Grichet: A W E E K L Y RECORD OF THE GAME. +1, ST. ANDREW'S HILL, LONDON, E.C. the wickets, referred to in last month’s C k ic k e t , Mr. A.L. Ford, of the Old Park, Winchmore Hill, writes :— It is by no means unique, and you may like to have a reference to the follow ing: “ Scores and Biographies ” 3.376, tw o Pagdens did it ; C b ic k e t , August 12, 1886, four W atneys did it ; “ Lillywhite’ s R ed A nnual,” 1884, page 239, Martin got all tw enty wickets h im se lf; “ Scores and Biographies ” 12.486, A bsolon bowled eighteen and caught other tw o wickets ; “ Scores and B iographies” 3.352, five Colmans did it ; C b ic k e t , August 13, 1885, five W atneys did it. I could add a large number of cases in which all the wickets were taken by members of a fam ily,but except in those given above some were run out. I notice that Mr. H. H. Castens, the old Oxonian, was the principal scorer on the legal side in a recent match at George Town (Cape Colony), between elevens representing “ The Bar ” and the town. On this occasion the men-o’-law suffered defeat by 26 runs, Mr. Castens contri­ buting as many as 20 not out of a total of30 runs from the bat. The barristers were captained by Mr. T. L. Graham, and there appears to have been no appeal against the decisions of Sir Thomas Upington,who acted as umpire forthe Bar. R ecent advices from India bring some more details respecting the contemplated visit of the third Parsee team to England next summer. It is intended that the party shall sail from Bombay in the middle of April, in one of the P. & 0. Steamers, so as to reach London just after the commencement of the season. The idea is to have a fortnight’s practice, and this will enable them to begin their fixtures in the early part of June. According to present intentions the programme will consist of about thirty- five fixtures of two days each, and as this will occupy about twelve weeks, the tour should end in the first or second week of September. It has already been arranged that the Parsees are to play the M.C.C. & Ground at Lord’s, and among the Counties which have signified so far their readiness to make matches are Sussex, Middlesex, Somersetshire, Essex, War­ wickshire, Hampshire, and Derbyshire. Matches will be played at the Oval, on the ground of the Lyric Club at Barnes, and at most of the other chief cricket centres. M en tion of the Parsee Cricketers reminds me that one of the chief mem­ bers of the first team has been recently gaining the highest honours in quite a different line. Those who played against or followed the doings of the former eleven of Parsees which visited England in 1886, will no doubt well remember M r. S. N. Bhedwar, the fast under-hand bowler of the party. M r. Bhedwar, who was, and is still I believe, a member of the Elphinstone Club of Bombay, had the best average in India for three years and did some notable performances during his stay in England, one in particular T H U R S D A Y , N O V EM BE R 27 th , 1890 a§ R b i l h n Gossip. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— _______________ Ham let C r ic k e t readers will be glad to hear that Frank Hearne has opened the season in South Africa most auspiciously. In his first match for the Western Province Club, at Simon’s Town on October 18, he had scored 98, and was still in when time was called, six wickets having fallen for 206 runs. In the second match he scored 34, for Western Province v. Eighteen Colts, and both innings are described as fine exhibitions of hitting. Hearne also bowled very successfully in these two matches, especially in the second, when his sixteen wickets were obtained at a cost of only 40 runs. “ The ground was in capital condition, a circumstance which,” the Cape Argus states, “ is due to the watchful care of Frank Hearne.” I n referen ce to the score in w h ic h th e F o rd s h a d a h a n d in the dism issal o f all NEXT ISSUE, DECEMBER 27.-
