Cricket 1885

274 CRICKET* A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JULY 23, 1885, and his second score of 23 was the highest of the innings. This early promise was fully maintained during the season. His best performance was a finely-played second innings of 62 against Notts at Trent Bridge, and indeed he was par­ ticularly successful against Nottingham bowlers, making subsequently 31 and 42 not out against them at Brighton. Against Kent, Derbyshire, and Surray, too, he also did well, scoring generally so creditably as to be able to claim a very respectable average of 21.17 at the end of the year. In 1884 again his batting was of great service gener­ ally. His brilliant innings against the Australians at Brighton was, though, by far his best performance. His stand with Henry Phillips was, indeed, one of the noteworthy events of the season. As many will remember, Phillips and he together put on 182 runs for the eighth wicket. On this occasion, the only one, strangely onough, on which he met the Australians, Mr. Wyatt scored 112, and while he was in 248 runs were added to the Sussex score. Mr. Whitfeld’s inability to play this year has caused the captaincy to devolve on Mr. Wyatt, and as he never loses interest in the game no better choice could be made. With good defence he can also hit very freely all lound, scoring very fast when he gets set. He is, too, a capital field anywhere, but espe­ cially in the country, where he covers a great deal of ground. In football as well as racquets, too, as a boy he was proficient. He played football for Cheltenham in 1867 and 1868, and only gave the game up through an accident in putting his knee out. He also did duty for his school at racquets in 1869 at Prince’s with A.T. Myers, being beaten in the first round by Eton, represented by the late C. J. Ottaway and J. P. Rodgers. At Chelt­ enham, too, he won the prize for throwing the cricket ball with a heave of some 103 yards, though he subsequently beat this record both at Sandhurst and at Calcutta, throwing 105 at tho former and 107 yards at the latter. Of late years Mr. Wyatt has been well-known in connection with dogs, and on several occasions has acted as judge of Blood­ hounds and St. Bernards for the Kennel Club at its big shows. Mainly, too, to his exertions was due last year the formation of the English Guernsey Cattle Society, of which he is the hon. sec. Next Thursday’s C ricket will contain Portrait and Biography of Me.

KENT. Kent, though not represented by its best eleven, beat Hampshire, who had also not quite their full strength, yesterday at South­ ampton by 132 runs. Though they lost the toss the tail of the Hampshire eleven played up so well that Kent were in a minority of 60 runs on the first hands. Five of the best Hampshire wiokets were down for 32, but Mr. Calder, and Leat and Dible lent such useful assistance that the last half of the innings realised 161, Dible carrying out his bat for a well-got 41. When Kent went in a second time though, the Hampshire bowlers were not seen to the same advantage, and Mr. Marchant, the Thorntons, and Mr. Jones all scored freely. The first-named in particular hit in very fine form. He was not out at the close of the innings for a highly credit­ able 62. Hampshire went in yesterday a second time, wanting 238 to win. W oot­ ton, helped by the wicket, however, proved too much for the majority of the eleven, and Mr. Armstrong, who played well, and Dible made more than one half of the runs. Wootton took eight wiokets for 39 runs, a fine performance. K ent , First Innings. G. G. Hearne, b Willoughby 10 F. Hearne, c Simpson, b D ib le ..................................16 Mr. R.S.

The Derbyshire eleven had an easy win in this match, played on the new ground at Buxton, on Monday and Tuesday. They won by 177 runs, a result mainly due to the good batting of Sugg, Mr. Maynard, Shack­ lock, Chatterton and Cropper, and the effective bowling of Hall, Mr. Cochrane, and Chatterton.
