New York and Boston cricketers will look forward with great interest to the match at Livingstone, Staten Island, on July 9th and 10th, between a representative team of Cricket Association of Massachusetts and a picked team of the Metropolitan District Cricket League.

Should our friends from Boston be able to bring a real representative team, the Metropolitan League players will have to put their best foot forward or they will undoubtedly be left. It is a pity that these inter-city matches could not be kept up as in the season of '92. They do much to spread interest in the game among the general public.
