The large drum and the six side-drums of the 2nd Battalion Gordon Highlanders, which were captured by the Germans Et Ostend in the "early days of the European War, and which since have been preserved in the Berlin Arris Museum, were handed over Berlin recently to General Sir Ian Hamilton.

London, February 10. DR. Jardine has resigned, the captaincy of the Burrey Cricket eleven, according to the "News Chronicle.”

The London newspaper adds that the resignation of Jardine does not imply that he will not captain the England eleven in the Tests against the Australians this summer. but that it is very unlikely that he will do so if he is not playing regularly in the Surrey eleven-Reuter.

Jardine, who is at present cáp- taining the M.C.C. side in India, was the captain involved in the The King sent ́a, message to leg. theory dispute during the last the Lords of his Council ip | M.C.C. tour in Australia. He suc- Scotland bearing ... that the above-mentioned particulars in

Should Jardine not captain' the England Test eleven the name of B. H. Valentine (Kent) comes readily to mind.
