294 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. JULY22,1886. The following -notice taken from the weddiAg announcements in the Evening StanMdrdof Tuesday /will be of interest to cricketers, more particularly to old Oxonians and the men of Kent, for whom Mr. Foord-Kelcey for several years did right good service. FOORD-KELCEY—MORDAUNT.—July 15, at the Parish Church, Barnstaple, by the Rev. A. E. Seymour, William Foord-Kelcey, Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, to Harriet Isobel, second daughter of the late John Mordaunt, Esq., J.P., of Flax Bourton, Somerset. A c o rre sp o n d e n t writes to call my attention to an announcement that the August number of The P ortfolio will contain an article on Hatfield. I fear if he is under the impression that he is going to be initiated into the mysteries of the drink which used to be so popular among the good folk who frequented the Oval in what arc termed Surrey’s palmy days, he is on the wrong scent. T iie following table gives the result of the matches between the nine Chief Counties this season up to date:— Notts Won. 5 Lost. 0 Drawn 2 Surrey 8 1 1 Lancashire 4 2 1 Middlesex 2 3 1 Gloucestershire 1 3 1 Kent 2 4 1 Yorkshire 1 4 3 Sussex 2 5 1 Derbyshire 0 8 1 A c o rre sp o n d e n t has sent me the batting averages of the principal batsmen who have played not less than five innings against the Australians, up to Saturday, July 17.

C r o ssla n d , the ex-Lancashire bowler, playing for East Lancashire at Blackburn, on July 15, took all ten wickets of Great Harwood. TH E F IF TH A U S T R A L IA N TE AM IN ENG LAND . N in e t e e n t h m a t c h — v . L iv e r p o o l & d is t r ic t , The local eleven captained by Mr. A. G. Steel made a very creditable show in this match, limited to two days and played on the ground of the Liverpool Cricket Club, on Friday and Saturday last. The Australians, in view of the great match against England at Lord’s, decided to give a rest to Messrs. Blackham, Garrett, and Jones, and Mr. R. Pope was consequently again called into requisition to complete the eleven. Though they had the advantage of first innings, the Australians only made a moderate show against the bowling of Mr. A. G. Steel, Smith, and Shore, and were all out for 152, of which two batsmen, Messrs. Giffen and M’llwraith, contributed 76. The former played excellent cricket, though he ought to have been stumped when he had got 22. M’llwraith’s 34 not out was a good display of free hitting. When Liverpool went in Mr. A. G. Steel was again seen to advantage. He W'as in an hour and ten minutes for his 52, an innings altogether free from mistakes. On Saturday morning some capital hitting by Mr. E. C. Hornby and Shore, who played once or twice for Notts a few years ago, helped the local team greatly. These two batsmen added 76 for the eighth wicket, and their stand enabled Liverpool to get a useful lead of 52 on the first hands. When they went in a second time the Australians made a bad start, and six wickets were down for 82j-or only 30 on. Though rain had been falling slightly for some little time before Mr. Trumble joined his .captain, the game was continued to the benefit of the spectators, who witnessed some capital cricket. Mr. Trumble played very steadily, while Mr. Scott hit freely all-round. The latter’s was indeed an exceptionally fine display of batting. He made 80 out of 118 while in, and without a chance. His score, it may be added, contained no less than fourteen fours. Just before five o’clock rain came down heavily and the game had to be given up as drawn'. As the Australians were only 89 on with two wickets to fall, the result of the game was most satis­ factory to, and, indeed, reflected great credit on the Liverpool team. Ow'ing to a slight attack of lumbago Mr. A. G. Steel was only able to bowl two overs in the Australians’ second innings. A u str alia n s . First Innings. Mr. G.J. Bonnor, st White, bA G.
