An Indian Prince on Cricket.
A complimentary dinnar was given on September 29th at the Guildhall, Cambridge, England, to Prince Banjitsinhji, to celebrate his achievement in the cricket field, he having gained in this year the highest aggregate ever compiled by any batsman jn England in a single year, namely, 2780 runs, which yielded the average 57*44 per inninga. Dr Butler, the Master of Trinity, propoied tha health of the Prince, and Prince Ranjitainghji, in replying, said the visit of the Australians had, in his judgment, done a great deal to revive the interest in cricket in all parts of the British Empire. Cricket was not only a splendid game, but it tended to bring about a good feeling between Her Majesty's subjects all over the Globe. He hoped it would not be a long time before all Her Majesty's dominions formed a very happy family party, and trusted each other in a way not hitherto seen. Ha trusted that the wrongi that had been done in the past and tha injwtioa suffered would be forgotten, and that England and India might be enabled to form one united country ready to present a common front to a common enemy, and be the admiration, and it might be, perhapa the envy, of all other nations.
