INDIAN ORICKET TEAM FOR

ENGLAND.

An important discussion took place place at the meeting of the Bengal and Assum Cricket Associa tien on the subject of a representa tive Indian team visiting England in the summer of 1901. The object of the meeting was to consider a number of points detailed in letter from the Board of Cricket Control in India. The Bengal Asso- ciation was asked to give its con- Lsidered opinion on those points which included not only the possible In the evening Davis aggregated visit of an Indian team to England 688 for an average of 50, to his opin. 1931 but also the possibility of ponent's figures of 875 and 100.

TEAM.

In a bitterley contested match at San Mateo the Australian-Hawaiian team was beaten by a four goals stronger team representing the San Mateo and Burlingham Clubs. The score was eight to ten. Both teams fought neck and neck throughout, and, notwithstanding the greater local goal strength, the visitors were near triumph at all times.

Pearson was not up to usual form, but Beveridge, Skene, and Baldwin gars scintillating exhibi. tions. Skene's work was perhaps the most remarkable seen on the field this year, with Baldwin little inferior.

Skene hit four goals, Baldwin Perkins three, and Pearson one.
