The opportunity was taken by the members of the Granville Club to present their*hon. see., R. F. Taylor, with a testimonial inrecognitiCft of the very able way in which he had carried out the duties of his office for the last six years. The Presentation of the testimonial, which took the form of a Tantalus spirit stand, and an illuminated address, with a j>air of silver candlesticks for Mrs. Taylor, was made by the President, in.the presence of a large number of members and friends. F . G. J. F o r d , who graduated as a smiter in the Repton,Cambridge University,ahd Middle­ sex elevens in turn, has, “ R.T.” writes, just lately been on the knock, in fact very much so for the Incogs. On the occasion of their recent visit to Oxford he performed, and *to a con­ siderable tune, against Christ Church, Mag­ dalen, and Trinity in succession, as the scores in C r ic k e t will show. Indeed, the left-handed trundler and batsman was in his merriest vein throughout the week, which he finished in sensational style with a brilliant score of 202 not out against Trinity. In this, to use “ R.T.’s” own expressive terms, ‘ ‘ he not only popped the ball into the boundaries but also into other further outlying districts, fully main? taining the reputation of the family for huge smiting after the style of his brother W- J. —the original Gentle Tapper.” "W ith such an abundance of county cricket of the best class, the collection of a really re­ presentative side of the Gentlemen of England has lately become increasingly difficult. The committee of the Marylebone Club ha,ve found this out to their cost, in their attempt to get together the full strength of the Gentlemen to oppose the Australians at Lord’s next Monday week. In the certainty of only being able to get a moderate eleven, it was a happy thought of the Marylebone secretary to suggest the substitution of a second match with M.C.C. and G. Like a good judge, too. Mr, V ictof Cohen, the manager of the Australian team, concluding that the sensational finish of the previous match would give bold advertisement to the return, has willingly acceded to the proposal. Hence the fixture at Lord’ s on June 12, 13, and 14 will be M.C.C. and G. v. Australians. F rom information I have received through the medium of a good friend, well versed in the administration of affairs cricketal in Holland, I am able to state that Mr. H. B. Hatt of Scarborough intends to personally conduct another team of English cricketers to the Netherlands during the course of the pre­ sent season. Mr- Hatt has already proved his ability in a similar capacity, so that there is no doubt abont the success of the tour. This time the programme will be of a slightly more ambitious character. It will consist of a series of matches against the stronger Dutch clubs, including two or more against All Holland. The leaders of Dutch cricket have
