Excerpt from The History of Yorkshire County Cricket: 1833-1903 My own hobby in cricket has been the welfare of the County professionals, and I am deeply interested in noticing the recent advancement in them. No doubt in the old days the paid player was looked on too much as a machine. I do not think County Committees in the past paid enough attention to them. I have repeatedly instilled into my Committee the view that the more they respect the player the more he will respect him self. Speaking for myself, not only am I on terms of genuine friendship with all who are representing Yorkshire, but I honestly believe I look forward even more than they do to the annual occasion on which they are my guests. I began by giving them a dinner at Brighton, but subsequently offered them their choice between that and a day at Wighill. They have selected the latter, and the date of our yearly gathering has become a red letter day in my own calendar.
