G o rd o n (S .A .).—Neither of th© innings you refer to was com pleted, The following letters have appeared in the Times since the publication of the last number of Cricket. In Thurcday’s issue the Hen. F. S. Jackson said :— “ As one whose good fortune it has been to take som e part in International click ct, I should consider it a favour to be allowed to offer through your colum ns a few observations on the recent resolution of the Advisory Board, w hich it was decided should be sent to Australia subsequent to the intim ation from the Board of Control that they were unable to take part in the suggested triangular contest in this country next year.” “ The resolution, as I read it, seems needlessly curt, not to say ungenerous, though I cannot believe that it is intended to offend. It w ould really seem as if the Advisory Board had been either m isled or unduly hurried to this conclusion, perhaps both. Old friends as w ell as opponents, the Australians have been com ing over here regularly for thirty years, and have, I think, always played the gam e as it should be played to the advantage o f cricket and cricketers here. T hey w ould in the ordinary course have received an invitation to send a team here next year, a team w hich, I believe, w ould have com e to this country, under the direction of the new Board o f Control, w hich has been form ed largely in deference to our wishes and w hich has been looking forw ard to sending a team to play under conditions as regards m atches and other details sim ilar to those w hich have regulated previous tours. The triangular tournam ent was suggested to this country shortly after the South African tour last year ; and I think I am correct when I say that, w hile received in a kindly spirit, it aroused no great am ount of enthusiasm , and that it was, indeed, quietly hinted that its adoption depended entirely 011 w hether or not the Australians w ould be prepared to take part in the tournam ent.” “ We now have Australia’s reply. We know that the Australians do not see their w ay to taking part in such a contest this year. What their reasons m ay be for refusal I know not. They m ay think tho tim e inopportune. I f they do there are m any people in this country who w ill agree in that view , or they m ay w ish for further tim e for considering tho schem e in detail.” “ B ut w hatever the reasons w hich have prom pted the action of the Australians, the fact that they have found it necessary to declare them selves unable to take part in tho proposed triangular contest is surely no sufficient cause for their being perem ptorily told that theym ust either join in the tournam ent or stay at h om e.” “ Though I hold no brief for the Australians, I do m ost earnestly plead for that harm ony and good feeling w hich should and m ust exist betw een us and them if international cricket is to flourish. That feeling, I fear, w ill be rudely shattered b y the send­ ing of such a message as the decision of the Advisory Board w hich it is proposed to transm it to Australia. There can be little doubt that a m istake has been made. W hy should it not be acknow ledged and the resolution w ithdrawn w ith no loss of dign ity to any one concerned ? ” “ I sincerely hope that the counties w ill see their way to extend to the Australian team 011 the old lines and w ith no new conditions a cordial invi­ tation to visit this country n ext year, and, if this be done, I feel certain that the welcom e accorded them w ill be as hearty and generous as it has always beon from all lovers of the gam e. ” Mr. J. H. Carruthers, President of the New South Wales Cricket Association, stated his opinions in the next day’ s issue :— “ A t the tim e of m y departure from N ew South Wales I held the position of president of the Cricket Association of that State. I presum e that at the elec­ tion of officers since no change has been m ade ; but the rem arks w hich 1 offer are^not to be taken in the nature of an official utterance, but rather as com ing from one actively identified w ith cricket in Australia for over 30 years.” “ Australians w ill heartily thank the H on. F. S. Jackson for his able and fair-m inded letter.” “ Australia has now sent and received international teams for over forty years ; nnd the visits to and from England and to and from Australia have done imm ense good, especially in Australia, in knitting the peoples of the tw o countries together. N othing has done more in that direction. The great English pastim e has been firm ly rooted in Australia, and tho contests for suj rem acy have been fought w ith the greatest determ ination and in the best spirit of our com m on race.” “ Situated as w e in Australia are, 16,000 m iles away, the actual and visible connection betw een the tw o countries, the young and the old, is too little apparent to a large proportion of our young people. It is the bringing of your best to us and tfte sending
