The abstraot and brief chronicle of the time.— ________________________________ Hamlet. T he match between Surrey and Cam­ bridge University to be commenced at the Oval to-day will be particularly interesting to those who are concerned about Surrey cricket, if only for the fact that, if the Cambridge eleven play as announced, there will be no less than sixteen Surrey men taking part in the match. Messrs. Douglas, Streatfeild, and Wells have already represented Surrey, and Messrs. Jephson and N. C. Cooper are also both able to play. "With the one exception, perhaps, of Middlesex, I should be in­ clined to doubt if there has been, of late, at least, any instance of a University Eleven with five of its members qualified for one County. A p a ra gb a p h in the Standard of Mon­ day last, commenting on the career of Mr. Frederick Calvert, Q.C., who died on the previous Saturday, will recall to Harrovians at least the name of a cricketer who did good service for the School a long tim# ago. Mr. Calvert, who was a younger son of the late General Sir Harry Calvert, and a brother of Sir Henry Verney, was educated at Harrow, and Christ Church, Oxford. He played for the School at Lord’s in the years 1822 and 1823, in the latter of which he was Captain. Called to the Bar, he made a name for himself in Parliamentary Com­ mittees. For a short time he sat in the House of Commons as Member for Ayles­ bury, and also did excellent public service as a Member of the Board of Queen Anne’s Bounty. He had reached the good old age of eighty-five years. Mb. A.
