NOTTS CRICKET CLUB.
TURNED DOWN BY DUKE
(Received 11 a.m.)
LONDON, February 24.
Mr. H. A. Brown, secretary to Notts County Cricket Club, wrote asking the Duke of Portland whether he would preside at the annual meeting on March 21.
The Duke's secretary replied: "The Duke desires me to inform you that owing to the result of the meeting of January lb", and the gross public insult to Dr. G. O. Gauld, then lion, secretary of the club, he is determined to have nothing further to do with' Notts Cricket Club."
At a public meeting in Nottingham in January, a vote of no-confidence in the committee was carried, and Dr. Gould, among others, was heckled on the subject of the committee's report on Voce's bowling methods. The committee then resigned.
