The second m atch of the Natal Team was against Kimberley, played on the Kimberley Ground on Decem ber 31, and January 1. Spurway was unfortunately absent, so that Natal lest the services of one of its very best bats, as well as of its best bowler during the latter part of the game. Kim berley won by 54 runs. Madden and Kempis bowled well, as will be seen, for the losers, and Davey did a good performance in their second innings. Carrying his bat through, he made very nearly half the runs scored by his side from the bat. K im b e r l e y . First Innings. A. B. Tancred, c sub., b Kempia ........................63 E. H.

There would not be much trouble in inducing another team to visit India. W hen cricketers at hom e heard of the very cordial and hos­ pitable way in which his team had been treated in Calcutta, not one eleven but six would be ready to com e o u t; in fact, Calcutta would be overrun with English cricketers. % * C r ic k e t and Lawn Tennis Club Secre­ taries are rem inded that Monday, Feb. 3, is positively the last day on which form s for insertion in “ T h e C r ic k e t a n d L aw n T e n n is C l u b s ’ D ir e c t o r y ” can be received, and are requested to forward their form s at once to the Compiler, care of W right & Co., 41, St. Andrew’s H ill, D octors’ Commons, E .C .
