The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— ______________________________ Hamlet, One of the most curious incidents which have perhaps ever been witnessed in an im­ portant fixture occurred in the first innings of Yorkshire in their match against Surrey at the Oval last week. Jackson and Sellars were in, and the latter hit a ball of Lockwood’s to third man. The Cambridge captain, thinking a single possible, made his way towards the other wicket while his partner stood etill. The b ill hadmeanwhile been fielded audWood, who had been standing back, ran up to the wicket for the throw in. Both batsmen were then at the striker’s end, and Wood, getting the ball as it was returned rather wide, made off in hot haste, ball in hand, to the other crease, to put the wicket down, which he did with the result that Jackson was run out. The spectacle of the Surrey wicket­ keeper at full speed for the bowler!s end with no one in pursuit caused great amusement. Some cricketers seem to be at times the victim of circumstances to a marked degree. Mr. W. G. Heasmtin has been a conspicuous instance of this during the last week. In the Somersetshire match at Taunton on Thursday he was caught by the bowler (Mr. Woods). The latter did not throw the ball up, and the striker, feelingthat the umpire at the bowler’s end could not see, appealed to his fellow, who was of course standing at short leg. The decision was “ not out,” but on enquiry of the other umpire, who was of course the right one to decide, the batsman had to retire. C uriously enough, in the very next match, against Surrey at tho Oval, Mr. Heasman was again out in what secured to him to be a dubious way. In the first innings of Sussex, a ball of Richardson pitched so direct on to his foot, and hitting the bat was caught by Mr. Read at point. The batsman was of opinion that he had not even hit the ball, but on appeal to the umpire at the bowler’s end, with whom the decision was, he was given out. A casual enquiry of the same official subsequently elicited the fact that he would also have given tho batsman out, lbw, in the event of an appeal. T h e committee of the Marylebone Club, in their wisdom, have ruled that the matches between Surrey and Scotland are not to be reckoned as first-class. And now the counties and leading amateurs at whose instance the ruling was given are no doubt supremely happy. S t i l l , the thought which will occur to an ordinary mind is which deserves best of the State, the executive of the M.C.C. in adjudi­ cating on a trum pery question which did not in the smallest degree affect an issue of any moment in cricket, the counties and leading amateurs who showed such a laud­ able desire to protect the best interests of the
