Many readers of C k ic k e t will hear with sincere regret of the death of M r. Harry Baily, for several years a prominent member of the “ .ZEolian ” and“ Civil Service” Clubs. Educated at Ardingly College, M r. Baily during his stay there received excellent coaching in the game, which proved of great advantage to him afterwards. For five consecutive years he was the best average batsman of the “ iEolians,” and for the “ Civil Service ” on many occasions he greatly distinguished himself. The esteem in which he was held, was strikingly shown by the large number of friends who assembled at his funeral, which took place at Forest Hill Cemetery, on the 25th October. He was only inhis twenty-eighth year. In my last budget of “ Gossip,’ while noting the fact that nine of this year’s Oxford University eleven would be available for next season, I in­ cidentally remarked that all were now in residence except Mr. O’Brien, who “ would be up for the summer term.” I stated this on the authority of a well- informed correspondent at Oxford, and in so far as the gentleman named was not then in residence the inform­ ation was correct. Mr. O’Brien in­ forms me, however, that though he will not be up long enough at Oxford to keep this term, he will still be in residence before its completion. He also intends to keep the spring as well as the summer term of next year, and I have much pleasure in correct­ ing a mistaken impression prevalent in some quarters. N e w s has just reached me from Australia of the death of a playerwho occupied a conspicuous position in the earliest days of Inter-Colonial cricket, TomMorres. He representedVictoria in 1856, in the first match between that Colony and South Wales, and in the same contest two years later was second scorer to the Old Rug, T. W . Wills, who scored 61, or four runs more in the two innings. An old Australian Cricketer's Guide of 1859 which I have in my possession des­ cribes him as a very superior bowler, as well as a very hard hitter, and ac­ cording to all accounts he seems to have been a good all-round cricketer. He was very much respected in all the cricketing circles in which he mixed, and from his unfailing good humour was known as “ Jovial Tom.” His death has given rise to sincere expressions of regret from the sporting press of Victoria. C r ic k e t e r s will be glad to hear that the “ Ganges,” with Mr. I. D. Walker and the demon bowler among the passengers, safely arrived at King George’s Sound on Tuesday week. The rest of the Fourth Aus­ tralian Team had reached Adelaide eight days previously, so that by this time they must all have got their land legs. As yet there has been no inti­ mation of any fixtures for them in the Colonies, although there have been rumours of their probable appearance in more than one district. I under­ stand that the English team will re­ turn to Adelaide in March to play a second match there, and the cricketers of South Australia are using every effort to arrange a match for the middle of next month between the Australian eleven and Shaw’s men. A fixture of such importance has not before been decided at Adelaide, and a well-informed correspondent in that capital writes me that those who have the management of cricket affairs there are willing to pay as much as a thousand pounds for the match in question.
