THE FIELD 
[Saturday, 
STOKE NEWINGTON CRICKET CLUB. 
The general meeting for the election of officers of the 
nbovo club took place at the Manor Rooms, Stoke Newing- 
ton, on the 30th of Inst month, when wo were pleased to 
sec a good attendance of members. Mr. John Ellis being 
called to the chair, in alluding to the affairs of the club, 
stated he was pleased to say that, although the expenses 
during the last season had been very heavy, still there was 
a balance in the hands of the treasurer; likewise that the 
new members whose names were on the club-books for 
election, considerably outnumbered the secessions. After 
slightly adverting to the matches of the season, &c., the 
chairman concluded by calling on the Hon. Secretary, Mr. 
George Hnrker, jun., to read the report, after which tho 
officers resigned their functions into the hands of the 
meeting. 
Mr. Gardner then moved, and Mr. W. L. Lankcster 
seconded, that the same gentlemen be requested to take 
office for the ensuing season. 
steadily. Hardy also mado some good hits, bat altogether played 
rather wild. J. Arkcll, contrary to hi* usual custom, made nothing 
cither Innings, being once run out In the third over. Rhodes bowled 
very well indeed. On the North side, Dodd batted exceedingly well, 
as ulso did Thomson. II. Wilcox fielded very well, making two good 
catches. The game occupied two afternoons, viz., Wednesday, March 
27, and Saturday, April 1. The weather was fine, though rather cold 
at times. The Match was played on the Durham School Cricket 
Ground. * 
Cricketing at Bicester — It is, we understand, feared 
that the Bicester Cricket Club will be inactive during the 
forthcoming season, as the members are at present unable to 
procure the turf necessary for the purposes of the game. Wo 
hope, however, that the lovers of t ho sport will use their 
united efforts Jn order to obta.n the requisite ground. If 
this is done, success will, we tliiuk, be certain. In that event, 
llicy will again have tho plcasuro of witnessing this manly 
and noble game prosecuted with that vigour and energy 
which has hitherto been used in it.

The Hon. Secretary, after thanking the members for 
the kindness they had at all times evinced towards him, 
regretted that he was unable, again to accept office, not 
having sufficient time to attend to the duties of the same,

papers (page’s 108 and 270 of “The Field”), on the 
subject of entomology, und should feel very much obliged, 
could you particularise those flies which you consider merely 
ns variations of the sumo perennial insect. That is, could 
you give a list of the Lames by which the insect is known 
under its various changes, according to the months in which 
those variations occur. May I ask ulso, whether you con- 
sider that the same fly lives to undergo so many changes, or 
even mote than one change, or whether tho insects as they 
ate produced from the nymphte differ according to the time 
of year in which they are produced, though the eggs-lurvaj 
and nympha are materially the sumo. It seems contrary to

moro than otic change after it emerges from tho 
nympha. It is well known that flies of tho Older 
Netnopieru, and of tho genera, Boiitis and Ephemera, 
undergo a clmngo from tho first Mute in which 
they appear from tho pupa, (und in which they are, 
iih y ou wisely observe, misnamed duns), to a second state 
in which they are called spinners. But I don’t conceive 
that they ever undergo a second transmulution, as the fe- 
male spinner then lays her eggs, and it )s a general law 
amongst all ephemeral und lepidopterous insects, that they 
attain to tluir greatest perfection just bcfuio lay ing their 
eggs, and that after (hat they languish und die. Now with 
respect to thFsccond consideiution, thut of tho insect coming 
from tho same egg, differing in its hui s according to the 
lime of year in which it emerges, it would lie more easy to 
uphold were it found iliat tho transition from the egg to 
the perfect insect, is a moro speedy operation than what it 
is at present supposed to lie. Now there are certain flies 
Of the family ephemcridee, take, for instance, the green 
drake, Which we well know oro distinct species, which 
only appear lit otto season of the year, and which are 
so dissimilar in size, as not easily to be mistaken for 
other insects'. We know thut the grey drake 
lays her eggs in May and .June, and that it is speedily 
hutched into a little grub cy lied a “ grig,” and y et, although 
this insect thus is brought into life at tire beginning of the 
summer mouths, the perfect fly does not appear from the 
pupa till the following year, in May or June. Such also is 
tho case with all other well known and distinct species of 
flics, such as the grannom, the silver horns, See., &c. It 
would seem, therefore, arguing by analogy, that it is moro 
probable that there are a great many insects of the same 
order, family, and genus, which ore very nearly allied in 
size, yet differ in colour, and appear at different times of 
the year. With respect to some sorts of British moths, 
with which I ant better acquainted than with flies, this is 
certainly the caso ; and I was much surprised only quite 
lately, on a warm night in February, by seeing a great 
quantity of moths which I thought were only to be found in 
August ; but which, on closer inspection, I found to bo a dis- 
tinct species, though most closely allied. 1 hope you will excuse 
the unnecessary length of this letter, but 1 am only writing 
it to obtain information. Your observations with respect to 
- aspect l_ 
tho manner in which pike seize their prey were most accu- 
rate. 1 also hud a very good opportunity of observing a pike 
taking my bait tho other day. I was trolling with a single 
treblo through the vent when a fish, of about three pounds 
weight, took it just across the shoulders, and remained (after 
he had moved uway with it) perfectly stationery : on striking, 
I missed it; but it came again, und the next time he took 
the bait just in the same way, but with the hook nearer his 
mouth, and ns he turned away I caught it. On opening 
his mouth I found tho tail of a lislt protruding from his 
gullet, which no doubt accounted for his taking it without ut- 
The above Club opened the season with a match between 
the Married and Single, on Monday lust, and, as will be seen 
by the above score, the married beut their more youthful op- 
ponents by CO runs. Tho day was unusually flue, and the 
playing very spirited. Tho Messrs. Ileadlam, and Captain 
Du w son, although on tho single side, kindly played for tho 
married men, in the unnvoidublo absence of tbreo of their

Ol course you have observed (though, perhaps, some of your 
leaders may not) Hint all fish ol prey swallow their vic- 
tims head downwards ; and that if tlie belly of a trout or pike 
is opened, they will find minnows, or other small fish, 
packed, luad and tail always in tho sumo position, with 
most mathematical precision. Willi respect to but bolt, 
concerning which I ouco wrote to you formerly, and ob- 
tained some interesting information from different corre- 
spondents, I met n fisherman tho other day who had 
caught one on n line, weighing three pounds, his manner 
of fishing for them being with the tail of u small eel skinned 
and threaded, on a double hook. He catches them in the 
Idle, a small tributary of tho Trent, during most of the 
winter months, whou other cols tire dorinuut. I cannot 
account for this, as it is u peculiarly indolent and sluggish 
fish, nod I should have thought, more likely oven than tho 
eel, to bo torpid during the winter.— Yours, &c., X. V. Z.

mittee, the Prize Committee, and tlie Measuring Officers and 
the Stewards appointed. The company, after spending a most 
joyous oveuiug, crossed the Mersey to Liverpool at half-past

The Bekdan Gold Machine Company, which has 
been somewhat delayed for the purpose ut learning the oper-

which it would appear thut the company succeed to all Hie

country, and that those profits now amount to about thirty 
percent, upon the capital. It likewise seems that tho sale 
ot 130 machines, iu addition to those already disposed of, 
will pay 100 per cent, upon tlie capital. It is only a com- 
pany with such prospects that would think of coining befoi'O 
the public at this period. We are glad to find that Ucrduii’s
