THE LONDON CLUBS. T he Erratics tried the experiment of closing their innings against Epsom, at Epsom, on Thursday last, and with success, as the result proved. The captain declared when the total was 258 for eight wickets. L. de Montezuma, who is playing just now for Surrey’s second eleven, was the chief contributor with 92, and A. H. Joyce a good second with 61. The small total of Epsom was chiefly due to the good bowling of 'V. Gardner, who took seven wickets for 24 runs. His analysis was 13o. 12m. 24r. 7w. The luck of the game and the weather went against the home side, who also contributed to the success of the visitors by missing several easy catches. I n their match against Streatham at Epsom, on Saturday, the result of the above match was nearly reversed. After closing their innings with 212 up for seven wickets, Epsom got eight of Streatham out for 93. Pagden, who went in with the score at 98 for five wickets, scored 92 of the 111 added for Epsom while he was in. T hk match between London Ramblers and Tenterden last Thursday, at Tenterden, pro­ duced some scoring of quite ail exceptional kind. Tenterden, who had first knock, went in at 12.15 and made 170, of which G. Hilder contributed 48, and T. Avery 52. In their turn the London Ramblers put on 345 for seven wickets before time. Of this total, G. Gower, of Tonbridge, a youngster who made his first appearance for Kent this week, made 160 not out, a very fine innings with only one chance, and that a difficult one to the “ stumper.” Edward Mills, who played for Surrey a few years ago, also made 89 by good cricket. The wicket was all a batsman could desire, as may be judged from the fact that between 12.15 and 6 o’clock, including an hour for lunch, 511 runs were scored. R egent v.

Poat free 4 stamps of Wright and Co., 41 Et, Andrew’s Hill, JJo tors Commons, E.C T he proverbial uncertainty of cricket was in evidence at Cane Hill Asvlum, on Satur­ day, in the match between Kensington and Cane Hill Asylum. The heroes of Cane Hill’s remarkable performance (401 for two wickets) this time did n:>t come off, and Parson Craw­ ford went home a sadder, if not a wiser, man. Still he did not fail to show Kensington tho hospitality with which he always entertains his visitors. Kensington scored 271 to 79 and 62 of Cane Hill. The former’s victory was mainly due to the batting of J. Briggs (97) and W. E. Bloomer (42), who put on 125 for the fifth wicket, and the bowling of E. V. Gardner and W. A. Watson. In the match Watson got eleven wickets for 71, and Gardner eight for 65. S ome good scoring marked the match between Willesden and West Herts C. & G. at Watford on Saturday. Willesden made 242, of which F. J. Reynolds contributed 63. The Club and Ground in turn, got 216 for seven wickets,thus leaving the game drawn. Hearne bowled well for the latter, taking five wickets. E. [B. Ilayman secured four out of the seven wickets for Willesden. S aturday last gave a check to the un­ broken successes of two well-known Clubs. Guy’s Hospital, who have a good all-round side this year, administered the first defeat Brentwood has received this year, beating them at Brentwood by 25 runs, 185 to 160. At the same time it is right to say that the local Club was without A. P. Lucas, who was playing for Esher, as well as C. J Kortright, who was helping Essex against M.C.C. and G. S tkeatham , who had an unbeaten record too, this season, went imder to Beckenham, though they were playing on their own ground. Beckenham’s score of 218 gave them an advantage of 108. For this they were mostly indebted to a fine innings of 93 by the old Harrovian, W. M. Torrens, and to P. Northcote, who took seven of their ickets for only 50 runs. George Brann, who generally keeps the ball going for Streatham, only made four. ■ T here was no lack of instances of high scoring last Saturday. A few of them will suffice. Blackheath performed to some tune on the Shop at Woolwich, closing their inn­ ings at 282 for four wickets, and then dis­ missing the Cadets, for 116. S. Castle, who is scoring well this year, made 115, and Oapt. G. F. D. Hamilton 90. The Military College de­ clared against the Hampshire Hogs with their total 358 for five wickets, and against the Horse Guards High Wycombe took the same course when they had made 271 for two bats­ men out. R ic h m o n d , who have been, as was stated last week, doing well this season, found the eleven sent down by the Marylebone Club too much for them. The bowling of Pougher and C. H. Allcock was rather a severe test, and they were all out for 73, of which E. Ever- shed’s 17 was the largest item. M.C.C. had made 152 for four wickets when time was up. The match was for the benefit of F. Tafce, the groundman of the Richmond Club. Long and honourable service is Tate’s record, and it is gratifying to learn that his sutscription list shows a proper appreciation of good work. I t is rare, indeed, that run-getting at the Crystal Palace reaches a high pitch without Clement Mitchell is in evidence. On Thurs­ day last the Ne’er-do-Weels had a day’ s leather hunting, fielding out while the Palace made 381. Mitchell was not out 153 when the innings closed- There was a second hundred, too, in J. Aste’ s 108. M ention has been made in “ Gossip ” of the exceptional pace of the run-getting of two Incogs, at Hounslow, on Monday. Here the innings was closed with four wickets down for 374, and then the Incogs’ bowling de­ moralised the Garrison so completely that they were all out for 82. O n June 15, too, the Clergy Orphan School scored at a rare rate against Dover College, at Dover. They made their first 200 runs in eighty-five minutes. To obtain all ten wickets in an innings is a noteworthy feat in any match, and in any way. F. Merricks, playing for the Ore and Clive Yale Club, at Hastings, on Thursday last clean bowled the ten wickets of Hastings Grammar School. In a match between Horsmonden School arid Brunswick House School, at Horsmorden, on Saturday, J. K. Hughes took twelve wickets (seven of them clean bowled) for only four runs. A curious coincidence marked the two matches between Waterlow and Sons and Causton’ s last Saturday. In that between the first elevens at Dulwich, Waterlows closed their innings with the total 101 for nine wickets. The top scorer in this case was C. Osman with 52. In the matoh at Wanstead between Waterlow’s second eleven and Causton’s Juniors, the former also scored 101 for nine wickets, and again the chief score was 52, by W. Mackenzie. UPPER CLAPTON v.
