The cricket season will open for us this afternoon with a trial match at Corstorphine, when it is to be hoped there will be a big turnout of new talent to fill up the vacancies in the 1st team. We shall suffer much by the loss of Thornton this season, both as a player and a captain, and doubly so as his successor Mapleton is unable to come up this summer, as he is now reading in London. It is to be hoped, however, that the “only ’Varsity fielder” will be able to turn out. The other loss is trifling. In a measure to make up for these deficiencies, it is to hoped that every member of the Club will endeav­our to uphold its reputation in the cricket field. The railway company have kindly consented to stop two extra trains at Corstorphine, in addition to those in the May time-table, viz., Edinburgh to Corstorphine, 1.55 P.M., and Corstorphine to Edin­burgh, 5.21. There should be great competition for the vacancies, as we have back some promising bats in the 2nd, besides several new members with reputations. Lancashire is to furnish us with two more cricketers, one another Bolton blusher. The fixture card is out, and can be obtained from Messrs E. & S. Livingstone, Teviot Place, on payment of subscription. We wish our cricketers all success. May they all turn out players of the first rank.
