Manager of C ricket , at this office. he abstract and brief chronicle of the time .— Ham let Peocavi. In last week’s “ Gossip,” writing in a hurry, I ventured rashly to give it as my opinion that the 713 made by the Royal Engineers against the Royal Marines on the previous Saturday was the highest score of the season. I had overlooked the Mary­ lebone total of 718 for nine wickets against Felsted School at Felsted on June 27. By a printer’s error in another paragraph, in which I referred to a match in which the late Julius Cffisar killed a swa’low while bowling, I was made to describe the Earl of Win terton as the Earl of Win Chester. I d o not know that I have of late come across—nnder all the circum­ stances— a more curious instance of low scoring than was recorded in a match between the Blindley Heath and Lingfield Clubs, played at Blindley Heath, near Godstone,onthel8thinst. In the second innings of the former nine wickets fell for one run (a leg-bye), and there was only one other notch added by the last man, who carried out his bat, the first ten members of the team all being credited with the unenviable “ duck.” The eleven who were thus dismissed for one run from the bat, too, contained several players of more than local reputation, notably the Rev. F. G. Deedes, once well-known at Oxford, W. Payne of East Grinstead, and Brinkhurst, also identified at one time with Sussex cricket. G. Faulkner, a local cricketer, took three wickets for no runs, and Milner Holt, of the Rich­ mond, six wickets for one run. The onerous duties of the Secretary­ ship of the Chiswick Park Club have not, I am glad to see, interfered materially with Mr. F. B. Shadwell’s skill as a bowler. His achievement for Brightling Park against the South Batons at St. Leonards on Friday and Saturday, proves that custom has, at least, not staled the infinite variety of his bowling. His performance was, indeed,a remarkable one. He took all the ten wickets in the first innings of the Saxons at a cost of but twenty-six runs, having only delivered fifteen overs and one ball (61 balls.) Altogether, it was quite his day, as, in addition, he con­ tributed 70 to the Brightling total of 230. The fielding of the Saxons, though, I fear, could not have been very good, as byes were responsible for as many as forty-three of the aggre­ gate of Brightling Park, In the ordinary way the twelve English amateurs who left Liverpool on Thursday last in the “ Adriatic ” should reach New York on Saturday next. The first match of the tour is to be commenced on Monday, and as the programme has undergone some slight alterations it will be as well, perhaps, to give it in its amended form. August 31, Sept. 1, v. Staten Island, at Tompkinsville, New York. Sept. 5, 7, v. Western Association, at Chicago. Sept. 9, 10, 11, v. Canada, at Toronto. Sept. 14 15, v. Montreal C.C., at Montreal.

R ic h a r d s o n , of Hadham, has sent me the following details of a match in which, as will be seen, six batsmen fell to successive balls :— In a match played on August 18th, as our opponents could not be got rid of, as a last resort an underhand slow bowler was put on. From the second ball of the second over a batsman was caught, the third and fourth balls bowled two more, and from the fifth ball another was caught. By the first ball of the over from the other end a man was bowled, and the innings closed. When Hadham went in to bat the first man, too, wa bowled by the first ball, making altogethe8 six out in six successive balls. r In some remarks in last week’s “ Gossip ” on the big score of the Law Club at Willesden, on the previous Thursday, I stated that I could not recal another instance in which the
