Naturally there are one or two other considerations which enter in, but speaking generally this, I take it, is the broad principle. The M.C.C. at home will, it may almost be said, arrange a match practically with any club in the United Kingdom, pro­ vided that some responsible member will guarantee to get up the team and manage the match, and the club is only too pleased to send the usual three professors and an umpire. Of course, ability to send professionals, places the Madras Club a somewhat different footing, and again social questions must necessarily enter more into cricket out here than at home, but speaking generally I suppose it may be granted that the two clubs work on much the same principle in making fixtures to as much as possible encourage cricket, and foster local clubs. Take the case up here. If the Madras match was played a month later than it is fixed for where the place is full, and the local Gymkhana numbers among its subscribers men from all parts of India. It is quite possible, if not likely, that in a year or two, with Ooty developed as it will assuredly be, that there will at the same time be up here two or three men who play for Bombay, and two or three more from other parts, as good as any in India, and possibly a globe trotter or two of the class of Mr. Y. T. Hill, the Oxford and Somerset player. Apart from the cricket, which would probably be good, there would be no more “ local ” interest in the result of such a match than if the opposing teams were from Patiala or Bombay respectively. In the present instance it is now proposed, I believe, to play some three or four from Wellington, one or two who come up with Govern­ ment, and about half the side only from locals. It has now, I hear, been practically decided that the matches at Easter against the Madras C.C. and Coimbatore are to be run on much the same lines as they were last year, and that the team against the former at any rate is to be Gymkhana Club and Nilgiris, as against the proposal to make it a purely local side. As regards the Coimbatore match, I presume, a Gymkhana team will be placed in the field, which means that the visitors will have no possible chance of gauging what kind of an eleven they will have to oppose. Personally, and of course it is merely a private opinion, this decision seems to me unfortunate, as both matches must very materially lose what­ ever interest they would otherwise have had. The Madras C.C., as the cricket club of the Presidency, stands in a similar position to the M.C.C. at home, I take it, or at any rate that is the position the club desires to take up as much as possible in doing what it can to spread and foster cricket in the Presidency. Accord­ ingly any Mofussil club has but to express the wish to have a Madras C.C. sent against it to ensure the authorities at Chepauk (so far as, of course, lies in their PREMIER COMPETITION AT SYDNEY The following are the positions in the Senior and Second Grade competitions.
