THURSDAY, JULY 2 4 t h , 1890. fjafrHtmt <&miip. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet, Som e months since I announced that the leaders of the Dutch Cricket Union were sounding their players with a view to sending a team over to England to play a few matches at the end of this season. It was hoped that the visit would become an accomplished fact, and matters went so far that more than one of the principal Metropolitan clubs had agreed to make fixtures in anticipation of the probable visit of a Dutch team. It has been found impossible, though, to conclude the necessary arrangements to ensure a visit next month, and the managers of cricket in Holland have therefore wisely determined to defer the trip till next year. T h e Sherborne eleven of this year seems to have a youngster of no small promise in R. L. Leigh Clare. So far, this season, I understand he has taken sixty-one wickets for the School, at an average cost of 8.91. His best perform­ ances in this line have been :— May 27—v. Sherborne Town 8wkts. for 41rns. July 5—v. Lansdown 7wkts. for 40rns. July 10—v. West KentRegt. 6wkts. for 29rns. Besides being a smart field, he is also by no means a bad bat, having an average of 17 JL. this season. Against Wellington College he was credited with 28 (not out), and 23, and against Kingston Park he was in two hours for 25 runs.
