THE CRICKET EPISODE.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE PBKfIS. Sir,—Sometimes after a little tiff cr trouble, a good laugh is a very wholesome thing. We have lia<Wrtir lime trouble on the last day of the crickefc mateh —a little ebullition of temper; but all to happily over so ftr as the cricket world is concerned. Explanations Jiave been made and received to the relief of asl those who are responsible in die matter, and we can look back with pleasure to one of the most interesting cricket nwUJhes that have taken place in Canterbury. And now comes the laughter. Mr Waymouth is nob satisfied 1 It might be asked, "Wiho is Mr WaymouUi?" Well, he has informed the public that he, as manager of the Frozen Meat Company, is the employer of Mr eims, and- that be is nob satisfied —and wfll not be satisfied until the English orioketere make such, on apology as will satisfy Mr Waymoutit—"Failing your obtaining this apology, I must wiwiaraw your leave of absence from this office for further matches against this team." It is too funny; but we sympathise with Mr Sims, who is made to represent in this matter, not the Cricket Association, but the Meat Company or Mr Waymouth.—Youre, etc.* CRICKET.
