Cricket 1883

74 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. m a t 3, is m . last, to welcome Barlow on his return home. “ Fabius Cunctator ” was appa­ rently a little overcome by tlie warmth of the unexpected reception. He is to make his first appearance on Saturday next for f.lie Ramsbottom Club against Roy ton on ^lie ground of the former. TiiEParramatta]with ,as far as we know, four of the Hon. Ivo Bligh’s Australian eleven on board, arrived at Suez yester­ day. A letter just received states that the travellers will come overland, so that we may hope to see them safely at home again on Wednesday or Thursday next. M r . W. W. R e a d on his return is to receive a testimonial in recognition of the brilliant cricket he lias shown during tlie recent tour in Australia. The move­ ment has been confined to members of the Surrey County Club, and I have reason to believe that it has met with a hearty response. The piece of land in the township of Carolin, Queensland, to which he became entitled by virtue of the highest score in the match at Mary­ borough, is, I gather from a well-in- formedAustralian correspondent, likely in time to be of considerable value. T h e annual general meeting of the Surrey County Club, I would remind the members, is to be held this afternoon at 5.30. A special general meeting for the confirmation of some slight alterations is down for half an-hour earlier. The din­ ner is to take place in the Club House at 7 o ’clock the same evening. The Presi­ dent, Lord Monson, is to be in the chair. I t is early as yet to commence a record of the noteworthy performances on the cricket field. A small space may well be given, though, by way of opening the account to abowling feat of Mr. Isaac Bot- tomley for the Low Moor Club on Satur­ day last. In six overs he took seven wickets at a cost of only three runs. Four of the wickets were taken with suc­ cessive balls. I am indebted to the Athletic New* for this piece of information. I f I mistake not, Mr. Bottomley played in a few matches for Yorkshire in 1879. T he Intercolonial match between Victoria and South Australia was to commence on the East Melbourne ground on March 24. Bonnor, Blackham, Boyle, Cooper, Horan, Midwinter, M'Donnell, M‘ Shane, Palmer, Rosser, Slight, and Scott were selecte 1to represent Victoria, but it Was uncertain when the lastmailleft, whether Bonnor would be in Melbourne at the time. The South Australian team were the two brothers Giffen, Watsford, Cragie, Richards, Knill, Jarvis, King, Noel, Hide, Quilty, and Gooden. Noel has the reputation of being one of the most effective among the steady divisions of colonial batsmen, while it is said that tho English team considered the younger Giffen to be superior even to his brother in some respects. L o r e t t o School has been playing a rather important part in the trial matches at Oxford this season. For the Seniors last week, A. G. G. Asher (111), and H. B . Tristram (12 and 32),were the highest scorers on their respective sides, and on Monday and Tuesday last for the Freshmen, J. A. Dun was one of the most successful batsmen with a useful innings of 83. Last year’s captain, N. M'Laclilan, was an old Lorettonian, and the present Honorary Secretary, J. G. Walker, hails from the same school. “ P arson J ack ,” as the Rev. John Russell, rector of Black Torrington in Devon, was affectionately called by the irreverent persons who were proud of his achievements on the hunting field, died on Saturday last. He had been failing in health for some weeks past and he passed away quietly in his eighty-seventh year. The hunting parson was quite a figure in the world of sport, a truly re­ markable figure too, and one which hun­ dreds of all classes will be sincerely sorry to miss. He was an Englishman in every sense, and a keener all-round sportsman never lived. At one time he indulged in Cricket, but he was never sufficiently fond of it to gain distinction, and his heart was thoroughly in the chase which he followed until the close of 1882. He was a guest of the Prince and Princess of Wales at Sandringham in 1874, and the Prince was one of tho most constant en­ quirers after his condition during the last few days of his life.

P a g e , the Cheltenham College Captain of last year, made a very favourable debut, as a in the Frehmen’s match at Oxford. He took six wickets in seventeen overs for seven runs.
