CRICKET NOTES.

TUB LATE MH FOKP, (By Cover-Point.) The cables on Tuesday ami'unuutl tliu ilealh 01' .Mr W. J. Ford, " the well-known Middlesex and University cricketer." Horn in November, ISfiH, Hut deceused gentleman was tnughl Die rudiments of cricket at Kepton School, and graduated at King's College, Cambridge, which he represented in inter-collage, matches, lie never gained his "I>'lue" and only Ijlayed for Middlesex on two occasions. The cable man is evidently in error in describing him as the ■'wellknown cricketer." The Ford family contained six well-known cricketers, and \V. .1. was uuenicstionahly the duller of the family. F.U..1. of that ilk was the celebrity of the family, ami visited Australia with Sloddurt'.. t.nin in 1895. Local i-.Mx't is dying hard this season, and several Interesting mntclies have eventuated duting the past week. Messrs Brown's team has shown remarkable vitality, and I hope this new team will persevere, as H contains some promising cricketers, not to mention the older players I'otler and Kudkin. They Hew' at very high flame when they Journeyed to l.'renui on Good Friday, to meet the. local team, and were defeated iby eight wickets. Tho Jirownites batted first, and a rough turf wicket puzzling them considerably, they i only managed to score .'l4. The - Urcuiii bowling was capital, and the fielding really lirst-rate. 1 have no hesitation in saying that the fielding of the Frenin lrt>.\s is thci U-st I have sewn ill Tnpamnki, and I can account for over Iweiity seasons. I'renui scored Hi). The saw millers did better in the svrond innings, scoring iVi, which left the home team 21 to make to win, which task they accomplished for the loss of two Wickets. Another team deserving of the higihesl praise is. that representing the Herald. For a iirst season they have done well, the great; want being a good practice ground. This team went to 'Ualrurutanyji on Easter Monday, and played tho local toam, who won by ten wickets. ANSWERS. F.P.—Out of my latitude. Write lo the president of the Northern Association. W,— Nothing. Iws bleoji doimj in tho matter yet. S.K.—A wide hall does not count in the over. This is the silxth time I have answered this {question. Batsmun.—l shall be pleased to give you the address of either Thompson or Ilargreave, either of whom would buy yon a sultnil(lc bat. They recommend Wisden. The cost would be about £l. or 255.
