460 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. Nov. 28, 1901. <2Form(ponticnce. The Editor does not hold himself responsible tor the opinions o f his correspondents. To the Editor of C r ic k e t . S i r , —I feel sure the many lovers of the National game, and especially those who remember old John Jackson in his prime, well not allow his grave to re­ main unmarked, and with a view to putting up a permanent memorial to one of the greatest figures in the cricket world, I trust you will favour me with a little space in your columns inviting any old admirers of the “ Old Terror” to join me in this. Subscriptions may be sent to the above address, or to the Rev. Dr. Hardern, ( f Brownlow Hill In­ firmary, Liverpool, while A. T. Kemble, Esq., of Lancashire County, has kindly promised to receive any subscriptions and to assist as far as possible. Personally, I feel sure that an appeal in your columns will not be unfruitful, even if Notts. County Committee chose to entirely for­ get one who has rendered yeoman ser­ vice. Nottingham County, in particular, there must be many admirers of his in his native shire, as well as the many places he visited with the “ All England X L ,” who will gladly send something, if only one shilling, to assist in perpetuating the memory of an old trojan.
