SEVENTEEN MEMBERS OF A STRONG PARTY.

THEIR CREDENTIALS.

[By P. F. Warner in the Observer] Some thirty years ago I was standing out in the long-field in a match between Antigua and Lord Hawke's XI. The local wickets were falling fast when a native apectator remarked: "Never mind, Mr. Pelham, sah, wo shall yet propel our flag among the nationa as de Colony which has humbled its Mudder."

This season the West Indies are to play three Tost matches in this country at Lord's 23, 25, 26, Old Trafford, July 21, 23, 24, and the Oval, August 11, 13, 14, when they will attempt to "humble" our erleketing pride, and their first venture in the sphere of inter- national cricket will be watched with sympathetic interest.
