NEWARK: CRICKET CLUB, 
This old New Jersey club, which was re-organized dur¬ 
ing the early part of the year, played eight matches dur¬ 
ing the season, of which, four were won and four were 
lost. This is a very fair showing, when it is taken into 
consideration that the club was composed of many 
members totally unacquainted with the game, and 
that it struggled on without a proper ground upon 
which to practice. Cricket, however, has met with 
such universal patronage in Newark, that the man¬ 
agers have leased a large tract of ground covering- 
thirty acres, near the junction of Johnson and Alpine 
avenues. In the centre of the plot, Jive acres have been 
levelled, a part of it sodded, and the remaining portion 
sown with grass seeds that are certaiu to procure a close 
velvety turf. The already goodly list of members insures 
the success of the club in every way, and the club intends 
having out next season a first-class professional from 
England. Appended is the season's summary of matches 
with batting awl bowling averages ;—

JoiffNEREY. the Strono Man.— The good people of Ber¬ 
lin are nightly besieging the dooi's of the Vaudeville 
Theatre to witness the wonderful performance of 
an athlete, Joignerey, whose feats surpass anything 
of the kind witnessed in modern times. Huge cannon 
halls are the merest feathery playthings in Joignerey's 
hands. His star exhibition is the ■' Horse and Rider” 
act, in which his ankles are fastened to a trapeze so that 
he swings head downward a few feet above the surface 
of the central stage, and in full view of every one in the 
house. A horse, covered with gay trappings and begirt 
with a broad leathern surcingle, to which two strong 
loops are attached, is then conveyed to the stage, and 
there mounted by a fuU-grown man. Joignerey seizes 
the loops in both hands, and by sheer muscular strength 
lifts the horse and rider some inches off the stage, sus¬ 
taining their combined weight in the air for several sec¬ 
onds, and letting thorn down again as slowly and evenly 
as he had raised them. Upon the occasion of his first 
performance, the horse selected for tho experiment was 
so panic-stricken by being lifted off its feet, that when 
it was lowered to the level of the platform its knees gave 
way under it, and the attendants had a great deal of 
trouble to make it stand up again. 
—Capt. Tkid Grandin, of Jamestown, N, Y., weighs 
246 pounds. Warren, Pa., is twenty-one miles distant 
from Jamestown. The road is very muddy. A bet was 
made that the Captain could not wade through the twen¬ 
ty-one miles of mud within eleven hours. He did it in 
seven hours and pocketed $100,

A SENSIBLE WOMAN. 
Editor Forest and Stream:— 
In my husband’s absence I found an unfinished com¬ 
munication (also new subscriber's name) for Forest and 
Stream. I had no intention of meddling with his papers 
until I read the last number of your interesting paper. I 
was so much pleased with the letters from sportsmen's 
-wives that I ventured to steal a march on him ; he will 
read my letter for the first time in Forest and Stream ; 
that is,"if you think it worthy a corner in your paper. As 
a sport loving sportsman’s wife I enjoy reading your val¬ 
uable paper very much. Old and pleasant memories are 
revived, of happy days spent with my brother in hunt¬ 
ing and fishing in some of the wild and picturesque parts 
of Canada, where my taste for rod and gun were first 
cultivated. Much hits been said about tme and good 
wives entering fully into the joys and sympathies of their 
husbands. I admit there is something to be said on the 
other side of the question. The true husbands realize 
that their wives also are capable of enjoying change of 
scenery and recreations in many forms, and confer a 
blessing on their debilitated "constitution by frequently 
indulging them in whatever enjoyment or recreation they 
may choose. 
Some sportsmen say that camp life and field sport is 
not suitable for ladies; that archery, croquet, or some 
simple lawn game is better and more suitable for the 
weaker sex. Such lords of creation belong to the small- 
souled class. 
I remember, on one occasion, of my arrival being the 
means of driving off half a dozen sportsmen (all married 
men) from a bottom where snipe shooting was good: one 
retreated a few rods and sat down on a railroad track, 
After watching us shoot for a short time, he said, “ Well, 
that beats all, I never saw a lady shoot before,” He saun¬ 
tered off after his companions on a three m ile tramp to an¬ 
other bottom. I was at a Joss to know whether it was 
gallantry or cowardice which prompted them to leave. 
However, my husband and I were left alone in our glory. 
The ground was marshy, but I was well protected with 
high arctics. 
Whenever circumstances permit, I accompany my 
husband on his hunting trips. When game is scarce we 
drive out of town a short distance and practice shooting 
feather filled glass balls. My husband has a Parker’s 
double barrel breech-loader. I have a single barrel 
breech-loader. 
My husband, true sportsman like, prides himself on 
keeping the best dogs. He has at present only ten pups 
in his kennel; they are the cutest, plumpest little crea¬ 
tures I ever saw—all red Irish setters. I am cook for the 
canities, and tlieir silky coats and good condition is su f¬ 
ficient reward, and evidence that they are not improperly 
fed. 
I was pleased with Ruth's picture of her husband and 
club’s preparation and start for camp life, butit is a query 
to me how twenty sportsmen packed all their belongings 
pertaining tn camp life in one wagon. Myliusbandandtwo 
brother sportsmen took a three weeks’ limiting and fish¬ 
ing trip this fall. After their large covered wagon was 
packed with tent, stove, cooking utensils, buffalo robes, 
blankets, mess chest, fishing tackle, and everything com¬ 
plete for comfort and pleasure, (except Spratt's dog biscuit 
which was Overlooked in the excitement of getting 
started) there was no room to spare. 
Three sportsmen with three horses, three dogs, (each 
one the best) and three guns, started October 25th for 
Spirit Lake, 210 miles north. Never did three schoolboys 
with a half holiday at their disposal, go nutting with 
sweeter anticipated pleasure. None were disappointed. 
Their first camping ground of note was on the banks of 
Wall Lake, a charming little lake, said to be one of the 
best in Northern Iowa for pike and pickerel. They next 
stopped at Storm Lake, properly named ; its waves are 
high and never still, ils banks are low; surrounding 
prairies, level, and a beautiful-little town built down to 
the waters’ edge, with railroad facilities, make it a most 
desirable resort for sports. Sixty miles farther north 
they arrived at Soux Rapids and Grass Lake, one of the 
finest lakes for duck and goose shooting. Owing to the 
exceedingly mild weather duck shooting was not good. 
They next camped and remained one week at Oakoboji 
Lake, five miles west of Oakoboji. These lakes arc the 
best in the State for pike, pickerel, bass, perch, and buf¬ 
falo. My husband enjoyed In's trip so much that he in¬ 
tends taking his family over the same hunting and fish¬ 
ing grounds next fall. 
Assert the contrary as you may, there are but few, 
comparatively speaking, who understand the true art of 
enjoying the health restoring exercise of field sport and 
camp life. Our children inherit their parents’ love of 
hunting ; never are they happier or enjoy life more than 
when out with us in woodland or meadow. We all love, 
dearly love, nature ; landscape, forest, lake, and stream, 
possess for us such a power of enchantment. The en¬ 
chanting gypsy-like encampment in some sheltered nook 
on the banks of lake or stream, a way from the bustle of 
of life, with the enjoyment and companionship of our 
happy children, all help to make life purer and happier, 
and the time thus spent is naught hut pleasure so perfect 
in all its joys. Who would exchange such joys for a kid 
glove party? Not I, R, T. S. 
How to Manage Those Husbands,— Editor Forest 
and SI ream :—I am a reader of your paper, and Iani also 
a.n upholder of the sporting fraternity; that is, I mean 
shooting, which, of course, means that my husband is 
one of them. Many a time have I gone out in the cold 
and done the chores, and then got supper ready for him 
and his friends, and perhaps waited until nine or ten 
o’clock, always seeing that everything should be in pal¬ 
atable order, no matter at what minute lie should drop 
in; for I knew they would enjoy their supper with a 
sportsman’s appetite, and I have never thought of grum¬ 
bling. I knew he would not come reeling- home when 
he did come, as I have heard that husbands do some¬ 
times, 
Here lot me add that 1 love to read the sportsmen’s let¬ 
ters, but I think it is a shame that they should even men¬ 
tion the long necked bottle or the cheering pipe, even for 
the benefit of the coming generation. I should prefer 
Zona's dog under my bed or at my table to one of the 
smoking or drinking sportsmen, I aui not a pot-hunter, 
but have shot a bird off a tree, and with sufficient prac¬ 
tice I believe I could kill one flying. I mean to try some¬ 
time, and if I succeed 1 will tell you about it. T can 
load a gun and clean it, and know the whole mechanism 
of one as well as I do of my sewing machine. But of all 
tiie troubles I ever bad, it was to learn to draw a bow ; 
but I can do that know so well my husband praises me. 
I expect by another season to be able to try my skill with 
the. rest. 
I think Zona’s husband must be a very selfish man 
mine takes me to places of amusement, even in the hunt¬ 
ing, season. Perhaps a little advice would be of service 
to some of my sisters. There is nothing like knowing 
how to manage these husbands without letting then; 
know they are being managed. 
You have been wishing to make a visit to a particular 
-friend. Husband thinks we can hardly afford it tin's 
season : “ Times are rather hard, he has’nt the time to 
spare, and, of course, could not spare yott to go alone.' 
You write a letter to that friend, and accidently remark, 
“ How’s fishing ? ” In reply you receive such glowing ac¬ 
counts of the fishing interest in that county that they a t 
once put husband on his mettle! You can just assort 
here that if he goes you will go with him. Money is 
plenty, business is laid aside, and you take that, long 
wished for journey. Don't you enjoy it just as well as 
though you had never said fish? You have been wish¬ 
ing for a new bonnet or dress or some article of wearing 
apparel. Husband belongs to the club, of course; he 
gets an invitation to go to some city to shoot with an¬ 
other club. You mildly hint your desire to go, but you 
would like such aud such articles before you go. Ten to 
one there will be a way provided ; for if lie is a kindhus- 
band he will like to see his wife presentable. Of course 
if you make a practice of going with him it will be a lit¬ 
tle more expense ; he will not be able to go as much, and 
will be at home more ; another point gained. Not long 
since I went through with Ruth’s tribulations in the pack-
