Jones (Notts), Rhodes (Yorks), K. A . Young (Sussex). This is certainly a strong side, but, of course, far from representative of the full strength of England. T h e Kent County C.C. have informed the Mayor of Dover that it has been decided to have a Dover Cricket Week n xt year, the Kent v. Gloucfstershire n atch played there this season having been such a success. The Yorkshire and Worc< stershire Elevens will probably be the visiting teams. I n the fifth match of the Berkhamsted “ W e e k ’’ —against Mr. N. A. Morice’s X I . on the 2nd inst.— there was some very uneven scoring in the viei'or’s innings :— White, lbw, b Cowley ........................33 V. R. Scully, st Hext, b Cowley..........201 T. W.

Laatham, who is only sixteen years cf age, is son of Claude Leatham and nephew of G. A. B ., who played once for the Gentlemen and occasionally for Yorkshire. A correspondent suggests that the above performance is unique for one so young, and I am inclined to agree with him. C apt . W . N . W h it e , who scored 63 for Hampshire v. Gloucestershire at Cheltenham last Friday, going in first wicket down and carrying out his bat, was in the Malvern X I. in 1896 and 1897, being contemporary with R. E. Foster and 8. H . Day. For some years past he has been one of the greatest ruu- getters in Army cricket, the majority of his chief feats having been performed at J i l l NISIEII Cl.

A slight delay occurred at the start, as the Australians would not use the ball provided, Darling returned to the pavilion where Jack­ son met him, Jones taking out the new ball, which also was rejected, Noble running in to fetch the desired brand. The desired brand was a John Wisden & Co.’s “ SPECIAL CROWN.” F. S. Jackson has agreed to your “ Special Crown ” Balls being used in all the five Sests. There were not any of yours here, so we lent them three until they received some from you.— Yours very sincerely, J oe D akling . The Bill, to he used in Teat Matches are now settled. WISDEN’ S are the only makes permissible. City Agents: BENETFINK & CO., CHEAPSIDE. T H E ART I L L ERY P U C E . WOOLWICH.
