Cricket 1886

122 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. MAY 13,1886 than once in the Notts County Eleven, is very popular both among cricketers and footballers, and every one will bo pleased at the good news of his recovery. Though he has never been able to do himself justice in County cricket, there are few better amateur batsmen in the Notting­ ham district. I am glad to learn from that pleasant little print the American Cricketer ,which has come up smiling again on the 29th of last month to open another season, that cricket is steadily increasing in favour on the other side o f the pond. The report issued at the ninth annual meeting of the Cricketers’ Association of the United States speaks most hopefully of the pre­ sent condition of the game in the districts within its jurisdiction, and, indeed, there is an unmistakable indication in the number of new, as well as in the revival of old, Clubs, of a very healthy growth, the outcome, no doubt, of the recent inter­ change of visits between English and American cricketers. M y old friend Capt. Green, of the Belmont Club, who accompanied the Philadelphian Gentlemen on the occasion of their visit to England in 1884, I see is again on the executive of the Cricketers’ Association of the United States, and amongst others known to English cricketers, I may name Messrs. F. M. Bissell, the President, who made such excellent arrangements for the American tour of the English amateurs last fall; N. S. Walker, jun., of the Staten Island Club, Vice-President; Mr. A. J. Dixon, of the Young America, the corresponding secretary; and Mr. D. S. Newliall, one of the famous brotherhood, who would have captained the Philadelphians here had he been able to make the trip. I t will interest C ricket readers who were fortunate enough to make the acquaintance of the Philadelphian Ama­ teurs, to learn that Mr. Howard McNutt has been, teste the American Cricketer, at work since February on a light opera. The first'act, the Cricketer says, is com­ pleted, and is to be given before a circle of musical friends some time this month. Mr. McNutt, to turn to another kind of music, the music of the cricket sphere, I may add, won the Bowling Cup in the Halifax Cup Competition last year. He bowled 070 balls for 213 runs and 22 wickets, an average of 9.08. A m on g the many pleasant social gather­ ings in which the Australian cricketers will participate during the present tour, one o f more than usual significance undef the special circumstance of the Colonial Exhibition, in which Australasia naturally plays such a prominent part, none, I should fancy, will be more gratifying to them than the official reception on Tues­ day at the Exhibition by the Commis­ sioners of the Victorian section. T h e President of tlia Victorian Com­ mission, Mr. J. Bosisto, in the eternal fitness of things happens to be a keen supporter of the game. He has been for the last two or three years, unless I am mistaken, President of the llichmqnd Club at Melbourne, and therefore his Presidency on this occasion was singu­ larly appropriate. After an inspection of the products of Australia the team, or rather the eight who were able to avail themselves of the invitation, were enter­ tained to an Australian luncheon in the National School o f Cookery adjoining the Exhibition. Among the other guests of Mr. Bosisto were Sir Philip Cunliffe Owen, the Secretary of the Indian and Colonial Exhibition, the Hon. Graham Berry, the new Agent-General of Victoria, who had only arrived in London in the morn­ ing, and came specially to do honour to the Australian team, SirAlexander Stewart of Adelaide, and Hon. W. Wilson, of Victoria. In reply to the toast of the Australian Team, which was very heartily received, Captain Scott felt confident that his men would comport themselves on as well as off the field in a way to reflect credit on the Australian Colonies and on Australian cricket. P er cy M c D o n n ell , A. Bannerman, and T. Nunn, all of whom have made their mark on English cricket grounds, participated in some high scoring at Sydney on March 20, in a match between the Carlton and Carlingford Clubs for the Trustees’ Cup. McDonnell was caught for thirteen, but Bannerman and Nunn both punished the Carlingford bowling, the former contributing 110 while Nunn carried out his bat for 05. Turner, who was the chief scorer with 121, though, was the hero of the match, as in addition he took four of the ten wickets of Carling­ ford. The latter with ono absent made 65 against 453 of Carlton. It' is not often that a season opens with such a remarkable performance as that which marked the close of the Seniors match at Oxford yesterday. In the second innings of Mr. A. R. Cobb’s side, Messrs. P. Coles and R. G. Glennie made 210 runs before a wicket fell. The former is well- known to C ricket readers as one of the Rugby eleven of 1883, who just failed to get his blue last year. Mr. Glennie, I may add, for the benefit of C ric k e t readers, was captain of the King’s School Canterbury eleven in 1883. For Keble College in 1885, he had a fine average of 07.1, scoring 738 runs in 11 completed innings. KENLEY v. CRYSTAL PALACE E. S. Played at Kenley on May 8. CRYSTAIa-PAI.ACE E. S.

N otwithstanding the dull and generally un­ favourable weather some very fair cricket was shown in this match, played on the County ground, Brighton, on Monday and Tuesday. Budgen, of Brighton, for the Colts batted well in each innings, in fact, he was distinctly the best batsman on the side. In the second innings he was tw o ho.urs and a half at the wickets for his thirty-nine. A. H ide and Bean, the Nottingham professional, who has elected to play for Sussex this season under the resi­ dential qualification, bowled with great success fo r the Cl.ub. Bean took fourteen wickets at a cost, of 36 runs. Budgen and Clarke have been selected to play for Sussex against M.C.C. & G. ut L ord’s on Monday. T he CoiiTs. First Innings. Second Innings. II. \V.
