The last Australian team have reason to retain pleasant recollec­ tions of the kindly hospitality he extended to them on the occasion of the match played on his ground at Westbury. The ’incogniti and other clubs have been his guests at one time or other. Unless I am mistaken, Lohmann is a persona grata at Westbury, spending some time in the early part of the season there to assist in the cricket eduoation of Mr. Laverton’s son.

The abstraot andbrief chronicle of the time.— ________________________________ Hamlet, T he Morning Post of Monday is my authority for the statement that the Primrose League Demonstration to be held at Westbury, yesterday,was for the support of the candidature of Mr. W. H. Laverton for the Westbury Division of T he Hon. F. J. N. Thesiger, whose injury in the first half-hour of the Inter- University match deprived Oxford of a batsman who might have done them go>d service, had not been able to assist the eleven until the last of the trials at Lord’s. The reason is not difficult to find, as the honour list in the School of Jurisprudence at Oxford issued on Saturday will show. His labours, moreover, were fully recom­ pensed by the distinction of a place in the First Class. Another member of the Oxford Eleven, too, figured in the same list. Mr. W. D. Llewelyn was, however, lower down in the order in this instance than he usually is on the score cards. He was in fact, one of the ten forming the Fourth Class. Mr. Thesiger, I Deed hardly add, is son and heir of Lord Chelmsford. T he following extract from the Globe, of Tuesday last, appears to have been suggested by the first day of the recent Inter-University match— Overheard at Lord’s : “ It reminds me,” she said, sweetly, “ of the married life. First, theplay, the ball, the long ‘ hop,’ the drive for two, and thematch, then the loD g partnership, the attack anddefence, the scores, the hits, the calls, nna the cuts; then the man going out, the fast ball, the ‘ just a little too late ’ ; then the break, the separation, the Willow, and a’l is over.” To be a keen sportsman is not now-a-day a disqualification, as it may have been once, to the highest honours of the State. On the contrary, to be a good cricketer, or to be well-known as an admirer of cricket, seems to be something of a recommendation to judge by recent selections of the Government for the most highly coveted offices in England's depend­ encies. It would be difficult indeed to name two keener supporters of the game than Lords Harris and Wenlock, who represent Her Majesty in the respective Presidencies of Bombay and Madras. And now the Earl of Jersey, who holds his court at Sydney, as Governor of New South Wales, seems equally keen to keep himself in touch in the same way with the Colonists under his charge. The I Zingari, according to latest advices from Sydney last month, closed the season with a social match against the English Fleet, and to make up, I presume, for the presence of the Admiral (Lord C. Scott) on MANUFACTUREES OF CRICKET, TENNIS, CROQUET, &c. AND ALL IN & 0UT -E00R GAMES. FELTHAM ’S Excellent Cricket Bat.
