The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet, I h a v e much pleasure in giving publicity to the following:— During the months of August, September, and October an Exhibition of articles used in all sorts of Sport will be held at Amsterdam. Out-door Games will form a special group, and S articular care will be bestowed on it by the irection, for Cricket, Lawn-Tennis, and Foot- ballespecially areincreasing largely in Holland. As there are no manufacturers of artioles belonging to these games in Holland, and all of them must be had from the English stores, it will be of no small import* nee to English outfitters to take part in the forthcoming Exhibition, and send complete and well fur­ nished collections of their wares.—A. L. K o ste r , Member of the Committee, and President of the Dutch Cricket Union. All applications for space must be sent before the 15th of next month to the Director of the Intern Kunst-Yereeniging. Heerengraaht 270, Amsterdam. M r. J. L ocke L an ca ster, the Hon. Sec. of the Brighton Club, sends me the following interesting details of last week’s cricket on the Sussex County ground at Brighton During the past week, on the Sussex County Ground, Brighton, in two matches 1,980 runs have been made, and seven centuries obtained in five days. On Monday and Tuesday the Brighton Cricket Club scored 184 runs and 97 for three wickets; Brighton College 502 runs. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday Sussex made 451 runs and 212 with five wickets down, and Cambridge University 534 runs. These giv« a grand total of 1,980 runs, an average nearly of 400 runs per day. The sevenjeenturies (quite unprecedented, I believe, in one week on the same ground) were secured by Mr. G. H. Cotterill (115) for Brighton Club ; Messrs.N. C. Cooper (154) and G.L. Wilson (152) for Brighton College; Jesse Hide (115) and Walter Humphreys (117) for Sussex; and for Cambridge University Mr. W.C. Bridgeman 1C2 not out, and Mr. L. Martineau 109runs. The centuries amounted to 924 runs, equal to an average of 132 runs each, counting the 162 not out as a completed innings. A sensational hit was also made by Mr. C. Toppin through an open window of the Pavilion, the ball shaving the heads of one or two worthy veterans of the Sussex County Club and depositing itself on the top of one of the lockers behind a cricket bag, the discovery of its final resting place occupying some two or three minutes. The eleven to represent Winchester against Eton, at Eton to-day and to­ morrow, will consist of: Hon. F. T. N. Thesiger (captain), II. Gibson, V, F. Leese, W. H. Leese, W. G. Clegg, J. II. Weatherby (all Old Blues), T. B. Case, E. T. Hill, B. J. B. Stephens, Y. T. Hill, and A. H. C. Baker. The twelfth man is H. B, Debenham. The Leeses are, I may add, sons of Mr. J. F. Leese, the Lancashire amateur who played for the Veterans at Lord’s last week, and are both very good bats.
