The player may soine- times aise go in at a good ball by taking a rapid stride out of hes ground, and thon lunging forward in the way I have mentioned; this may bo safoly done whero there is no wicket keeper, but only a bastard sort of one, as is so generally the fashion in this country; great care, however, is required that you don't miss the ball or get before your wicket. 1 I have now gone through the various kinds of playing or hitting, and given the essentiels for making a finisied batsman. nly abject is ta get Canadians to study the game more care- fully and try tô play correctly. Thera is plenty of stuff in the country fo'r making good cricketers, but it wants working up.. Unfortvately thore are no professionals or persans ta teacli ; much, however, may ba learned by each individual himself ; and if these " hints' will tend to assist any one in his endeavours, it will, I assure you, give the greatest pleasure and satisfaction ta Yours truly, W.
