The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. H e n d e r s o n , the young Surrey profes­ sional who has been engaged at Bombay coaching the Parsees, left that city on the 16th April in the “ Assam,” getting a week’s start of the Indian players. In a letter dated April 9, he states that the team were improving in their cricket every day. The best all-round man, in his opinion, is A. C. Major. The best bat is a youngster named Morenas, who, teste Henderson, plays in very good style. He cuts and hits well all round, and can also bowl (medium) fairly well. They have a very good fast trundler, who is undoubtedly the best bowler in the team, of the name of Muncherjee Framjee, not Muncherjee, as was stated in last week’s “ Gossip.” r I am glad to notice from the card of the Eastbourne Cricket Club, which has been kindly sent me by a resident in that town, that the tendency to include boys’ matches in Club programmes is on the increase. Fixtures of this kind have been encouraged of late years, both in Kent and Surrey, and at Blackheath, Bickley Park, and Leatherhead, junior cricketers have had a small share in the season’s en­ gagements. The Eastbourne Club is evidently determined to enter on its new policy in no half-hearted fashion. Between the 9th August and the 13th of September, the list includes no less than seven boys’ matches, so that the cricket of the future will, as it should, have the fullest attention in Eastbourne, at least. I should like to see a similar addition to every Club pro­ gramme. T h e Yorkshire County Eleven usually make their first appearance of the season at Lord’s, meeting M.C.C. &Ground in the early part of the Derby week. The visit of the Australian team, though, has caused that fixture to be abandoned this year,and Tom Emmett, the evergreen, and his merry men will spend the first days of the Epsom Summer meeting at the Oval, in friendly rivalry with Surrey. The York­ shire eleven, I am informed officially, will consist of W. Bates, T . Emmett, I. Grimshaw, L. Hall, G. P. Harrison, J Hunter, F. Lee, E. Peate, R. Peel, J. M. Preston, and G. IJlyett. I g a t h e r from a copy of the Bombay Gazette, sent me by an old friend in that City, that a dinner was to be given on April 17, to the Parsee Cricketers, on the occasion of their departure for England on the 23rd of last month. At the time of publication, some well - known Parsee citizens as well as members of the Ripon Club had promised to attend the dinner, which was to be given on Saturday, April 17, at Rigby House, Malabar Hill, placed at the disposal of the com­ mittee by its owner, Mr. Jalbhoy Ardasir Sett. Mr. Pherozesliak M. Mehta had
