Weir, offer most interesting reading, while Charles Plairre's verses are up to his high standard of excellence. The publishers are to be congratulated upon producing such good value for 2d., also that the followers of the game have apparently realised the fact. It is not always that well.meant efforts meet with fit and proper reward.”— Referee. THE INNINGS Cricket Items Old and New. P r i c e - 2 d . WRIGHT & CO-, 7, Temple Lane, London, E.C.
