AUCKLAND v. CANTERBURY. Played at Auckland on January 23, 30, 31 and February 1. CANTERBURY WIN THE PLUNKET SHIELD. Canterbury won by six wickets. Auckland scored 319 (L. G. Hemus, 142; A. Hadron, 61) a< d 199 (Ha-ldon, 58) >nd Canterbury 269 (D. Iiees-e, 80 ; W. I'ntrick. 75) and 280 for four wickets (H. B. Lu-k 151 not out; Hee-e, G7 not out). It* ese also took six wickets for 75 runs. THE SUSSEX COUNTY C.C. In the unavoidable absence of the Duke of Devonshire, Mr. A. C. Oddie presided over the annual general meeting of the Sussex County Cricket Club at Hove on February 28th. The balance sheet for the season of 1910 showed a loss of £794, and the “ Shilling F und” promoted to wipe off the deficiency of £1,000 on the preceding year had only realised a net profit of £972. The apportionment of the Lancashire match for Killick’s benefit, a loss of £125 on the Glamorgan match, and £79 on the Cricket week at Brighton caused half the deficit. During the coming season all the first-class counties, with the exception of Gloucester shire, Somerset, and Derbyshire, will be met. Out and home matches have been arranged with Cambridge University, and on fixturee has been made with the Indian team. The Yorkshire and Worcestershire matches will be played at Hastings, and the Warwick shire match at Chichester. Unfortunately, Sussex have found it impossible for matches to be played at Horsham and Eastbourne. The report and balance sheet were adopted. Lord Willingdon, who, as Mr. Freeman- Thomas, played for Eton, Cambridge University and Sussex in the eighties, was elected president, Mr. E. A. Smithers was re-elected honorary treasurer, and Colonel E. A. Bruce honorary secretary. THE KENT COUNTY C.C. In the unavoidable absence of Sir Marcus Samuel (the retiring president), Lor.l Harris took the chair at the annual meeting of the Kent County Club, at the Golden Cross Hotel, Charing Cross, on February 27th. The pro ceedings were brief and for the most part formal, the report being unanimously adopted with little or no discussion. Unlike most of the counties, Kent enjoyed great prosperity last season, the profit on the year’s working, despite the expenditure of £388 on improve ments at the St. Lawrence ground at Canterbury, and £179 in commemorating the championship by presents to all those who played in the county matches, amount ing to over £736. In the course of his speech Lord Harris paid a warm tribute to the services rendered to Kent cricket for nearly fifty years by Captain McCanlis, first as an active player, and then as a member of the committee and coach at the Tonbridge nursery. A better coach, Lord Harris declared, was not to be found anywhere. Asked to accept a little present from the Committee as a token of appreciation, Captain McCanlis had chosen a watch. Captain McCanlis, who had a great reception, replied in a few words. The new president of the club is Lord George Hamilton. A hearty vote of thanks to Sir Marcus Samuel was passed. The Kent Com mittee approve of the proposed alteration in the law as to no balls. GEORGE AVERY & SON, Cricket Ball M anufacturers, 9 & 1 1 , C harles Street, SOUTH BO ROUGH , K E N T .
