IJabilimt (Sosstp, The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— ______________ _______________ S amlet. I t lias been my good fortune to notice not a few instances of consistently high scoring by cricketers this season. None of them, though, surpasses the record of Mr. 0. A. S. Leggatt for the Ewell Club. Mr. Leggatt’s innings for Ewell so far have been as follow May 11th—v. Beddington, 61 (not out). May 18th—v. Clapham Wanderers, 18. May 22nd—v. Ashtead, 82. June 8th—v. Leatherhead, 15. June 16th—v. Old Finchleians, 21. June 26th—v. The Thespians, 153. June 29th—v. Cheam, 162 (not out). July 6th—v. Beddington, 188. This gives an aggregate of 690 rims, and an average for six completed innings of 115. His out-cricket, too, has been of the greatest service, as, in addition to being a first-class field, he has been use­ ful with the ball, having secured upwards of twenty wickets in the same matches. Mr. Leggatt will be remembered by many, no doubt, as the fast bowler who did such execution for Bugby against Marlborough in 1878. Of late years he has done good service for the Free Foresters. T h e writer of “ School Recollections of a Very Old Boy” in the last number of the Harrovian gives a copy of the “ Card of the Match ” sold at Lord’s during the Eton and Harrow match of 1837, which will be of some interest just at this time when we are on the eve of the sixty-third meeting between the two Schools. Cricket. A grand match Will be played in Lord’s Cricket Ground, Marylebone, On Thursday, August 3rd, 1837, and following day. The gentlemen of Eton against the gentlemen of Harrow. P l a y e r s .

Dark, on the Ground. An Ordinary at three o’clock. Admittance 6d. Good Stabling on the Ground. No Dogs admitted. The scores, I may add, are not ap­ pended to the card. After all, the cricket public of to-day has much to be graceful for in themany additional comforts which were unknown to their ancestors of half a century ago. The “ Very Old Boy,” too, in the same article, gives us an idea of the difficulties against which those who had the respon­ sibility of collecting and managing the Public School teams of fifty years back had to contend.
