Mr. J. R. Mason, a former Kent captain, is the county cricket club's, new president for the coming season. Ils election to that office, and the urgent need for economy to ease the financial situation, were the chief points in the annual general meeting of the club in London.
John Richard Mason was one of the finest amateur all-rounders who played for Kent since the days of Alfred Mynn.
He first played for Kent in 1893 and five years later succeeded Frank Marchant as the county lender, n position he held for five years. lis business as a solicitor prevented hirm from playing first-class cricket after 1000,

HAVE read that Macao is anxious of meeting the Combined Services after the Interport with Hongkong. I would suggest they play the Rest of the Colony instead. The Services were beaten by the Civilians this season and several of their men will also be included in the Interport the previous day, whilst a Rest team would include no Interporters and would make a better and stronger representative side.
