The abstract and brief chronicle of the time — ____________ __________________ HamUV* C r ic k e t readers will be interested to know that Eichard Daft’s Reminiscences will very shortly see what Mr. T. W . Russell recently called “ cold print.” / ndrew Lang, most genial o f cricket gossips, has already completed the pre­ paratory essay, which it goes without saying is delightful reading. The bulk of the work will speak for itself when the right time comes, which wi 1 be very shortly. At least, I hear on the best authority that the first instalment in serial form will in all probability make its appearance in about two months’ time, so that it should be well on in the autumn before the last chapter is reached. The illustrations for the volume are now en­ gaging Mr. Daft’s attention.

At the same time, I have only too good reason to fear that there is at least a substratum of truth in it. For obvious reasons it would be better, perhaps, not to disclose the identity of the cricketer in question. To ease certain susceptibilities, however, I may add that the South will not be the NEXT ISSUE MARCH 24
