A L o v e r o f C r ic k e t .— We have every intention of being represented on the occasion referred, but a verbatim report would require the sanc­ tion of the author. M .—Some of the numbers you require are out of print. There are a very few copies of Vol. I. bound left, price 7s. 6d. I n a match at Harrow between H. E. Crawley’s Twelve and T. Greatorex’s Twelve, each side scored 47. I n the Gloucestershire Colts match last week, in first innings of Twenty-two, J. Fox got three wickets with successive balls. B a r l o w , Bates, Morley, and Barnes arrived at Brindisi in the “ Nizam ” on Saturdaylast. They transferred to the “ Mongolia ” for Venice, and are expected in London to-day. W iiat next ? The Government Offices will be closed to-morrow afternoon—what does the reader think? The death of the O’Loghlen government ? or some other national event No, it is because of the cricket match, England v Victoria. Because twenty-two men intend to try which can better defend their upright pieces of stick against a ball thrown at them, ^all government business is to be suspended. It s a “ queer world,” as the lamented Mr. Deadeye used to say in “ Pinafore .”—Melbourne Punch. T h e members of the Castle Club gave an evening concert last Monday at the Steinway Hall, Portman Square. Among the artistes wrre Madame Florence Winn, Miss Julia Jones, and Messrs. Thurley Beale, Alfred Kenning- ham, and Arthur Thompson. The Hall was crowded, and a most enjoyable evening was spent. P r e s e n ta tio n t o M id w in te r . — A well deserved presentation was made on March 14, to W. E. Midwinter in recognition of the fine display of batting made by him in the match between the Hon. Ivo Bligh’s team and the Victorian Eleven. A number of admirers of sterling cricket resolved that Mr, Midwinter’s splendid play should be appropriately recognised, and a subscription list was opened, with the result that he was presented with a handsome gold watch valued at forty guineas. Mr. D. Scott acted as spokesman on the occasion, and said that the wish of the subscribers was thatthe years of Mr. Midwinter’s life might number as many as the runs he had scored in the last match 92—not out. The watch bore the follow­ ing inscription:—“ Presented by a few friends to Mr. \V. E. Midwinter, for his excellent score of 92 not out, for Victoria, in the match, England V. Victoria—March, 1883.” T he D erbyshire C o lt s ’ M atch .—The follow­ ing players have been selected to take part in the Colts’ match on Whit Monday and Tuesday at Derby :—The Eleven—Mr. J. M.
