The following particulars of the doings in the cricket field of George Lohmann (who accompanies Lord Sheffield to the colonies next season), since his first association with English first-class matches in 1884, should prove interesting at the present juncture : Batting: Inning, 245; times not out, 21; runs, 4,838; most in an innings, 116; avenge, 19.80.

The stakes for the Caulfield Cup have been raised to L 3.000. Lady Bell, Forest King, Leinster, and Assyrian King have been entered for the principal events at the Southland Racing Club's autumn meeting. Lancaster Park Cricket Club have a good record for the pait season. They are the holders of the senior challenge cup, having won all their matches.

We understand that the owner of Wayland was bo disgusted with the colt's running at Mosgiel on Easter Monday, and with the action of the Taieri stewards as reported in our Saturday's issue, that he took Bteps to immediately get rid of him. Wayland has now gone into Hankins's stable.
