The English team’s averages were given last week, though they included one match—- that v. Port Antonio—which has no claim to first-class rank.

Lord Lilford presided on Monday last over the annual meeting of the Northamptonshire County Cricket Club, a large number of members being present. In moving the adoption of the report and balance sheet Lord Lilford referred to the great loss the Club had sustained by the death of Mr. Percy W. Dale, the late honorary organising secretary. From the ploying point of view last season had been most successful, but the balance-sheet unfortunately showed a loss of £861, which, coming on top of the previous debt of £370, was causing the Club much anxiety. Mr. A. J. Darnell, in seconding the motion, pointed out how Northamptonshire had M r. CH A R LE S J. T. POOL. On account of ill-health, Mr. Pool will be seen very seldom in the cricket-field this year. always advocated a policy of progress, without, however, wishing to tinker with the laws of the game. He was strongly in favour of promotion by merit and Saturday starts in county matches. When he first advocated the adoption of a policy of promotion by merit he was treated with scorn, but the people who sneered had come to the stool of repentance, and they had Lancashire proposing the very resolution which Northants had advocated ten years ago. The report and balance sheet were adopted, and Mr. G. A. T. Yials was elected captain in place of Mr. T. E. Manning, who had retired. Lord Lilford was re-elected president and Mr. L. B. Tebbutt hon. organising secretary. TO SECRETAR IES OF CLUBS AND SCHOOLS.
