The following notes of the voyage of the team to Ceylon are from a diary kept by Walter Humphreys, the Sussex pro­ fessional. They appeared in the T im es o f C eylon . Sept. 21st—To day the English cricketers, with Mr. Stoddart as captain, started on their tour to Australia with the hearty congratu­ lations of a very large crowd of friends, w-ives, and relations. The shouting and hurrahs were something to remember. Surely there never was such a E en d -off from London, and again as the tender left the s.s. “ Ophir ’ in the Tilbury docks ; and justbefcra we weighed anchor the directors of the Orient Line, through Mr. C. E. Green, toasted the team in bumpers of champagne, to which Mr. Stoddart replied; and then we wero off on our long journey. The weather was not very fine, but we all reached PI >mouth io good health and spirits. Leaving Plym outh behind, however, we soon began to el the effects of the rolling, there being a good strong swell with heavy m ist and rain. W e ran 187 miles up to noon next day (Su.iday), which was again a very rainy day. The Church service at 11 o ’clock, I am sorry to say, was very birelv attended ; only three of our side being well enough to attend, namely Briggs, W ard, and Mr. Mac- Laren. We went on through the Bay of Bisoay in about t ie same manner, Humphreys, Brown, Lockw ood, and Mr. Ford all being very ill; but our captain, Mr. Stoddart, who is a good sailor, did all he could to cheer up the sick ones. Though those mentioned still remained seedy, more clem ent weather began to have an improving effect on Monday, the 24tb, and on Tuesday all were well enough to join in a sweepstake on the day’s run, which sweep was won by lucky Bob Peel. On the following Wednesday we made the B iy of Gibraltar; the weather being excsed- ingly fine and hot. Cricket comm enced this afternoon; Mr. Stoddart's side playing Mr, Gay’ s side, and the form er side won, after Eom e excitement, by two runs. Mr. Stoddart, Briggs, and Biohardson each bagged a brace of ducks. T o-day Peel again won the sw eep­ stake on the day’ s run The next day there was another cricket match between the same sides, but it was left unfinished, Capt. Ruthven having arranged for a fire and life saving drill to take place at 4 o’clock. On tho following day the next cricket match between the same sides resulted in each side scoring 22 runs. A fter dinner a most success ful concert was carried out for the benefit of the mercantile marine charities under the patronage of Lieut -Col. Sir Percy aud Lady Louise Fielding, which resulted in seven guineas being collected for the excellent object it was arranged to benefit. On Saturda. we entered the Bay of Naples, but the view was spoiled by heavy rain, thunder and lightning. Just before we left the ship, Mr. Philipson, who had come over­ land, joined us, looking exceedingly fit and well. Going down the Straits of Messina on Monday, Humphreys, lirow n, and Brockwell again indulged in a spell of mal de mer : but by Tuesday they were all as lively as kittens again, and a cricket match between Mr Stoddart and Mr. Gay’s sides resulted in a win for the latter by 4 ru n s; Mr. Gay’s side scoring 15 ar.d 24 and Mr. Stoddart's side 17 aud 18. Whist and deck billiards whiled away the rest of the time. The cricket next day was rather exciting. Mr. Stoddarl’s side beat Briggs’ side by one run only. Scores : Stoddart’s side 12 and 14 ; Briggs' side 22 and <3. Stoddart carried his bat through each of the innings for 10 runs— that being the stipulated number when to retire—thus ge'.ting 20 out of 26. Wednesday, October 3rd.—A ladies’ match — the first on board since we started—took place between Miss Godfrey’s side and Mr. Stoddart's—the gentlemen to use their left han^s only. The game was very interesting and afforded considerable amusement, Miss G odfrey’s team winning by 11 runs. Thursday M orning, October 4th.—After making good time we reached Port Said, where we a 1 went ashore to avoid the nuisance of coaling. We started again at 7 o’clock. Friday, October 5th.—W e stayed at Suez about half-an-hour for meals, and are off again. Saturday, October Gth.—In the evening a very enjoyable concert took place. Tuesday, Ootober 9th.—L ockw ood having taken a slight chill the-doctor had to see to him. During the day we played a few more games aud a cricket match— Stoddart’s v. F ord’s side—F ord’s winning by 8 runs. One innings each was only played—it was too hot to do more. W edneiday, October 10th.—The weather still very hot, although a strong wind makes us a little m ore com fortable. The cricket m atch to-day was between Lockw ood’s side —who is, I am glad to say, recovered—and Brockwell's side. Brockwell’s side won by 1 run after some excitem ent; Richardson, to m akeup forgettin g six ducks in succession, taking all 12 wickets for 0 runs. 1 hursday, October 11th.—Out on the Indian O cean; very calm , but a nasty swell. Heat very great. The cricket to day bstween Stoddart’s and Gray’s side resulted in Stod- dari’s side winning by 15 rune. Friday, 12th.— Weather still very warm. The cricket m itch to-day was between the Captain’s and the D octor’s sides, and was won by the Captain's side by 11 runs, Lockwood taking all 6 wickets for 9 runs. Smoking conceit in the evening, which was very successful. Saturday Morning, 13th.— The cricket match between Stoddart’s and G ay’s side resulted in a victory for Stoddart’s side by 30 runs—the m ost crushing defeat yet given to any side on board. A fancy dress dance in the evening very well attended, the cricketers appearing in their colours. Sunday, 14th.—The tea very calm. Weather very wrarm. A large steamer just now giving us a race, which created no little excitement. W o gradually forged ahead and left her be­ hind. The sunset was of a most brilliant description. Monday, 15th.—Bright and calm . Very warm—too warm to do anything. We arrive at Colombo early to-morrow morning. NOTTS COUNTY CLUB. The members of the above club m et on t ie County Ground on the 21st inst. to arrange fixtures for next season. It was unanimously decided to play Surrey, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Kent, Middlesex, G.oucestersbire, Sussex, and Derbyshire, the last-named being substituted fur Somerset. It was stated that out matches would be played if desired with Leicestershire and Warwickshire on the same terms as last year—viz , payment of expenses and propor­ tionate share of gate, and if Somerset agreed to similar term^ no doubt Notts would play them a match. W . G. D ruce will be captain of the Cambridge Eleven for 1895. F. M itchell is the Hon. Sec., and N. F. Druce Assistant Treasurer, of the Cambridge University O.C. for 181*5.
