T h e Gentlemen of Canada, it is satis­ factory to know, will carry back with them to their homes thoroughly pleasing recollections of their visit to the mother country. They speak, indeed, in most gratifying terms of the hospitable recep­ tion they have met with everywhere from English cricketers. One of their chief objects in coming, unless I am wrong in my surmise, was to remove certain un­ pleasant reminiscences attaching to a previous tour of a somewhat mixed team of Canadian cricketers in England, and in this they have every reason to believe they have thoroughly succeeded. By their genial qualities and their thoroughly sportsmanlike behaviour they have, in­ deed, earned the respeot of English cricketers wherever they have gone, and it will be one of the most agreeable thoughts in connection with this trip that they have not only done much to increase the cordiality whioh has always marked the intercourse between the sport-loving folk of England and the Dominion, but certainly upheld, in every way, the repu­ tation of Canadian oricket. S om e of the team, among them the Captain, E. R. Ogden, and D. W . Saun­ ders, are already on their voyage home, and, indeed, the latter was off immediately after the completion of the match at Liverpool in the middle of last week. Several of those left are touring abroad in various parts, and the last of them will not leave this country until the end of the present month. Mr. Lindsey, the Secre­ tary of the Toronto Club, who has had the management of the tour, is confident that the tour will contribute very materially to the development of the game in Canada, and it is already in con­ templation to secure the services of English professionals for some of the principal clubs in the Dominion. T h e trip in another way, as far as I can learn, is sure to do good, I mean in bring­ ing the cricketers of the two Countries into closer relations. Mr. J. W . Hynes, the captain of the Trinity College (Dublin) eleven, is, I am told on the best authority, interesting himself greatly in the arrange­ ments for a trip next year and I believe it is certain as anythiiig can be at this distance of time that a team of Irish Amateurs will visit Canada in the fall of 1888. I hear, too, that some cricketers in the north of England have also asked Mr. Lindsey to furnish them with all par­ ticulars in view of a similar undertaking next season.
