S trangely enough, considering the friendship which existed between H. J. H. Scott, the captain of the Fifth Australian team, and his trusty hench­ man, G. J. Bonnor, during their stay in this country after the conclusion of the tour of 1886, a recent number of the Australasian devotes two following para­ graphs to information concerning their respective doings. The second repro­ duces an announcement ft om the Oympie Times that Mr. Scott is practising his profession as a doctor at Cordillera, in New South Wales, He is also, according to the same authority, a Justice of the Peace there. Captain Scott’s English friends, and they may fairly be said to include everyone who came in any way into contact with him during his residence here in 1886 and 1887, will not only be pleased to hear that he is pros­ pering at the present time, but, in addi­ tion, will wish him a continuous increase of prosperity and happiness in the future. T he news that Mr. E. E. Yerburgh has resigned the captaincy and secretary­ ship of the Richmond Club will be heard with general regret by the large number of cricketers who have had an opportunity of judging of his unceasing zeal and devotion to the interests of the club, and the hard and good work he has done for it during the ten years he has occupied the dual office. Ho one who has not had actual experience of the responsibility and anxiety incidental to the management of an organisation with such an extensive programme as that carried out every year by the Richmond Club can appreciate at its real value the time and labour necessary to do justice to the position Mr.Yerburghis vacating. That he did full justice to it, no one knows better than the writer of “ Pavilion Gossip,” and no one perhaps is better entitled,by virtue of long and active experience of his work to bear witness to the loyal service the retiring Secretary has rendered to cricket. T h ere is a soul, it is said, of goodness in all things evil, though, and the severity of the loss the Richmond Club will suffer by Mr. Yerburgh’s resignation will be mitigated to some extent by the fact that his successor is a thoroughly well-known cricketer, one who possesses NEXT ISSUE, OCTOBER 81.
