HOPES DASHED
NAPIER CRICKETERS ABANDON PRACTICES. PREPARING FOR COMIN SEASON Napier cricketers, anxious to lirnber up in preparation for the coming season; had hoped to commence prelimmary practice operations on Nelson Park on Saturday. Practice wickets will not be available for play ti 11 next Saturday at the earliest, but the players had intended assembling on the park tliis afternoon and having a few knocks with the bat on vacant places on tlie park. This morning's rain, however, dashed all such hopes, for the ground was too rain sodden to permit of play, and the "flannelled fools" of the poet liad to stay home. and spend the time lioping for hetter thiugs next Saturday. The superintendent of reserves, Mr C. Corner, is making active preparations for the opening of the season, and is making match and pyactice wickets ready with all speed. It is expected tliat the rain will freslien the grass in the outfield and so may prove something of a blessing in disguise.
