The approaching visit of Prince Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji and his teamof English amateur cricketers is the all-absorbing topic of conversation in Philadelphia society and those of the fashionable set who have already got back from the shore and mountains. Judging from the meagre advices that have already come across the water, the Prince will bring the strongest team of amateurs that has ever visited the United States, and as the members of the team will all be college men and the social equals of the Prince, it is not surprising that elaborate plans are already being laid for their entertainment. It is expected the Englishmen will arrive in New York on Wednesday, Sep­ tember 20, and representatives of the Associated Cricket Clubs of Philadelphia, together with several members of the ’97 team, who met Banjitsinhji in England, will charter a tug and go down the river to meet the steamship “ Majestic.” The entire party will dine in New York, and go to Philadelphia in a private car. When the subject of the entertainment of the Prince during his stay in Phila­ delphia was first discussed, it was pro­ posed that the entire party should be taken to the Devon Inn, and there housed for the two weeks. It is now thought, however, that the Englishmen will be better able to get around if they make their headquarters in the city, and con- quently it has practically been decided that the Hotel Walton shall be the head­ quarters. During their stay in Philadelphia the Englishmen will play three matches, as follows:— September 22, 23, and 25, v. Colts of Philadelphia, at Elmwood. September 29 and 30 and October 2, v. Gentlemen of Philadelphia, at Haverford. October 6, 7, and 9, v. Gentlemen of Philadelphia, at Manheim. The second two matches are classed as test games, while in the first the English­ men will play against odds, the local team being composed of twenty-two youngsters under twenty-three years old. The visitors will probably be enter­ tained in turn by the clubs upon whose grounds they play, but no definite arrangements in this connection have yet been made. At Elmwood the Belmont cricketers are talking of inviting the Prince and his party to spend an evening at one of the club smokers, which will, of course, be an unusually elaborate affair. A proposal for a dance for the last night of the match has been enthusiastic­ ally received by the lady members of the associate organisation, who claim that in past affairs of the kind the Belmont cricketers have never yet given the ladies of West Philadelphia an opportunity of entertaining their foreign guests, and now that a real live prince is coming they do not propose to be slighted any longer. It is stated that a dinner will be given by the Merion Cricket Club in the new clubhouse at Haverford on one of the nights of the first test match, and it is likely the dinner will be followed by a dance in the club’s handsome ball-room. The Prince and his party will be invited to a reception and dance at the Devon Inn. The programme for Manheim has not yet been decided upon, but there will certainly be both a dinner and a dance. An entertainment at the House of the Philadelphia Cricket Club, at Wissa- hickon Heights, Chestnut Hill, is also among the probabilities. In fact, the Prince will be very well satisfied with the hospitality of Philadelphia cricketers by the time his stay draws to a close. GRANVILLE (Lee) v.
