A professional who played a by no means unimportant part in oricket some thirty years since has passed over to the great majority this week. William Slinn, who died at Sheffield on Tuesday last, was in quite the first flight of bowlers in the early part of the sixties, and in Ike Hodgson and him Yorkshire had two of the best trundlers of the day. The two Yorkshiremen named, playing for Twenty-two of South Yorkshire against All England Eleven at Doncasterin 1862, got the latter out for 22 runs, Slinn securing seven of the ten wickets. Per­ haps, though, the best of his many perfor­ mances was in September of the same year at Scarborough. Playing for the Twenty-two of Scarborough against the All England Eleven, he helped to dismiss the latter for totals of 47 and 22, and took sixteen of the twenty wickets, all ten in the first innings. He was twenty- eight years of age before he appeared in a match of any importance, and when he played for the first time at Lord’s in 1860, representing the United against the All England Eleven, he was thirty-three years old. A Sheffielder by birth and residence, he retained his interest in local cricket until the last, and was a regular frequenter of Bramall Lano Cricket Ground. com b in a t io n NON-JARRING b a t s .

I notice in the Toronto Empire that a son of the famous professional who helped to put Surrey in the forefront of County cricket some thirty-three years since, and one bearing the same name, is doing creditable things on the cricket field on the other side of the big drink. Playing for St. Lawrence against Longwood at Boston on June 2, Julius Csesar bowled eighteen overs for twenty-three runs and eight wickets. George Wright, who was over here with the American Baseball players several years ago, and has had much to do with American cricket since it took root in the States, did a good performance in the same match for the other side. He went in first, and carried out his bat for 58 out of 97. A score of over five hundred is such a rarity in Saturday afternoon matches, that the performance of Burnley against Bacup—an appropriate name for a cricket centre — on Saturday last at Burnley, merits conspicuous notice.
