Total ... : The very interesting memoir of Colonel the Rt. Hon.William Kenyon-Slaney, M.P., which Mr. Walter Durnford, Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge, has edited, will be welcomed by all those who were fortunate enough to know him personally, whether in his private life, as a member of the House of Commons, or as a cricketer. He was not a great player—he did not get info the Eleven either at Eton or Oxford—but he was very enthusiastic and in many ways was able to do a good deal for the game. He played chiefly for the M.C.C.,I. Zingari and the Household Brigade, and was largely instrumental in securing the Guards’ cricket-ground at Burton’s Court, Chelsea. Reference to his skill as a cricketer is made by General the Hon. N. G. Lyttelton, an old school-fellow, and the Rt. Hon. Walter Long, who knew him well for over thirty years. The latter tells how he was once acting “ as captain of a Zingari Eleven, some members of which had been up a little too late the night before, and were not as active in the field as he thought they ought to be ; a catch or two was missed, a ball here and there let through their legs, runs made by the other side which he rightly held ought to have been saved. After one of the overs he addressed the eleven in strong terms, and told them that theymust wake up and play the game properly, or they would lose the match. The very first ball of ihe next over an easy catch was put up at mid- off, where he was himself standing; amid the ill-concealed jeers of the rest of the eleven, the ball fell through his hands to the ground. Many men would have been annoyed, and wouldhave lost their tempers at this untoward incident, turning, as it did, the remarks he had just delivered, which were intended for his fellow-members, upon himself; but not so Kenyon-Slaney: he did not say a word, he betrayed no signs of irritation, but quietly returned to his place, and set himself with redoubled energy to show an example to the rest of the eleven. I have often thought of this incident, because it formed a remarkable illustration of what the man really was. ” He could tell a good story with effect, and at almost his last appearance on the platform at the South Hertfordshire election he brought down the house with this remark : “ As I stood the other day at the end of a covert missing the cock-pheasants, I came to the conclusion that I was making the same mistake as you made with the Radical party last election—paying too much attention to their long tails (tales), and not noticing the smallness of their heads.” The book contains nine illustrations, including an excellent portrait of Colonel Kenyon- Slaney as frontispiece, and has been very attractively produced by the publisher.

With the " M.C.C.” bat in your 1and you stand a better chance of defeatirg the well liid plans of Captain and bowler—a better chance because the “ M.C.C.1’ is a bettrr bat, a better ba'anced bat, and a more powerful driver. THE 6 6 M C C J J BAT. Built mainly of specially selected Sarawak Cane, the handle is made on a new and entirely successful principle. The utmost driving power is obtained with a total absence of stinging, and it is absolutely im­ possible for this handle to become "sprung.” The blades are carefully selected from the choicest close bark English Willow, well seasoned and hand-hammered throughout.
