no Picking oftho Representative!

(to the editor,)

Sir,—While regretting that the picking of the ."Rep" team should end in a kind of fiasco, I really toil to see what elso the Northern delegate could do, but withdraw, • when the Southern delegates even refuso ft semblance of fair play to the teams that just have dofeated thorn, Though deprecating the practice of choosing an inferior man before an undoubtedly superior man of another club on the plea that each club should have a similar to represent them,everyone will agree that in many cases quality of merit is a matter of opinion, After making duo allowance for the choice of men like Thomas Baumber, J. Perry, Watson and ona or two more, about whose rights of precedence there is no question, the [best players of each club should get an show. lam glad to learn those 'picked from the northern county are going to stick to th'oir. delegate and refuse to identify themselves with a committee whose only 'sense of fair play consists in a brute .majority. I trust none of the other players will be found willing to act as gapatops. I have never been obis to understand ihow it is the two southern clubs have each a representative on the/ Committee 'wbjle the three senior oluba from here have only one to look alter their interest, lam etc,
