A ll communications intended for the Editorial Department should, in order to prevent delay, be addressed to “ The Editor of Ckicket, 168, Upper Tham es Street, E .C .,” and not to any person by name. The same rem ark applies to all publications intended for review. The Editor cannot hold him self responsible for the safety of M SS. sent to him for consideration, although every effort w ill be made to return them when a stamped addressed wrapper is enclosed for that purpose.

Letters and enquiries from anonymous correspondents w ill not receive attention. Advertisements, subscriptions, &c., should be addressed to the “ Manager of Cbicket, 168, Upper Tham es Street, E .C .,” and should be kept distinct from communications intended for the Editorial Department.

The abstract and brief chronicle of the time. — Hamlet. ;S. t h e P r i n c e G a e k w a d o p B a r o d a —such is the correct name and style of the young Oriental potentate who batted so well for Oxford Uni­ versity v. Kent. The statement is made with due authority, for we have it under the Gaekwad’s own hand. We called him “ Sivaji Rao,” and we apologise. But it is some consolation to us that no one else was exactly right, “ Gaekwar of Baroda” being the nearest shot. And— ‘ ‘ Though we stumbled and we strayed, We were led by evil counsellors—” the last two words being understood in the purest Pick­ wickian sense, of course. U p to Saturday last young J. W. Hearne had played three consecutive innings of between 70 and 80. One does not feel quite sure that his being allowed to bat for Shipman at Sheffield was in order ; but after all the game was a trial match, and the more men who could be tried the better, perhaps. In each of three successive matches John Sharp has played innings of 45—0 and 45 v. Middlesex, 45 and 0 v. Notts., 45 and 8 v. Somerset. The 8 rather spoils the symmetry of the figures ; but from Sharp’s point of view no doubt it was preferable to a duck. W i l l i a m T y l d e s l e y —who is not the brother of J. T ., or any relation indeed—has gone a very long way j l i I r i n e : 9 9 For cleaning and whitening Buckskin and Canvas Boots and Shoes, Cricket Pads, &c.
