Cricket 1887

APRIL 21, 1887. CKICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 71 has undertaken the selection for each county match of such umpires as have no interest in the counties engaged, but it has never interfered with the right of nomination enjoyed by the counties. As regards the second, the number of drawn matches might be reduced, if by general consent among the counties play were to begin much earlier on the second and third days. We believe that these questions, and others of a similar nature that may arise are more likely to be satis­ factorily settled with than without the help of a council, and, therefore, we are satisfied that it would be desirable, subject to the limitations above mentioned, to form a County Cricket Council. The terms of reference do not admit of our taking further recommendations, but we take the liberty of suggesting that at the meeting to be held at Lord’s on the second morning of Gentlemen v. Players the county repre­ sentatives should be prepared to discuss and settle four points which are likely to be raised, viz.:— 1. Whether a county cricket council shall be formed, and, in the event of that being agreed to, 2. Whether each affiliated county shall send one or more than one representative. 8. What subscription will be necessary from each affiliated county to defray the expenses of such postage and clerical wTork as will be unavoidable. 4. The appointment of a sub-committee to frame bye-laws for the council. (Signed) H a rris. I. D. W a lk e r . J ohn S h u ter . M ontague T u rn er . W. G. G race . THE NOTTS COLTS’ MATCH.

I n another part of this paper will be found the announcement of the marriage of one of the best known athletes in London. We refer to that of Mr. N. C. Bailey, a prominent mem­ ber of the Streatham Cricket Club, but a still more prominent exponent of the Association game of football. This important event in Mr, Bailey’e life was duly recognised on Friday last, when over thirty of his most intimate friends in the cricket and football fields entertained him at dinner at the Criterion. The chair was ably filled by Mr. M. P. Betts, who was supported by Mr. G. F. Bambridge. The Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, “ The health of our guest, Mr. N. C. Bailey,” referred to that gentleman’s great popularity amongst cricketers and foot­ ballers, and mentioned that during the last ten years Mr. Bailey had taken part in forty- nine first-class football matches, including nineteen international matches for England. Mr. Betts concluded by wishing Mr. Bailey and his bride elect every possible happiness and prosperity, in which he knew he was joined, not only by those friends who were around him, but a large number of absent cricketers, as well as the great body of lovers of the game of football throughout the United Kingdom. Lateron in the eveningthe Chairmanhanded to Mr. Bailey a handsome souvenir in the shape of a combined pearl and diamond bracelet and brooch, asking him to convey the same to Miss Grierson from the general body of the supporters of the Association game throughout the country with their heartiest good wishes. Mr. Betts further explained that owing to the short time that had elapsed since the idea of presenting a wedding present wras first started it had been found impossible -to complete the arrangements. The committee of managementhoped, however tobe prepared topresentthe main portion of tho present, which was proposed to take the shape of a piano, on the bride and bridegroom’s return to town, when the subscribers trusted Mr. Bailey would give them the pleasure of meeting him. A most enjoyable evening was much enlivened by some splendidmusic kindly rendered by Messrs. Hirwen Jones, C. Hayes, E.C. Bambridge, G. F. Bambridge, and others TEDDINGTON v. MOLESEY.
