A PICTURESQUE SPOT.

By reason of its situation, the ground will' very easily be made into a really picturesque "King" of the city. Entering from Cranford street, the spectator passes through an imposing pair of iron gates and then follows tho drive across a small streamlet, tho banks of which wiil readily lend themselves to arboreal culture and beautification, as opportunity offers. Coming to the ground itself a splendid view of all play is presented by reason of tho special banks which will be extended as necessity arises. At present tho playing area affords abundant room for .it full-sized regulation playing ground, according to the English code —the only one so far available in Upon this it is intended that each Saturday there shall be played the principal senior iixture of the week, as well as, of course, such representative fixtures as may come along. Jn summer time the ground will also be in full use as a valuable new playing area of the city, as a reciprocal arrangement has been entered into with tho City and Suburban Cricket Association, by which tlio playing area will be both lengthened and widened, to afford room for threo good pitches. As the ground is high and dry, and well drained, these pitches should bo very good. When finally fixed un tho. playing area will be 163 yards by 97 yards.
