The W eek begins on Thursday next, September 6th, with a match between N orth and South, while Surrey and Sussex v. Rest of England follows on M ond ay, September 10th. A s w ill be seen from the accompanying lists, the sides w ill be even stronger than they usually are at H astings, which is saying a good deal, and given fine weather, the balance-sheet of the Week this year ought to be exceedingly favour­ able. The sides are as follow s:— NORTH T. 80TJTH. N o r t h .— Mr. A . C. MacLaren (Lancashire), Lord Hawke (Yorkshire), Mr. A. O. Jones (Notts), J. T. Brown, sen. (Yorkshire^, Cuttell (Lancashire). Denton (Yorkshire), J. Gunn (Notts), Hirst (Yorkshire), Lilley (Warwickshire), Rhodes (Yorkshire) and Tyldesley (Lancashire). S o u t h (selected from).—Dr. W . G. Grace (London County), Mr. C. B.

Stout “ Tourist,” who has been j ut on to bow l for the second time in his life, has been throw ing occasionally, and not having been no-balled is very proud of the fact. H e chips his own umpire after the innings on his incompetence. To him replies the pro., “ W ell, M r . --------, I did notice ye a throwin* ’em now an agen, but ye see, sir, I make it a rule never to n o-ball a gentleman for throwin* in this class o f cricket (long pause) unless ’e looks like takin’ a w ick et!
