A meeting, convened by the Warwickshire Club, of representatives of the Counties of more recent growth, was held in the Pavilion at Lord’s on Saturday. Mr. H. Perkins, Secretary of the Marylebone Club, was in the chair, and Mr. C. W. Alcock, Secretary Surrey County Club, was present by invitation. Messrs. H. G. Tylecote (Herts), W. Ansell (Warwickshire), T. H. Vialls (Northamptonshire), andT. Redfern (Cheshire), were present, while letters were read from Norfolk, Essex, Leicestershire and Somersetshire. The object, as stated in the circular, was to secure a classification of the counties, and the following were the proposals emanating from the Warwickshire club. 1 —First-class counties should be limited in number* (This was thought desirable, as it was felt that no county could rightly claim the title of “ Champion’ unless it had met all the others in the first-class). 2 —That the weakest or some of the weakest first- class countie* should either change places with the best or some of the beat second-class, 01 jrfiould play thi m (in say September) to decide the right to the title for the next year. 3 —That the M.C.C. should be asked to decide which are the weakest and best of each class respectively. 4 —It was alsothought that each first-olasa oounty might be asked to include in its fixtures, out and home matches, with at least one of the second-class every year. After a long discussion the following resolution, proposed by Mr. Tylecote, seconded by Mr. Ansell, was carried:— “ That in the opinion of this meeting the older counties should encourage the growth of cricket in the younger counties by play­ ing home-and-home matches with one, at least, of them every year.
