NOTES.

I A little matter which calls for some comment, and should be remedied by those to whom it applies, is the practice on the part of some players, and also spectators, of calling out to a fieldsman who is about to take a catch. This was very noticeable on the Showgrounds on Saturday, in the match between Freezing Works and the Old Boys (in which, by the way, no less than 14 wickets were accounted for by catches in the field), and shoujji be studiously avoided, as it is, to say the least, very unfair to 0 player, besides being unsportsmanlike. Another matter in the same match, which was somewhat conspicuous, was that of a bowler, who bowled right through both innings, without wearing cricketing flannels. This is hardly in keep'ing with senior cricket prestige, and it is certainly unfair to batsmen, who have to face a ball which has a darkcostumed bowler as a background. _ One other incident, which was responsible for the loss on Saturday of at least a couple of runs, was the presence of one of the players on the field as an umpire, with nothing to distinguish him from one of the side which was fielding. It is a great pity an Umpires' Association cannot be formed here. In the absence of this, players who perform the duty should take the precaution of putting on a coat, so tL.t batsmen may not mistake them for a man in the field.
