H e r b e r t T rou g h ton writes m e from the Finsbury Polytechnic, pointing out an important omission in my remarks of last week anent the best records for the first wickeo in important matches : As a constant reader o f C r i c k e t , w u ld you a llow me to call your attention to th the number o f runs made by Mr. W . and Abel for the first w icket at Sca last Saturday (the 7th), has been ree times beaten in an important and first-cl v iz., 283 by Mr, W . G . Grace and Cooper in 1869, 243 by Mr. K. J. Key and Mr. W . Rashleigh in the Oxford and C match o f 1886 (it is strange that th i ance should have been forgotten ), a Shrewsbury and Mr. Stoddart in 18 M r . B . E ll is , the Hon. Sec. of the Old Carthusian Club, sends me the fol­ lowing in reply to my question of last week on the subject of big hits :— As Mr. Pycro ft says he would be hear o f any great hits carefully m he m ight like to know that “ Box on ” is responsible for the follow ing par “ Martin, for m any years the grou Christ Church, O xford , says that Fellowes h it a ball 173 yards before and that the distance was carefully in his presence.” W hen early in t there was a discussion in the Sportsman on the subject o f big hit3, 1 sent the above quote paragraph to that paper. Colonel F brother of Mr. Walter Fellowes, recently interviewed on the subject was all true, and he believed t here erected on the Christ Chureh groun the spot.” A correspondent has sent me another instance of continuously good scoring in recent matches. The batsman in question is G. Harrison, the same who played several times for the Surrey Colts I take it. In his last eight innings for the Honor Oak Club, Harrison, as will be seen from the accompanying list, made 497 runs, and was three times not out. July 20—v . A lleyn , 111. Aug . 3—v. Northbrook, 99. Aug . 10—v. Commercial Union A Aug . 14—v. Townley Park, 130 n Aug . 17—v . G rove, 30. Aug . 31—v. Brockley, 37. Sept. 7—v. A lleyn , 6 not out. Sept. 14—v. B rixton , 56 not out. The above give an average for five completed innings of 99.2.
