Obickbt. —The matohes which were to bo concluded on Saturday on the association ground fell through. Only one of the College Past and Present turned up, Trhich was hardly good cricketing form, seeing that the association eleven had fielded out the whole of the previous Saturday. It may be that the Ist being the opening of the shooting season had something to do with this, but noblesse oblige is a maxim which should hold good in the orioket field as elsewhere. Neither did the second eleven of the U. 0.0. turn up in their match against the Midland second eleven, and altogether the ground looked as if cricket was pretty nearly defunct for the present season.
