Cricket 1884

18 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. feb . 28, ism . season he played in 38 innings for the County, and with only one not-out had an aggregate of 581 runs. His howling, too, was of great service as a change, and his figures in this department showed that his 38 wickets were got at an average of just under 19 runs. Henderson is only 5ft. 5Jin. in height, but he bats in very upright style, and he makes the fullest use of his stature. He plays thoroughly correct cricket, and, with care, should be a really good bat, especially when he gets a little more strength and punishing power. His bowling is very straight, and though there is little in it, he keeps such a good length that he is difficult to hit. In the field he is a little slow, but he is sure to improve in this department. All round he is certainly the most promising young pro­ fessional cricket has introduced for some time. W e can give C k ick e t n o higher praise than b y saying that to all who profess or care to know anything o f the gam e it is in ­ dispensable. C apital portraits of well- known cricketers, articles on the history, curiosities, literature, of the gam e, full scores o f the m atches, &c. , are th e ch ief features o f C r ic k e t, which ought to be in the hands of every cricketer and cricket- lover in the kingdom .— Yorkshire Illustrated M on thly for F ebruary.

Old Cbicket.—The Sporting Life re­ cently published the following notice of early cricket, which will be interesting to all those who take interest in the history of the game:—• ‘ Chamberlayne’s Present State of England, 1707 (page 313).—The king hath abroad his forests, chases, and parks, full of variety of game: red and fallow deer, foxes, otters, hawking, his paddock-courses, horse-races, &c., and at home, tennis, pelmel, billiards, comedies, operas, masquerades, halls, ballets, &c.

This match was the great cricket excitement of the year, and attracted a sprinkling of ladies, who, as a rule, do not exhibit much interest in Shanghai, but who seem thoroughly to appreciate the tea and cake provided for them whenever they do honour the cricket ground with their presence. The only excitement in the match was whether the canny Scots would avert a one innings’ defeat, which, how­ ever, they eventually failed to do by eight runs, notwithstanding the brilliant and de­ termined batting of Lamond, who showed that with practice he might do great things with the willow. To England’s victory Messrs. Dunman and Leach were the main contributors, Dunman contributing a vigor­ ously hit 79 and Leach a carefully played innings of 43, besides taking eleven wickets at a cost of 80 runs. The town band was in attendance, and added considerably to the enjoyment of the spectators. S cotland . H. H. Taylor, o Leach, b Dun­ man....................................... 12 A.
