...famous "petitions" for what are politely called "occasional brief indispositions," by the new regulations will be received.

We repeat that those whose skill in the old law has done so much for them will do well to conn the new with even greater care...

At schools, where cricket was almost unknown, it is now practiced with skill and success. Some of the members of '90 have played on their school teams, and others are more or less familiar with the game.
