THURSDAY, JUNE 10TH, 1890 Ijafjtftmt <& 0 sstp. Hu abstract andbriefchionlcl* ot th. time.— ___ HamUt T h e recent performances of the young Oxford Freshman, Mr. G. F. H. Berkeley, have caused a good deal of speculation as to the part ne is likely to take in oricket outside that of his University. Unfortunately, being an Irishman by every tie, he is not qualified to represent any English county. Born in Dublin on Jan. 29, 1870, he lives in County Cork, so that he is Irish thew and sinew, by residence as well as birth. Before he entered Wellington College, he was at a private school in Kent, called Bingslow, now broken up. He did not do anything there noteworthy as a cricketer, and it was indeed not until the summer term of 1883, when he went to Wellington, that he began to bowl. His best performances at Wellington were six wickets for 36 runs v. Charterhouse in 1886, eleven wickets for 44 v. Kensington Park, six wickets for 15 v. C.C.C., Oxford, in 1888, seven wickets for 85 v. Haileybury, and eight for 43 against C.C.C. in 1889. Hishighest innings for Wellington was his 82 against the Free Foresters in 1889. A lo ver of the game thinks that the following instance of history repeating itself in cricket will be of interest to C r ic k e t readers:— SURREY v. NOTTS. 1887, Oval— Shrewsbury, o Wood, b Lohmann .. 41 1890, Trent Bridge— Shrewsbury, b Lohmann .. ,, 41 Both in first innings. Also 1887, Oval— Lohmann, not out .......................35 1890, Trent Bridge— Lohmann, not out .........................35 Both in second innings. The only difference, as will be seen, is that Shrewsbury was caught in ’87, and bowled in ’90. A mong the paragraphs (writes Mr. A . B. Malden, of The Close, Salisbury) which Jesse Hide’s feat of getting four wickets with four consecutive balls has produoed, I have not noticed any reference to the performance of Mr. Arthur Cazenove (now Canon Cazenove) in the match between the Undergraduates of Oxford and Oxford­ shire, played May 5 and 6, 1858, at Oxford. Oxfordshire included suoh well- known players as the Hon. Chandos Leigh, E. T. Drake, A . H. Faber, Hon. C. B. Fiennes, and Messrs. B. C. and C. D. Marsham. Mr. Cazenove clean bowled five wickets in one over! By accident the umpire allowed five balls, and with each ball he lowered a wicket. Vide “ Scores and Biographies ” iv. p. 447. Canon Cazenove is still, thirty-seven years after the date of the above men. tioned bit of bowling, an enthusiastic cricketer and supporter of cricket. I played with him last year, when his bowling got five or six of the wickets of his opponents, who were the students of the Downton College of Agriculture, all young and active, and mostly fresh from public schools. M r . A. L. K e m p , who appeared for Middlesex for the first time in the match against Lancashire, commenced at Lord’s on Thursday, is a member o f the South­ gate Club, for which he h a s been scoring heavily this season.
