Ward,Harrow Captain of 1882, J. A. Turner, last year’s Uppingham Captain, E .P . Spurway, of Charterhouse, and C. W . Dale, of West­ minster. Bainbridge played a faultless innings of 97, not giving a chance till his last ball, when he was caught at short slip.

Half an hour, morning and evening, is quite long enough ; if more is indulged in, the bats­ man gets tired and becomes necessarily careless, and this ought always to be avoided. It is very easy after having your batting to have a turn at wicket keeping or in the field ; either will im­ prove your batting, for it makes the hand and eye work in perfect unison, and will also improve you in fielding, a department of the game almost entirely overlooked by cricketers whilst prac­ tising. Never treat bowling lightly, and, no matter how bad it may be, always play the strict game and play every ball in the same way as if it had been delivered by the best bowler of the day.—- Longman's Magazine, for January.
