Though the question of finding the necessary finance has been a difficult one this season, the committed felt that it would be a great pity to dispensa. with a coach just when his work is only beginning to make itself felt, and the particular nentbers who Speirc so much time this season in the o’ganisation and collection of the requisite fund expressed themselves as willing to carry on for the next season in the co urn of cricket.
