T h e abstract and b rief chronicle o f the tim e.— Hamlet. H a r r o v ia n s will be sorry, to hear of the death of the Hon. E. W . H . Ward, eldest surviving son of the Viscount Bangor, who captained the School Eleven in 1882. Though not very successful against Eton on his first appearance at Lord’s in 1881, he did well the following summer, scoring 41 in his two innings, and keeping wicket very creditably. If I remember rightly he went up to Cam­ bridge for a year, but did not get his blue, though he showed fair form. Passing from Sandhurst into the Kifle Brigade he made some good scores in military matches, particularly in Ireland, Where he was credited with more than one hun­ dred. He died on Friday last in Upper Burmah of enteric fever in his twenty- fifth year. I t will be o f interest to cricketers generally to know that seven members at least of the victorious Eton eleven of this year are bound for one or other of the two Universities. Lord Chelsea, who hit so brilliantly in the first innings at Lord’s, T. W . Brand, the captain, C. P. Poley, who played so well against Harrow in 1886, and B. C. Gosling, who won the match against Harrow recently, are going up to Cambridge; W . D. Llewellyn, the hero of the Winchester match, Hon. H . Coventry and C. A. Field, who kept wicket so well at Lord’s, to Oxford. I may add that J. St. J. Fair, the captain of the Harrow eleven, also goes to Ox­ ford. Cambridge cricket will, too, be recruited by P. Ashworth and T. B. A. Clarke, of the same team, so that the Light Blues will have at their disposal six of the twenty-two who figured in the Eton and Harrow match of 1887. A. C. Maclaren, who won such high honours for Harrow at Lord’s recently, it will be interesting to many to know, will not complete his sixteenth year till Decem­ ber next, so that he should be of service to Harrow for two or three years yet. I hear on the best authority that five if not six of the Harrow eleven o f this year will be available next summer. V isit o r s to Hastings and St. Leonards of tastes cricketical will have plenty of entertainment, and of the best kind too, during the next few weeks. Indeed, such a bill of fare as has been provided for the delectation of cricketers by those who have been entrusted with the task of cater­ ing at Hastings, has rarely come under my notice. On Thursday next and two fol­ lowing days, the Yorkshire eleven are to appear on the Hastings ground in opposi­ tion to Eighteen of the District, and this is to be followed by other fixtures of interest, in which the local cricketers will have to meet strong combinations such as M.C.C. and Ground, Surrey Club and Ground, Eastbourne, Hastings, and Cry­ stal Palace Clubs. T he chief attraction, though, will be the Hastings and St. Leonards Week, which is to be opened on Thursday, Sept. 8. The first three days will be devoted to a match between the North and South o f England, to be followed by two fixtures extended to two days, Gentlemen o f Surrey v. Gentlemen of Sussex on Sept. 12 and 13, and Gentlemen of Sussex v. Players of Sussex on the two succeeding days. T he elevens to do battle for the North and South will, I hear, comprise most of the leading cricketers of the day, and the authorities at Hastings are to be con­ gratulated on their enterprise in fam ish­ ing such a brilliant wind-up to the cricket season. Messrs. W . W . Bead, W . New­ ham, K. J. Key, A. M. Sutthery, and Herbert Pigg, with Lohmann, Maurice Bead, Abel, H. Phillips, G. G. Hearne, and Jesse Hide will represent the South, while the Northern eleven will be selected from Bates, Gunn, Sherwin, Ulyett, Emmett, Shrewsbury, Barlow, Briggs, Peel, Hall, Flowers, Barnes, Scotton, and
