The subject of the above obituary notice, which appeared in the Daily News of the 14th inst., will be well remembered by many C rick et readers as a liberal supporter of the game some twenty years ago. In 1865 Mr. Norton started a club called the Northwood Park, after his seat bearing that title, and situated near Rickmansworth. Oddly enough, he did not take to cricket until between fifty and sixty years of age, at a period of life when most players have retired from the game. Before he had a cricket ground of his own, Mr. Norton had the privilege of practising in Moor Park, the residence of Lord Ebury, whose sons were subsequently occasionally to be found in the Northwood Park team. Moor Park was about two miles distant from Mr. Norton’s home, but the keen old sportsman used to go there regularly for practice, and after returning to Northwood Park, was at his place of business, Wharf Road, City Road, by nine o’clock in the morning. Though he took to cricket so late in life, he entered into the sport with all the enthusiasm of j'outh. He played in all the matches of which he was the promoter, and no matter how fast the bowling, continued to take the wicket until lie gave up the game, which was not until the lapse of several years. He did. everything in his power to encourage cricket and cricketers, and among those who played for his team were Messrs. E. Calvert, T. Shackle, E. Rutter and other amateurs, in addition to the pro­ fessionals, W . Gilby, long connected with Harrow School, and Coleman. The last- named, whom he engaged as his ground- man, was a useful all-round cricketer who played a by no means unimportant part in Hertfordshire cricket during the time of the late Mr. II. A. Fitzgerald. Mr. Norton not only had a club at Northwood Park, but also one for h i 3 employes at Wharf Road, find played in all the matches. In addition to the professionals named, John Hughes (of Herts), W. Caldecourt, and others were utilised to help him to win his matches, and on several occasions he sent to the Middlesex County Ground, at that time at the Cattle Market, to engage the late George Howitt to play for him in one-day matches against the Islington Albion at a very high figure. I can re­ member an extraordinary occurrence (one of many I have witnessed) during the course of one of his enjoyable matches at North­ wood Park. The vicar of Batchworth Heath and his wife were looking on, in a position square to, and some distance from, the wicket. The ball, h it very hard, struck the lady’s hand, holding a sunshade, and not only broke the stick, but dislocated one of her fingers. The lady fainted, and the shock to the vicar was so great that he was laid up for some months through the fright. The case was reported at the time in the London daily papers as an “ Extraordinary Accident in a Cricket Field.” Mr. Norton was a timber merchant in a very large way of business. CRICKET IN NEW ZEALAND. W ELLINGTON v. NELSON. I n t e r -P ro v in cia l M a tch .— Played at Nel­ son on December 2G and 27,1887. The wicket was exceptionally difficult, and this accounts for the small scores obtained by both teams, although the Wellingtons, especially, were very strong in batting. The Nelson men -were without the services of Mr. WxFord, the old Middlesex cricketer, who was raiable to play. Nelson won by nine wickets. W ellin g t on . First Innings. Second Innings. A.
