The abstract and brief ohronicle of the time.— _______________________ Hamlet. T h e deathof Lieutenant-Colonel George Frederick Dallas at tha commencement of last month removed another cricketer who figured prominently in Public School matches in the forties. Colonel Dallas— who died on Feb. 2—though only fifty- nine, formed one of the Harrow Eleven as far back as 1843, an early age to obtain such honours, as he was then only fifteen years old. He was a pretty batsman, and a fine field at point. After leaving School Colonel Dallas—a grandson, by the way, of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Dallas, Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas— sought the bubble reputation in the cannon’s month, and did good service in the Crimean war with the 46th Regiment. He was in the thick of the fight at the battle of Alma as well as at Inkerman, and received the distinction of the Knight­ hood of the Legion of Honour. J. J. L yons , who is now on his way to England as a member of the Sixth Aus­ tralian team, was one of the chief per­ formers in some tall run-getting recorded on the Adelaide Oval on the 27th of January. The match was between the North Adelaide and Norwood Clubs, and so fast did runs come after a short time that, exclusive of the interval, 308 runs were made in the last two hours and a quarter. The pace, though, was the warmest when the Norwood innings began, and Lyons, who was still in with 101 runs to his credit, and the two Giffens (George and Walter) in an hour and a quarter had made 171 for the loss of one wicket, that of George Giffen. The latter, in his 44, hit one six (a straight drive out of the ground), one five, and five fours, and Lyons, in addition to two fives, was credited with as many as twenty fours, or ninety of his 101 in twenty-two strokes. In one over from E. G. Phillips he hit five fours. L oretto cricket has recently received another distinction by the appointment of Mr. R. J. Mackenzie, of Keble College, Oxford, to the Rectorship of the Edinburgh Academy in succession to Dr. Harvey. The new Rector, who is the third son of the late Lord Mackenzie, was ten years at Loretto School, where he was at once the best scholar and the best athlete of his day. He played five years for the eleven, and in 1876 in particular scored heavily, getting over a hundred twice in one week, to wit, 136 against the Royal Dragoons, and 104 against Dalkeith. In addition to being an excellent field, he was a very successful lob bowler, and on one occasion, against Royal High School F.P. in 1876, took eighteen wickets for 59 runs. He was also, too, a good all-round athlete, gaining several Inter-Scholastic prizes for running, pole-jumping, jumping, and hurdle-racing. After leaving Oxford, Mr. Mackenzie held a mastership at Loretto for a short time, and for the last six years has been a master at Clifton College. I q u ite accidentally came across the following by no means unamusing anec­ dote in the Answers to Correspondents of an Australian paper—if my memory serves me, the Australatian —recently to hand: “ Amateur Umpire.”—No, but it is recorded that during a match in the West of England, a bowler delivered a ball, and in doing sowent over the crease. “ Noball,” called the umpire. It was not straight, and he yelled “ Woide.” The batsman reaohed out and hit it. “ W e ll ’it,” added the umpire. Thirdman caught the b a ll; “ W e ll caught,” shouted the umpire, NEXT ISSUE, APRIL 12.
