Cricket: A W E E K L Y BECOSD OF THE GAME. 411 ST. ANDREW’S HILL, LONDON, E.C. SATURDAY, D E C EM B E R 2 7 th , 1890. She abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— ______ Hamlet, T he chief prizes at the disposal of the Government in the Indian administra­ tion bid fair to be monopolised by cricketers, if recent appointments are to be accepted as any indication. This time last year we were all congratulating Lord Harris on his selection to under­ take the responsible position of Governor of Bombay. It is with equal pleasure thatwe have latelyhad to chronicle another distinction of similar value conferred on a cricketer. I allude to the acceptance by Lord Wenlock of the Government of Madras. That two great Presidencies of the Indian empire should be under the control of keen cricketers, both of them, too, old Etonians, will give great satis­ faction to all sections of the Cricket community. As the Hon.B. Lawley, the new Governor of Madras has played a prominent part in Yorkshire cricket, and, if I mistake not, was not infrequently to be found in the elevens representing the Yorkshire Gentlemen. He has also, I believe, been an active member of I Z. Lord Wenlock only last May retired from the Committee of the Marylebone Club, having served for three years, after occupying the high office of president. An announcement in the Star of last week, that Mr. Percy Thornton has been selected as the Conservative candidate for the Clapham Division of Surrey at the next election—in place of the sitting member, Mr. J. S. Gilliatt,who is retiring from Parliament—will be of interest to C ricket readers, particularly to those in NEXT ISSUE, JANUARY 27.
