Cricket 1885

154 CRICKET; A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. m a y 28, 1885. hitting must have been lively enough if it is correct, as stated, that these 142 runs were got in an hour. A f r i e n d in America sends me a cutting from a Buffalo paper which he thinks will interest C r i c k e t readers. Mr.W. E.Gilbert, cousin toDr.W .G . Grace, occasionally performs clever tricks with the bat and ball. The latter is thrown to him from a distance of 80 yards with a good elevation, and strikes the bat, which he holds ia a slanting and elevated position breast high. After the ball strikes the bat. Gilbert rushes under the ball and receives it several times on the face of the bat in lesser bounds, until the ball lies quietly on the bat. There is not one cricketer or base ball player in a thousand that can successfully perform this exceptional feat. I remember well the ease with which C. Laurence, who was one of Stephen­ son’s team which visited Australia in 1862, and acted as Captain of the aboriginal players who starred Eng­ land in 1868, performed this same feat. I saw him do it frequently during that tour, and with unvarying success as far as I can recollect. CHIGWELL SCHOOL v. SCHOOL. BRENTWOOD Played at Brentwood on May 23. B rentwood S chool .

I n a match between the Sheepscar United and flew Wortley clubs, on Satur­ day, G. Beaumont, for the former, accom­ plished a remarkable bowling feat, as lie captured seven wickets at a cost of only four runs, three of these bting taken with succes­ sive balls. H arby B e m bw d q e did a good piece of bowling at Bolton on Saturday. Assisting the local Club against Sale, he took five wickets for five runs, twelve of the fifteen overs he delivered being maidens. NORTH v. SOUTH. (F o r B enefit op F . M obley ’ s F a m ily ). It is_a matter for deep regret that the rain should have so completely settled this match played at Lord’s on Monday and Tuesday last. With Notts, Yorkshire, Surrey, Kent, and Sussex all engaged, it was quite impos­ sible to secure au eleven at all representa­ tive of either division. Still, had the weather only held iip on Monday, despite the weak­ ness of. the contending teams, in all pro­ bability there would have been a large atten­ dance, and the object of the match, help fcr the family of a popular and deserving cricketer now dead, would have been fairly successful. As it was, rain only allowed v<ry little play on Monday, and on the following day the -wicket was in consequence so treacherous that run getting was very diffi­ cult. The South, who went in first, were abla to claim a lead of 82 runs on the first innings,, and. though in the follow-on Messrs. Hawke and Hornby showed some good hit­ ting, the Northerners were not able to pull up their arrears. Rylott bowled with great success in the firstinnings of the South, taking seven wiokets for 55 runs. The bowl­ ing figures, though, of Mr. Grace and Eother- gill were even more noteworthy. The former was credited with nine wickets for 73, Fothergill with eight for 64 runs. The South won by nine wickets. S outh . First Innings.
