This should be a triangular com petition ; but since the trouble of two years ago, when the tourna­ m ent was abandoned owing to the bad behaviour of the St. Vincent crowd, St. Vincent have held aloof. Thus only a single m atch fell to be played, and the home side won the cup, which Grenada had held from last year. The visitors began well, 66 going up before their first wicket f e ll; but afterwards only Phillips did much. N early all the St. Lucia batsm en scored, and the captain, Peter, and Floissac added 68 for the seventh wicket. In their second innings Grenada collapsed before Cobham and Geneteau, and St. Lucia had an easy victory. G r e n a d a . First Innings. E. Hughes, st St. Claire, b Geneteau 36 run out .. .. 4 W .

Duncan, the Grenada captain, handed over the Cup to Miss Young, sister of the Adm inistrator of the W indw ard Islands, who gracefully presented it to Mr. Peter, the St. Lucia captain. On the Saturday a one-innings game was played to fill up time. St. Lucia scored 173 (Ismael 42, St. Claire 38, Marshall 20), and Grenada made 177 for 9 (Earl Hughes 97, H aynes 45, T aylor 19). Hughes played in really fine style. Duncan took 5 for 49 for Grenada, and Marshall 4 for 28 for St. Lucia. ------------ +■------------ C ricke t in th e N o r th of Ire land . 15 ; Tarrant, not T h e other day a prominent Ulster cricketer, who plays for both the North Down and North of Ireland clubs, was kind enough to look in at the Office and give us a good deal of interesting informa­ tion about Ulster cricket— information that was as welcome as the visit, and we are always glad to see supporters of the paper, though it may sometimes happen that pressure of business prevents our giving them much time. Our visitor does not at all agree with the general idea that Dublin and district is the cricket stronghold of Ireland. We cannot take sides in the matter ; but he certainly adduced good reasons for his theory that the game is at present far more keenly played in Ulster (despite all the troubles) than in Leinster. There is in the Northern Cricket Union League, with ten clubs in its senior division, an organisation for which Dublin has no parallel. The League's clubs are Armagh, Banbridge, Clifton- ville, Downpatrick, Holywood (last year’s premiers), Lisburn, North Down, North of Ireland, Ulster, and Waringstown. Several of these clubs also run teams in the second division. In connection with the League are also run intermediate and junior competitions. School cricket is going ahead in Ulster. The principal schools are the Armagh Royal School, Campbell College (Belfast), Coleraine Academical Institution, Methodist College (Belfast), Portora Royal School, Royal Academical Insitution (Belfast), and the Royal Academy (Belfast). All of these are now affiliated to the Northern Cricket Union, which will this year control the match between Ulster Schoolboys and Leinster Schoolboys, hitherto played on an unofficial footing. English and‘ Scottish clubs seeking fresh ground for a tour might do far worse than make Belfast their headquarters. They can have a week’s (or if necessary a fortnight’s) cricket in and around that city, and a good time also, for there is plenty of interest in the North-East of Ireland. It is too late for arrange ments to be made this year, of course ; but any Hon. Sec. con­ templating such a tour next can be put into communication with the right man to engineer matters if he will apply to us. ----- +----- The Bloemfontein Bother. A l e t t e r from the committee of the Marylebone Cricket Club relating to the Bloemfontein incident during the recent South African tour was read at a meeting of the South African Cricket Association at Johannesburg. The letter expressed unqualified regret at any apparent dis­ courtesy that had been offered to the mayor and citizens of Bloemfontein. The committee trusted that in view of Mr. Douglas’s personal apology and the club’s expression of regret all parties would agree that “ Over should now be called.” The meeting agreed to inform the Marylebone Cricket Club that so far as the association was concerned the incident was closed.— Reuter. S u s s e x M a r t le t s (304 — C. L . St. J. T udor 78, W . H . Bacon 69*, W . H . Jones 58) beat Eastbourne College (201— O. G. H ake 83, T. A. Rider 73). The M artlets lost 6 for 145, and looked like being beaten, but the seventh wicket stand of Bacon and Jones put them well ahead.
