CRICKET.

Received June 19,. 1.5 a.m. Sydney, June 18. The question of guaranteeing the English, team threatens to cause further complications. The trustees of the Cricket Ground decided to charge twenty per cent, rent of ground, and this .is considered excessive by the Cricket Association. Mr * McElhone, Secretary to the Board of Control, and a prominent member of the ' Association, estimates that this with other charges will leave the Association only seventeen per cent, net profit on the takings. Under the circumstances it remained for the Association, when it further considers the matter, to decide if it be wise to take any financial responsibility.
