Drawn. ) Th's match commenced at Bristol to-day in fine weather before a large attendance. Sain fell during the night, and the batsmen had to be cautious. Sussex played Ranjitsinhji and G.

They were without their slow bowler. 8pry, who was unwell. Gloucestershire won the toss and batted first. Townsend was caught in the first over, and Rice ran himself out I with but 20 scored in forty-five minutes. After the none too promising start, Wrathall and Sewell, by patient and careful cricket, improved the position of their side considerably. The professional has seldom, If ever, scored at so slow a rate, but the wicket I favoured the bowlers. and was on the slow side. Buns were put on at a slow rate, though Sewell made sever 4'8 and added to the score at a greater rate tt?ll Wrathall. The 50 took seventy-five minutes, and then two bowling changes were made, Tate and Killick sharing the attack. Wrathall was bowled by Tate, having made 30 out of 75 in an hour and forty minutes.

YORKSHIRE V. LIANCASHIRE.1 I (JOHN TUNNICLIFFE'S BENEFIT). I (Re.fit of corresponding match in 1902: Lancashire,  M!; Yorkshire, 439 (for nve wickets). Drawn owing ) to r&in.] This return match, the proceeds of which are set I apart for the benefit of Tunnicliffe, commenced at Bradford to-day. There was a splendid attendance, fully 10,000 persons being on the ground half an hour before the time for commencing play. Unfortunately, there had been heavy rain during the night, and the wicket was not in a condition that suggested a full three days' cricket. Both sides were represented by their strongest teams. The toss was won by Lancashire, who batted first, Spoorer and MacLaren facing Hirst and Rhodes. Spooner was very uncomfortable to Hirst, who made the ball swerve awkwardly. In the first three-quarters of an hour three chances were missed off Rhodes, two being difficult, but the third one, offered by MacLaren to Whitehead at second slip when 15, was easy. The 50 was reached in just over an hour with no wicket down. When the score had reached 57 the first wicket fell, Spooner being easily caught at forward short leg. Then three more wickets Quickly followed, Tyldesley, Findlay, and Garnett all leaving for an addition of ten runs. MacLaren main- ta.ined a good defence, but found it very difficult to get the ball av/ay, only six runs accruing to him in half an hour. At lunch time MacLaren and Eccles were together, the score being 84 for four wickets. Score:— LANCASHIRE. First innings. Second innings. Spooner, c Hawke, b Haigh 33.

I SOMERSET V. MIDDLESEX. I [Result of corresponding match in 1902: Middlesex, 164 and 184; Somerset, 262 and 87 (for three wickets). Somerset won by seven wickets.] This match was commenced at Taunton this morning. The Middlesex team included Warner and Bosanquet in place of E. Beldam and Rawlin, who assisted in the 9.f.t of Essex, while Somerset were at full ?trength. Lionel Palatret, Phillips, and Cranfield re-appearing. The professional had been absent from two matches on account of an injury to his hand while assisting Lon- don County versus Derbyshire. Somerset, winning the ton. started with Braund and Lewis, to the bowling of jieldam and Hearne, and Lewis made a bad stroke in the slips in Hearne's first over. With a dozen on the board Hunt displaced Beldam. At 31 Lewis was .bowled by Hunt, and four runs later Johnn, who had succeeded, was caught off the same bowler. Braund played with the utmost care, being in over three quar- ters of an hour before he reached double figuz". There was a good crowd present, Buffalo Bill's and Sanger's Exhibitions being in the town. Braund batted sixty- five minutes for 15, and was caught off Hunt, who, assisted by the wind, was swerving greatly. Lee was soon dismissed, and Woods threw his wicket way. Palalet and Robson improved, matters adding 45 in three-quarters of an hour before lunch. Score:- SOMERSET. First innings. Second innings. Braund, c Douglas, b Hunt l9.

WARWICKSHIRE V. WORCESTERSHIRE.
WARWICKSHIRE V. WORCES- TERSHIRE. [Result of corresponding match in 1902: Worcestershire. 323 and 5 (for one wicket); Warwickshire, 223. Drawn.] There was a splendid attendwe when this match wero;neJPI:fdid;a.rl:h. me had been considerable rain overnight, and, with the bright sun, the wicket was rather difficult. Worcester- shire played H. Foster and Simpson-Hayward, in place of Pearson and-Isaac, and Whittle and Devey camo in the home side instead of Kinneir and Field. Warwickshire won the toss, and made an inauspicious I start, Fishwick leaving at 2 and Byrne at 15, both leg before. The scoring was very slow with Quaife and Loveitt together, and, after 20 had been made in forty minutes, the amateur was well stumped. Play was very tame so far as run-making was concerned, Arnold bowling finely, and, after Quaife had been batting thirty-five minutes for one run, he was beautifully beaten. LiHey was badly missed by Foster a¿{ before he had scored. Later he made a bad return to Wilson, who, through a misunderstanding, let the chance pMS. Lflley then got Arnold for a couple of boundaries, and four to Devey brought up the 50 in an hour and twenty-five minutes. Keene displ&ced Wilson, and got Lilley caught at cover from a wretched stroke at 58. At 66 Arnold beat Devey, who batted sixty-five minutes. Score:— WARWICKSHIRE. First innings. Second innings.

DERBYSHIRE V. HAMPSHIRE. [Result of corresponding match in 1902: Derbyshire, 373 and 216; HAnts, 341 and 12 (for no wicket). Drawn. ] The weather at Derby this morning was dull and threatening, but, although there had been a consider- able amount of rain during the night, it was quite possible to make a start at the usual hour. The I wicket, though soft, was easy enough, and Hampshire, winning the toss, naturally decided to take first innings. The start they made was a bad one, Steel playing the first ball into the hands of the wicket- keeper. Sprot and Stone afterwards made runs with- out much difficulty, and at 36 Storer took the ball from Warren, and seven runs later caught and bowled the professional. Read did not give much trouble, but Sprot continued to bat in fine style. At 94 he was secured by the wicket-keeper. At lunch half the side were out for 108. Score:- HAMPSHIRE. First innings.

LEICESTERSHIRE V. PHILA- DELPHIANS. A [No fixture in 1902.] A nne morning followed upon a rainy night at Leices- ter, and the wicket had dried sufficiently to permit of a start being made with this match at the usual hour. The visitors won the toss, but started badly, for Graves, who opened with Wood, at once fell to a catch at slip. Lester followed in, nd runs came slowly off the bowling of Stocks and King. \v ood, ifter scoring 16 ot the total of 22, was caught at slip. Then Letter had King for his colleague.

KENT V. ESSEX.
KENT V. ESSEX. [Result of corresponding match in 1902: Kent, 273 and 63 (for three wickets); Essex, 331. Drawn.] Although bright sunshine prevailed for the opening of the sixty-second Canterbury Week on the St. Law- rence Ground to-day, the start was delayed in conse- quence of heavy rain in the early hours. Essex, who defea.ted Kant at Leyton at Whitsuntide by four wickets, and Worcestershire are the visiting elevens. The Essex side is the same as-went down before Middle- sex, except Douglas for Buckenham. while Kent played Mason and Hutchings instead of Hardinge and Fair- service. There was a capital attendance. A start was made at one o'clock, Essex winning the toss and taking first knock. Fane and Sewell opened the batting to the bowling of Blythe (at the pavilion end) and Hearne. The cricket was decidedly quiet, the professi'^al at first scoring the faster, though he made a coujjle of uppish strokes, one realising the first boundary in the game. Perrin made seven out of the next ten, and then was clean bowled, while M'Gahey, for the third time in SUCCBSS, failed to score, playing Blythe's third delivery into that bowler's hands. With three down for 38, Kortright arrived, and despatched Hearne for four and three, the score at luncheon reading 48 for three wickets. Score:- ESSEX. First innings.

Maclaren and Warner. I Why men don't go to church has been a lucrative copy producing subject for one of our London dailies for some time past (saye the" Sporting Life "), but everyone doubting the assertion would at once disabuse their minds had they seen the crowd of men and many ladies who besieged the doors of St. Mary-at-Hill, Monument, on Sunday even- ing to hear the subject that is all important to cricketers the wide world over discussed by the up-to-date, crowd-drawing pastor, the Rev. W. Carlisle. The pith of the rev. gentleman's very eloquent remarks, after touching on the remarkable performances Mr. MacLaren had accomplished in the past, especially so re- cently as last week, when he made 204 not out against Gloucestershire, was that it would be more gentlemanly and sportsmanlike on Mr. MacLaren's part to "be clothed" with humility," and accept the inevitable by taking a back seat."

The Lord Mayor, the Duke of Norfolk, Mr. Roberts, M.P., and Alderman Langley, M.P., joined in welcoming the delegates to Sheffield.

FOLLOWERS AND HOLIDAYS

The case was one in which Walte Allen, a cook, was charged with stealing pr** perty worth L14 from the residence of a Mr. Henry Gooch.—Emma Elvey, a "confidential servant," said that she had "walked out" with the prisoner for three months, and, unknown to her master, he had been in the habit of visit- ing her. When she missed the property ahc called in the police.—In remanding the man, the Magistrate said that he had had caset before him in which servants had taken inu- their employers' houses men who were per feci strangers, and who, it turned out, had onit just been liberated firom penal servitude
TO SEE IN THE FOG .
TO SEE IN THE FOG A Paris municipal councillor, named H. Deaplas, has a prospect of going down to pos- terity by reason of an idea which will pro- bably be put into operation during the winter. Of late years Paris has had no reason to chaff London in the matter of fogs. The "City of Light," too, has had fogs, and it is the idea of illuminating the streets, giving them a pic- turesqueness and variety, besides serving a. useful purpose, during fog time. that hae occurred to M. Desplas. His project is simply to put coloured glass in certain lamps. Thus if one wanted to find one's way to a stopping- place for tramcars during the fog one would be helped by the appearance of a green light. Police-stations could have red lights with in- scriptions in white letters. Ambulance star tions could be identified by the Geneva cross in red in a white bottom, while the lights at the fire-stations might with advantage be made blue. One thing in favour of the idea is that it would not cost much to put it into operation. Several papers are taking kindly to the notion, and urge that the streets should have the new lights indicated before the fogs of December.

PAPAL ELECTION.I t——.——
PAPAL ELECTION. I t ——. —— Cardinal Rampolla said to be Leading. WATCHING SMOKE SIGNALS FROM THE VATICAN. The election of a new Pope is taking place Ot Rome, but so far without any decisive result. Altogether, four ballots have been taken, and it was unofficially reported that Cardinal Rampolla is a strong favourite, but "° far he has been unable to obtain the two- thirds majority necessary for his election". The first ballot took place on Saturday horning, and smoke was seen issuing at a Quarter paet eleven from the chimney con- nected with the stove within the Conclave in "bilch the voting papers of the cardinals are horned. This indicated that the first baJlot had been without result. The smoke lasted twelve minutes. The character of the smoke, it may be Explained, indicates whether a new Pope has been elected or not, as in the case of an indecisive vote the papers are burned amid damp straw, giving a dense white smoke, while in the event of a cardinal having been elected no straw is added, and the smoke is thus comparatively thin and scanty. It transpired that in the first ballot Car- dinal Rampolla obtained the largest number of votes, with Vannutelli, Oreglia, Gotti, and Agliardi in the order named. It is reported that Cardinal Gibbons obtained two votes. The result of the second ballot showed that Cardinal Rampolla had obtained the largest number of votes, followed by Cardinals Van- nutelli and Di Pietro, with Cardinals Oreglia, Capecelatro, Gotti, Agliardi, and Svampa Placed afterwards in the order given. The Cardinals resumed work on Sunday. Cardinals Rampolla and Vannutelli (says the Central News) were still in the forefront in the third ballot, but Cardinals Gotti and Di Pietro had gained some ground. The fourth ballot, in the afternoon, has also proved indecisive. An enormous crowd had collected in St. Peter's-place in the belief that the ballot would prove effective, while Preparations had been made in St. Peter's for the proclamation of the new Pope. At 6.40, however, there appeared the smoke which told the watchers that the ballot papers were being burned after another indecisive vote. Cardinal Rampolla obtained nearly 30 votes, while Cardinal Vannutelli obtained only 10. The prospects of Cardinal Rampolla have considerably improved. To-day's Voting I ■"■ome, Monday.—This morning the balloting of the cardinals was again indecisive. The srnoke from the burning voting papers was 82en issuing from the Sistine Chapel at 11.16 a m- It was watched by a crowd numbering about 2,000 people. Rome, Monday.—The fifth vote has been taken, but the smoke from the chimney at half-paet eleven indicated that it was without definite result. A large crowd in the Grand Square of St. Peter's made manifestations of irritation and discontent, when it was seen that this vote, too, had proved abortive.
THE KING AT COWES.I
THE KING AT COWES. I Promise of Successful Yachting Week. The first day of the Cowes yachting week has opened with a bright sun and a strong Westerly wind, which indicates fast sailing races. The weather on the whole looks better. Yachts have been coming quickly since the .arrival of the King last night, and the road- stead is now full. The first race, timed to start at ten o'clock, is a handicap for yachts exceeding 100 tons for the Vice-Commodore's Cap. The second race is for schooners exceed- Ing 150 tons, the German Emperor's Meteor being the scratch boat. The third race, for the 52 footers, is expected to prove a good one, all four boats being entered. Irex is the scratch boat in the cruisers' handicap, and there are other races for cruisers exceeding SO tons and cruisers under 30 tons. COWES, Monday (Noon). The wind has freshened, and there is now too much for the small cruisers. The Bryn- hild broke her gaff just before the start for the first race, and the Therese lost her bow- sprit about one minute later, reducing the starters in that class to Namara, Bona, and Valdoi-a. The Bona was leading on coming back through Cowes Roads. Evelyn was the only non-starter in the schooners' race, 1I1 which Meteorigot well away.
BURIED ALIVE I
BURIED ALIVE I Russian Woman's Horrible Fate. I A telegram to the Daily Mail" says that a terrible occurrence is reported from the South Russian town, Novocherkash. The wife of a landed proprietor in the vicinity having died, the Orthodox priest persuaded the "widower to have her buried at once on account of the excessive heat, which was likely to hasten decomposition. After the funeral, however, the bereaved husband began to feel very uneasy, and on the third day he asked the priest's permission to exhupae the body to leerf his wife were really dead. When the coffin was opened a terrible sight presented ltself to the horror-stricken husband. There had evidently been a great struggle, as through the ignorance of the priest the woman had been buried while in a comatose state.
KIDNAPPING A BRITISH AGENT…
KIDNAPPING A BRITISH AGENT I A Bucharest correspondent states that M. Kyriakides, the agent in Roumania of the British Steamship Owners' Association, who is a Turkish subject, was arrested at Snlina on the 15th of last month in the dead of the night by the order of the Public Prosecutor of Toultcha, and consigned to solitary, con- finement. The exertions of the Ottoman Consular authorities succeeded in getting him placed on board a steam tug for Toultoha, whither an order for his release had preceded him. This high-handed piece of kidnapping has excited much feeling in the Roumanian capital, since zeal in the performance of his duties is the only fault that can be alleged against him.
REVIEW OF 10,000 TROOPSI
REVIEW OF 10,000 TROOPS I To-day in Cark Park his Royal Highness the Duke of Connaught, commanding the forces in Ireland and the Third Army Corps, held a full-dress review of 10,000 troops of all arms. The day being a Bank Holiday and the leather fine, there was an immense a.tten- dance of spectators.
MYSTERIOUS MALADY I
MYSTERIOUS MALADY I Alone among English towns Cambridge spends Bank Holiday under the shadow of a fjtrange sickness with which the local health authorities (have been ineffectually fighting during the past six weeks. The ma-lady is offi- cially notified as small-pox, but this is admit- tedly a somewhat inadequate, perhaps an :0. exaggerated, description of the disease. It is 80 called because it resembles small-pox more than it does any other known sickness. Some niedical men in Oambridge and London incline to the view that a new disease has broken out in the race, selecting Cambridge as its start- ing point. In other quarters the theory i8 seriously advanced that influenza is the malignant Dwjent of this new disease, just as a similar SQepicion attaches to the otherwise unac- countable prevalence of appendicitis in re- OOnt. years. While medical science is theo- rising and diagnosing, the lQcal guardians and doctors are grappling with the outbreak in a hasiness-like manner, which inspires the im. pression that they will soon succeed in cleans- Ing their bill of health. Already the town is feeling the pinch of isolation, as though a "all had been thrown up around the borough, ahutting in its inhabitants and shutting out the rest of the world, notably tourists, who claim the right to consider nobody's feelings w. oW&

Penarth Competition I A walk for the residents of Penarth from the Olive Arms Hotel to St. Andrew's and Wenvoe and back through Cardiff to Penarth took place on Saturday. There were 26 starters, and the distance was sixteen miles. Councillor W. Jones, J.P., was the starter. There were nine prizes, the value of which ranged from L6 down to 10s. 6d. The winners were as follow:—1st, James Griffiths; 2nd, J. Jenkins; 3rd, F. Paterson; 4th, E. Franks; 5th, A. Eyles; 6th, W. Youde; 7th, W. Thomas; 8th, W. Watkins; 9th, S. Chick. Seven other competitors completed the distance within the time limit, viz., 3h. 15min. Griffiths's time was 2h. 49min. 35sec. There were a large number of spectators, amongst whom a col- lection was made in aid of the Nurses' Insti- tute Pena.rth Branch). We understand a fair amount was realised. Canton Poet v. J. Elias I The walking match arranged between W. Read, the fOanton Poet," and Jim Elias, of Conybejire-road, Canton, took place to-day, in favourable weather, the competitors starting from the Canton Hotel, Llandaff-road, at ten o'clock this morning. The distance to ba covered was 25 miles, viz., to the first mile- stone beyond Cowbridge and back to the Canton Hotel. Eliae, who was the younger man by about eight years, conceded the "poet" limin. per year-that is to say, a start of 12min. Mr. A. J. Green acted as timekeeper, Mr. E. Murley as starter, and Mr. F. J. Barry as referee. The men left the mark promptly at ten o'clock, and Elias very quickly took the lead, holding an advantage of fifteen yards when leaving the outskirts of Canton. It was understood, however, that the "poet" was very confident of winning on his time allowance, and that at the outset he was making no serious effort to maintain an equal pace with his adversary. A large crowd gathered outside the Canton Hotel to witness the finish. W. Read, the Canton Poet," won easily, leaving J. Elias a mile and a half behind. He finished in the good time of 3h. 44min. 25sec. Result. There was a tremendous crowd to witness the return outside the Canton Hotel. W. Read, on the way home, led some parts of the way by a mile and a half, and walking grandly at the finish accomplished the dis- tance (25 miles) in 3h. 44min. 25sec. actual time. Counting in his time allowance, he won by 261min., Elias time being 3h. 47min. 40sec. Inter-ulub Walk at Barrv The chief event at Barry to-day was 01 the inter-club walk, and in which a great amount of interest was centred. There were 54 entrants for the six prizes offered-six from the R.A.O.B. Club and Institute, ten from the Barry Dock Conservative Club, three from the Oadoxton Conservative Club, one from the Wyndham Conservative Club, nineteen from the Unionist Club, and fourteen from the Barry Dock Liberal Club, the majority of whom faced the starter for the twenty- mile tramp, from the gasworks at Barry, through Cardiff, Ely, Wenvoe, and Beggars' Well to the starting point. The walk was a well-con tested one throughout, but the heavy state of the roads told upon the competitors. Jim Courtenay, the pugilist, who was a hot favourite, m/tde the pace, and led for a con- siderable distance. The officials of the walk were:—Referee, Mr. Joe Sheldon; judges, Messrs. W. Davies, J. Lloyd Jones, O. Horton, G. Davies, D. Housden, R. Powell, A. Seaton, and James Watts; timekeeper, Mr. George Wareham.

TRAIN TRAGEDY. I
TRAIN TRAGEDY. I Passenger's Mysterious Death. SINGULAR AFFAIR IN NORTH WALES. Early yesterday morning the railway officials at Bangor received instructions to search the line between Llanfair and Holy- head for a man who fell from the express which left Euston at fifteen minutes past eleven on Saturday night near a tunnel at Eodorgan. They discovered a man named Evans, stated to be a commercial tra-veller from London. He was removed to the hospital at Holyhead, dying almost directly after admission. A bank-book with credit of L14 was found upon him, .and his watch, which was discovered by the side of the rails, had stopped at 3.45 a.m. The officials are very reticent, but it is stated that the man was very annoying on the way1 from London towards hie fellow-passengers, who in conse- quence locked him in a lavatory. Having broken the windows of the lavatory, it is assumed that he etepped on to the footboard, and was caught by the side of the tunnel at Bodorgan.
LABOUR RIOTS.I
LABOUR RIOTS. I Strikers Charged by French I Military. Hennebont (France), Monday.—The collision here between the strikers and infantry soldiers yesterday occurred at the con- clusion of the meeting held by the former in a meadow outside the town. When they returned to town the troops endeavoured to intercept them, while gendarmes attempted to carry off the banner of the syndicate which became necessary to call out the troops at the barracks. Other posts were warned, and soon all the military arrived on the scene. The infantry made a barrier across the Rue Neuve and fixed bayonets. After the first summons to disperse the strikers main- tained their ground, and stones were thrown at the soldiers. The spectators and passers- by, who had mingled with the strikers, soon caught the excitement. After the customary three summons the infantry fired with blank cartridge, paving stones meanwhile being thrown from all sides. Women fainted and spectators took to flight, while the strikers, in a state of gJjgat excitement, con- tinued to hurl stones at the troops. Even- tually, the latter gained the day. A gen- darme, a lieutenant of the Chasseurs, a soldier of the infantry regiment, and an officer in command were injured. A woman was severely wounded in the hand. Sixteen persons were arrested. All the shops are shut by order of the Gendarmerie, and the streets are empty. Indescribable excitement prevails in the town. Madrid, later.—A general strike has broken out at Barcelona. Great precautions have been taken.
TIMBtR THEFT AT CARDIFF
TIMBtR THEFT AT CARDIFF At the Glamorgan Assizes to-day (before Mr. Justice Channell) Timothy Driscoll (35) and Robert Leary (62), labourers, were indicted for stealing a quantity of timber, the pro- perty of Messrs. Williams and Thomas, on the 15th/ of July, at Cardiff. The evidence for the prosecution was that the prisoners were seen to take the timber from a stack on the wharf. Driscoll said the timber was dunnage given him by a mate, and he produced a pass. Leary said he was engaged by Driscoll to do a hobble for him.—The jury found Driscoll guilty and Leary not guilty. Driscoll was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. Mr. Gwyn Morris prosecuted. Mr. Morris asked his lordship to allow £1 186. 9d. for the carriage of the timber. —The Judge said that was a high charge for timber worth only £1 10s. All that was neee&- sary was that a sample of timber should be brought to prove it was not firewood.—Mr. Morris said the charge included the truck and that the return carriage would be 19s. 4d. —The Judge advised the sale of the property at Swansea, and, at any rate, declined to interfere with the taxing-master's discretion.
IAN EXCITING CAPTUREI
AN EXCITING CAPTURE Before Sir A. de Rutzen, at Bow-street, on Saturday Fred Friend, well dressed, was charged with burglary. Aft four o'clock that morning a Mr. Matthew Robert Pank heard a slight noise outside his door while he was in bed. He then discovered his watch and chain had gone, and, slipping on his trousers, ran downstairs. He was just in time to see the prisoner leaving by the front door with his coat and two walking-sticks in his hand. Observing that he was being followed, prisoner dropped these articles and ran away. The prosecutor gave chase, and the prisoner see- ing that his pursuer was bare-footed, dashed a glass bottle which he had in his pocket on to the pavement. With some difficulty Mr. Prank picked his way among the fragments, and after a full ten minutes' chase he over- took the prisoner in Dyott-street. There he pinioned him against a wall, and held him until a constable arrived. When searched at the police-station prisoner was found to be in possession of the prosecutor's gold watch and chain, a pair of sleeve links, a gold stud, and some silver spoons, worth £ 27. He also had upon him a skeleton and other keys, one of which opened the front door of prosecutor's house. Prisoner pleaded guilty, and was re- manded.
IIPRESENTATION TO THE EARL…
PRESENTATION TO THE EARL OF DUNRAVEN At the close of the annual training of the Sharpshooters—the 3rd County of London Im. perial Yeomanry-under command of the Earl of Dunraven, which included an inspection by General Baden-Powell, an interesting presen- tation was made. Colonel Parke, C.B., who commanded the original regiment of Sharp- shooters in South Africa, presented Lord Dun- raven, on behalf of the officers of the Sharp- shooters who served with him in South Africa, with a silver statuette of a mounted sharp- shooter, in recognition of his valued services in raising the regiment.
ITHE KING'S PRIVATE BAND !
I THE KING'S PRIVATE BAND It has been decided that the King's private band, which consists of 34 of the best musi- cians in the oountry, shall be disbanded at the end of September. The present band, which is conducted by Sir Walter Parratt, is the successor of many others retained by Royalty for the past four or five centuries to perform music during the Royal meals and on State occasions of a private or semi-private character, but it is felt that the changed con- ditions of the present day render the reten- tion of a band of picked musicians, who must hold themselves in readiness to perform at any moment, unnecessary. It is probable that another band, differently constituted, will take its place.

Glamorgan's Last Home Match.
Glamorgan's Last Home Match. RETURN FIXTURE WITH WILTSHIRE. [Result of last match at Chippenham: Glamorgan won by five wickets.] Glamorgan played the last home fixture of the season at Cardiff to-day. The weather was gloriously fine, and, with the conditions so favourable, it was not altogether surprising to find one of the largest crowds ever seen on the morning of a county match at the park. A. M. Miller captained the Wiltshire Eieven, which was at full strength, with the exception of W. I E. S. Modlicott and C. II. Kansome. Winning the toss, •J. H. Brain sent in Norman it ches and H. E. Morgan. A disastrous start was made, the Penarth captain r0- turning a ball to Overton before he had scored. Smith, who was bowling at the other end, was taken off when 20 runs had been scored, and Newman given a trial. The change was effective, the new bowler beating Riches' with a ball of good length when the score stood at 27. Russell and A. E. Peatfield were next together, and the Merthyr man, after making two singles, gave an easy chance to Smith at mid-on off Overton, but the ball was dropped. At 8 tho same batsman gave a second chance off Newman, but Smith again dropped the ball. With two runs added Peat- field gave his third chance, and was this time taken In the slips off Smart's bowling. Three wickets were down for 46 when J. H. Brain joined Russell, who was batting in very good style. Smart had only sent down & couple of overs before being taken off, and Overton bruught back. The 50 went up after an hour's play and at that tinie-half-past twelve-over a thousand people had passed through the gates. Smith returned to the attack at 61, but met with no success, the next wicket—that of J. H. Brain-falling to Overton. Ban- croft had not been in the company of Russell for more than an over before the latter was unlucky in yiug a ball from Smith on to his wicket after scoil-I ?l L by excellent cricket. His top score included oni; one 4 and eight 2's. W. H. Brain followed, and Bancroft opened his account with a nice stroke to leg for a brace. Newman was again brought on in place of Smith at 80, hnd without any more nms being scored the luncheon adjournment was taken. Score:— GLAMORGAN. First innings. Second innings.

SURREY V. NOTTS. !
SURREY V. NOTTS. [Result of corresponding match in 1902: Surrey, 178 and 213; Notts, 203 and 4a (for no wicket). Drawn.] Though a good deal of rain fell c'nring the early hours of this morning, the weather, fortunately, im- proved, and cricket was possible at the advertised time at Kennington Oval in the return match between Surrey1 and Notts. The visitors are playing J. A. Dixon and IV. Gunn for Jiemingway ana J tester, who did duty against Kent last week while Holland (suffering from a chill) is away from Surrey, who have the assistance of E. M. Dowsson. Strict punctuality was observed, for twelve o'clock was striking wh,en Notts, having won the toss, began batting in the presence of 10,000 spectators, to the bowling of Smith and Lees. With the score taken to 25 Jones was caught at short-leg. W. Gunn and Iremonger forced the game on the slow pitch. The first-named, when 4, was missed at mid-on, while Iremonger, with his score 33, had a life at mid-off. The total having been taken ta <4, Gunn was finely taken at long-off. Having scored 63 out of 104 in an hour and a quarter, Iremonger was caught in the long field. He hit eight 4's, two 3's, and seven 2's in a most valuable innings. John Gunn and Branston (both missed) brought the score to 140 at lunch. Score:- j NOTTS. First innings. Second Innings. Jones, c Dowson, b Smith.. 7 Iremonger, c Hayward, b Lockwood 63 W.
