Cricket 1891

A fR tti 80, 1891 C R ICKE T r A W E E K L Y RECORD OP T H E GAME i 89 a great batsman before everything, it spoke well for his all-round ability that he should have encountered the celebrated Marsden of Sheffield at single wicket, and beaten him by an innings and 70 runs. “ Mr. Pickwick, with his hands in his pockets and his hat cocked completely over his left eye, was leaning against the dresser shaking his head from side to side. . . . Old Mr. Wardle with a highly inflamed countenance. . . Mr. Winkle, supporting kimself by the eight- day clock, was feebly invoking destruc­ tion upon the head of any member of the family who should suggest the propriety of his retiring for the night. ‘ I won’t go to bed,’ said Mr. Winkle firmly. ‘ No living boy shall carry me 1’ said Mr. Pickwick stoutly. ‘ Hurrah! ’ gasped Mr. Winkle.” Such was the condition in which our dear old friend Mr. Pickwick and his recalcitrant followers returned from the cricket dinner, in the small hours of the morning succeeding the great match between All Muggleton and Dingley Dell. Doubtless the fun was fast and furious ; songs were sung and stories told, with (necessarily) 11A little bit invented And a little bit inferred,” —and we would here remark, that the subjects of King Willow may gather courage from the fact, that at no other period throughout his career did the Pickwickian leader become so “ excited ” as on the occasion of this dinner. It only proves the popularity of the game. We daresay the heroes of Montpelier and Hambledon enjoyedi hemselves much after the same fashion, and certainly we hope they did. We had almost forgotten to mention again that truly great man, Alfred Jingle —he who surely might have been the Mark Twain of cricket had he cared for the distinction. On this particular occasion, Mr. Jingle retained presence of mind enough to reassure the ladies that it was merely “ cricket dinner—glorioui party—capital songs—old port, c la r e t- good, very good.” And, cleverest of all, he succeeded in bamboozling the All Muggletonians, by a process peculiar to himself, into the belief that he was “ a most excellent and undeniable judge of the whole art and mystery of the noble game of cricket.” O n the 2Snd inst., at Campaea-Ash Church, Suffolk, the marriage took plaoe of the Hon. Adeline Thelluason, eldest daughter of Lord Kendlesham, of Rendlesham, Woodbridge, Suffolk, and Mr. L. Kerrison Jarvis, second >on of the late Sir Lewis Jarvis, of Middleton •Towera, King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and brother of the Conservative member for Lynn Regia.
