J ja fjilk n t G o s s i p , The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— ___________________________ Hamlet, T h e long score of 614 made by Surrey against Oxford this week, it may be of interest to some CRiCKET-readers to know, is the sixth innings of over600 the County eleven have to their credit since 1883. The particularsofthese sixinnings—which have, it may be added, all been made at the Oval—will be of use, no doubt, to those who busy themselves with the statistics of the cricket field. The totals are given in numerical order. 698—v. Sussex, Aug. 9,1888. 650—v. Hampshire, Maj 24, 1883. 650—v. Oxford Univ., June 26,1888. 635 -v. Somersetshire, Aug. 10,1885. 631—v. Sussex, June 29,1885. 614—v. Oxford Univ., June 25,1889. Mr. Gresson, of the Oxford eleven, has the most reason to complain in the matter of these long scores, as he has had the fortune to field out while 1,962 runs were got in the three last matches he has played at the Oval—to wit, the 650 of Oxford and 698 of Sussex last year, and 614 of Oxford this week. M e . G. F. W e lls -C o le has been supplementing the extraordinary perform­ ance at Lincoln on June 15, to which I calledattention onThursday, by somehigh scoring during last week in the course of the annual tour of the Marylebone Club to the Sussex Schools. It will be seen from the appended particulars of his scores that the Schools had some long outings during their several engagements with the Marylebone Club. Total of Inns. June 17—T. Ardingly College 123 316 „ 18— t . Lancing College 68 328 for 6 wkts. (innings declared finished.) „ 19—y. Eastbourne Coll. 164 509 for 7wkts. „ 20—v. Brighton College 167 278 for 7wkts. „ 21—v. Hurst College 8 116 „ 22—South Lynn i 313 From this list it will be seoj. : Wells-Cole scored 534 runs , matches, giving an average of Marylebone eleven altogether, too, were credited with an aggregate of 1,890 runs for fifty wickets, so that their average was just under 38 runs for each wicket. I t is worthy of remark, too, in connec­ tion with the tour, that on each of the first four days Messrs. O. B. Borradaile and Wells-Cole made over a hundred runs before awicket fell, the score showing 112, 100, 192 and 101 when Mr. Borra­ daile was out on the respective days. I may add that the Marylebone Club has for the last eight years arranged and carried out a week's trip among the Sussex Schools. T h e number of cricketers who are left- handed batsmen is so very small by com­ parison, that any performance of theirs out of the common is worthy of excep­ tional record. The left-handers, too, were in rare form with the bat at the end of last week, and on Friday no less than three were credited with an innings of over a hundred in important matches. I need hardly add that the scores to which I refer were R. Peel, 158, for Yorkshire v. Middlesex, at Lord’s. Mr. F. G. J. Ford, 123, for Cambridge Univ. v. Sussex, at Brighton. Mr. J. S. Carriob, 123, for Eleven of Scot­ land v. Notts County, at Glasgow, M r. James S te w a r t G a rrick is the Scotch amateur who, it will be remem­ bered, scored 419 not out, for the West of Scotland against Priory Park, at Chich­ ester, on July 13 and 14, 1885, the highest individual score recorded at the time, though since beaten by Mr. A. E. Stod- dart’s 485, for Hampstead, v. The Stoics, at Hampstead, on August 4, 1886. N on e of the writers who have com­ mented on the great run-getting match between Middlesex and Yorkshire at
