E dw in G oodyear , the well-known Bedfordshire professional, who was for years engaged at Elstree School, in a match last Thursday between Kensworth and Leagrave, brought off the hat trick by bowling three of the Leagrave bats­ men with successive balls. He also, I may add, scored thirty runs, a good start for a first match. Goodyear has been hard at cricket for over a quarter of a century, and has borne a high reputation in the neighbourhood of London as a good all-round player for many years. I be­ lieve I am within the mark in saying that thirty summers have passed since Robert Thoms secured him his first berth as a “ pro.’ I t is gratifying, as an instanoe of the good feeling which animates the sport- loving public of Greater Britain to the cricketers of the old country, to notice, from the advices received by the last mail, that though out of sight for some time, poor Bates has not been by any means out of mind with our brothers in Victoria. It will be interesting to C ricket readers generally to know that a football match between the Carlton and Port Melbourne Clubs was played on the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday, March 81, with the object of helping the fund being raised in the Colonies as a mark of sympathy with Bates in the serious injury he received to his eye during his tour with Mr. Vernon’s team. The match was witnessed by about 12,000 persons, and as the gate receipts amounted to i'189 5s. 6d., the fund ought to benefit considerably. I quite agree with the remarks of “ Mid- on,” the cricket critic of the Melbourne Leader, “ that the kindly consideration shown in this colony [i.e., Victoria] for Bates after he had left for the old country shows genuine sympathy, and is most creditable to all concerned.” English cricketers will heartily appreciate this proof of the kindly interest and practical sympathy of their brethren from over the sea. It is the one touch of nature which makes the whole world akin. T hotjoh the season has hardly begun, and the weather so far has not been of the kind most congenial to cricketers, some fast run-getting has already been recorded in various parts of the country. In a match played on Saturday last at Buckhurst Hill, between the Clapton and Buckhurst H ill Clubs, the home team
