The one hundred and seventh anniver­ sary meeting of M.C.C. was held at Lord’s yesterday. The annual report of the Committee, which is as follows, was adopted:— Your Committee report:— That in 1893, the club consisted of 3,941 members ; of whom 3,496 paid; 217 are life members, and 228 abroad. During the season 155 matches were played, of which 100 were won, 34 lost, and 2 1drawn. Sir Henry James, Mr. E. L. Bateman, Hon. Ivo Bligh, and Mr. J. Robertson-Walker retire by rotation from the committee. The Earl of Dartmouth, Captain J. St. J. Frederick, Mr. Edward Rutter, and Mr. John Shuter have been duly nominated, and have expressed their willingness to serve. The thanks of the Club are due to the Auditors, Mr. E. S. E. Hartopp, Mr. W. B. Heberden, and Mr. James R. Mellor, and the Committee recommend their re-appointment. Thanks are also due to Major P. L. Gordon for a Buffalo’s Head; to Captain H. B. Suther­ land for a complete set of the Badminton Library ; to Mr. Alfred Gwyther for a work on Crioket; to Mr. Alfred L. Ford for many Crioket engravings; and to Mr. Victor Cohen for a series of Australian photographs. The Hon. Alfred Lyttelton and Sir Edward Grey are the respective winners of the Gold and Silver Tennis prizes. The notice of the Committee has been drawn to the fact, that on big match days, many persons not entitled to the privileges of the Club, obtain admittance to the Pavilion, thereby causing considerable inconvenience and overcrowding. As it is quite impossible to effect any improvement in this directi- n without the cordial co-operation of the Members of the Club, the Committee trust that Members will assist them by showing their passes when required, in order to attain an object which it is hoped will be for the comfort and convenience of all. In accordance with the intimation, made to the Australasian Cricket Association, notice has been given that the meeting will be made special to oonsider the following alteration of Law 53 of Cricket. “ The side which goes in second, may be required to follow their innings, if they shall have scored 80 runs less than the other side.” Since that notice was issued, great differ­ ence of opinion has arisen upon the subject amongst leading cricketers, and the committee have come to the conclusion that it will be advisable in the interests of the game to postpone the question for further consideration during the ensuing year. Notioe has been given by Mr. Algernon Rutter, that he will propose the following: — “ That inasmuch as the Members have adopted the recommendation of the Committee that candidates elected after the 1st ofJanuary, 1894, shall not be entitled to any reserved seats for their friends, the Committee shall, without prejudice to the existing rules, have power to elect candidates, not exceeding 1,000, from the books in the order of priority.” The committee have carefully considered this resolution, and do not feel justified in re­ commending its adoption, being of opinion that in the interest of existing Members, it is not at present desirable. The Ground staff will consist of—Thomas Hearne, Farrands, Clayton, Rylott, G. G. Hearne, Wheeler, Sherwin, T. Mycroft, W. Hearn, Flowers, Barnes, Gunn, Hay, W. Atte­ well, Burton, Pickett, Davenport, Pentecost, Titchmarsh, Chatterton, J. E . West, Martin, Pougher, Rawlin, A. Hearne, Carlin, David­ son, Phillips, Riohardson, Whitehead, White­ side, Burns, Bean. Moorhouse, Needham, J. T. Hearne, Geeson, Board, Mead, Carpenter, Mee, Storer, Moss, T. Attewell, W. A. J. West, Baguley, Russell, Brown, and Butt. The feeling of those present was against the proposal of Mr. A. Rutter embodied in the report, and it was negatived. The recommendation submitted to M.C.C. by the captains of the nine leading Counties to accept averages made in matches between those Counties and Essex, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Warwick­ shire was approved, though we under­ stand it requires the formal approval of the new committee on Monday next. The consideration of the alteration of the rule relating to the follow-on was deferred. At the same time it was understood that the Committee would formulate a resolu­ tion on the subject to be brought forward somewhere about the middle of July. C R I C K E T A T O X F O R D U N I V E R ­ S IT Y . T H E S EN IO R S ’ MATCH . A fter three full days, this, the first of the trial matches of the season, was left undecided. The chief feature of the earlier stage of the game was the excellent batting of the old Harrovian, R . N. Bosw orth Smith. He was in for three hours and a half, during the first part of whioh, at all events, the wicket was slow, and certainly not in favour of the bats­ men. During all the innings, though, he played careful and correct cricket, and there was no mistake to spoil an excellent perform ­ ance. W arner, the old Rugbeian, and Case, the old Wykeham ist, made 105 out of 178 from the bat in the first innings of Field’s side. Both played capital crioket, W arner in particular. When Leveson-Gower’ s side went in a second time, Barlow, the H arrow captain of 1892, hit freely, and with useful help from Ransome and H igson, the total subsequently reached 227. In the fourth innings Field’s side had scored 43, with four batsmen out, when the matoh ended. M r . L eveson -G ower ’ s S ide . First Innings. Second Innings. F. A. G.
