I n the absence of the chairm an (Lord H arris) M r. M . J . E llison , P resident of the Y orkshire C ounty C lub, presided, and there were also present M r. A . J . W ebbe and M r. P . M . T hornto n (M iddlesex), M r. C. W . A lcock and M r. J. S huter (Surrey), C apt. W . E . D enison, M r. W . H . C. Oates and M r. C. W . W rig h t (Notts), D r. W . G. Grace (Gloucestershire), M r.

H . H e atli (Staffordshire), M r. T. B urdett (Leicestershire), M r. H . W . B ain bridge (W a r­ w ickshire), M r. H . T hornber (Cheshire), and M r. C. P ig g (H ertfordshire). T he first proposition was by M r. G. M arsham (Kent), seconded by M r. M . P. B etts (Essex), “ T h at the C hairm an, H o n . Sec., and Treasurer be ex-officio m em bers of the C o un c il.” T his was lost, it being pointed out th a t such a resolution m ig h t give a great preponderance of v oting pow er to one C ounty. D r. W . G. Grace (Gloucestershire) proposed “ T hat all county m atches should comm ence at 12 noon on the first day, a nd on the second and th ird days p lay shall comm ence at 11 a m , a nd th a t this rule shall be strictly enforced.” T his w as seconded by the H on. W . M . Jervis (Derbyshire) and carried unanim ously. M r. A. I I . H e ath (Staffordshire) proposed, “ T hat arrangem ents shall be m ade on county cricket grounds to enable boundary h its to be ru n out.” I t was show n, though, th a t the suggestion was not generally practicable, and the proposition was lost. The C h a irm an then m oved “ T hat the a tten ­ tio n of the M .C.C.be called to the unsatisfactory state of L a w 24, and to recom m end th a t it shall be so altered as to secure th a t a batsm an shall be out ‘ If w ith any p a rt of his person, being in a straight lin e from w icket to w icket, he stop the ball, w hich in the opin ion of the um pire w ould have h it the w icket.’ ” A s th is was carried M r. A . J. W ebbe w ith ­ drew his proposal to alter rule 24, as follows, “ or should he w ilfully cross the w icket a nd defend it w ith his person.” D erbyshire, Leicestershire, Sussex, K ent, Som ersetshire,Staffordshire,Lancashire, Y o rk ­ shire, Cheshire, M iddlesex, a nd H ertfordshire were for M r. E llis o n ’s alteration; Surrey, W arw ickshire, and Essex a g ain st; N otts, Gloucestershire and H am pshire did not vote. I t was resolved th a t the suggestions passed should be forw arded to the M arylebone C lub. W A R W IC K S H IR E C O U N T Y C L U B . L ord W illo ug h b y de Broke, the P resident, presided at the ann ual m eeting of the m em bers of the above club, held at the C olonnade H otel, B irm in g h am , on Saturday last. The county m atches of last year resulted in a loss of 1*132 3s. 4d., exclusive of advertising; the tw o m ost attractive fixtures, N otts and Surrey, h a v ing been spoilt by the w et w eather. A considerable sum , ,£123 2s. 0d., was spent in m aterial a nd im provem ents at the ground, a bo w lin g green constructed, a nd the depressions caused by drainage operations raised. These item s, together w ith arrears of subscriptions, accounted to a large extent for the adverse balance. T he report was u n a n im o u s ^ adopted. A letter was read from M r. C. B . Hollins- w orth, St. Jam e s’s R oad, Edgbaston, in w hich th a t gentlem an offered to m ake one of fourteen contributors of M'25 each, or seven contributors of .£50, w ith the object of ex tin guish in g the debt on the club. The officers of the club were re-elected. C ertain alterations in the rules of the club, the princip al effect of w h ic h was th a t five m em bers of the com m ittee should retire ann u a lly and be eligible for re-election, were carried. T he annual dinner was heid in the Colonnade H otel in the evening. IN C O G N IT I. D u rin g the season of 18S7 the Incogs played 44 m atches, of w hich they w on 19, lost 10, and 9 were draw n.
