Under the impression that the ground of the A r k l e y C.C. was on the London side of the Hertfordshire border, we stated last year that the club belonged to Middlesex. The honorary secretary, Mr. O. Mudie, Rowley Lodge, Arkley, assures us however that the ground is in Hert­ fordshire. Mr. A. S. Farmer is the captain, and Mr. W . H . Robson vice­ captain. All the best clubs in the neighbourhood are on the card,while in addition Arkley plays the M.C.C. and Ground, Herts Club and Ground, Stoics, U. C. S. Old Boys, West Herts, Hornsey, and Hampstead. The ground bowler is W . Chaplow. We may state that the cricket ground is distant from H igh Barnet Station 2| miles, and from Elstree Station mile*. Our readers will re­ member that Mr. G. L. Jessop did a few remarkable performances last year for the Arkley C.C. M AY. 4. Arkley, v. Stoics 11. Hatfield, v. Hatfield 18. Watford, v. West Herts 22. Stanmore, v. Stanmore Park 25. Radlett, v.

Among the opposing clubs are M.C.C., Nondescripts, Epsom, Esher and Surbiton. Mr. Walters (whose address is Worcester Park), hopes to arrange some boy’s matches during the summer holidays, and in the annual circular issued to the members states that he will be glad to receive any suggestions as to these matches.
