In the report of the Marylebone C.C., which is to be issued to the members, the following statement is, according to the Tima, to be made :—- ‘ ‘ It has been decided to enclose the ground with netting during club matches, as an experiment, and to dispense, as far as possible, with boundary hits. If the ball hit the net, two runs shall be added to the batsman’s score in addition to those actually run,’ Hits over the net are to be regarded as boundaries, and boundaries are to count three.” An article upon this subject will be found on another page. F o r the first time for fourteen years the first-class season opened on Easter Monday. On the former occasion, Gloucestershire played Surrey at the Oval in fine weather; but Easter was later than in the present year. The experiment of 1900 has not been a great success, for, as if to mark his sense of the unfitness of things, the Clerk of the Weather arranged for Easter Monday one of the most objectionable days in his repertoire, and had not relented when Tuesday came. Wednesday was fine.
