Cricket: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAMS 41, 8 T. ANDREVf 8 HILL, LONDON, E.O. THURSDAY, APRIL 14 th , 1887.

W r ig h t , Manager of C ricket , at the Office. 41, St. Andrew’s Hill, Doctors’ Commons, E.C. team in the Jubilee match on the ground of the Calcutta Club, on February 16 and 17. On that occasion he had the satisfac­ tion of fielding out while Mr. Clement Mitchell, a few years ago a conspicuous member of the Urystal Palace Club, was compiling an exceptionally brilliant score of 246, the highest innings, by the way, ever recorded on the Calcutta ground. This must have been almost if not his last appearance on the cricket field, for he died of fever at Calcutta on March 26, a little more than a month afterwards. Mr. Moncrieffe, as Harrovians need hardly be reminded, was in the Harrow Elevens of 1877 and two following summers, and did good service at Lord’s, particularly in his last year. The Eton and Harrow teams of 1879 were both much above the average, and Mr. Moncrieffe enjoyed the distinction of being the most successful run-getter in a far from run-getting game, being not out 34 at the close, with Harrow’s second innings showing 69 for the loss of four wickets. He was the winner of the Ebrington Batting Cup at Harrow, as well as joint winner of the Fielding Cup in 1879, and as he was in addition a valuable change bowler, there were few better all­ round players among the Public School elevens of that season. He was the second son of the late Sir Thomas Moncrieffe, Bart., and Lady Louisa Moncreiffe. He had not yet completed his twenty-seventh year. M e . F. B. S h a dw ell, who, if I mistake not, had acted as Secretary of the Chiswick Park Club since its formation, has recently retired from the responsibilities of office. He has been succeeded by Mr. F. E. Street, a good cricketer for many years actively identified with the Uppingham Rovers Incogniti, and other clubs of influence. Mr. Street was in the Uppingham School eleven of 1868, and though born in Mid­ dlesex played some twelve or thirteen years ago occasionally for Kent, in which county he resided. Under his auspices the Chiswick Park Club has arranged a capital programme this summer. Among the matches I notice one between Mr. A. J. Webbe’s Eleven—I take it a Middlesex team practically—and Oxford University, down for June 23 and following days. $ a m $ t The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— BcmUt T he news of the death ol Mr. Thomas George Harry Moncreiffe will be received with deep regret, not only by his many friends in England but also in India, where he had of late years given unmis takable proofs of his ability as a cricketer It was only in last month’s C kicket that his name appeared as one of the Ballyganj M r . E. A. J. Maynard, of West House, Chesterfield, the captain of the Derby­ shire County Eleven, is one of the latest additions to the noble army of mar------ 1 mean Benedicts. An announcement in the Daily News of last week states that he was married at Smalley Church on April 2nd to Margaret Blanche Wilmot-Sitwell, daughter of R. S. W. Sitwell, of Stains- bury, Derbyshire. Mr. Maynard’s friends, and he made many at Harrow, Cambridge, and in county cricket, will offer him the heartiest wishes in his new estate. The following announcement from the Sydney Mail will no doubt be of interest to some C rick et readers:— Mr. Holt, an English oricketer who wears the Marylebone Olub colours, and who is a member of the Richmond (Surreyi Club, has been playing |in Christchurch, N.Z., recently
