A REPLY TO AN AUSTRALIAN CRITICISM. To the Editor o f C rick e t. D e a r Sib,—I was amused in reading the letter of Mr. A. L . Blackshaw of Sydney in last week’s Cricket, in which he makes one or two criticisms on the menu cover which I designed for the dinner given to the M.C.C. Australian Team. I have received many expressions of satisfaction and several letters from abroad, showing how keenly cricketers have appreciated the design. Mr. Black­ shaw, who evidently has examined the drawing carefully, informs me that there are five stars in the Southern Cross. Though my knowledge of astronomy is only slight, I know there are five stars, and, indeed, many, many more of various magnitudes in this constellation which lies in the milky way. However, I think the four great cricketers named—Noble, Trumper, Hill and Duff —are the brilliant “ Australian Stars” of our time, though our admiration for Trumble and others in their splendid past is still alive. It is also amusing to be reminded that Warner and his men “ left England in a mail steamer from a dock.” May I add that their well-wishers saw them off in over­ coats and “ bowlers.” Forgive me if I still prefer my suggestive little antiquated “ sailer ” with its canvas full of wind, a very necessary possession for cricketers during a long innings or a day’s bowling and fielding. I had thought of putting Arnold as one of the banner (bowling screen) bearers, but he figures in the front row (all praise to him) and those two great Yorkshire cricketers, Hirst and Rhodes, so often working together in great cricket contests, support the banner of English cricket in my design. May I mention that the matter-of-fact in art is often uninterestiug, and tbe suggestive is frequently far more impressive, and con­ veys more than the representation of actual facts, and the incident or detail one artist would include another would reject. I remember hearing of an artist who had to illustrate a short poem in which a labourer was described as return­ ing to his cottage after work. “ Well, said the art editor, on seeing the draw­ ing, “ surely his wife ought to be at the cottage door to welcome him ! ” “ ljo ,” said the artist, “ if you think a moment, she’s imide the cottage getting his tea ready.” Some day, if ever “ the ashes ” go back to Australia, it will be a great pleasure for us in the old country to see a design from Australia commemorating the event. I wonder whether we shall be allowed to art-edit it ? Yours faithfully, G . H il l y a r d -S w in s t e a d . Atelier, 14, K iJ d e rp o re A ven u e, Hampstead, N. W. August 13, 1904.
