The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. T he annual dinner of the Incogniti Club will take place at the Criterion on Monday next. The occasion will be an interesting one, and the Incogs will be sure to muster in force, if only to wish God-speed to Mr. W. J. Ford, the well-known Middlesex cricketer, who leaves England three days later for New Zealand. Mr. Ford, who will preside at Monday’s social gathering, has accepted the Head Mastership of the College at Nelson, and sails on Thursday next to take charge of his new and respon- . sible position. His departure from Eng­ land will be a great loss not only to the Incogs, with whom he has been so long and actively identified, but to the cricket world generally. It has been a matter of regret to all lovers of the game that such a brilliant batsman has not had more opportunities, owing to his scholastic duties at Marlborough College, of display­ ing his truly extraordinary powers of hit­ ting in first-class matches. He is, without a doubt, if not quite the biggest, certainly the hardest hitter of the present day in England. New Zealand sport will be for­ tunate in enlisting the sympathies of such a keen cricketer. Every C ric k e t reader will wish Mr. Ford good luck and pros­ perity in his new sphere of action. I n all probability the first appearance of a section of the Australian Team in public will be at Godalming, on Saturday, m th e annual match between the Surrey Club and Ground and the Broadwater Club. On the occasion of the last visit of Austra­ lian cricketers to England H. F. Boyle and G. Alexander figured in the same fixture, opposingMr.M.W.Marshall’steam. This time, though, the Colonists will be seen in greater force, and I understand that five at least of them will take-part in Saturday’s game on the ground of the Broadwater Club. Bonnor, the giant, will be on the side of the Surrey Club, while the opposition it is said will include the Captain, H. J. H. Scott, W. Bruce, J. Mcllwraith and J. W. Trumble. The elevens, as the fol­ lowing names will show, will comprise a considerable amount of talent, and the cricket, therefore, should be interesting. Surrey C. and G.; Messrs. W. W. Bead, K. J. Key, F. Lazenby, M. P. Bowden, F. Hill, G. J. Bonnor, Diver, Abel, Wood, Lohmann and Bowley. Broadwater Club: Messrs. M. W. Marshall, W. D. Marshall, H. J. H. Scott, J. Mcllwraith, J. W. Trumble, W. Bruce, C. C. Clarke, M. C. Clarke, C. E. Cottrell, W. D. Bovill, and A. F. Somerset. I t is just possible, though, that some of the Australian team may take part in a practice game at Sheffield Park to morrow. Lord Sheffield, who has arranged a fixture in which most of the County players will take part, has invited two-
