Cricket 1884

198 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JtJNE 12, 1884 of a Memoir of the late Hon. Robert Grim­ ston, it is hoped that some among his many friends and old school and college com­ panions will be so good as to send to Mr. F. Gale, who has undertaken to write the Memoir, any authentic anecdotes or letters of interest. All communications should be addressed to “ F. Gale, Esq , care of Messrs. Longman & Co., 39, Paternoster-row, London, E.G.” It is particnlarly requested that any anecdotes should be first-hand, not hearsay. All Christian surnames and quality of correspondents, and those of whom they write, should be given in full and be very legibly written; and it will assist the work very much if the subject matter and date to which it relates are put outside the letter—such as “ Harrow 1829,” “ Oxford 1833,” “'Hunting 1850,” “ Cricket 1840,’' &c., as the case may be. Original letters are earnestly asked for, and will be returned after perusal ; and a.iy information should ba sent as early as possible, especially from abroad and the colonies.—Yours faithfully, B e s s b o r o u g h . I am authorised to state that those in­ terested in the biography of the late lamented sportsman are very anxious that cricketers and sportsmen of all classes, especially professional players, should furnish any information in their power, as directed by Lord Bess- borough's letter.

Middlesex avenged its defeat in its first put match of 1883 by a decisive victory over Surrey at the Oval on Tuesday. Owing to the heavy rains tbe wicket was in favour of the bowlers on the second day, and the scoring was not so high as might have been expected. The feature of the match wa3the very fine first innings of Mr. Webbe. He went in first and carried out his bat for 73, a brilliant performance under the circum­ stances. Though the wicket was very sticky he never made a mistake until he had got 73, when he gave a rather hard chance to Hr. Read at point, and his batting on this occasion shows that he haa still few, if any, superiors when the state of the ground neces­ sitates extreme care. Mr. O’Brien fully main­ tained the reputation he has won this year, and his cutting in the first innings was ex­ ceedingly clean. Mr. Shuter hit very freely in Surrey’s second innings, and Mr. Bowden played really good cricket for his 49. When Mr. Roller went on t> bowl on the second morning he took six wickets for 20 runs. The wicket helped him, of course, considerably, but none the less it was a fine performance. Middlesex won by eight wickets. First Innings. M. Read, b McEwen ..

The Derbyshire eleven gained their first victory of the season at Lord’s on Tuesday, when they defeated a weakish eleven of M.C.C. and Ground, after an exciting finish, with only seven runs to spare. Though rain interfered with the game considerably on Monday, the cricket on the whole was fairly interesting. Mr. C. Wilson, the Kent amateur, hit freely in the second innings of the Club for 71, and Mr. Ruggles-Brise and he made 104 out of 133 from the bat. Cropper was the most successful performer on the Derbyshire side. He was not only the highest scorer in each innings, but in addition took nine wickets for 92 runs. There was no extra in either innings of Derbyshire, a suffi­ cient proof of Mr. Welman’s efficiency at the wicket. D e r b y s h ir e . First Innings. Mr. R. P.
