In the Rector of Weybridge only a few who have followed the career of his father will be able to identify the excellent athlete who did such good service for Harrow School, both at cricket and at football, in the latter part of the sixties. The hopes of W. B, Money’s School career, too, were more than fulfilled subsequently at Cambridge University. When he entered the Church Surrey lost an all-round cricketer of exceptional promise, and, moreover, at a time when the County was sadly in want of capable recruits. A proof of his probable use to Surrey was furnished by his brilliant scores of 109 not out for the Gentlemen against the Players, and 134 for Cambridge Univer- sitj against Surrey, both at the Oval in 1870. As a lob bowler he was particu­ larly successful, and on one occasion for Godalming against the United South he took all ten wickets in the latter’s first innings. Until very recently he played for Oatlands Park, andwith a fair amount of success. He also represented Cam­ bridge in the Double Racquet match against Oxford in 1800. The latest advices from Australia give new hopes that Moses will, after all, be a very likely starter when the competition for places in the Australian team which is to visit England next year commences. Bruce, on last season’s form beyond a doubt the best batsman in the Colonies, is, I am informed on the best authority, particularly anxious to atone for his want of success here in 1886, and to prove that his recent performances in Australia represent his correct form. L ast week, in a reference to the ap­ proaching visit of the Australians, I had occasion to remark that the programme would be considerably reduced in com­ parison with those of previous tours. In addition to the three test matches, fixtures it is suggested shall be made with the Gentlemen, the Players, North of England, South of England, Lord Sheffield’s team, M.C.C. and Ground, and the two Universities. The card will be completed by the inclusion of fix­ tures with the leading Counties. Alto­ gether, according to present ideas, the schedule is likely to be male up of some thirty engagements. In the event of suitable arrangements on the other side, Mr. Victor Cohen, the Treasurer of the New South Wales Cricket Associa­ tion, who will personally conduct the party, hopes to play two matches with All America, at Chicago, and Philadel­ phia, respectively, on the way home. T he Kensington Club has finished the season with a very creditable record which only shows one reverse out of a long programme of some twentymatches. On the strength of the new and better ground they have just secured, the Ken- singtonians are making arrangements for a more ambitions programme for next summer. On their form of this year Kensington were well on a level with some of the very best of Metropolitan Clubs. In any case, whatever may be in store for them, one thing is certain, that it will be no fault of the moving spirit of the Club if its efforts are not attended by a greater measure of success in its new home. W. H. P atterson , the Captain of the Kent eleven, who recently contributed an article on the subject of Kent cricket to the LudgateMonthly, is, I am informed on good authority, preparing his recol­ lections of the game and its cliief exponents, with a view to their pro­ duction in book form presently. Though the exigencies of legal work have pre vented him playing asmuch as the public would have wished, still, his connection with the game, first at Harrow, sub­ sequently at Oxford University and still later in first-class matches, in con­ junction with his practical knowledge of all points of the game, should make his experiences not only readable and in­ teresting, but also of value, particularly to the young cricketer. G eorqe B rann is finishing, if he has not already finished, the season in the most brilliant style. His performances
