THE ENGLISH CRICKETERS.
There is a hitch in the negotiations with the English cricketers for the Christchurch visit. They demand twothirds of the total recipts after all expenses have been paid, and the Lancaster Park Company demand all the rest. They expect ten per cent, for the use of their ground. The Association have r&iuseA this, and require five per cent of the gross receipts, leaving the company and the cricketers to settle their own terms for the use of the ground. This is said to be a final offer on both sides, and as Mr Conway may probably refuse, it is very likely the team will not visit New Zealand at all. Last year it was definitely stated that their visit depended on the terms they could get at Christchurch. Cricketers here think the Englishmen's demand too high. — Exchange.
