I n n in g s containing three scores of over a hundred are rare enough at any time, and even on tlie run-getting wickets we have had during the last few months few have come under m y immediate notice. One of the most recent instances of the kind was furnished by the match between Mr. J. W . Hobbs’ Eleven and Mitcham, played at Norbury on Saturday last. Mitcham have been very successful this year, and their bowling is considerably above the average of ordinary clubs. On this occasion, though, Mr. T. P. Harvey, one of the most successful amateur bowlers round London, and Lyddon had a bad time of it, and Mitcham, who lost the toss, had a day’s leather-hunting, having to field out while 515 runs were got. To this number three Surrey pro­ fessionals each contributed—R. Hender­ son 101, Bowley 113, and James Caffarey not out 105. Mr. Hobbs’ ground at Norbury Park is one of the prettiest in the country, and to judge by the scoring lately the wickets there, too, have no superiors, A h u n d r e d for the last wicket is another event of infrequent occurrence in any class of match. A capital per­ formance of this sort was, I notice, recorded last Thursday at Dorking, in the match between the Leatherhead and Dorking Clubs. F. Sturt, the last bats­ man on the Leatherhead side, went to the wickets with the score at 208, and, together with his brother, who was then in, put on 126 for the last wicket. Of this number F. Sturt contributed 94, and
