The abstract and brief chronicle ot the time.— ______ ___________ Hamlet, “ I th ink ,” writes a correspondent, “ the performances of A. E. Holdship during the past ten days or so are well worthy of notice in C r ic k e t . They are as follows :— BATTING. BOWLING. For Against Runs. Wkts. Rns, July 26. Surbiton. Hampstead. 80 6 for 55 July 28. Surbiton. Old Clifto- nians. 28 4 for 28 July 30. Surbiton. Kensington Park. 116 July 31. Surbiton. Wimbledon. 175 Aug. 1. Surbiton. Thespians. 53 3 for 33 Aug. 2. Surbiton. M.C.C. 38* On July 490 for five complete innings. 9 he did not go in. He has since been in Ireland with the Incogs, and I see by the papers that on August 4, v. Trinity Long Vacation Club, he made 8B, and on August 6 (the next match)), v. County Meath, 62, besides taking a lot of wickets. During the Surbiton week there was another fine performance by a member of the Surbiton Club, B. P. Sewell, who used to play for Essex. Against Kensington Park, on July 30, he made 210 not out, and by various people on the ground was timed to take only thirty-five minutes to complete his second hundred. So far, the Surbiton Club has had a successful season down here, having only lost two matches.” OUTFITS FOR CRICKET, ROWING, TENNIS, CYCLING, AND ALL SPORTS TO BE OBTAINED OF W . J .

C ricket readers will be glad to learn that the suggestion made a long time ago in “ Gossip ” that the Gentlemen of England should form the opposition to the Australians in the match to be played at Lord’s on September 8 and two follow­ ing days, for the benefit of the Cricketers’ Fund, is to be acted upon. It would have been a great reflection on the amateur cricketers of England if the Australians had been allowed to leave this country without trying conclusions with them. The match will be one of the most interesting in the Australian pro­ gramme, and the Fund should receive a very substantial addition to its exchequer.
