WAVERLEY CRICKET CLUB.

The unsatisfactory state of the weather last night proved no determent to those who thought of patronising the Waverley Cricket Club concert and dance, for All Saints’Schoolroom was inadequate to accommodate comfortably the large audience which attended. Blr S S Blyers (president) occupied the chair, and in the course of some introductory remarks went on to speak of the clubs doings for the past season. The First Eleven had played in all sixteen matches, losing five and winning eleven—a very fair record, indeed. The speaker made special reference to the prowess of three members of the club (Messrs Cramond, Baird, and Eckhoff) the two [former for batting and the latter for bowling averages. Blr Cramond, in particular had one of the best, if not the best, of the batting averages for the season in junior cricket. The president concluded by thanking the performers for their services and the audience, for their attendance. The concert programme was a capital one though somewhat lengthy, and was contributed

to by Misses Oliver and Daisy Moore, and Messrs Carter, Myers, Deaker, Bert Hanlon, O. Peake, Telfer, Smith, and Popham. Mr Harry M’Cormiok’s recital of * Eugene Aram’s Dream ’ was a feature of the concert. Mr Lionel Cox’s mandoline band contributed a couple of selections of miscellaneous airs, and Mr Sheldon kindly whiled away a pleasant ten minutes with his dolls. Mias Wilson and Mr Cunningham shared the accompaniments. Over sixty couples stayed behind to dance, music for that purpose being supplied by Mr George Clarke; Messrs Chadwick and W. Pickard were the masters of ceremony, and a host of lady friends were found to dispense refreshments.
