We apologise for giving the following extracts from two Paris newspapers in the original French, hut any translation would completely spoil them. From Le Velo :— “ Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji devrait r6gner sur quelques millions d’Hindous. Les hasards de la politique ont fait que ce monarque in partibus a troquc le sc«ptre ancestral pour le bat de ses vain- queurs, dont ses prouesses devant les wickets firent les dAlices sur maints des plus illustres champs de cricket du Royaume-Uni en cette saison 1899. Le prince est l’heritier du fameux W. G. Grace, l’incomparable doctor cher a tous les coeurs britanniques, et d6s 1896 il avait battu le recorddu grand sportsman, Rien qu’en desmatches de premiere classe il avait atteint le chiffre de 2,780 runs, le record appartenait depuis 1871 a W. G. Grace par 2,738 runs, obtenus en 35 inn­ ings seulement. Aussi quelle ovation, quand A Portsmouth, l’autre jour, notre Hindou depassa les 3,000 ! ” From le Journal des Sports: — “ Le Dr. W. G. Grace, qui n’a pas encore abandonne la pratique du cricket, a et6, il y a quelques ann6es, l’heureux r6cipiendaire d’unebourse enor contenant la somme coquette de 100,000 francs, somme souscrite par ses admirateurs. Que vont faire les fervents du cricket pour le prince Ranjitsinhji ? Pourquoi le gouvemement anglais ne rendrait-il pas le tr6ne de ses peres a ce roi du cricket.” SCORES OF 200 OR MORE IN 1899 The following scores of two hundred or more hit during the season have come under our notice:— Abel, R., Surrey v.
