Cricket: A WEEKLY BEOOBD OF THE a AMU 41, ST. ANDREW’S HILL, LONDON, E.O. THURSDAY, MAY 19 th , 1887. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Samlet C rick e te rs will be glad to know that the committee of the Marylebone Club have given Walter Price, of Notts, the Whit Monday match of North v. South for his benefit. Price has done yeoman’s service for the M.C.C. for nineteen years, and has always conducted himself as a respectable and trustworthy cricketer. Everyone will hope that he may be favoured with fine weather, to render the match a success, the more so as through unforeseen circumstances, in the way of trade depression in his native town, his position has been far from cheery for some time past. The draw for the first round of the competition for the Sportsman Challenge Cup, under the auspices of the London and Suburban Cricket Association, is as follows:—Loughborough v. Phoenix Upper Clapton, Elm v. St. Mark’s, Balham v. Hanover United, Brockwell Park v. Wal- ham Green, Clarence v. Hornsey Vale, Kilburn v. Bees, Belmont v. West Croy- don, Dartmouth Park a bye. The first- named in each case has choice of ground, the last-named choice of date. The ties are to be played off on or before June 21 (Jubilee Day). I h ear that Mr. F. W. Hetherington, 834, Strand, is again arranging a series of matches to be played against the Hol­ landers in their own country during the first week of August. This will be the sixth annual visit of English amateur oricketers to our neighbours across the water. The credit of the introduction of the game in Holland is, I think, fairly due to Mr. Hetherington, who took out, five years ago, a party of personal friends, and educated the Dutch in the first lessons of our national pastime. It is pleasing to record that there are now about sixty cricket clubs in various parts of the ^ Netherlands. Each year, too, there are ’ 7 signs of considerable improvement in the play. Matches are, I understand, to be played in Rotterdam, Amsterdam, The Hague, and Harlem. Many who have participated in the week’s cricket declare it to be “ the most enjoyable outing they have ever had. Should there be a sufficiently strong party of players this year, arrangements will be made to play in other towns besides those mentioned. Individuals or clubs should apply to Mr. Hetherington, whose address is given above, for further particulars.
