T he following announcement will interest Metropolitan Cricketers, par­ ticularly those on the South side of the Thames. The bridegroom has been a conspicuous figure in Metropolitan Club cricket for years, and has done good service to Surrey in many ways. As a Rugby footballer he also earned Lis Surrey cap. The retention of pure amateurism too, in Rugby football, found in him one of its keenest workers. If I remember rightly he acted as one of the whips for the strictly amateur party, on the occasion of the memorable general meeting of the Rugby Union, when its supporters triumphed so unmistakably. TREGELLAS—REEVE—21st Dec., 1895, at St. George’s Church, Hanover Square, by the Rector, the Kev. David Anderson, Thomas Symons Treloar, second son of Thomas Tregellas, Esq., of Cromer House, Maeaulay-road, Clapham Common, 8.W., to Julia, second daughter of Charles Beeves, Esq., of Victoria-park, N.E, T h e appointment of Sir Augustus Law­ son Hemming, K.C.M.G , to be Governor and Commander-in-Chief of the Colony of British Guiana, in plac« of Sir Charles Camer,m Lees, retired, will have given the heartiest gratification to the hundreds who are proud to claim the friendship of the excellent sportsman who acted as Hon. Sec. of the Iricogniti for so many years. That the Incogs, should unite to do him hon >ur in anticipation of his departure irom England is only natural. The past and present members of the club are to entertain him at a farewell dinner at the Cafe Monico, o a the evening of February 20th. Sir W. Russell, who has succeeded him as Hon. Sec. of the Incogniti C.C., Col. A. H. Bircham, Messrs. C. E. Horner, and W. J. Seton are the Dinner Committee. A n o t h e r keen crickeler and fairly good player in his day has also secured well-earned promotion in another im­ portant sphere of public work. I refer to Mr. Mackenzie Dalzell Chalmers, who has j ust been appointed a lt-gal member of the Council of the Governor General of India. Commencing his career in the Bengal Civil Service, he returned to England to be called to the Bar, and subsequently did good service as Counsel to the Board of Trade, Judge of the Birmingham County School, and Com­ missioner of Assize. As a cricketer, my principal recollection of him was in con­ nection with the West Kent C.C. I t is positively refreshing to find that the trial ball of one’s early youth has not altogether ceased to be an article of faith in some minds. A recent communication from one of the English cricketers out at the Cape brought the dear old thing back again as fresh as ever. In a match played on the Cape Town ground just before Christmas, I take it between the Cape Town C.C. and one of the small clubs, Street, the Surrey player, bowled a man out the first ball. To the surprise of the outside he stayed at the wicket, and when asked the reason why replied he was not going as it was a trial ball. It was only after a lot of persuasion that he did retire, and even then very far from satis­ fied. I t will interest a number of Cricket readers to learn that the old Incog, A. R. Holdship, is working hard for the game in New Zealand as he always did at home. Besides showing up fairly well on the field, his judgment in administra­ tion appears to be fully appreciated. At least, he was appointed by the New Zealand Cricket Council with L. A. Cuff of Canterbury, and C. W. Rattray, of Otago, to act as a Committee to select a team to represent New Zealand against New South Wales. NEXT ISSUE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27th.
