Cricket 1887

NOV. 24, 1887. C R IC K E T : A W E E K L Y RECORD OF THE GAME . 451 ‘ SCORES AND BIOGRAPHIES.” Arrangements have been made, we are pleased to be able to announce, for the continuation of Mr. Arthur Haygarth’s valuable collection of cricket records issued under the above title. As cricketers know, thirteen volumes have already been issued, bringing the history of the game up to the end of the year 1876. A com­ mencement has now been made with the fourteenth volume, which will embrace the three following years. The work will be continued strictly on the old lines, and Mr. Haygarth will prepare and revise the material as heretofore. The continua­ tion, which will entail avery large expense, has been undertaken by several' cricketers in the interest of the game, and it is to be hoped that the cricket public will give its support. The fourteenth volume will be published at 10s. 6d., and will be issued solely to subscribers, who must remit the amount in advance. Subscription forms will be sent on application to the manager of C r i c k e t , 41, St. Andrew’s-hill, if a postal wrapper is forwarded. Any other particulars can also be had on communi­ cation of Mr. W. R. Wright, the manager above named. WATERLOW AND SONS’ CLUB. F irst E leven . M atches played 17— w on 5, lost 6, draw n 6.

A correspondent has been kind enough to forward us a full, true, and particular account of a match played on the ground of the Shanghai Club on Sept. 29 and 30, under the above title. The members of the contending elevens belonged to the Shanghai Club, and as the score which follows will show, the Scotch­ men gained a most meritorious victory with only one wicket to spare. The finish was very exciting, and the winning side were—as they deserved—heartily cheered by their opponents for the pluck with which they had pulled a game which, when the last two batsmen became partners, seemed to be altogether lost, out of the fire. When they entered on their second innings the representatives of Scotland wanted 133 to win, and, on the fall of the ninth wicket, only 76 of this number had been got. The chances of the in side then seemed to be of the poorest, particularly as Black, the only re­ maining batsman, had hurt his foot on the previous day, and was obliged to have Bruce Robertson as a substitute to run for him. A, Stewart, who had gone in third wicket down with the total at 14, however, found in Black a stout ally, and the pair put on 59 runs, winning the match for their side amidst the greatest excitement. The not-outs were carried to the pavilion in triumph. E n g l a n d . First Innings. Second Innings. G. T. Veitch, b Stewart ... 0 cScobt.b Stewart 2 H.

He was in China on a visit to his brother, Mr. C. T. Studd, who, it will be remembered, went out as a missionary to that country two years ago. A t the annual meeting of the Carlton Club held in Sydney on Sept. 14, Mr. T. Nunn was chosen one of the vice-presidents, and Mr. C. W. Beal one of the two non. secs. Messrs. T. Nunn, P . S. McDonnell, and A. Bannerman form the selection committee for this season. The four named are all well-known to Eng­ lish cricketers. N E X T IS SU E , DECEMBER 29!
