Cricket 1890

CRICtET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. oot . aft, i8§o. T h e Committee of the Surrey Club, I understand, have invited all the cricketers who played for the County last summer to a dinner, in commemoration of the high position Surrey gained in 1890 by their joint efforts. The dinner will take place, I learn, in the new dining-room at the Oval on Thursday, the 20th of next month, at 6.80 p.m., and there is every reason to believe that the President, Viscount Oxenbridge, will take the chair. Members of the County Club desirous of being present can obtain all information on application to the Secretary. SU R R E Y CLUB A N D G ROU N D . Matches played, 39—won 29, lost 5, drawn 5.

The Annual General Meeting of the Premier Club of Australia was held on Sept. 13th, under the Presidency of M r. Frank Grey Smith. The annual report stated that 334 new members had been admitted during the past 12 months, the total number on the roll being now 2541. There are vacancies for 135 full members before the lim it fixed by the rules is reached. The receipts from subscriptions and entrance fees during the year amounted to £5414 16s., as against .£4905 19s. 6 d. for the preceding year. The gross receipts from football amounted to £2875 8 s., from which the general account of the club benefited to the extent of £634 11s., the sum of £1868 3s. 8 d. being distributed among the football clubs playing on the ground. The attendance at the football m atch on 2nd A ugust between the South M elbourne and Carlton clubs was 32,595, of whom 25,549 paid for adm ission. This is believed to be the highest recorded attendance at any match in Australia or Great Britain. The revenue and receipts from all sources for the season amounted to £6,617 6 s. 8 d. T he concerts given by the Victorian Orchestra on the ground were referred to as having resulted in a substantial loss. The M elbourne Football Club had been affiliated with the cricket club during the year, and had taken a forward position. The net total liabilities of the club had been reduced, but ow ing to the exceptional expenditure of £1961 in effecting im prove­ m ents, &c., the general statement was less favourable that it would otherwise have been, The general debit was now £9362 12s. lid ., as against £9944 16s. 4d. last year. The control of the intercolonial m atches with New South W ales had i,een resumed by the V .C .A ., the “ b o y co tt” having been rem oved by that association. The cricket season had been a fairly successful one, 107 matches having been played, of which 52 were won, 23 lost and 32 drawn, the club being third on the list for the premiership. The highest batting average in senior matches was made by Mr. J. M ’ C. Blackham , who in six innings scored 255 runs, but the best average was made by Mr. W . Bruce, who played in 16 innings for 640 runs. F or bowling in senior matches Mr. R. P. D ickson was first, w ith 10 wickets for an average of 9.70 runs per w ick et; Mr. H. Trum ble com ing close up with 54 wickets for an average of 10.35 runs per wioket. The second senior eleven came through the season without a defeat, winning the whole of the eight pennant matches played. T h e third and junior elevens played 56 m atches, of w hich they won 21, lost 18 and drew 17. The baseball team won the pennant for the season 1890, and had one leg in for the “ Spalding trophy. ” The team played 13 matches, w inning 11 and losing 2 , the runners up being the Metropolitan club, who won 10 and lost 3. The lawn tennis intercolonial match in November last was won by V ictoria easily by 39 sets, and the club first four won the pre­ m iership for 1889, while this year the four had won all the nine matches played, and were almost certain to be premiers again. The number of tennis players had largely increased, and the interest of the public in the various matches had correspondingly aug­ mented. The report concluded w ith a record of the high appreciation in which the services of the secretary, Mr. B. J. W ardill, were held. The adoption of the report,on the m otion of the Chairman, seconded by Mr. H . S. Barlow, was carried unanimously. Mr, Frank Grey Smith was re-elected presi­ dent, and the appointm ent of the remaining officers, for the ensuing year, concluded the business :—Vice-presidents, Messrs F. G. Moule and W . H . Handfield (re-elected); hon. treasurer, M r. J. Travis (re-elected) ; com ­ m ittee, Messrs. W . Bruce, C. Forrester, H. C. A . Harrison, W . H . Moule, J.M 'Laugh- lin, C. Pleasance and W . Ryall.
