Although we feel sorry for him, yet the old saying is “ He that has must lose.” A meeting was held by the Citizens of this town, for the purpose of organizing a game for the season. Mr. McLennaii took the chair at 8 p. m. A vote was taken and despite the eloquent address by Mr. Matthews, it was decided that Cricket should be the game for the sea- son. Dr. J. Orr opened his mouth and spake somewhat v.5 follows :--â€"" Gentle- men, being a white man myself, I am de~ cidedly in favor of cricket, and I think that Lacrosse is a game to be patronized only by a cross between Indians and Ne- groes, (applause) because the former are gOUd runners and the latter have thick skulls,” After this enthusiastic address a motion was brought before the meeting that the young Dr. be supplied with cru- quet and marbles.
