— ♦ — CITY AND SUBURBAN ASSOCIATION In presenting the annual report and balance-sheet at the meeting ot the Uty and Suburban Cricket Association last night, the chairman (Mr. T. H. Langlcy) said that the past cricket season had been the most successful in the history ot tho association. Sixteen clubs had been affiliated, and the total number ot registered players was 226.
