The twentieth annual general meeting of the Indian Recreation Club, held on Wednesday, produced the usual comments from the Chair, the usual review of the past year's activities, and the usual ap- peal for more members...
With aspects of the meeting (the first held by a cricket club this year, I think) other than cricket. I am not concerned here. And, as the past season is still fairly fresh in the mind, I am not going to touch upon the club's success last year.
Reminded by a few short lines in their President's address, I pro pose to recall in detall a great feat by a great cricketer that happened only three years ago, and to add my own poor contribution in praise of his memory.
"The chairman, mentioned the club's regret over the death of two of its former members, Messrs. Sirdar Khan and F. D.' Pereira, who were held in high' esteem by all members of the club. Members stood.
up In silence for a short while as a mark of respect to them.”

PEREIRA-AND CHANCE But for chance, and the en- terprising vigilance of a merü-" ber of the LR.C., who shall be nameless, it is quite probable that Frank Pereira would have thrown in his lot with shother elab when he first arrived here -in which case, the history of localterloket for the past few years would doubtless read somewhat differently; How- ever, he was recruited into the Indian ranks and with them lived to perform one of the greatest bowling feats ever re- corded in any class of cricket, the dismissal of all ten men in one innings at the almost ri diculous cost of five runs,
