LONDON, Jan. 9. “It is good that during my Mayoralty the cricket ashes have again come to England,” said the Lord Mayor, Sir Kynaston Studd, at a dinner at the Mansion House. “Some of you have no doubt seen the photograph of those who first brought the ashes here,” said Sir Kynaston. “They included my two brothers and Lord Darnley. I assure you, as one who played against the Australians and knows them, that they are no mean side to beat. “Though we have won the three first test matches of this tour we had a great deal of luck in ttic first two. I think Chapman is the finest captain England has had.”

The two brothers of the Lord Mayor of London who played in Australia in 1882-83 were G. B. Studd and C. T. Studd, both of Eton, Cambridge and Middlesex. C. T. Studd became a missionary, and was for 10 years in China and eight years in India, and has been for the last 13 years in Central Africa. He was also one of the English team which played Australia in the original “Ashes” match at the Oval in the earlier part of 1882, which Australia won by seven runs. England made 101 and 77, Australia 63 and 122. The late Earl of Darnley was then the Hon. Ivo Bligh, of Eton, Cambridge and Kent.
