The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet . A c o r r e s p o n d e n t thoroughly Well* qualified to write on the subject of cricket history, who signs himself “ An Old Har­ rovian,” sends me the following comments on the letter of “ Septuagenarian ” in last week’s C r i c k e t :— In C ricket of April 15,1886, in the letter signed by “ Septuagenarian” Mr. A. Mynn is described as taking a “ short run.” This is an error, as far as my experience goes. I played with and against him about a dozen years. He advanced to the crease in a walk, using four or five steps and holding hiinself quite upright. His delivery was always considered grand and majestic, and except the first few years he played he was very straight. S. Redgate did not “ run violently ” or bowl with “ great effort to himself.” His delivery was most easy, and, in fact, he was considered to have one of the most “ graceful of deliveries.” However, opinions always differ, and I never go on my own, but what I state above was the general opinion at the time. “ Old Harrovian ” is also kind enough to add the following :— . . In the Biography of Wm. Beldham you have omitted to state that he was working in his garden before eight o’clock a.m. at nipety- two years of age, as mentioned in “ Scores and Biographies.” This is a wonderful fact, I think ? I am much indebted to “ 0. H .” for his interesting letter. “ A n Old Harrovian” also sends me the following pertinent remarks on the im­ portance of strict accuracy in scoring at cricket matches:— It is hoped that during the next summer all cricketers, or rather those engaged to score at cricket matches (great and small), will be more attentive to their duties than has been the case during the last few years, and more correct accounts in consequence sent up to the sporting papers— 1st. The “ extras” ought never to be sent up for publication in the form of “ extras,” but should be divided thus: byes, leg-byes, wides no balls. 2nd. “ Overs,” also, ought never to be sent for publication, for sometime four and some­ times five balls now form an “ over.” A cricketer, therefore, might deliver (say) twenty- five “ overs,” but it could not therefrom be deduced whether he had propelled 100 or 125
