Cricket 1888

234 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OP THE GAME. JU N E 28. 1888. knowledge extending over a long period, for the hearty and keen interest he took in cricket and cricketers. Of late, he had been prevented from following his usual duties, and his death, which took place at Sheffield on Saturday last, brought to an end a long term of suffering. Pallida Mors removed, too, on the same day another figure, at one time well- known in the cricket, world. James Chester, a cricketer who did good service for Surrey in the early days of the County Club, passed quietly away at Wimbledon on Saturday last. Chester, whose son appeared once or twice in the Surrey eleven about fifteen years ago, was engaged at Lord’s in 1849 as well as in part of the following summer, but gave up his position there. He was a round- arm bowler of middle pace, as well as a fine hitter and good out field, and at the end of the forties was quite in the forefront of cricketers. He represented Surrey from 1846 for thirteen years with credit, and his batting contributed greatly to the victory of fourteen of Surrey over England, at the Oval, in August, 1848.

Rain interfered materially with the later stages of the last of the Cambridge trial matches, begun on Monday last at Lord’s, and the game had to be abandoned at half-past two o’clook. No play was possible before luncheon on T aesday, but in Spite of the limited duration of play, on each of the last two days, 622 runs were scored. Though weak in batting Marylebone had a fairly good bowling side, and the total of the University, though Mr. Kemp’s 46 was the highest score, was on the whole a creditable performance. They fared quite as well, too, when they took the field, as after getting seven of the best wickets of the M.C.C. down on Monday night for 91, Messrs. W oods and Ford speedily brought the innings to a close on Tuesday afternoon for an addition of only eight runs, Following on in a minority of 103 the earlier batsmen of M.C.C. scored'at a great rate, and thanks in some measure to bad fielding runs came very rapidly. Chatterton, whose batting was the redeeming feature of the first innings, gave a difficult chance to mid-off when he had made only three. Though he grave another easy one of stumping when he had reached 50, he played on the whole fine cricket. Later on Mr.Fowell and West,helped by mistakes in the field, put on runs faster than any of their pre­ decessors, and when play ceased on Tuesday night M.C.C. had scored 270 runs in just over three hours for the loss of only half their wickets. A resumption was not possible yesterday until half-past twelve o’clock, and after 45 had been added at the cost of two batsmen,the over-nightnot-outs,Mr.Powell and West, rain stopped the game. As it continued heavily at half-past two o’clock it was decided to give up further play, Marylebone being 214 on with four wickets to fall. Twelve batted on each side, but only eleven fielded. H. J.

NOTTS v. KENT. Though Kent had not its full strength for this important match, begun at Nottingham on Monday, its representatives played up so pluckily that they were able to claim the advantage in the later stages, and finally to gain a most creditable victory by six wickets. Notts winning the toss, naturally chose to get first; use of an excellent wicket, and, thanks chiefly to Gunn, Attewell, and Mr. Daft, put together a creditable total of 201. Attewell gave no chance until just before he was out, but the b eB t show of the innings was that of Gunn. He made 73 out of 14$ scored during the 3 hours he was in, and there was not what could be called a real chance to mar a sound display of batting. After losing one batsman (F. Hearne) on Monday night for 38 runs, Kent occupied the wickets forthe whole of the second day, and then had still one batsman to be dismissed. The scoring throughout the day was very much below the average, as can be judged when we state that only 210 runs were added between eleven and half-past six o’clock. The rate of scoring, indeed, through­ out was only 33 runs an hour, and Walter Wright was batting three hours and a half for his score of 37. On resuming yesterday morning, Pentecost hit freely, and 35—of which Pentecost contributed 24—were added before the innings closed. _ Going in again in a minority of 82, Notts fared badly, and the bowling of the two left-handers, Wootton and Wright, proved so effective that only one of the eleven, Gunn, did anything noteworthy. Gunn, who had shown such admirable cricket in the first innings, -again batted in his very best style, and he was responsible for exactly one half of the total of 112. Kent had only 31 to get to win, and this number was got for the loss of four batsmen, leaving them si£ wickets to the good. Alec Hearne had not been able to represent Kent since quite the commencement of the season, owing to an injury to his back. Mr. Fox, who only made his debut against Surrey at the Oval a fort­ night ago, was, it will be seen, chief scorer for Kent. N o t ts . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. J. A. Dixon, c A.
