Instead of, as heretofore, publishing six monthly issues of CBICKET during the off-season, we shall give with the new journal—which will be under the same management and very much on the same lines as CB ICK E T :— A weekly supplement containing cricket news to date, “ Pavilion Gossip,” portraits and interviews, averages, scores of matches in the Colonies, and other matter such as has in past winters filled the columns of CRICKET. This is a change of no small importance, and we trust that our readers will rally round us, and help us to make tbe new venture a pronounced success. There must be many among them who are keenly interested in the Bugby game, just as there are many Bugby footballers who are enthusiastic about cricket. We believe that the two games will run well in double harness. In the summer CB1CKET will resume its old familiar form, but will also contain a weekly supplement devoted to Bugby news. To those wbo do not care for football, the weekly issue may, and we hope will, appeal in another ligbt. It will enable us to keep more fully up to date with the news of the game—a game which is now being played somewhere in the world every week of the year. During the past season the Editor and Manager of CBICKET have been the recipients of innumerable letters expressing en­ thusiastic approval of the improvements made in the paper. These letters have gratified us greatly, and we hope—we are sure — that our loyal readers will have no cause to grumble at the effects of the change here outlined. They will get more cricket news than ever; they will get it earlier; and we have no intention of calling a halt in our career of progress. Give the new paper, with its supplement in the guise of an old friend, a fair trial—we ask no more ! M A R R I A G E S . BELL—KEBB.—On Sept. 13th, at St. Dunstan’s, Cheam, Surrey, by tbe Bev. H. A.
