KANDOS CRICKET CLUB.
A meeting of cricket enthusiasts was held at the Angus Memorial Hall on Thursday night, at which it was unanimously resolved to form a cricket club with the above title. Mr. A. P. Meany, J.P., was elected president and Mr. W. Conran secretary, Mr. C. Roberts treasurer, and the following gentlemen appointed vice-chairmen, Messrs. F. Richards, H. Schroder, Chetwynd Jones, W. R. Jones, J. P. McGrath, H. E. Phillips, R. Service, J. Fletcher, W. McKibbon (of Lithgow), D. Charles, C. P. Hansen, J. Lloyd, T. Hamilton, V. Smith, S. Winchester, J. C. Strong, and Mr. Robinson. It was resolved that the election of an executive committee be held over until the next meeting also the question of deciding the amount of entrance fee and annual contributions. The meeting decided to wait upon Mr. Chetwynd Jones to make arrangements for the wicket, and appointed the president, secretary and treasurer to form a deputation for that purpose. It was resolved to hold the next meeting on Monday week, September 23. We cordially invite everyone interested in cricket to roll up. Kandos should easily support two good strong elevens, and with the popular and enthusiastic officials who have been elected to pilot the first Kandos Cricket Club along we have not the shadow of a doubt that the new venture will be an unqualified success from its inception.
The following donations have been received towards the establishment of the newly formed club: J. P. McGrath £1/1/, R. Service £1/1/, A. P. Meany £1/1/, W. McKibbin £1/1/, T. Hamilton 10/6. A subscription list has been opened which is being circulated throughout the township, and a liberal response is anticipated1 .
