The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. I t lias been reported, and on good authority I believe, tliat there was great doubt of Mr. W. E . Boiler being able to help the Surrey eleven this year. I am pleased, however, to be able to state that his services will be available again this summer, and every one will hope to see him in thoroughly good health, which he certainly was not in 1884. It is now tolerably certain that all those who played for Surrey last season will be again ready to do duty for the old county. At the same time every attention is being given to the development of likely talent among the young players, and we shall see what the test practice which is to begin at the Oval to day will produce in the way of Colts. A f ig u r e well known on tlie ground of the Melbourne Club, will be seen no more. “ Mid-on,” in the Melbourne Leader, pays the following tribute to the memory of Mr. L. Levy, who died suddenly on March 7. Mr. Levy was a much respected lover of the game, and spent a great portion of his spare time on the cricket ground. He was one of those rarely to be found supporters of cricket to whom a simple club match had equal attractions with an inter-colonial contest, and his loss will be severely felt by many who have at various times enjoyed the pleasure of his cheerful company while watching the game he loved so well. N ext week we shall in all probability receive details of the second match played at Sydney between the English team and a combined eleven of Aus­ tralia. The Englishmen, according to the last advices, had returned to Sydney from their country tour on Wednesday, March 11, and the greatest interest was centred in the fixture to be commenced on the Association Ground there on the following Satur­ day. Murdoch, it is stated, would be unable to leave Cootamundra in conse­ quence of pressure of law business, and business would also prevent Horan from playing. I see from the Adelaide Observer that seven members of the last Australian team had been chosen to play, to w it: Spofforth, Bannerman, Blackham, Bonnor, Giffen, M'Donnell, and Palmer. Garrett, Jones, Horan, and Trumble were to complete the eleven, though Horan’s place would have to be tilled by McShane, who with Evans formed the reserves. A r e p o s t which, at least in so far as it concerns one of the clubs named, is, I know, quite un­ authorised, has created some com­ motion in the cricket circles of Australia. I refer to the statement which seems to have been wired to the Colonial press that the Marylebone and Surrey Clubs have agreed 011 a joint action to prevent any member of the last Australian eleven from playing at Lord’s or the Oval in 1886.
