Sir George Clarke, in his reply to an address, said:— “ And now I wish to say a few words to the Kumars. I was much struck by the soldierly bearing of the detachment which escorted me from the station on my arrival, and I am glad to know that most of you have natural fondness for horsemanship and I hope also for horsemastership. While you are here I beg you to give yourselves up with earnestness alike to studies and to sports. Seek to attain excellence in some­ thing and to bring cre.iit upon the Collfge- I hope cricket will continue to make head, way in Kathiawar, which, in His Highuess the Jam Sahib, has produced one of the very finest cricketers of the day, while the Thakor Sahib of Rajkot is following worthily in his footsteps. It would be a pleasure to me to receive a team at Poona in September, if a match could be arranged. The manly sports in which you engage here will not interfere with your studies. You can succeed in both if you follow the excellent precept of puttiug your hearts into everything you undertake. When college days are ended I most strongly advise you to keep up your spoits which will keep you in health and strength, all the better able to discharge tbe duties that may fall upon you. In India one tao frequently sees the effects of early relapse into seden­ tary habits which inevitably tends towards premature old age. Hard work which so many Englishmen are able to perform in India is largely due to the natural habit of keeping up sports and exercise as long as possible.” A. Knight scored 216 not out for Yelta v. Federals in a Yorke’s Penin 3 ula (South Australia) match on January 29tli. Exactly a week earlier H. J. Humphreys had made 200 not out in a B. Grade match in Adelaide for Sturt v. University. * In a third-grade Victorian Junior Association match between The A<je and Collingwood United on February 19th, W. M’Gee scored 201 not out for the former, who made 401 against 51 and 53 and won by an innings and 297 runs. PUBLIC SCHOOL AVERAGES . (Continued from Vol. XX VIIJ, page ISk.) ETON COLLEGE.

Practically everything of importance and interest which occurred during the period named has been duly chronicled, and for those who tabulate the notabilia of the game, the little volume will be found a mine of information. The laws of cricket, the fixtures for the approaching season, and an article <n “ Missed Catches in 1909 ” are to be found within its covers. ♦John Wisden’s Cricketers’ Note Book for 1910.
