CRICKET BOOM IN ENGLAND.

(Received May 30, 11 p . m .) LONDON, May. 30. Warner, m an article in the Standard, says that the rivalry of the views of a section of tlie men for the Australian tuur has given English cricket a great • impetus. "Cricket is simply booming throughout the countryside," he declares. •"I do not remember when interest among players and spectator;/ was «o keen or play co fine Hobbs, W. Colley, J. W. Hearne* Hendren, Jvilner, and Mead are especially noteworthy. It is now clear that England will secure a very powerful batting and fielding side. The bowling is still doubtful, but the prospects are more promising-. Durston, the Middlesex giant, is proving a fast bowler—one of and best."
