A meeting of the committee of tbe former will take place on Saturday to make the necessary arrangements. Some time ago at a meeting of sab ■cribers to the Birmingham Cricket Ground Fund it was decided to place the control of tho ground in the bands of a committee elected outside of tbe cricket club itself. This scheme was found to be unsatisfactory an<l a further meeting of all subscribers was held on Saturday night at which it was unanimously decided to place the ground tbe under tbe management of the Trustees. This means that tbe Birmingham Cricket Club will have control for tbe future. The Birmingham v. Cheltenham cham-pion-ship match resulted in n win for the former. The scores will appear in toiuoitow'h issue.
