The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— _________________ Hamlet, Iterum Iterumque, Big scores, and plenty of them. Here are some of the innings of over five hundred runs regis­ tered during last week :— June 15, 16. Oxford, I Zingari v. Bul­ lingdon ................................................ 658 June 10. Maidstone, Mote Park v. Royal Marines ............................... (1 w) 514 June 17. Portsmouth, South Lancashire Regt. v. Worcester Regt......(5 w) 508 June 14, 15. Rochester, Incogniti v. Rochester.............................................. 506 When to these is added the two scores in the match between the Gentlemen of England and the Australians at the Oval, it will be admitted that batsmen have at last had some small compensation for the poor show they made, as a rule, on the soft wickets prevalent during the early part of the season. Cricket: A W E E K L Y BECOBD OF T EE GAME 41, ST. ANDREW’S HILL, LONDON, E.O. THURSDAY, JUNE 24th, 1886. NOTICE. Insert ion is only guaranteed ofscorcs o f those Clubs arranging Jor the publication o f all their matches. The Editor wishes it to be distinctly understood that to ensure appearance in the next number scores must be received at the latest by first post on Tuesday morning in each, week. A f e w particulars relative to the above matches may possibly not be W’ithotit interest. That at the Mote was specially remarkable for the performance of Messrs. C. Lake (137) and K. McAlpine (226), who put on no fewer than 346 runs for the first wicket. To give an idea of the rate of the scoring of these two batsmen, I may add that the 346 runs were got in two hours and forty-five minutes, or at the rate of 128 in the hour. The best record by the first two batsmen on a side is that of Messrs. W. G. Wyld and L. Wilson for Beckenham against Bexley at Beckenham on August 1, 1885. These two amateurs scored 470 in four hours without the loss of a wicket. H a s there been any instance of four English batsmen scoring a hundred in the same inningsprior to last week ? I f not the match between I Zingari and Bullingdon at Bullingdon on June 15 and 16 furnished a record. Some time since I gave a list of matches in which three hundreds had been got in one innings, but I cannot recall a case in which four centuries have been made. As the feat is, I fancy, unique, it would be best perhaps to reproduce the innings in its entirety. Mr. C. T. Hoare, who played a few times for Surrey some years ago, it will be seen was very near adding the fifth century. Bullingdonmade 216 and 35 for one wicket. I ZlNGAKI. W. C.
