CRICKET : A W E E K L Y RECORD OF THE GAME. 41 ST. ANDREW’S HILL, LONDON, E.O. THURSDAY, MAY 14, 1885. ^ c P 7 i Y m i e N v G ^ i P * - < - The abstract and briefchronicleof the time.— Hamlet. I h a v e much pleasure in giving insertion to the following letter:— You were kind enough to insert a letter in your p&per from me, begging for cricketing gear for our village cricket club. I venture to trouble you again, to ac­ knowledge through the medium of C r ic k e t, gifts of bats, stumps, leg-guards, and practice balls from one of your readers. Since I wrote to you, I have secured the gift of a permanent cricket ground for Combe village. There have been some neces­ sary expenses incurred for making the ground good, and it must be fenced in with the iron chains and stakes usually used for these purposes, which will cost £9 odd. If anyone would help us to defray this cost with the smallest donations, they would be gratefully acknowledged by me. P. O.O. should be made payable to Adela Brooke, Combe Post-office. Yours faithfully, A dela B rooke , Commbe, near Woodstock, Oxfordshire, May 9th. Gifts of cricketing gear should be sent to Handborough Station, Oxford­ shire. For “ Combe Cricket Club.” To judge by the accounts o f his performances during the Australian season just closing, A. B . Jarvis, the South Australian Cricketer, whom many •will remember as one of the first Australian Team -which visited this country in 1878, must now, as a wicket-keeper, be a very dangerous rival to Blackham, even when that greatest of all stumpers is at his very best. Jarvis, all through this Aus­ tralian season, seems to have “ kept ” in brilliant form, and I notice that he finished up the English tour with a fine performance for the Fifteen of South Australia. Though he took all the bowling without a long-stop, there was only one bye in the big total of 367 made by the Englishmen. This is a great record, but I can call to mind a better. Mr. W . W. Bead, on June 2 and 3, 1881, kept wicket for Surrey against Yorkshire, at Huddersfield, when the latter made 388 without an “ extra.” O n Saturday last Mr. H. S. Prinsep, playing for Oriel against University College, at Oxford, carried his bat through the innings for 111 out of a total of 198. The feat itself is rare, but in this case it is more than usually noticeable. It is, indeed, the second time within a week that Mr. Prinsep has been credited with the same per­ formance. On the previous Saturday, for Oriel against Brasenose, he went in first and carried out his bat for 102. A nother figure well-known to all frequenters of Lord’s will be seen no more. Of late years there was hardly a match of any importance at head­ quarters at which the Earl of Dudley was not present, accompanied by his beautiful wife. Few cricketers of the present day, though, were aware that he was in his time a good player. He was in the Oxford Elevens of 1841 and 1842, in each of which years his fast bowling was attended with some success against Cambridge: He was President of the Marylebone Club in 1864, and up to the time of his death was one of its trustees. He died suddenly on Thursday last of conges­ tion of the lungs, in his sixty-ninth year. I s e e that Mr. Thomas Lynn Bristowe, of Dulwich Hill House, Den­ markHill,has at theunanimous request ofthe delegates from all theConservative Associations in the proposed Norwood Division of the parish of Lambeth, consented to come forward as the
