The abstract and brief chronloleof the time.— _____________ Hamlet, A c c o r d in g to the writer of the Sporting Notes in the Globe, Mr. Eustace Crawley, who played such fine cricket at Lord’s for Harrow, and subsequently for Cam­ bridge University in 1887, is rapidly becoming as famous an amateur horseman as he was a cricketer. In the Regimental Cup Race, at the 12th Lancers Steeple­ chases on Saturday, at Hawthorn Hill, he rode the favourite, Sir Rowland, who fell at the penultimate fence. Mr. Crawley quickly remounted, but unable to regain stirrups or reins, he rade his horse on with his hands, kept his seat over the last fence, and amid tremendous excitement overtook the leaders, Dispute and Golden Pippin, and won. He also won on Don CiBsar, like Sir Rowland, the property of Mr. Loder, the Consolation Race. In the Hunters Plate, won by Mystery, the old Harrovian had another fall on Scotch Reel, who came a cropper and broke his neck. F o l l o w i n g the example of no less than three of his contemporaries and members of the Oxford University eleven of 1887, to wit Messrs. J. H. Brain, K. J. Key, and E. H. Buckland, Mr. Croome has made another match, this time a matri­ monial one. The Daily News of Monday last, at least, contains details of the marriage ceremony on Saturday at the Savoy Chapel, which united Mr. Arthur Molyneux Croome, of Radley College, to Miss Hardman, daughter of Sir William and Lady Hardman. The Rev. Henry White, Chaplain to the Queen and to the House of Commons, officiated. A large congregation in­ cluded Lady Westbury, Lady Puleston, Sir Whittaker and Lady Ellis, Sir Albert and Lady Woods, General Terry, Colonel Gordon Watson, the Warden of Radley, and Mr. Linley Sambourne. L o r d H a r r is , who had seized the op­ portunity of a cricket match and made a fairly good score for the World against the Army of Occupation at Cairo on his way out, arrived safely at Bombay on Friday last, to undertake the Governor­ ship of that Presidency in succession to Lord Reay. On landing he was received with the usual honours, and an address was presented to him by the Bombay Corporation. In reply, the new Governor promised to devote his attention to the housing of the working classes, and the completion of the Harbour Defences. By-the-way, I see that the Queen has just been pleased to confer the decoration of the Imperial Order of the Crown of India on Lady Harris. M r . W illia m Y a r d le y , the brilliant batsman who did such splendid service for Cambridge University early in the seventies, it may interest cricketers to know, is to receive a formal welcome home. The welcoming, which will be given at the theatre of the Lyric Club on Tuesday evening next, will commence at ten o’clock. The Duke of Beaufort is chairman and the Earl of Londesborough vice-chairman. As these two noble sportsmen have received assurance of influential support from Mr. Yardley’s
