DANE JOHN I L LUM I NA T E D By Messrs. Paine & Sons, London, ON MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, # THURSDAY Some time since I mentioned that George Giffen had signified his intention of joining the Australian team which is to visit England next summer. Recent advices from those best qualified to judge the trend of affairs in Aus­ tralia furnish the pleasing intelligence, in addition, that Moses, the celebrated New South Wales cricketer, has also expressed his wish to accompany the party. His friends are anxious that he should form one of the combination. Business matters, I am assured, are likely to be the only obstacle. Still, though he is an active member of an im­ portant firm in Sydney, there should be little difficulty in the way of his making the trip. Negotiations are on foot for the team to go home via the United States, with the double object of playing a match or two as well as of visiting the Chicago Exhibition. As yet, how­ ever, nothing has been definitely settled. A g e n u in e tie match is not such a common occurrence as to be passed over without special notice. Scores where the totals are equal on only one innings do not come under tkis category, and to call such tie matches is a misnomer. But the genuine article was in evidence in the case of the fixture between M.C.C. and Ground and the Royal Engineers, on Chatham Lines, on Friday and Saturday last. M.C.C. and Ground scored 142 and 139, the Sappers 126 and 155, or an aggregate of 281 in each instance. Major Rawson, the last hope of the Engineers, went in with 20 to win. A happy thought occurred to the Marylebone CaDtain to put on a new bowler when the score was a tie, and the umpire settled the matter by giving the Major out, lbw, before he got a chance of making the winning run. T h e intelligence that Mr. James MacLaren, the Treasurer of the Lancashire County C.C., and father of the two amateurs who have identified themselves so prominently with Lancashire cricket after leaving Harrow, was sufficiently recovered from his long illness to be able to witness the first of the Middlesex match at Old Trafford last week, will give unmixed pleasure to cricketers in all parts of the country. In Rugby football, as well as cricket, Jimmy MacLaren is a persona grata far outside the confines of Lancashire. In his double capacity of ex-president of the Rugby Football Union, as well as the chan­ cellor of the Lancashire cricket exchequer, his figure is familiar in most parts of the kingdom.
