Under the foster­ ing care of Mr. W. N. Cobbold, of International football fame, and him­ self no mean cricketer, they have, indeed, been doing something very sensa­ tional in the way of run-getting at West Wratting Park, in Cambridgeshire. Only last Thursday, a day on which, as many cricketers will remember to their sorrow, the most miserable conditions of weather prevailed generally, Cobbold assisted in a very remarkable performance. Going in first for West Wratting against Fitz- william Hostel with Mr. W. E. Gray, the pair remained partners all the afternoon, and to such purpose that when play ceased the score was 440 for the loss of only one batsman. Of these Cobbold, who was the victim, had made 163, while extras had contributed 59, and the balance of 218 was to the credit of Gray, who was still in. T his , though, is only one of several in­ stances of high scoring in which the two cricketers named have been the chief actors. Gray’s run-getting so far this season has been quite exceptional, and in illustration of the consistent character of his batting it will be sufficient to enu­ merate the results of the various innings he has had in succession. His scores in their order have been—24, 76, 208 (not out), 8, 66, 24, 54, 75,218 (not out), the last on the occasion already referred to when 440 were got for the first wicket. A simple addition sum will give an aggre­ gate of 748 for seven completed innings as F E L T H A M ’ S LEG GUARDS, GAUNTLETS, CBICKET NETS, BATTING GLOVES, STUMPS.
