Mr Hepworlh was voted to the chair. Mr J. Hopper briefly placed before the meeting what had already been done, and what the prospects of the proposed club were. He spoke of the Sydenham recreation reserve as being the best place for the club ground, and thought there would be no difficulty in obtaining the consent of the Sydenham Borough Council for the use of the reserve. He had very great pleasure in moving that this meeting forms itself into a cricket club. Mr Burly, in seconding the resolution, referred to the necessity of such n club being formed, as owing to the very excessive charges made by the association clubs, it was impossible for a great many to join them, and that the association, instead of furthering the interests of cricket, was frustrating the purpose it was meant for, and merely upholding it for some select few. The motion being carried unanimously, about fifty of those present gave in their names as members. It was decided that the club should be named the Addii gton Cricket Club, the entrance fee to be 2s 6d, annual subscription 7s 6d. The election of < fficers for the ensuing season resulted as follows :—President, Mr William White, jun.; vice-presidents, Messrs J. Hepworth and J. Booth ; secretary and treasurer, Mr W. T. Burly; captain, MrJ. Hopper. Messrs A. E. Milford and J. Simpson were elected members of iho general committee, and Messrs J. Parker, B. Jackson, and O. Aird members of the match committee. It was resolved that the opening match should be played on Saturday, October 16th. A hearty vote of thanks to the chairman and Mr Hopper brought the meeting to a close. SPRINGFIELD. A general meeting of tho Springfield Cricket Club was held at Cassidy's Hi to on Saturday, October 2nd, when it was resolved to reorganise the Club. The following officers were elected :—Treasurer, Mr Thos. Aitkon; secretary, Mr Oliver Evans, and a field committee of three was appointed to act as captains, consisting of Messrs Smith, Banks, and Evans. Several new matches were arranged for, and there seems a prospect of a prosperous season before the club. There ia yet considerable difficulty in the matter of a ground, but several volunteers who came to the front have partially cleared the police reserve near the station, and one or two goad wickets for matches will be at tho disposal of the club.
