The following copies of re s >lutions have been sent by the Sussex County Com­ mittee to each of the county clubs ; and will be laid before the representatives of county clubs, at the meeting of the County Council to be held at Lord’s, on Monday, December 10. I am instructed by my committee to forward the enclosed copy of resolutions which they purpose laying before the Cricket Council, and also before the meeting of representatives of counties, to be held as usual at Lord’s, in December next, and they will be glad if you will bring the same under the notice of your committee for their consideration. The atten­ tion of committees of county clubs was called to the first of these resolutions, by Sussex, as far back as 1886, but as notice had inadver­ tently been given of it as an “ Amendment,” it was not brought on for consideration of the meeting of representatives of counties at Lord’s, in December of that year, but at that meeting it was strongly pointed out by several delegates “ that the original object in view when rules were drawn up relative to county qualification was not to put obstacles in the way of any good cricketer from playing in county matches, but to render it impossible for anyone to play for two counties in the same year.” The rule as it stands now has undoubtedly had tbe effect of preventing several good cricketers from playing in county matches as follow s:—A player may have played for a county (and for that one only) for several years, and then remove to another county, he would, therefore, by the operation of the present rule, be prevented from playing in county matches for two years, if, as is fre­ quently the case, the county of his birth does not happen to be a cricketing county, or, if he were born out of England. My committee are of opinion that the resolutions they now submit will obviate this hardship and prove generally very beneficial.—Yours truly, G e o . G o ld s m ith , Secretary. Copies of Resolutions referred to above:— “ That any cricketer who shall have played for a county for a period of three years, under the residental qualification, shall be qualified to play for that county for any period or number of years he may choose (although he may have removed to and be then residing in another county) unless he break his qualification by playing for another county (for instance, the countv of his birth, or the county in which he may then reside).” If the above resolution is not accepted, then the following is proposed:—“ That duriug the two years a cricketer may be qualifying to.play for another county, under the residental qualification, he shall be allowed to play for the county for which he has previously been playing under that Rule.” Lord Harris will propose that the boundaries of the counties be not affected by the provisions of the newly formed Local Government Bill, but remain as at present. We understand the Cheshire Club has also given notice of a proposed alteration in the qualification for county players. The annual meeting of County Secre­ taries for the arrangement of the various programmes for 1889 will be held at Lord’s on the following day, December 11. ^EOLIANS CLUB.

CRICKET IN COLORADO. We have received through the courtesy of Mr. F. E. Kelly, who is now located in Colorado, the scores of two matches played by the Denver City Club. The first was a return with the Central City Star Club, and Denver won by an innings and 31 runs, scor­ ing 88 against totals of 22 and 35. G. M. King was the chief run-getter for the winners, while Kelly’s bowling was very successful, eleven wickets falling to his arm. The second match was a return with the Colorado Springs, and here the Denver cricketers had things all their own way, having 64 runs and an innings the best of it. Kelly’s bowling was again very effective. He was credited with thirteen of the eighteen Colorado wickets which fell to the bowlers. C entral C ity C l u b .
