LADY CRIOKETEBS.TUK divided skirt has, not unnaturally, given rise to divided opinions, and various modifications of ii have been shown at tho 4 Rational Dress Exhibition.' I am not in a position to say from personal inspection whether the said exhibition should be rightly styled rational or I irrational, as I hare not been to it, but I see 1 that a £10 prize has been gained by a lady’s cricketing dress, and I learn from a correspondence which has taken place in the Daily Sewt with reference to this dress that there bus for years been a ladies' cricket club in one of our southern countries, and that at one large school for girls cricket is more popular than lawn-tennis. i was before aware that the ladies of more than one of our well-known cricketing families were enthusinsts nt the game, hut did not know that it was played so extensively by ladies os the costume and correspondence referred to would seem to indicate. Perhaps the next titno Murdoch au«l his team come over here they will bring their wives and sisters, ami challenge our lady cricketers. The fear would be that the counter attraction would prove so strong that the gentlemen's matches would have very small attendances. Our cricketers seem to have profited by their recent visit to you, and several of them, notably Messrs. \V. \V. Read and C. T. Studd, have been playing better than ever since their return. Your professional, J. Hide, maintains tho excellent form he has been showing on behalf of Sussex, and seems likely E to materially help that county in assuming a better position than it has been able to do for several seasons.—London Correspondent of the S. A. Register.
