Ten matches were played by the Cl11b in 1874 as in 1 . 72, a � tl the number of vict ? 1�ies and def ats according to the accolmt fur­ nished 1s equal, though mention seems to have been omitted of the reverse at the end of July at the hands of the American Baseball players. Thirty. two extraneot1s matches ""era played on the gr�tmd, of these nineteen being military engagements. ltliddlesex played as t1sual its four home matches at Prince , s, and ,vas unfortunate enough to be worsted in all. Of the divisional matohe as Gentlemen and Players, Gentle1uan of South against Players of No1·th, against North and South t the two first-named were a comparative fuiltu -. e, owing to collision with other important engagements, but the last was in every way a success , and to the credit of the Club be it saicl, that tba proceeds were wholly given to that most deserving charity the '' Criokete1·s Fund.'' . . .
