Mr. Frederick Hannam Clarke, the Editor of the American Cricketer, died on the 28th ult., after a long and serious illness. His death came somewhat as a surprise, for he had improved so much in health during the summer that it was thought hemight recover. It was not to be, however, and he died ten days after his return fromthe sea-shore. He showed marvellous fortitude all through his long illness, and the doctors considered it wonderful considering the suffering he endured. It was our good fortune to maintain a fairly brisk correspondence with him, and his letters always men­ tioned the pleasure with which he was anticipating his return to work on the Cricketer —a paper upon which he had done a very great deal indeed during the past few years, for in filling the editorial chair he was occupying a position for which he was particularly well suited. He was barn at Loughton, in Essex, iu 1868, and to the last was interested in the clubs with which he was identified ere settling in America. He will be greatly missed in Philadelphia, but, in being succeeded in the editorship of the American Cricketer by Mr. H. H. Cornish, the position he filled with such eminent success will be held by the one best qualified to undertake all the attendant responsibilities. M r . C h a r l e s J o h n C u n n in g h a m . Mr. Charles John Cunningham, a generous supporter of the game in Scot­ land, diedat his residence, Muirhouselay, Kelso, on Saturday morning last. T h o m a s W e s t a l l . Thomas Westall, an old Hertfordshire cricketer, died at St. Albans on Septem­ ber 23rd, aged 62. He had umpired for the County for twenty years, and for thirty seasons had been connected with the West Herts C.C., at Watford. He was buried at St. Albans on September 27th. CHARTERHOUSE AVERAGES.

Since the new scheme for the Minor Counties Competition, formulated by the Yorkshire County C.C., became law, by the concurrence of all the parties inter­ ested, some additions have had to be made. Worcestershire has entered its second team, and Carmarthenshire and Lincolnshire have decided to compete. On the other hand Oxfordshire has had to retire, so that there are two counties to be added to thenumberof competitors. As a result there has had to be a slight rearrangement of three of the divisions, excepting the Eist. The Counties are now, therefore, arranged for the season of 1907 as follows :— N orth .— Durham, Lancashire (2), Lincolnshire, Northumberland, Staffordshire, Yorkshire (2). W est.— Carmarthenshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Glamorganshire, Monmmouthshire. M idlands.— Berks, Bucks, Surrey (2), Wiltshire, Worcestershire (2). E ast.— Bedfordshre, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk, Suffolk. The regulations for the Competition are as under :— 1.—Every county shall play out andhome two-days’ matches with every other county in its division. 2.—The counties which shall haveobtained in their respective divisions the greatest pro­ portionatenumber of points shall play semi- final two-days’ matches. Provided that if two or more counties at the top of any one division have obtained the same proportion of points, preference shall be given to that county which shall have won the greatest number of completedmatches. The winners of the semi-final matches shall play a final threedays’ match at the endof August; and the winner of the final match shall be reckoned champion county of the second division. 3. — Points in the competition shall be reckoned as follows : Five points shall be scored for a win in a completed match. Should thematch not be completed, the side leading on the first innings shall score two points. In the event of a tie the points shall be divided. Matches in which no result on the first innings thall have been attained shall not be included inthe table of results. 4.—Each semi-final matchshall be played ontheground of one of the counties engaged, and the draw for such matches and for the choice of ground shall be decided by the Emergency Committee. The final match shall be played on a neutral ground, which shall be selected by the Emergency Com­ mittee. 5.—The expenses and the profits of each semi-final match shall be divided equally between the counties engaged. The regula­ tions governing the final match shall be determined by the Association or by a Com­ mitteeappointedfor the purpose. I The “ EXCELSIOR” should be I every Pavilion !
