The abstract and brief chronicle of the _________________________________ Hamlet, T he news of the successful re-appear­ ance of Mr. J. M. Cotterill for Sussex, against Surrey at Brighton last week, will have been received with great satisfaction by all who can, like myself, remember him at his best. Some fifteen years ago he was, in fact, quite in the front of amateur cricketers, a safe run-getter against any bowling, a fine free hitter, and a dangerous batsman against the best bowlers. He played first for Sussex in 1870, when only eighteen years old, but the pursuit o f medical duties at Edin­ burgh, where he now occupies a high position as a surgeon, prevented him from helping his native county for more than a few summers, and for several years he has practically been an absentee from first- class cricket. He kept up his batting, though, after he settled in Edinburgh, and ten years ago made a huge score of 271 in the Inter-City match against Glasgow. As an all-round athlete he was much above the average. Three times in Scotland he threw the cricket ball over 110 yards, and in the Scottish Inter-University sports at Edinburgh on March 27, 1875, reached 121 yards, one of the best authenticated records of the kind. Mr. J. M. Cotterill’s elder brother, Eev. G. E. Cotterill, scored 17 and 55 for Cambridge against Oxford in 1859, and was in his day, too, a fine all-round cricketer. Mr. G. H. Cotterill, who was tried for Sussex in a few matches last year, and scored heavily in the Fresh­ men’s match at Cambridge in May, is his nephew.
