We should be glad if Club Secretaries would arrange to haye their Match Reports delivered at our Offices by mid-day Monday. ^atotlton The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. D e s p it e the rain and the very doubt­ ful prospect of seeing any cricket, no fewer than 6,246 people paid for admis­ sion to Lord’s on Thursday last, the first day of the test match, and 2,252 on Friday. They paid their money on the understanding that they did so at their own risk, and that it would not be returned in any case. As was perhaps natural, when C. B. Fry, for the second time this season in the test matches, failed to score, there was an outcry in some of the papers for his ejection from the English team in the next match, which takes place at Sheffield on July 3rd. This is, at the very least, premature. Other famous batsmen have made duck’s eggs before now, and some of W. G.’s finest scores were made in the second innings after he had made nothing in the first. As it happened, Fry did not get a chance to have another go in either match, and so had no oppor­ tunity of redeeming his failures. I t is interesting to note that of the twenty-two men who played in the test match at Lord’s in 1899, when England was so badly beaten by ten wickets, no fewer than fifteen took part in the match last week. The sides were as follows :— ENGLAND. 1899. 1902. C. B. Fry C. B. Fry A. C. Maclaren A . C. Maclaren K . S. Ranjitsinhji E . S. Ranjitsinhji F. S. Jackson F. S. Jackson J. T. Tyldesley J. T.

On Sunday morning, seeing that the roads were nearly dry, I went for a country walk across fields and through lanes. I have been accustomed for years to take this walk during the winter, when it is sometimes distinctly muddy. Bnt never, in all my experience, has it been in such a shocking condition as it was on Sunday. When I returned home I looked as if I had bsen doing navvy work.” O n e of the evening papers was a little premature on Thursday in its “ second extra ” contents bill, on which was
