T elegraph B oards — A new thing in the way of Telegraph Boards was in use at Lord’s during the m atch w hich began on Monday. It is patented by Messrs. Paget and Co. of Loughborough, and is much m ore com plete than the boards ordinarily used. E ach run is added to the full score os soon as made, and, under the num bers of the batsm en, their individual totals are also Kept up. The figures after each run was scored were worked with great rapidity, and the board is undoubtedly an im provem ent on the old one. Indeed, when figures can be so quickly altered, there is practically little lim it to w hat may be done with a telegraph board.— T h e F ie l d , September 18, 1886. The Scoring Board introduced at Lord’s this week marks a new departure in the way of providing inform ation for the cricket public. The board is a distinct im provem ent on the ordinary arrangements. In the first place it shows the num ber of runs in units instead of tens as now. and in addition m arks the individual scores of the batsm en run by run. It is sure to be highly appreciated by the cricket public, who will be thoroughly posted up with the scores of the batsm en as well as w ith the general state of the game.— C ricket , Sept. 16,1886.
