The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. THOMAS C. JENKIN, G en eral M a n a g e r . Is it not time that the Committee of tlie Marylebone Club, who are now the Hi^h Court of Appeal in all matters requiring st-ttlranent in County Cricket, should five sn official pronouncement as to what constitutes a residental qualification ? It in an open secret that giave doubts are cast on the pietensions of several amateurs who have recently been introduced into County cricket. Indeed, it would certainly be difficult, in more than one conspicuous instance, to satisfy those who know the pedigree of the players in question of tleir right to represent the Counties for which they are at present doing duty. I t would be easy enough, of courte, to give particulars, but this would be invidious. One would prefer to think that the requirements for a residential qualification are not thoroughly under­ stood, and that any irregularities fare rather of omission than of commission. To prevent misconception as much as possible, it will be well, perhaps, to give Rule III. of the Rules of County cricket, whichprovides for residentialqualifications as it stands. Here it is, that those who run may read: — “ A cricketer shall he qualified to play for any County in which he is residing and has residedfor the previous two years, or a cricketer may elect to play for the County in which his family home is, so long as it remains open to him as an occasional residence.” No one can, of course, seriously argue that the rule was meant, or can be con­ strued to mean anything but bona- fide residence. By no possible “ derange­ ment of epitaphs,” to quote Mrs. Mainprop, can the mere hire of a room or rooms with, at the best, a colourable imitation of residence, in some cases with­ out even that, be taken to be a residential qualification, at least one would suppose not “ within the meaning of the act.’’ Y e t his is what.is understood in many cises, if one is, as everyone, of court e, is anxious to do, to put the most chari' able construction on some interpretations of the
