Perkins thought it was right for him to notice an important subject in which all the county clubs were interested. He alluded to the question ol umpiring, which had caused increasing dissatisfaction for some years. The Australians had, during the last twTo or three visits, expressed disapproval of the umpires who officiated in important matches generally. In reply to a question of his, Mr. Boyle, the manager of the team, who was here in 1890, gave it as his opinion that the umpiring in the last tour had been worse than ever. He was bound to add, however, that Mr. Boyle had admitted that they had not suffered materially themselves, having, perhaps, as m any of these bad decisions in their favour as against them. The matter had assumed a serious aspect, and there was one of tw o alternatives, either that the M .C.C. would have to give up the w ork of distributing the um pires for the county matches, or that some modification of the system of nom ination should take place. It was essential that only men of known capacity and experience should be nom inated by the County clubs. It was not impsrative to appoint two, one good man would be pre­ ferable. It wras the interest of all that really capable men should officiate, and for this reason there was no objection to the nom ina­ tion of m ore than tw o really experienced men by any counties. There was little difficulty in the arrange­ m ent of the programme for 1891, and as will be seen the list is one of more than ordinary length. It was expected that English cricketers would have to welcom e another Parsee combination as well as the A ll America team, whose visit practically received the encouragement of the chief County Clubs last summer. Recent advices from Bombay inform us that the Parsees have given up the idea of sending a team to E ngland next year, so that the Americans will represent the only outside attraction. It was contem plated by Mr. Crowhurst, the manager of the American team, who was in E ngland last August, to arrange matches on behalf of the Americans with England, but the general feeling of the secretaries was that the strength of the com ing team should be proved before any attempt was made to conclude fixtures with a representative English team. T he most noticeable feature in the purely E nglish part of the programm e is the encouragement given to Somersetshire by the chief county clubs. Middlesex played the western shire last summer, but Kent, Surrey, Yorkshire,Gloucestershire,and Lancashire will next summer test the m erits of the eleven, which showed such good all round cricket, under Mr. H. T . H ew itt’s command, last year. Tw o fixtures between North and South have been arranged, the first at Lord’s, on May 11, for the benefit of a most deserving veteran, A . Rylott, the second to commence on June 29, the day of the Oxford and Cambridge, at Birmingham . It will be seen that Hall will have another match for his benefit, and Surrey will again form the attraction at S hef­ field. The two fixtures for the Canterbury W eek will be K ent v. Gloucestershire and K ent v. Surrey, and the Cheltenham W eek, which will begin on August 7, has been reserved by the Gloucestershire authorities for matches with Somersetshire and M iddle­ sex. The Scarborough Festival extends from August 24 to September 5, and Hastings Week is fixed for September 10 to 14. A match between I Zingari and Gentlemen of England, it will also be seen, is down for Mav 25 and following days at L ord’s. T he following was the card arranged:— MAY. 4—Kennington Oval, Surrey v.
