OBITUARY.

Priss Association—By Electric Telegraph- Copyright. London, October 29 Lord Rosmead died suddenly. He retired from the position of Governor of Oape Colony and High Commis sioner of South Africa early in the present year owing to ill-health. Washington, October 29 The death is announced of Mr Henry George from apoplexy, brought on by exhaustion and over work. It was recently announced that Mr George was the nominee elect of the Pocir. lists for the Mayoralty of Greater New York.

Henry George was born in Philadelphia in 1339, and was educated at the publio schools. After being in a counting house and going to sea he learned something of printing. In 1858 he went to California, where he worked at case till 1866 when he became a reporter, and afterwards edited the San Francisco Times and Fast. In 1880 he removed to; Hew York. While on a visit to Ireland in j 1881 ha was twice arrested.as a "suspect." I Mr George was well known as the promul gator of the doctrine of the "single tax," and wrote numerous works on economic questions, the most widely known being *' Progress and Poverty." He made several lecturing tours, including one through Australia in 1890. In 1886 he was Labor candidate for the Mayoralty of New York, polling 68,000 votes against 90,000 for his Democratic opponent and 60,000 for the Republican. Between 1887 and 1890 Mr George published the Standard, a weekly paper, in New York.

New Yoek, October 31. Fifty thousand artisans will follow Henry George's funeral.

_Enff-islim@-i v South Australia.

AdeIiAIDB, October 31. Yesterday saw a record attendance at the 3)val. Ranjitainbji showed better c icket .nan on the preceding day. He had another life at 154, although the chance was a difficult one. Afterwards he punished the bowling hotly, and with Hearne and Storer together the spectators were treated to a I .lively game. The innings closed for 475. j Sfcoddart was suffering from a severe attack I •of influenza and did not bat.

In the South Australian second innings Hill banged both Richardson and Hirst all over the field with great vim, but had two narrow escapes of being run out. Lyons looked like the Lyons of old with his brilliant clean drives. The following are the scores:—

Bowling .Analysis.-—Jones, 7 for 190; Green, 1 lor 3.2 ; J> vanp, 1 for 93; Lyons, 0 for 29; Jarvis, D for 50; Reedman, 0 for 50.

Griffen's Retirement.

Adelaide, October 30. The Register, commenting on Giffenß re tirement, while recognising his great merits as a cricketer, and the splendid service he lam done for the colony, says even champion 'players are not indispensable. While Gififen lias done much for South Australian cricket, cricket has done more for Giffen. It adds •tha* the South Australian Eleven for some 'time past has not been a one-man team. «i)nce it was, and Gifien's withdrawal will mj.rve to stimulate young players to do their utmost to obtain worthy prominence.

The following will represent the Ash burton Cricket Club in the cup match v. Rakaia, to be played in the Domain:— Denshire, .Pritchard, Dixon, Cox, Hart, Beckett, G, Andrews, Marsden, Powell, Morrissey, Priest. Emergency—Curtis.

The Cricket Concert.

The annual concert, given by the local 'Cricket Club, was held on Show night in the Oddfellows' Hall, at which there was a large attendance. Theprogramme wasasusual in two parts, both of which were opened by the Orchestral Society, the overture " Lucia ■di Lammermoor " being the first item, and the second agavotte, "The Gaiety," com posed by Mr F. Russell, of Ashburton, who is not unknown in the district as composer. The arrangement for the band was made »by Mr H. A. Gates. The gavotte is a tuneful . production, and went smoothly and with 'sweetness, and doubtless, if the composer ishould elect to put it into score for the ; piano, it would soon become a very popular ipiece. The mandolin and guitar band, 'under Mr Llewellyn Owen, also contributed 'two pieces, both arranged by the conductor, ■and these, like the contributions of the j Orchestral Society, were heartily applauded. Tae concert gave an opportunity to the Club of introducing to Ashburton for the firßt time Miss Mand Graham, a lady who .has made quite a name for herself amongst tiho musical people of Christchurch by her tas.teful -inging- Her contribution was the grand old ballad " Ben Bolt, a piece that .gave the fair fiantatrice every opportunity for expressive singing, and at the close of her charming exposition of the song, she gave in response to an encore a song new to Ashbarton, "I trust you still." Mrs C. M. Brooke was heartily welcomed back to vaahburtott, and sang "The Carnival" in her usual graceful style, responding to «n encore with " Comin' thro' ihe Rye." Her second aong was one that !has been rather hackneyed here of late, •"Bid me to love," but it was still new i*nd Iresh in her hands, aod the violin •obbtigato by Miss Packer added to its charm. Mrs Benshire's "May morn" was the finished piece of vocalisation that Mrs Den shires efforts always are, and an encore was inevitable. Mr Topbam sang " Rocked in the cradte of the deep" in a manner that 'couldnotlfail to impress, and MrR. D. Wilson, who sang the negro song "Yer babies are coming to town" was successful with his 'number and was encored. Mr F. E. Perry

recited a racecourse poem tellingly, and in response to an encore contiibuted a bit of Uriah, humor. This ventriloquial sketches of Mr H. H. Rayward were very amusing in deed, and the audience were thoroughly 'entertained while this performer occupied 'the boards. A bit of " nigger " business by "The Cupids," entitled " Rastus on parade,' was heartily relished, and the same performers gave " Slocum's Dog," as a send off, and the fun of the thing kept everybody in humor. Mrs Claridge was accompanist throughout, and Mr Gordon conducted the Orchestral Society. At the .close of the concert, just before the anthem was sung, Mr Purnell, in name of the Club, thanked the audience for the support given, and the for the aid lent to the Club.
