played there. In the evening, through the kindness and hospitality of Mrs. Da Costa, we had a most enjoyable dance at Dalkeith until the shades of Sunday compelled us to seek the walls of the Marine Hotel. On Sunday most of us indulged in a longed for rest, while some keen spirits went in a shark fishing expedition, the result of their labours being, I regret to say, the same as on the first occasion such an expedition went there, viz. nil. Monday found us packing up our traps again, and at 5p.m., we were on board R.M.S. Atrato, steaming towards Jamaica, a four days’ journey, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Among the passengers were Lord Lathom, and the ladies Edith and Maud Wilbraham, who are making a tour through the West Indies, and. were on their way to pay a visit to the Governor of Jamaica and Lady Blake. Friday morning, 29th, found us in Kings­ ton Harbour, where we were met by the entertainment committee, and proceeded to the Myrtle Bank Hotel, head-quarters during our stay in the island. We were very glad to find our old friends, the American Fleet (Rear-Admiral Meade), anchored here right opposite the hotel. The Squadron consisted of the New York, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, and Columbia. The latter a four-funnelled ship, described by one of our Yankee friends as, “ have you seen our four-spouter ?” On Saturday we started our first match, which ended on Monday in our victory by an innings and 96 runs. In the evening a very enjoyable smoking concert was given in our honour, several members of the Jamaica teamtaking part. On Sunday we were taken for a lively drive, through most charming scenery, to a place called Castleton Gardens, nineteen miles from Kingston, stopping on the way at Constant Springs Hotel for breakfast, and afterwards en route to pick gardenias, which grew wild likeioses.

CRICKET IN VENEZUELA . “ Knowing the keen interest you take in anything connected with sport,” writes a correspondent, “ I thought you might be in­ terested in the scores of the first cricket match played in Venezuela , March 18, 1894. The few Englishmen in the country have been trying for some time to infuse an interest in true sport into the Venezuelan mind, and were fortunate enough to enlist the support of Signor M. Santana, one of the first merchants of the country. After a hard struggle we have managed to get a club together of nearly thirty members—more than half of whom are Venezuelans. We had an ideal day for our match, and everything passed off in great style. At one o’clock we sat down to a splendid spread generously provided by Signor Santana. Of course we drank his health with musical honours, and when we struck up ‘ He’s a jolly good fellow,’ it was highly amusing to notice the look of amusement, not unmingled with alarm, on the faces of the Venezuelans. They couldn’t, of course, make head nor tail of it. We had all the best people in Caracas as onlookers, and they all seemed interested; in fact, we are greatly in hopes to make cricket a national game here.” Score:— S ignor M. S a n ta n a ’ s T eam .
