HAMILTON CRICKET CLUB. Annual Meeting.

The annual meeting of the Hamilton Cricket Club was held at the Commercial Hotel, Hamilton West, on Saturday evening last, Mr C. J. W. Barton in the chair. The treasurer read the balance-sheet for the season 1885-6, which showed a debit balance of £2 4s, against a similar balance of £2 on last year. Mr J. B. Whyte, M.H.R., was re-elected president, and Messrs E. Lake, M.H.R., and W. A. Graham vice-presidents ; Mr J. Vereker Bindon, secretary ; Mr Barton wa9 appointed treasurer, and Messrs Barton, J. Edgecumbe, Stevens Kirk and Radford the committee for the ensuing season. The secretary was instructed to invite the Paterangi Cricket Club to play at Hamilton on Saturday week, the 30th inst., and to ask the Tuhikaramea Cricket Club to fix a date to suit them after that to play either at Hamilton or Whatawhata. Mr Barton kindly presented a bat to the club, and Mr Forrest, whose departure from the district is deeply rogrptted, some pads. It was arranged that there should be practice on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays on Sydney Square, but it is hoped to have one of the&e days set apart for practice on the West side of the river, to suit the convenience of members who reside on that side. It is to be hoped that there will be a good muster for practice this after noon/at 4 [o'clock.
