A u diw ’s Hill k90dqn, E.C, LANCASHIRE COUNTY CLUB. The annual meeting of the Lancashire County and Manchester Cricket Club was held on Jan. 29, at the Albion Hotel, Manchester. Mr. A. B. Rowley, one of the vice-presidents, was in the chair, and 162 members were present. Mr. Swire first read the minutes of last year’s meetings, which were confirmed. Messrs. A. Hillkirk and J. Cowie were then appointed scrutineers, and the chairman next called upon the hon. secretary and hon. treas­ urer to read their report and balance sheet. In the report the committee called atten­ tion to the excellent work done on behalf of Lancashire in the cricket field during last season, and said the numerical strength of the club continued to receive considerable aug­ mentation. During the year 215 new members were admitted, the resignations numbered about 50, and there were now 1,792 annual and 60 life members. In addition to that 336 ladies had taken subscribers’ tickets. In the season 106,000 persons paid for admission at the gates. Financially the club was in a prosperous condition, there being a balance in hand of £1,431. The chairman, alluding to the ^reat disad­ vantage that the club had sustained by the absence of the wicket-keeper, said • it was a matter of such importance, as was well known to the members present, that anv further com­ ment on his part was useless. He then pro­ ceeded to the disqualification of Crossland, which, he said, was brought about by a side issue. Whether he would be permanently disqualified or not was a matter which would certainly come up again. But, however, it would be well for the members of the Maryle- bone Club to alter the residential qualification. With regard to fair bowling, Crossland, in his opinion, was one of the fairest fast bowlers that he had ever seen. It was an absurd thing that after playing for the Lancashire County some eight or nine years, he (Cross- land) should be debarred from again aiding them simply because he had found it necessary to remove his residence. There were several members on the Marylebone Committee who were incapable of judging between bowling and throwing, and such rnen, he said, ought not to be allowed to occupy the position they do. They (the Committee) had got over their past grievances, and once more, as of yore, would meet Notts and Kent during the com­ ing season. There would also be three Aus­ tralian matches at Old Trafford, and whatever some people might say with regard to money­ making, as they termed it, he should look to these matches with keen interest. Mr. Swire also made a few observations touching upon the disqualification of Cross­ land, and expressed regret that the club had been deprived of the services of their fast bowler, but hoped they would soon be able to fil the vacancy. They wanted a fast bowler, and they must have one. He afterwards pointed out several items in the way of altera­ tion, and hinted that a ladies’ pavilion, such as they have at Liverpool, would be a-boon to the fair sex. Mr. M‘Laren, the treasurer, then proceeded to explain the details of the Watson Benefit Fund, which were as follows:—Gate and stand receipts, £1,069 3s. 3d.; donations and subscriptions, £258 0s. 6d .; expenses, £225 12s. 8d. Total paid to Watson, £1,101 11s. Id. Some discussion took place with reference to the advisability of providing a gate for passengers who come by train. Mr. Taylor and Father Robinson spoke at some length in favour of the scheme, but, on the motion being put to the vote, it was thrown out. Sir Humphrey de Trafford was elected president for the ensuing year. The vice-presidents were re-elected. Mr. Swire and Mr. M‘Laren also retain their posts as hon. secretary and hon. treasurer respect­ ively. C AM B R IDG E U N IV E R S IT Y .
