Davis and D'Arcy Evans. Hobkirk bowled from the south end and D'Arcy Evans did not seem to see his medium fast deliveries as he missed the first four and then put his foot in front of the fifth and tried to play it to leg. However he falled to pennect and was 1.b.w. (9。J--0.}

I was, however, informed by Mr. A. K. Mackenzie, the hon. secretary, that the forms were actually do- spatched to the various clubs on January 25, thus giving a full fort- night for competitors to fill them in and return them. Unfortunately no form was received at that time in this office.
In view of this it is clearly unfair to accuse the Cricket Club of "rush- ing" the entries, and I regret the false impression given as to the procedure adopted.
It was further pointed out to me (this morning that the entries to date are quite saulistactory, and that the extension of the closing date for a week has been made chiefly to en- courage more entries in tie Club events,
