ANDRtWS HILL, LONDON, E.C. THURSDAY, JUNE 23 bd , 18S2. JjaMIimt d0sst|3. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet, T h e Australian Cricket Council is now something more than a name. The Cricket Associations of New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia last month all form­ ally approved the Rules passed at the meetings of delegates held at the end of March in Adelaide. The Council is therefore, at last, a living thing endowed with the responsibility of regulating all the various matters requiring settlement in Australian cricket. I t will not be useless repetition, perhaps, if I add that its constitution provides first of all for “ the regulation of visits of English or other teams to Australia, as well as for the regula­ tion of visits of Australian teams to England or elsewhere, in conj unction with the govern­ ing cricket bodies of the places visited.” I t wai quite refreshing to see two of the most honoured names in cricket so honour­ ably reproduced in the match between Clifton and Cbeltenham at the end of last week. The decisive victory of Clifton was mainly due to the fine bowling of W . G. Grace, the younger, and C. L. Townsend, a son of the gentle tapper, who rendered such excellent service for Gloucestershire for many years. Y o u n g W . G.' s analysis was especially note­ worthy. In the two innings of Cheltenham he took thirteen wickets at a cost of less than six runs a piece. Standing over six feet he makes the most of his height, and with a high delivery his slow round-arm bowling, on certain wickets is very effective. Like Mr. Bromley-Davenport he is compelled to wear spectacles. List of Prices on application, post free. W in n in g the toss has in such a large num­ ber of cases so important an effect on the result that it is interesting, if only by way of emphasising the rule, to prove the exception. A correspondent points out the somewhat ourious fact that in every one of the six principal matches at the end of last week success attended the side which lost the toss. Derbyshire, Lancashire, Middlesex, Sussex, Oxfordshire,and M.C.C. andGround(atLeyton) though all were lucky in the spin of the coin were unfortunate in the result. “ A strange coincidence,” to use a phrase By which such things are settled now-a-days. C r i c k e t records, at least in tho way of scoring, are of rare occurrence in the early part of the season, for the simple reason that they can hardly be expected until batsmen have got thoroughly in practice. Yet this summer has already produced an unmistake- able best, that is, in Transatlantic cricket. T h e occasion was a match between the Belmont and Baltimore Clubs on June 3, on the former’s ground at Philadelphia. After getting rid of Baltimore for 111, Belmont occupied the wickets for the rest of the after -
