LORD HARRIS.
Lord Harris's death makes a void in our sporting- personnel. The post-war generation ; cannot remember when Lord Harris and Lord Hawke were not the twin "big noises" of the cricket pavilion, The former was Kent and the latter Yorkshire, but 'they were otherwise of one mind on most things, including rigid cricket etiquette, not pandering to brighter-play iconoclasts, and keeping, .the hired man in his place. Lord /Harris even put his foot down against that "brilliant Oxford bat, the. Nawab of Pataudi, qualifying for Kent. Despite anno dqmini, the veteran played only last summer in hot country-house cricket. He had a good record of public service, served in the Boer War, and was once a Pro-consul of Empire. But' the man in the street knew him first and last as a cricketer, and captain of England '"in the. first Australian test match in England.
