An escort of Bengal Cavalry accompanied the party on an excursion of especial interest,and one the incidents of which are not likely to be forgotten by any member of the party. Anyhow, it was a picturesque close to a very enjoyable tour. On the return from this visit the team dispersed to make their way home as they thought fit. Mr. and Mrs. Vernon, Messrs. Jackson, Maclean, H. F. Wright, and Foljambe left on their re­ turn journey in advance of Messrs. Robert­ son, Hornsby, and C. W.Wright. Lord Hawke, Messrs. Heseltine, Hill, and Leatbam are re­ maining in India with the object of getting some shooting in Nepaul. On the whole the tour was a success from a cricket standpoint as it was socially. Of 23 matches 15 were won, 8 of them by more than an inniDgs. In onlytwo instances were the team defeated. The Parsees, who lost the return by 7 runs, won the first match by 109 runs. The other reverse was at the hands of the Behar Wanderers at Mozufferpore. On that occasion, however, A. E. Gibson played for the Wanderers, and to his all-round cricket their success was mainly due. The highest collective score was 483 in the last match at Peshawur, the lowest 61 against Agra. Two individual scores of over a hundred were made during the tour. The first was 109 by F. S. Jackson against the Up-Country Clubs at Colombo on the way out, the second 132 by A. J. L. Hill against All India at Allahabad. Hill’ s all-round cricket was the most note­ worthy feature of the tour. In addition to the highest batting average, he had the double distinction of best aggregate and individual score. In. addition he had an exceptionally good bowling analysis. His 77 wickets were obtained at a oost of less than seven runs apiece, The following will show the results of the various matches;— Matches played 23 —Won 15, lo3t 2, drawn 6. lst Match, at Colombo,- v.
