Cricket 1893

APRIL 13, 1892 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 59 CRICKET AT THE CAPE. WESTERN PROVINCE v. ALL COMERS. The Western Province had rather the worst of this match, played on its own ground on Saturday, March 11. The advantage gained by the All Comers was chiefly due to the excellent bowling of Mills, the Surrey professional, who is engaged at Cape Town. He took six of the Western Province wickets down at a cost of only 41 runs. A l l C omers . R.GiU.lbw, b Difford 0 H. Calder, c De Vil- liers, b Difford ... 15 Pte. Middleton, not P.

Glover, the President, who was in the ohair, expressed his gratification that the report of last season’s programme was so satisfactory, as he noticed that the club had scored nearly 10,000 runs, which he understood to be a reoord. Now that the old turf near the railway has been replaced with new the club possessed certainly the finest ground in the neighbourhood, and, a very extensive match card having been prepared, all that now was wanted for a suc­ cessful season was fine weather. A hearty vote of thanks was given Mr. E. Furze, the treasurer, for his servioes. The officers for the ensuing season were elected:—President, Richard A. Glover; vice- presidents, F. Hersee, A. Lindley, H. G. Smallman, H. R. Ferry, W. K. Henderson, A. G. Hubbrick, and W. Lund; captain, C. J. M. Godfrey; vice captains, J. Wilson, jun , and F. E. Lander; committee, W . Edwards, S. Ellis, A. S. Johnston, P. P. Lincoln, W. E. Poulsom, A. R. Layman, It. F. Taylor, and J. O. W ilson; treasurer, E. Furze; hon. seoretarv, Frank Glover; assistant secretary, B. F. Gordon. Hearty votes of thanks were passed to R. F . Taylor, the outgoing hon. sec., for his services rendered in the past, and also to the captain, W. Edwards. FOREST H ILL C.C. July 1.—'Forest Hill, v.
