100 YEARS AT LORD'S.
STORIES OF THE GROUND.
On May 9th, 1814, the present Lord's ground the third known by that name- was opened, and one rejoices to find that the centenary of so. auspicious an event te to be celebrated in befitting fashion.
Thomas Lord, the founder of the grounds, was a man of gentle birth, a
large landed proprietor, and a cricketer- "whose enthusiasm for the game

ground regularly and called the odds in front of the pavilion; roguery indulged in to an alarming extent, and often professionals found it impossible to resist bribes to play their side false. Even Lord Frederick Boauclerk, the chief member at Lord's, openly acknowledged thut be reckoned to make 600 guineas a year out of the games. Times fortunate- ly, have changed, and the last player to practise such trickery has long sine gone to his rest.
In 1825, when Lord wished to retire, thore was a possibility of the ground being lost to the game, for the old cricketer had obtained permission to erect fourteen villas on the site and might have carried his idea into effect without delay. Happily William Ward. M.P. for London and the best batsman of the time, prevented such a catastrophe by giving Lord a cheque for £5,000 for his interest, but ten years later Ward himself, having experienced a very heavy financial loss, obtained a lease from the Byre cstate und transferred it four days Inter to James Henry Dark, a profes sional and one of the best friends the Club over had, for £2,000 and an annuity of £123 during the unexpired term. More than once the latter was tempted by the builders, but he was loyal to the

10,000 NAMES ON WAITING LIST. For almost thirty years Dark was the proprietor of Lord's, the freehold of which was sold by the Eyre Estate at public auction to Mr. Isaac Moses for £7,000 in 1860. Four years later the M.C.C., at a cost of £12,500 (of which sum the late King Edward, as Prince of Wales, subscribed a hundred guineas), purchased Dark's lease of twenty-nine years, and on August 22nd, 1888, through the
generosity of Mr. William Nicholson, who advanced the money, secured the freehold from Marsden (née Moscs) for £18,333 68. 8d., being 33 1-3 years' pur- chase of the ground rent, secured under the extended lease of ninety-nine years.
In 1890 the present pavilion was erected at a cost of £21,000, Mr. Nicholson again advancing a large sum to the Club. That was the third building of the kind, the first-having-been destroyed by fire in 1825 and the second being pulled down for that which now adorns the ground.
For many years membership of the M.C.C. has been much coveted, so that it is said that when an heir is born to a great house, the butler, on his way to register the birth, calls at Lord's to enter the name in the candidates' book. For over half a century the MC.C. was & comparatively small club. Even in 1835, after being established forty-eight years, the membership was only 213; by 1867 it had reached 1,000; by 1857 (the centenary year) 3,210 and last season 5,352. At the present time over 10,000 names are on the. waiting list, and it is estimated that some of the non-orioketers included in the nam- ber will be obliged to wait forty years ere being clected.
6,812 M.C.C GAMES.
In each of the last twenty-five years the M.C.C. has arranged a programme of over 150 matches, and since its establish- ment in the eighteenth century has played 6,813 games in the United Kingdom alone.
Of that number 3,598 have been won, 1,525 lost, and 1,689 (including thirteen ties) drawn.

G." and Mr. Charles Green against Freeman and Emmett, That was in 1870, the commencement of the most interesting decade in the history of the ground. Those who visited Lord's regularly during the 'seventies were very fortunate, for they witnessed the thrilling finish to the University match of 1870, in which the immortal Cobben, by taking the last three Oxford wickets in three balls, pulled off the match for Cambridge by two runs the concluding stages, almost as exciting, of the 1875 game, won by Oxford by six runa; the ideal termina- tion of the Gentlemen v. Players match of 1877, and the furore created by the Australians in the first match they ever played in London. To dismiss a very strong side of the M.C.C. for 33 and 19 and win the game in a single day was 50 remarkable & feat that the day on which it was performed may be said to mark the commencement of a new epoch in the history of cricket.-F.

THE "AMERICANISATION OF BRITISH SOCIETY."
Some melancholy reflections reach a Home newspaper from an old social observer on the Peace Ball processions and the other pageants of the kind. He writes:-"Although I am used now to all sorta of somersault changes, I must confess that the idea of the ladies of the grand world marching in processions, figuring as living pictures, dressing up to form 19.

surprised if Lady Randolph Churchill was the main instigator. It is a sign of the Americanising of Society which seema to have been the most notable thing about the Peace Ball. In my younger days women of title and position were only called upon to make one public display of themselves, and that was one of their tortures-I mean the procession in the Mall to the Palace on Drawing-room days, when through the chilly March afternoon they had to sit in their carriages in low-necked dresses while the crowd came round, criticised, and counselled. Leach's drawings in Panch showed how they did it" Lor, Billy! Here's a red-posed one!" and so on. (I once walked round to see what type received most public commendation and I found that it was a commanding woman of the Britannia type that really roused enthusiasm) Women hated this order, but it was the only entry to the Palace,
