Iha abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Mamltt. A correspondent in Berlin has been good enough to send me an account of the first cricket match of the season played in that City on the 7th inst. The Berliner Cricket Club, well known locally by its matches against Kjobenhaoen Bold Club (Copenhagen) and Niederschonwside O.C., had been challenged by a scratch team got up by Messrs. East and Smith, the trainers of the two chief Rowing Clubs in Berlin, and as the challenge was accepted, the match was duly decided on the Tempelhofer Feld on the day named.

Tate, of St.Edmund’s College Old Hall, Ware, who some three or four years ago took an active part in Victorian crioket, “ that in addition to Mr. L. Winslow, quoted by a corres­ pondent last week as having made 124 for Sussex v. Gloucestershire in 1875, Mr. H. B. Steel on August 18th, 1884, scored 100 for Lancashire v. Surrey at the Oval. ‘ Wisden’s Almanack ’ for 1885 says >— ‘ Then Mr. H. B. Steel Signalised his first appearance for his County by playing a notable innings of 100.’ Perhaps the
