A b o o k , entitled “ Talks with Old English Cricketers,” is shortly to be published by Messrs. W. Blackwood and Sons. It is written by Mr. A. W. Pullin, ihe author of “ Talks with Old Yorkshire Cricketers.” Y et another ancient cricket tale is going the rounds. It is about a match in Samoa, in which there was a free fight with revolvers, etc., all on account of an umpire’s decision. The number of dead left on the field is vaguely estimated at from half-a-dozen or fifty, according to circumstances. The tale has reached England again on its second tour round the world, and is now appearing in many high-class papers. It is almost time that the other yarn about thousands of natives playing on a side in a match which lasted for weeks appeared again in England. THE SURREY COUNTY C.C. The following are the most important items in the annual report of the com­ mittee:— The committee have to report, with regret, that Mr. K. J.

It is with regret that we have to an­ nounce the death of Colonel Sir Francis Arthur Marindin, who passed away sud­ denly on Saturday last at his residence, Craigflower, Dunfermline. On several occasions he played for the Royal En­ gineers, being a steady batsman and generally fielding at point. He was born at Weymouth, in Dorsetshire, May 1st, 1838, and was educated at Eton and the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, entering the Royal Engineers in 1854. In 1884 he was elected to be vice-presi­ dent of the Kent County Cricket Club.
