L e ig h to n . The death occurred from blood poisoning, at the General Hospital, Calcutta, on April 26th, of Mr. James Chalmers Leighton, Sub- Divisional Officer of Asansol. Early in January it appears Mr. Leighton met with an accident to his knee while playing cricket. This necessitated his being taken down to Calcutta. He had almost recovered when fever supervened and he gradually sank. Mr. Leighton went out to India from Dundee in December, 1901, taking up the duties of Sub-Divisional Officer in Naraingunge, and afterwards at Dinapore. Subsequently he was transferred to the post of Assistant Set­ tlement Officer in Ranchi Settlement, and finally to Asansol as Sub-Divisional Officer. Mr. E. N apper . Mr. Edwin Napper, one of the oldest members of the Surrey County C.C., died at Claygate on the 12th inet. in his seventy- eighth year. He was one of the best known sportsmen in the county and belonged to a family which has been associated with the County Club since its formation in 1845. He was buried at Claygate on Saturday last. Mr. C. H. R ichards . Mr. Charles Henry Richards, one of the most enthusiastic lovers of cricket, died after a long illness at 35 Park Row, Nottingham, on Saturday last in his fifty-ninth year. He was the proprietor of one of the oldest printing businesses in Nottingham, and he succeeded his father in the control of it nearly thirty years ago. Both his father and himself printed the cards of the matches at Trent Bridge, and the latter, in addition, published Notts Cricket Scores and Biographies —a most useful work, dealing with the County’s cricket since 1838—the Nottinghamshire County Cricket Annual , the Nottinghamshire Cricket Guide , and biographies in separate form of various players, including Shrewsbury, Gunn, Barnes, Attewell and Sherwin. He was a keen business man, pleasant and affable, and he made a wide circle of friends. For twenty-three years he was sidesman at St. Thomas’ Church, and for practically all his life was a zealous worker in the friendly society movement. He leaves a widow and three daughters. TEST MATCH CRICKET.* It is stated in the introductory remarks that “ This little book seeks to present in cheap and handy form a history of tbe cricket rivalry between England and her great colonies under the Southern Cross. Summar­ ies of the various tours are given, and the full scores are given of the Test matches played in England, along with the scores of a large number of the Test matches played in Australia, including all the more recent tours. ” In his “ Key Chart to Test Matches ’’ the compiler has unfortunately given the number of games played as 76, instead of 81: seven matches have been omitted from the summary, and two—one played by G.F. Vernon’s team at Melbourne in 1887-8 and the other in the same season by Shrewsbury’s team at Sydney—have been included which have no claim to be regarded as worthy of such distinction. Very much interesting matter is contained in the 96 pages of the book, which is published at a price within the reach of all.___________________________ * Test Match Cricket.
