Lord Hawke’s Team won by seven wickets. The English team gained an easy victory in this match played at Lancaster Park, Christchurch on February 27th, 28th and March 2nd. There was a good attendance throughout, and the takings for the three days amounted to £549 14s. 6d. The feature of the New Zealanders’ cricket was the batting of D. Reese, a left-hander who plays in excellent form, and K. Tucker, the bowling of S. T. Callaway, who played for New South Wale3 a year or two ago, and Downes. With 75 to win Burnup and Warner took the score to 64 before the former was out(lbw.

The Cricket Council, he said, had been very fortunate in getting here a team of the calibre of Mr. Warner and his men. The visitors had given fine exhibitions of the game, and he was sure the visit would result in much good to cricket in New Zealand. Mr. Warner, in responding to the toast, said they had been treated with the utmost kind­ ness and hospitality throughout New Zealand. He hoped the visit of the team would improve cricket here. He was glad to know they had an experienced player like Mr. Bannerman— at one time one of Australia’s best batsmen— here to teach the boys. Rudyard Kipling had said the best way to make the British soldier was to catch him young and train him, and the same might be said about cricket. Boys of fourteen or fifteen were the ones to coach and make cricketers of. In any future tours he hoped there would be fewer matches against eighteens and twenty- twos, and more games in the chief centres. This would result in more good to the game. He concluded by proposing the toast of ‘ ‘ The New Zealand Team,” coupled with the name of their captain. Mr. Richardson briefly responded. The Editor regrets that the pressure of scores during the summer only allows him to guaranteeinsertion of scores of clubs arranging for publication of all their matches. A charge of Is. a match, with a minimum of 21s., is made for the insertion of scores. Odd scores are inserted at 2s. each if space permits. Scores must reach “ Cricket ” Offices, 168, Upper Thames Street, E.C., by first post on Tuesday following the match. THE METROPOLITAN CLUBS IN 1903. The F o r e st H il l C.C. maintains its reputation as one of the most popular of Metropolitan clubs, being able to put four elevens into the field on most Satur­ days during the season. M.C.C. and London County C.C. are among the opponents of the first eleven, who keep the ball rolling from May 26th to Sep­ tember 19th. The Forest Hill Week this year begins on July 6th with a match against the Stoics, who are followed by Granville (Lee), M.C.C. and Ground, Wanderers, Town Mailing and Sutton, in the order named. Summer entertain­ ments have always been a popular feature of the cricket season. This year they will consist of three open-air concerts, on June 1st, July 8th and 18 th, and August 3rd and 18th. A performance of “ Iolanthe,” by the Mountebank Players, will be given on April 30th and two following evenings at the Sydenham Public Hall, when the proceeds will be given to the kindred clubs. In order to meet the requirements of the new Licens­ ing Act a special general meeting will be held in the ladies’ pavilion on the cricket ground, on Tuesday the 21st inst., at 7.30 p.m. The following addition to the rule3 of the club will be proposed:— “ The committee shall have power to admit, without subscription, as temporary or honorary members, the members of the opposing teams on any particular day, such members shall personally enjoy the privileges of the club, provided their election shall have taken place 48 hours previously.” A smoking concert will follow. W. R. Williams (30, Dartmouth Road, Forest Hill, S.E.) retains the position of hon. secretary, andF. Skipper the captaincy of the first eleven. MAY. 2. Home, v. Dulwich 9. Home, v. Merton 16.
