The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— ____________________________________ Hamlsi, T h e latest illustration of the cosmopolitan tendency of cricket has been furnished by the visit of a team of Dutch amateur cricketers to England- For several years one or more English clubs have tested the quality of Dutch cricket on its native soil. This is the first time, however, that a Dutch combination has set foot in England, and though the trip has, perhaps, been arranged more with a social object than with the severer view of mere sport, still it has an educational interest which cannot fail to commend the Dutchmen to the good offices of Englishmen of any athletic sympathies. TnE Dutch Eleven, who are accompanied by a few friends, left Rotterdam on Saturday night for Hull, and thence to Scarborough, which is to be the headquarters of the party during the present week. The programme which has been arranged by Mr. J. B. Hatt on behalf of the Dutch Cricket Union consists of matohes against the Scarborough Club, the Scarborough Visitors, the Yorkshire Gentle­ men, East Riding of Yorkshire, Whitby, Bridlington, Gentlemen of Hull, and probably one or two other matches. The first match was against Whitby on Tuesday. M b . C. F e it h , one of the best batsmen the Dutch have, unfortunately could not accom ­ pany the team. Still the eleven, whose names are given below, are thoroughly repre­ sentative of Dutch cricket:—C. Nolet (capt.), E. Harrison, andH . M. van Oosterzee, mem­ bers of theHague C .C .; F . van den Bosch and C. de Qroot, members of the Hague Olympia; Y. C. Schroder, Kupfer, and Dr.H. Gorter, members of the Amstels C.C., Amster­ dam ; C. Posthuma and P. Tromp de Haas, members of the Haarlem C.C., Rood en W it ; and A Eyken, member of the Utrecht C,C., Hercules. A good friend at the Hague, an en­ thusiastic lover of the game, tells me that the most reliable batsmen are Schroder, Eyken,Posthuma, de Haas, and C. Nolet. The most likely bowlers he considers Posthuma, Schroder, and de Haas. Van den Bosch and C. de Groot are free-hitters. A. B. Bentley, of Torquay, who is again coach­ ing the members of the Dutch Cricket Union, is very popular in Holland, and has done much to improve the cricket there. My reference to the Islington Albion last week as one of the oldest, if not quite the oldest of existing cricket organisations in London, has elicited a very interesting sou­ venir of the club. Mr. F. G. Harding, of 5, Carlisle Villas, Hastings, an old member of the Albion, has sent me a copy of a bill an­ nouncing one of the Albion matches more than half a century ago. T h e bill itself has such an historic interest that it will be of interest to reproduce it in fac simile — CRICKET. COPENHAGEN FIELDS.

Foster , Printer, Cross Street, Islington, near the Church. Mr. Harding, an enthusiast in the game, took an active interest in Middlesex cricket for many years. Latterly he has resided at Hastings, and has been one of the leading spirits in connection with the Hastings and St. Leonards cricket week. The Islington Albion, he states, was established in 1805. In describing the incident which led to Holland’s dismissal in Leicestershire’s second innings against Essex last week, I omitted to say that he had struck the ball twice , which was the crux of his offence. 1 should have regretted the omission the more
