The Com­ mittee had, he said, endeavouredtosupply first-class matches, andmake the affair as attractive as possible, having due regard to the expense, but not making it a com­ mercial speculation. In this, its third season, they had established tho Week as one of the most important inthe country. According to his calculations, 11,480 peoplehadpaidthe shilling,andthis, added to the school boys andworkmenwhowere admitted at sixpence, and ticket holders, enabled himto estimate that about 13,500 had been present during the week. As there was a very considerable profit, it was suggested that a sum of money should be voted’ to the Central Cricket Ground Committee, for the improvement of the pitch and of the ground. The GroundCommittee hadnot come to them for any rent, and he thought it would be only an act of courtesy to award them £35. The balance-sheet with the vote of £35 was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks were passed to the firms who had provided the material for the grand stand and flags. It was re­ solved that theCommittee, with the addi­ tion of Mr. F. G. Harding, be a standing Committee,to carryoutthe arrangements, and a hearty vote of thankswas given to them for past services. A similar com­ pliment was paid to the Hon. Sec., Mr. W. Carless, to whose energy the success of the week is mainly due, and with a vote ofthanks to the chairman the meet­ ing ended.
