D a f r t l f o t t The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlct, A l l being well the Parsee cricketers, now on their way to this country, should reach Plymouth on Tuesday next. By the time the next number of C ricket sees the light, they will, in all probability, be in London, and ready to commence pre­ paration for their engagements, the first o f which is at Lord’s on Thursday, the 27th inst. The names of the players coming are, I believe, as follow s:— Mr. Bomonjee Byramjee Baria. Mr. Sorabjee Bezonjee. Mr. Jamasjee Dadabhoy Pochkhana. Mr. Shapurjee Nussenvanjee Bhedwar. Dr. Dhunjeeshaw Heerjeebhoy Patell. Mr. Ardeshir Byramjee Patell. Mr. Ardeshir Rustomjee Libuwalla. Mr. Sorabjee Hormusjee Harwar. Mr. Pherozshaw Cursetjee Major. Mr. Ardeshir Cursetjee Major. Mr. Dadabhoy Dinshaw Dustoor. Mr. Burjorjee Pestonjee Balia. Mr. Muncherjee Pestonjee Banajee. Mr. Jal Merwanjee Morenas. Mr. Muncherjee Framjee. The team, as was stated in these columns some time ago, will put up, while in London, at the Glendower H otel at Kensington, and their practice will be taken at Chiswick Park, the use o f which ground has been very kindly granted by the Directors o f the Chiswick Park Co.

Our visitors are desirous of having a rest of a day or two in each week instead o f carry­ ing out their programme without a break, and an effort will be made to re-arrange their matches if it can be managed with a view to this end. B efore their departure for England, the Parsee cricketers were entertained most hospitably by more than one o f the Cricket
