Thoms writes me : Cricketers will regret to hear of the de­ cease on Saturday last of Mr. George Foster, the well-known and popular secretary of the Exmouth Cricket Club. It was due to his untiring exertions that cricket not only gained a local habitation and a name, but that for the past twenty years—with the assistance of his faithful henchman, Edwin Arnold—Exmouth has become one of the cricket centres of Devon, and the favoured resort of wandering clubs, on which picturesque ground the ‘ Incogs,’ ‘ Wisps,’ and other touring bands have made some startling records. Cricketers will come and go, but ’tis very certain that no more enthusiastic or harder worker in the cause of our national game will be found than the late Mr. George Foster, whose loss Ex­ mouth now deplores. As a proof of the universal interest taken in the struggle between Surrey and Notts last week, it will be enough topoint to the fact that on the third day as many as 110 telegrams asking for the score or the result of the match were received by the management at the Oval. So much concern, too, is shown just at the present time by the public in the doings of the elevens representing the chief counties, that the following table giving the results of the matches played by the different teams up to date will be instructive.
