That in each of the three classes an order of m erit be drawn up from the results of the season’s play in 1891 and future years, and that this order be determ ine 1 by the same m ethod as that by which the Cham pion­ ship of the first-class counties is at present decided, viz., by subtracting wins from losses and not counting drawn games. IV .

The same arrangement to apply to the lowest of the second-class and the highest of the third- class. V . That if a county be by these means reduced in class, it shall for the follow ing season be considered as the highest in the class to which it has descended, and shall follow the course of procedure set forth in IV . That, on the other hand, if a county, after playing as the highest of an inferior class shall have to remain in the same class it shall not be considered as the highest for the next season, unless it shall obtain such a position by virtue of its performances in that season, RICHM ON D CLUB .

The annual general meeting was held at the “ C row n ” H otel, Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Tuesday evening. T he report is fairly satis­ factory, showing that the home fixtures have m ore than paid their way, while the subscrip­ tions are over £10 in excess of 1889. In ac­ cordance with the decision of the County Cricket Council, placing N orthumberland among the m inor counties, negotiations are being carried on for fixtures with Durham , N ortham ptom hire, H erts, and the M.C.C. On the recomm endauon of the Comm ittee, and in recognition of his long and valuable services, Mr. John Thom son was elected a life m em ber of the Club. F rom Manchester we have received a copy of “ Cricket Celebrities of 1890 ” (John Hey* wood). This concise little work includes portraits and biographies of m ost of the leading county cricketers, and is quite up to date. In addition, it contains notices of the first-class and several of the m inor Counties, together with a summary of tlieir match results, &c; CRI CKET CH I RP S .

I t is proposed that Surrey should play Yorkshire at Sheffield on June 22 and two follow ing days, for H all’s benefit. M id d le s e x and Sussex will play each other next season. These Counties have not e n ­ countered each other for years. T h e Annual Dinner of the Adelphi Amateurs was held on Saturday evening last, at the Cassland H otel, V ictoria Park. In a match played at Colombo on October 21st, between the Australians and an eleven of Ceylon, Mr. Trott (52) was top scorer for the former. A d o n a t io n of .£100 has been voted by the M iddlesex County Club to the M .C.C. and Ground, in return for the use kindly granted them of Lord’s, T h e first Inter-colonial match in South Australia w ith the New South W ales A ssocia­ tion, will be played on the Adelaide Oval, on December 19, 20, and 22. A t the Lambeth Polytechnic, Clapham , on the 15th inst., Mr. W alter W estly presented the prizes for best batting, bowling, &c., to members of the Polytechnic C.C. P h illips , the Colonial bowler who has done such good service for the Marylebone Club during the last two seasons in England, has returned to Australia again for the season 1890-91. A n interesting match, England y. Scotland and Ireland, was played at Madras on Oct. 22 and 23, when the eleven representing the Old Country were easily the winners. F r o m South A frica we learn that the Johannesburg C.C. has declined the W estern Province Club’s invitation to join in a cricket tournam ent at Christmas. T h e first hundred of the South Australian season was made on Sept. 11, by W . H . G ill­ man, who scored 100 not out for St. Peter’s College against the Clare H igh School.
