Average, 19.4 * At the seat of the Duke of St. Albans, com ­ m enced as XI. o f I Zingari Club and finished as M.C.C. and Ground. In all he has played on the side of the Notts County Eleven 253 innings, has been seven­ teen times not out, scored 4,328 runs, and shows a general average of 18.120. On thirty-two ocoasions he has failed to score in the above matches, but never once has he been dismissed with a “ pair of spectacles ” to his name, a fact of great merit in a member of a county eleven. His performances in other matches of note have been commented upon in our pages some time since, and need not now be recapitulated. His doings, Mr. Spybey adds, may be of interest to C ricket readers, as this year John Selby is given a benefit by the Notts County Committee. The match he has chosen is Notts v. Yorkshire, at Nottingham, on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, June 16, 17, 18. Fine weather, which we hope for, will be productive of a good gate, as these two old contesting counties always command keen cricket, and no match in the Notts list is more eagerly watched.
