Cricket 1892

826 CRICKET; A WEEKLY EECOED OF THE GAME. JULY 28, 1892 cricket has ever produced, is to make his first appearance as a stumper for Surrey against Essex at Leyton to-day. In the latter part of last season he played more than once for Surrey’s second team, and with marked suc­ cess. Against the second eleven of Notts at Nottingham on the August Bank Holiday, in particular, he acquitted himself with distinct credit. I t would seem as if the stars in their courses had been combining to work up the interest in the return matoh between Surrey and Notts, which is to begin at the Oval on Monday next. At all events, the recent suc­ cesses of Surrey have tended to add to the public excitement, if suoh a thing were pos­ sible. At present, though Notts has an ad­ vantage in having played one match less than theirgreat rivals, both counties have the same number of points to their credit. In any case both sides will be thoroughly on their mettle, that gives without saying. Moreover, every One will hope that what luck there is may be fairly dis­ tributed, so that the match may be played out under something like even conditions. C. W . W r i g h t ’ s retirement, after he had been selected by the Notts Committee to oppose Surrey, in favour of H. B. Daft was only what might have been expected of such a genuine sportsman. The Notts Eleven will, barring accidents, consist of Messrs. J. A. Dixon, J. S. Robinson, and A. O. Jones, with Shrewsbury, Gunn, Attewell, Barnes, Sher­ win, Flowers, Shacklock, and Daft. Surrey’s team will not be finally settled until the las^ moment, though of course only the last two or three places oan be in doubt. M e n may come, and men may go, but the Canterbury week goes on for ever. So far, too, as one can judge, the gathering of 1892 is not likely to compare unfavourably with the best of its predecessors. This year, Gloucestershire and Notts will present the outside oricket attractions. Nor will the “ Old Stagers” be lacking, with the “ Duchess of Bayswater,” Mr. Bronson Howard’s play “ Young Mrs. Winthrop,” the comedietta of “ A Show of Hands,” and Mr. Pinero’s laughable farce of “ The Magistrate,” all for production. What with the usual dances, a lantern parade of cyclists, and other en­ tertainments, there should be revelry by night sufficient to wake the echoes in the old city. T h e amateur team which Lord Hawke is to personally conduct to India in the winter was completed on Thursday last. The Yorkshire captain will have as his companions F. S. Jackson, C. W- Wright, A. J. L. Hill, J. S. Robinson, J. A. Gibbs, G. A. Foljambe, J. H. Hornsby, C. Heseltine, H. F. Wright, and M. F. Maclean. T h e majority of the above are fairly wel1 known, as, including Lord Hawke, all the first seven have taken their part in county cricket. H. F. Wright has represented Derbyshire, J. A. Gibbs, an old Oxonian, Somerset­ shire. Heseltine and Maclean, unless I am in error, play for the Eton Ramblers. The team will leave London in the Kaiser-i-hind on October 14th. Though the ostensible and ma n idea is cricket, it goes witiiout saying that Lord Hawke and his comrades are not making the tour with the cricket field as their sole object.

The Gentlemen of Surrey had an easy victory in this match, the first of the Tunbridge Wells Week, winning on Tuesday by 59 runs. Jephson, of the Cambridge Eleven, made nearly one half of Surrey’s total, and Cooper took seven of the ten wickets in Kent’s first innings. G e n t l e m e n o p S u r r e y . N. C.

MARLBOROUGH. Some remarkable batting was shown by the Marlborough Eleven yesterday at Lord’s, in opening their annual match with Rugby. Morti­ mer and Creed in three hours put on 263 runs for the second wicket, and the latter was not out till he had made 211, the highest score so far recorded in the match. The innings lasted five hours and five minutes. Creed was batting for four hours and a quarter, and except for two chances, one of stumping at 80, the second in the long-field when he had made 182, there was no fault. His forward play particularly showed considerably power, and his driving was very clean and hard. After their long outing, Rugby fared very badly with the bat, so much so that by the end of the day they had lost half their wickets for only 65 runs. First Innings. F.H.Kelsey,b Montezuma 3 G.
