The list includes some of the best known Metropolitan clubs on the north side of London. Among these the most conspicuous are Kensington Park, Hampstead, West Herts, and Ealing. South London has one representative in Charlton Park, assuming that the match on August 22nd is against the Kent club of that name. MAY. 2. St. Quintin Park, v. Kensington Park 9. Hampstead, v.

The fact that the evergreen Charlie Clarke is the moving spirit of SiLWOOD P a r k is sufficient to make for its success. Esher, with which the hon. sec. was so lon g and so prominently identified, will not inappropriately open as well as close the season. M .C.C., I Zingari, the Free Foresters, and Broad­ water, with all of which C.C. was associated, also figure in the match list. Among the other clubs on the pro­ gramme are the Eton Ramblers, Royal Military College and Staff College. An eleven of the Household Brigade will also visit Silwood Park. MAY. 1. Esher, v. Esher* 9.

The ground is within twelve minutes walk of Wandsworth Common Station on the L . B. & S . O. R ., and six minutes from Earlsfield Station on the L . & S. W . R. The club is not afraid of an early start, as the ground was to be open for practice on April 9 th, and the first match is down for Saturday next. The amount of Spencer’s resources in respect of its play­ ing force can be gathered from the fact that the Club is able to run three elevens throughout the season, and a fourth during a greater part of the season. With the cricket of the Home week, which commences on July 20th, will be interspersed two concerts, to take place on the Tuesday and Thursday evenings. APRIL. 25. Home, v. Croydon MAY. 2. Home. v.
