I confess I don't know an awful lot about things yet but I am parti- cularly struck with the series of draws in the First Divisions Twelve Jaatches have been played and Queen's P.R. these have been drawn, two won and two lost according to a list I have seen.-This seems wreng some Low but I cannot detect the fallacy at the moment of writing.) I am inclined to think that this is due to lack of bowling, and perhaps lack of taking a chance on declar. ing early. It is, course, asking for trouble to criticise a match one did not see but I should have thought K.C.C. might have taken
a bit of a chance and declared 30

"The game on the Club ground, though only a pick-up match, was very interesting. Major Gay played a most excellent knock and he is undoubtedly a bat of good Inter- Fort form. I am afraid, however, that he will not be with us for any long space, but while he is here I am prepared to guarantee that he will make any number of runs,
It is most interesting to find Lieut. Col. Christian returned to us again. A good many of us will re- call how splendidly he and White bowled in the 1912 Interport down here when we beat Walker's excel- Ient side by an innings. I see he is still getting wickets regularly.
