The Grand Old Man of Cricket seems likely to be as prolific with his pen as he has been for many years in the matter of run-getting. It will interest C rick et readers to know that he is at present engaged in the preparation of a work which will deal with the game and its prinoipal exponents past and present. It will appear in the American Sporting MontUy, Outing, in instalments, and will when complete be reproduced in book form. I may add that Outing will be issued simultaneously in America, England and Australia, and I believe that Mr. W. G. Grace’s first chapter will be ready for an early number. Among the other contributors to Outing, I may add, will be Mr. W. Methven-Brownlee, whose genial and well written biography of Mr. W. G. Grace has proved to be such a happy hit. Y ork shire has always been fortunate in the possession of stumpers of skill as well as pluck, and the experience of the Sussex match at Brighton showed that in Thomas Pride they had a very useful reserve, capable of taking Hunter’s place, and with credit, should emergency arise. Pride, indeed, acquitted himself so credit­ ably last week on his first appearance for the county as to make it a subject of regret that he does not intend to follow cricket as a profession. Though his father was, I understand, a Scotchman, Pride was himself born in York, and has resided in that city all his life. He is studying at the present time at a Pres­ byterian College in Edinburgh, with a view to complete the course necessary to qualify as a schoolmaster.
