Cricketing Mems

Writing under date August 20th tbe New Zealand Herald London correspondent says : —The ©rlokat season is rapidly nearing its close, and another week will see itt all over. Kanjitainhji has this very day established » new • record 'by scoring 220 for Subbcx , against) Kenb. For tbta is his 11th ! century daring th* season. No cricketer has ever before mads 11 innings of 100 and upwards in one year. Graoe made 10 centuries in 1 1871; Rmjitsiuhji did the same in 1896 ; Abel and Bayward have done it this year. Bub now Banji haß «gone one better, and made 11, He has dona even more than tins, however. He hal aotually made no fewer than five scores of over 200 this Beaaon. Grace never made more than two in ooe year. Banji's five are as follows;, all being for hit adopted county, Sussex :—275 against Leicester, 22g against Somerset, 220 against K«nt, 215againnti Oamliridge, 202 againab Middleasx. This it an absolute record in ail the history of odoket, and is nob likely to be beaten in a hurry, unless by the wonder ful Indian Prwce himself. Through hi* marvellous batting and skilful oapbaiiaey, Busser, the one famous mother county of cricket, has fought h« way thia season up to third place in the championship^beiDg headed only by ths • White and Red Roses, Yorkshire and Lancashire Yorkshire !b faoile pinoeps, having won 1b matohe*. without bains: onca defeated. Lan. oashire ia a good second: Surrey hos gone down the liib sadly; The moral is strikingly conclusive. Yorkshire is champion county because her newest bowler, Wilfrid Rhodes, U th« boat in England, and_ stands far at the head of the averages, with Hafgh,, the other newest Yorkshire bowler, ao exoellenb third.

Lord Roberts Leniency

Civic, of the Olago Daily Times, atyat— The belief is general that Lord Roberts has frnnh'e* the later stages of the war. There ha* bf oi- t xcesß of leniency. Boers aworn to allegiance or paroled after capture or voluntary submission have been allowed to play fatb and loose with their oath. Petiary, treachery, conoealmenb of arm>, have paused without adequate punishment. There have been no bangiogs, not confisca tions : only in A* oa9° of Cordua---the miscreant who took the oath and then plofcbad to murder British officers and kidnap the Commander in Chief-in that single oase alone has there been any display of a wholesome military severity. And so, month after month, the weary war drags ©n because Lord Koberta—so his cntfoa are iavinc—lacks the aerve to play the Provost marshal. Now, I can sb. quite take that view. I*, may be the view of wuer men than myself; all the same I must stand by my own--which is thab the dragging on of the war is the penalty exacted of us for being a great and magnanimous people. The higher virtues are generally expenses. What kind of magnanimity would that be thab •hould cost us nothing? The Bow, exo nerating as their obstinacy m, have a claim to be treated with magnanimity. I am thinking of the rank and file, not of their rawally leadera. For their ignorance, for the deceits thafe have been played upon ih«m, as well as fur their mUenea, the Boers deserve pity ; for bhe dogged obstinacy of their devotion to a lost cause they deserve admiration. I confess that I should like to see a few of them strong up- four encourage? ks autres, aa Napoleon need to say in like case-but! that is merely my own personal feeling. lam not a fair representative of the magnanimity of the great nation to which I belong. In spite of my weakness tor strong measures I take the view that Lord Roberts must be right), acd that the Imperial Government—which in this matter as in others is doubles at the back of him —has chosen the one course that befits the greatness and the splendour of its world Wide Imperiuim. _,
