THURSDAY, A PB IL 19 th , 1888. T h e ab stract and b rie f chronicle o f th e tim e.— Hamlet. I n a hasty notice last week of the fine performance of Mr. C. W. L. Bulpett at Newmarket a fortnight ago I had not the opportunity, nor, I am bound to con­ fess, at the time the materials, for any­ thing but a mere mention of the fact that he had figured in important cricket. The following particulars of the chief incidents in his record as an athlete, furnished me by an Old Bug, who is able to write on this subject with particular authority, will be read with interest I am sure— He was in the Rugby Eleven in 1871, a fair bat and field as well as a good fast bowler. He also played for Middlesex, and was one of the eleven Gentlemen of Marylebone who opposed the Parsees at Lord’s in 1886. He suc­ ceeded A. G. Guillemard as Hon. Sec. of the Butterflies Club, and was in his turn succeeded by C. F. H. Leslie. A t Rugby he held the “ Bigside Bags,” i.e., was head of the cross­ country running, and when at Oxford was President of the Athletic Club. His New­ market feat is wonderful, when you consider that he is about thirty-five; it is distinctly one of the greatest amateur performances of the century. S o m e C r ic k e t readers will, no doubt, remember the visit of the two American Base Ball teams to this country several years ago. It hardly seems to me that fourteen summers have passed since they were amongst us, but that it is so long ago is a fact, as a letter just received from one of the party—A. G. Spalding, now resident in Chicago, and at the present time one of the greatest authorities on Base Ball in America—proves beyond a doubt. D u r i n g that tour, I need hardly remind those who have any recollections of its incidents, in addition to the exhibitions they gave at the game which can fairly claim to be called the national sport of America, the Base Bailers played a series of cricket matches against some of the leading clubs, and, considering the diffi­ culties with which they had to contend, with a fair and certainly creditable amount of success. If only on account of this con­ nection C r ic k e t readers will be interested to hear of a still more elaborate trip of a similar character, nothing less than the visit of two well selected and picked teams of American Base Ball players to Australia next winter. Messrs. A. J. REACH & Co., 23, S. Eighth St., Philadelphia, have been appointed agents for the sale of CRICKET in the United States. Subscriptions to and Orders for the Paper, can be paid to or given to them. A. G . S p a l d in g , who is the President of the Chicago Ball Club, writes me that he means to undertake the venture attributed to him, and as far as I under­ stand his agent is already in the Colonies
