Piper, Junr., contains portrait and biography of Mr. Or. G. Walker and Walter Sugg, and a vast amount of interesting information with regard to Derbyshire cricket. It is published at the “ Gazette” office, Full Street, Derby, and as the price is only twopence, it is likely to command a large sale. Two articles on cricket appear in the April number of the Badminton Magazine, published by Longman’s, Green & Co. Mr. W. J. Ford ably deals with the difficult subject of “ English Cricket on Australian Grounds,” and introduces two or three of his own experiences in England with good effect. The other article is upon Harrow cricket b y Mr. Horace Hutchinson, the well-known golfer. The follow ing are some of the latest hundreds:— Feb. 5.—C. J. Eady.Breako’Dayy.
