Only Address: FACTORY, ARTILLERY PLACE, WOOLWICH, S.E. the game proceeded smoothly. These remarks apply -with equal force to both sides, so no one need hug himself and assume an unctuous rectitude. The pitch wes good, but of the rest of the field, only a poet could sing with justice. There were trees ; one fielding point and mid- on ; another sqv.are-leg and m id-off; while a d other stood deep third man and long-on. The fielding of these trees could not be found fault with, not even with Lord Hawke. Would that [the players had followed these noble examples. Hartingsburg really won by six wickets, but the game was continued by mutual consent, until the untrained and un­ practised players were thoroughly exhausted. Unfortunately there are good reasons why the bowling analysis cannot be published. The scoring-book gives an unbroken succes­ sion of maiden overs. In fact there was not a single run scored, if our scorer’s record is to be received with credit. The public believes most things, so it might believe this. I leave the matter open. T EN TS!
