Cricket 1887

154 CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. MAY 26,1887. no stone unturned to maintain their record of last year. They performed on the Philadelphia Club to some considerable tune at least in their opening match, and one of their number, F. W . Ralston, who hit well for the Gentlemen of Philadelphia against the Gentlemen of England during the visit of the latter to America last autumn, scored fourteen more than the eleven representing the Philadelphia Club in their first innings. Germantown, who made for the first match of the season a highly creditable total of 228, won by an innings and 127 runs, getting their oppo­ nents out for GOand 41. M r . F. M. Lucas, the brilliant left- handed bat, who has of late acted as Captain of the Sussex County Eleven, is, I hear, shortly to add his name to the muster roll of Benedicts. His future wife, I believe, is a daughter of a well-known golfer. Mr. Lucas has, as some C rick et readers are no doubt aware, taken to golf himself latterly, and has, indeed, already shown himself, like many other cricketers, to be no mean pro­ ficient at the game. L o rd Kinnaird, according to the Echo of yesterday, sat in the House of Peers for the first time on Monday night in succession to his father. Lord Kinnaird, who will be better known to C rick et readers under his late title, Hon. A. F. Kinnaird, has always been an enthusiastic supporter of both cricket and football, though as a player he has made a name chiefly at the winter game, in which he is still able to take part and with credit. I t is not often that the bowler is able to achieve the distinction of what is known as the “ hat trick ” with the first three balls he delivers. This was done, though, in the match between the second eleven of Kent and Bromley and District at Bromley on Saturday. P. Northcote, a slow left-handed bowler, got the first three batsmen of Kent in the second innings with the three first balls he bowled, and another with the sixth he delivered. Altogether in the match he was credited with nine wickets at a cost of only ten rims—a highly creditable record. M e s s r s . H. C a s t l e & S o n s, the well-known firm of Admiralty shipbreakers, of Millbank, have recently introduced a novelty in seats and chairs, which managers of cricket grounds will do well to inspect for themselves. Special designs have been made for seats suitable for cricket grounds, and as these seats are made of seasoned teak used in the old wooden ships employed in the Navy, they are of endless wear. Every possible attention, too, has been given to comfort, and this is not ob­ tained to the sacrifice of appearance, as the new seats are in addition very tasteful and elegant. They are fitted, if required, with folding cover seats and footboards, which pro­ tect the seats from rain as well as sun, and keep the feet dry. WEST WRATTING PARK v. PETER- HOUSE (2nd XI.)
