THURSDAY, AUGUST 7 t h , 1890 Dafrilflrit (Sosstp, Tha abstract and brief chronlole of the time.— Eamltt, T h e Hastings and St. Leonards Fes­ tival, which has become one of quite the most popular gatherings of the cricket season, bids this year to be as great a success as ever, to judge by the names of the players who have promised to take part in one or other of the two fixtures. Commencing on Sept. 11 with North and South, the festival will end with the completion of the match between the South and the Australians, which will follow on with a Sunday intervening. I have been favoured by Mr. F. G. Harding, who is the acting manager in the absence of Mr. T. J. Carless, the hon. sec., with a list of the players from whom the teams will be selected. These will be enough to show the quality of the fare which is to be provided for the amusement of the hundreds who will visit Hastings next month on cricket intent. D r . W. G . G race will, of course, captain the South team in both matches, and he will be assisted in each case by ten selected from the following :—Messrs. W. W. Read, A. J. Webbe, A. E. Stoddart, K. J. Key, F. Fielding, H. Pigg, E. J. McCor­ mick, and Abel, Martin, Lohmann, Quaife, Sharpe, and Beaumont. The Northern eleven will be chosen from Mr. J. A. Dixon, Mr. F. B. Spofforth, Attc- well, Briggs, Gunn, Peel, Pilling, Shrews­ bury, F. Sugg, TJlyett, A. Ward, Sherwin, Wainwright and Hall. A week’s cricket such as this, introducing, as it will, the majority of the leading amateur and pro­ fessional players of the day, can not fail to be popular, and every well-wisher of the game will wish the promoters the thorough success their enterprise so richly deserves. T h e following is from “ R . T .” :— The “ Incogs.” were located during the whole of last week at the palatial mansion of Mr. Sydney Platt, at Llanfairfechan, where, on the picturesque cricket-ground attached to the residence, they played tw o matches against the B ryn -y-N euadd club, and not only had a m ost enjoyable time, but also had the satisfaction of departing without being leathered. C ricket w ill, as usual, duly give the scores, but it m ay be notified that for the hom e team Mr. “ Nick ” H ornby hit away in his most dashing and jubilant style, although handicapped—as matured oricket warriors oft are—with a game leg and sprained sinews whilst Eastwood, the residential “ pro., popped down his lengthers most artistically and IF the fielding had partaken m ore of the landing-net order a different total m ight have been seen on the telegraph. A h !— IF . W hat a splendid and consolatory word this is to cricketers, and how often it coaxes, soothes, and almost makes losers inwardly vote them ­ selves winners ! F or the visitors the brothers Inglis gave a fine display of effective hitting, whilst the bowling of the Incog. D octor, the snapping of the Kentish L ion, and the point­ ing of the Colonel went a long w ay towards the victories. And, in conclusion, it must be added that the genial welcome and hospitality of the host and charm ing hostess was of the heartiest, and that the adieu greetings on de- arture of one and all were joined with the ope of m any reunions in the seasons to come. A F a c t .— Overheard at a recent cricket match. First Young Lady (pointing to the canvas screen placed behind the wicket to prevent the batsman from being interrupted in his play by seeing anyone passing behind the bowler’s arm): “ What is that for ? ” Second Young Lady, in reply: “ Oh, that’s to keep the draught off the hall / ”
