Cricket: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 41, 8T. ANDREWS HILL, LONDON, E.C. T H U R S D A Y , S E P T EM B E R 25 t h , 1890 . Tha abstract and brief chionlol. of the time.— Hamlet, R ecen t Tasmanian newspapers express the universal regret felt in the colony at the death of Mr. Thomas Hogg, of Tre- vallyn, the Principal of the Collegiate Institute. In his younger days Mr. Hogg was a keen supporter of cricket, and his skill in bowling made his presence always welcome in the principal matches both in Hobart and Launceston. He took part in the match against Mr. W . G. Grace's eleven during the great batsman’s visit to Australia, and to him belonged the honour of being the first bowler who clean bowled the champion in the colonies. He also pulled a good oar, and was one of the crew in the first Inter­ colonial eight-oared race. A correspondent has sent me a sum­ mary of the innings played this year by A. E. Bishop, of Tenterden, which may be of interest to those who have the manage­ ment of Kent crioket. In all matches, including those of the London Ramblers, his figures are— Inns Not out Total Most in inn. Aver. 65 . . 18 .. 1,974 .. 154 .. 42 For Tenterden Park alone he scored 756 runs in seventeen innings, with five not outs, giving an average of 63. A. E. B. is twenty-four years of age, stands six feet high, and is also a good shot. He is the son of Edward Bishop, of Tenterden, late of Yalding, a good old sportsman and cricketer, who will this year hunt and manage a pack of harriers at Ten­ terden. Two-and-twenty years ago, when E. A. White played for Kent, the elder Bishop used, as many C ric k e t readers will remember, to get up some warm teams on Yalding Lees, including W. Yardley, W. W. Rodger, R. Lipscombe, and others. T h e Bishop of Tasmania, who will be better known to Old Harrovians as H. H. Montgomery, of the Harrow Cricket and Football Elevens twenty-five years ago, writes me from Bishop’s Court, Tasmania, in reference to a mistake of the publisher of “ Old Cricket and Cricketers,” to which I called attention in C ric k e t of June 12. H obart, Tasmania, A ug. 1,1890. I was horrified to see that m y good friend, the publisher, to whom I had given a few articles on crioket which I once wrote for the Kennington Parishioners, had put me down as “ late Captain of the H arrow E leven.” No one will have supposed that I could have been so disloyal to O. F . Buller and M . H . Stow, m y old captains, to have taken upon myself an honour to whioh I had no rigtlt. I trust the mistake will have been corrected. If you can find room for this in C bicket I should be much obliged. Tours sincerely, H. H. T a sm a n ia . It will interest the Bishop’s many cricketing friends in Kennington, where he spent so many years of his life, to know that tie is not likely to lose his interest in the game in his new home. Ha informs me, indeed, that next sum­ mer he proposes to Captain a team of clerics against a team of laymen, headed by the Chief Justice of Tasmania. A looker - on writes me—■ S ik ,—In a match played at Harringay Park between the Dryden Club and Fownes Bros,, on Saturday last, A rthur E . Chadwick, aged sixteen, succeeded in taking six wickets, all clean bowled, at a cost of six runs out of a total of 28 for seven wickets, m aking also the top score for his club, 22. As I have seen him almost equally destructive w ith the ball on other occasions, he struck m e as giving prom ise of a good all-round cricketer when more seasoned, and I think it is from youths of this stamp that our county reserves should secure recruits. R ecent events in the Transvaal have led to the definite abandonment of the proposed trip to South Africa, which James Lillywhite was negotiating in the interests of George Lohmann for the com­ ing winter. I am given, however, to understand that the project is only de­ ferred. There is every intention to arrange for such a tour at the end of 1891. T h e hundreds of cricketers who have been following the Grand Old Man during the last few months in his recollections of “ Forty Years of Cricket,” will regret to learn that the final chapter of the series, which will be on “ Batting,” is to appear on Saturday next. -The interesting character of these reminiscences may be understood when I state that, in addition to the records, which are of themselves NEXT ISSUE, OCTOBER 80.
