This and next suminer, they ennnot hope to receive any thing like these suins of money, and this may cause them to modify the programme, for in recent years even the strongest counties like Notts, Kent, and Surrey have recorded-à marked falling off in the gate re- reipts from purely county fixtures.
The report of the Notts Com- mittee, for instance, says: "Gate receipts in county matches resulted in heavy loss as compared with the five previous years, the falling off being 27 per cent. The total ink- ings for 13 home county matches were, only £1,025 (of which £1,557 was for the Surrey match) com. pared with £6,350 for 10 matches in 1029."
