CRICKET.

London, June 2,

Sir F. Knollys has written a letter to Dr. W. G. Grace, by direction of the Prince of Wales, in which his Royal Highness says he has watched the veteran cricketer's fine scoring with much interest, and cannot allow such an instance of record batting to pass unnoticed without congratulating him upon his magnificent performance.

A London correspondent writes: — "I learn from a new. paper called the Lady Cyclist that wheeling is becomiug fashionable in smart society. The Princess of Wales and her daughters tricycle all about the grounds at Sandringham, though never outside their own gates. Other great ladies belonging to the cycling dubs are the Duchess of Sutherland, Portland, and Westminster, Lady Margaret Spencer, and the young Countess of Dudley. This Jady has a remarkably beautiful machine, enamelled white, and lined with blue and gold. The handles are real ivory. Lady de Grey is an enthusiastic cyclist, and Lady Jeune goes shopping in the country on her machine. Miss Mabel Besant can do a thirty-mile spin without turning a hair, and the Ishichess of Manchester and Lady George Hamilton are promising beginners. That this craze is expected to increase I gather from the fact that a new bicycle club, with covered and open tracks, will be opened next month at Fullham. It will be under the same management as the real ice rink at Niagara, and similar means are to be adopted to keep it select. Experts will be employed to give lessons, and a band will perform on Sunday afternoons. The •Sabbath Skate,' from three to six, at Niagara, on Sundays, is invariably crammed, despite the five shillings charged per head."
