COUNTY capability of the club to win matches. Officers were elected, Mr. W. Ansell being re-appointed honorary secretary. The following will show the receipts and expenses of the inter-county matches last year. Receipts. Expenditure. (out & home.) v. Cheshire v. Derbyshire ... d. 7 6 Lord Willoughby de Broke, the presi­ dent, presided at the annual meeting of the club held at the Colonnade Hotel, Birmingham, on Saturday evening. The balance sheet showed an income of £3,668 4s. lid ., and a balance in hand on the year’s working of £79 15s. 8d. The chairman moved the adoption of the report, and congratulated the members on the excellent financial position of the club, and also on the victories obtained. Warwickshire had attained a good position in the cricket world, and he trusted they would maintain it for many years. Their motto must be “ Forward ” until they won the county championship. The motion was seconded by Mr. G. H. Cartland, who referred to the improve­ ments which are being made at the ground for the convenience of members. They had practically erected a new pavilion side by side with the old one, and their accommodation was now as complete and efficient as that of any club in the country. They had nearly doubled the seating accommodation. He regretted that the benefit given to Shilton had not had the good effect desired, but by the generosity of members and others that player had been sent to South Africa. The prospects of the club were very bright and encouraging. The report was adopted, and votes of thanks were given to Lord Willoughby de Broke, who was re-elected president, and others. In acknowledging the vote the president said he had every confidence in the v. Gloucestershire................. v. Hampshire........................ v. Kent ............................... v.

The annual general meeting of this club was held on the4thinst., at Bramall-lane, Sheffield. Mr. Ellison presided. The accounts show a balance in favour of the club of £2,676 9s. 5d., almost £1,400 having been gained during the past season. The second team matches in 1895 resulted in a loss of about £40 each. In the report regret was expressed at the death of George Freeman, described as “ a distinguished ornament of the team, and to whom the county owed a large debt of gratitude.” The only subsequent business was the dealing with two alterations of the rules which had been proposed. The first, that the grant to the various county grounds whereon county cricket is played, be increased from ten per cent, to 20 per cent, of the receipts, was lost in a close vote, the necessary three-quarters majority just being missed. However, it transpired that owing to an informality in the vote it must be taken again, and this time Mr. Stokes amended his resolution, making the increase from ten to fifteen per cent., thus falling in with an amendment which had been proposed by Mr. Harrop, of Wakefield. The amendment was carried as a substantive resolution. Messrs. Wortley and Holmes were re-elected auditors. The question of further grants and subsidies to young players was thoroughly discussed, and a vote of thanks to the chairman brought the meeting to a close. Mr. J. S. Manning, captain of the Gloucester City C.C., died on Friday last. K. Burn carried his bat through the innings for Wellington v. Break of Day at Hobart, on February 18th. He scored 117 out of 209. Hugh Clemetson, for many years an active member of the Colveston C.C., died recently in South Africa. He was also a good Rugby footballer. C. Jones, iof South Australia, one of two fast bowlers of the coming Austra­ lian Team, scored 87 for South Adelaide v. North Adelaide, on February 1st.
