CRICKET.

« _i ' ATTACK ON DISTRICT SCHEME. As stated previously tliis vreok, a faction of city cricketers are now busy working up an attack on the district 'scheme. The movement is highly suggestive of things colonial—plnnt a treo to-day and pull it up by the roots to-morrow to see how it is growing. That is a feature of our State legislation, and it is also a feature of our sport. Perhaps life in those little circumscribed islands would bo rather dull were it otherwise, and so vaudeville no doubt has its uses. It has for some 'ime been thought that the Y.M.C.A. Club had a. good deal to do with this, and, iu fact, some of their members have state! that, if the district scheme were broken up, they would enter as a senior club, and obtain a number of very prominent senior players. It now stem's ovident tlvat this cannot bo 1 the feeliuff of the 'whole of the Y.M.C.A. players or even of the majority of the club. The following letter makes quite plensont rending on this ninch-vcxed question.— Sir,—ln reference to a paragraph, • headed, "Attack on the District Scheme," that, appeared in lost Wednesday's issue, or your paper, I have been asked by several persons if the agitation emanated from the Y..M.C.A. Cricket Club. My committee ha; instructed me to givo this a frank denial.—l am, etc., F. W. REED, Hon. Secretary Y.M.C.A. Cricket Club. As stated above, this is very pleasant. It is currently, reported that tho whole • matter is being engineered by a few I "trouble steerers," and it. 'therefore j good to learn that the Y.M.C.A. Club will havo nono of it.
