T h e H ornsey C lu b’s net result is 26 matches—won 9, lost 5, drawn 12, which may be considered very satisfactory in view of the strong list of fixtures arranged. The club has three times exceeded a total of 300 runs in an innings. The biggest score was 378 v. Hastings and St. Leonards, but this would doubtless have been put in the shade in the match v. Dulwioh when the Hornsey innings was closed with the total at 371 for four wickets. For the third year in succes­ sion, G. H. Swinstead heads the batting list with an average of 29.20 for 28 innings, a position which is largely due to two fine scores of 194 and 120 not out, L. H. Bac­ meister comes second with 28.7 for 13 inn­ ings, and it has been a source of much gratification to all supporters of the club that his health, although not completely restored, has so far improved as to permit him to play occasionally with such satisfac­ tory results. B. A. Clarke, who is third with an average of 27.20 for 28 innings, has been perhaps the most consistent batsman of the year, having made one century as well as four other scores of over 50, and having very rarely failed completely. Jamei Clarke, whose average is 25.7 for 19 innings, has also displayed fine form throughout the season. Perhaps the principal strength of the club was in its bowling, which will compare favourably with that of any other metro­ politan club. Both the brothers Swinsteid have taken over 100 wickets during the season, G.H. being responsible for 108 at an average of 9.101, and F.H. for 101, at the rate of 11.96 each. L. H. Bacmeister has taken 5L wickets for 6.40 each, and B. A. Clarke 64 for 1113. The value of L. H. Bacmeister’ s bowling to the club can be in some degree estimated from the fact that in four seasons (omitting 1891, when he did not play owing to illness) he has taken 273 wickets for 1,743 runs, or an average of only 6.105 per wicket. With several likely young players training on well there is every hope that the Hornsey Club will continue to uphold its reputation. The result of the very successful South Coast tour was that the team returned undefeated, after beating Littlehampton, Willingdon, Lewes Priory, Hastings, and South Saxons, and drawing with United Services. The best piece of bowling of the year was performed at Willingdon by B. A Clarke, who on a perfect wicket dismissed six good batsmen for eight runs. The same bowler also did the hat trick against Clapton on May 21st. Forty wins, eight losses, and four drawn games, is H a m p ste a d ’ s record for the past season. Defeats have been sustained at the hands of Hornsey (twice), Willesden, Crystal Palace, Chalton Park, Chiswick Park, Gran­ ville, and MaldeD. A. E. Stoddart has helped the club on eighteen occasions, and has the fine average of 65.81. Altogether he seored 1,053 runs, besides taking eighty wickets at a cost of a little over nino runs apiece. F. R. Spofforth has played sixteen times, and has a bowling analysis of 77 wickets at a cost of 8.40 runs, with a batting average of 22.40. W. Danby has an average of 28 66 for 18 innings, G. H. Woodall one of 2-5.18 for 23 innings. W. S. Hale averages 23.33^ for 33 innings, J. G. Q. Besch 23 for 36 innings, C. H. Gray 2129 for 19 innings. H. B. Hayman 21.31 for 16 innings. W. S. Hale has taken 108 wickets at a cost of 10.62 with 2,469 balls, and bowled most consistently throughout the season. G. Riley has taken 25 wickets for 9.56 eaoh, S. S. Pawling 50 wickets for 11.86 each, A. B. Osmond 33 wickets at a cost of 8.30 eaoh, Dr. G. Thornton 53 wickets at a cost of 10.92 each. A. C. Rob­ ertson, who was only able to play in five matches, scored 268 runs with an average of 53.60. A. E. Stoddait has topped the century on five occasions. No other member has accomplished the feat, but H. R. Lips­ combe 96 not out, C. H. Gray 94, and H. Smith-Turberville 93, only just failed to do so. The season just terminated has been a fairly successful one for C h a rlto n Park. The card contained 54 engagements, of whioh 18 were won, 16 lost, 11 drawn, and n»ne scratched. G. Turner, whose highest score was 58, wins the average bat with 22.56. He is closely followed by H. Turrell with 21.12, and highest score of 72 not out. The bowl­ ing average was gained by W. Martin with 67 wickets for 8.85, followed by Dr. W. J. C. Keats with 34 wickets for 9 08. A. J. New­ some made 142 against the South Saxons on the tour, and S. Castle 131 and A. W. Stewart 99 respectively against the Royal Artillery at Woolwich. With the match Tourists v. Non-Tourists, the G r a n v ille (Lee) C lu b finished its twenty-fifth season on Saturday last. It has won 29 matches, lost 10. drawn 18, and abandoned 8, a card of no less than 65 con­ tests having been arranged. The club has made the record number of 9,234 runs, and its opponents 7,711, the average for the club being 17.25 per wicket, and against it 12.89. Nine centuries have been made for the club and three against it. The ground has been kept in perfect order by J. Perch, the respected professional, who has also often been of great service in matches. The batting averages are headed by A. S. John­ ston, the Essex amateur, who has the fine aggregate of 750 runs for 17 innings, and an average of 44.11. He has been well supported by C. J. M. Godfrey, G, F. Gerds, W. Edwards the popular captain, who to the universal regret has been prevented by business from taking part in the whole-day matches, P. P. Lincoln, S. Starky, F. Lander, and J. Wilson jun. The bowling has been good, F. G. Bull taking 110 wickets at 8 05 per wicket, C. J. M. Godfrey, G. C. Sims, aud H. V. West being his chief supporters. This year the club has had a Home Week with the most satisfactory results—all the matches indeed were won. Besides there has been the annual tour in Sussex, which consisted of matches at Eastbourne (2), Horsham, Willingdon, and St. Leonards. Of these two were won, one lost, and the others drawn. The London and W estm in ster Bank have just completed a most successful season. Of 23 matches played only two were lost, while fifteen were wron (including the match with Surrey Club and Ground). This is the more remarkable, as the toss was only won on six occasions. Douglas heads the batting with the fine average of nearly 39 for 21 innings. His aggregate included two centuries, as well as a very fine 66 against the Surrey C. and G. Mackintosh has an average of over 30, but for six completed innings only. He also played a good innings of 47 at the Oval. Raby and Goodchild have both played well for their runs, neither having got beyond 60 in one innings. Their respective averages, 23.75 for sixteen innings and 21.42 for fifteen, are excellent. Podmore has done most of the bowling. He was much indebted to Pitt Brook, the wicket-keeper, for some of his 107 wickets. His average of under seven per wicket, however, reads well. Mackintosh and Herschell have both bowled well at times, and it is much to be regretted that Lawless has been prevented from playing more often. Pitt Brook received a well-deserved compli­ ment in being asked for Eighteen of Mid Surrey v. the Eleven, at Richmond. The fielding has been excellent, and has helped to win many matches, notably that at the Oval, where two fine catches by Squire and Man­ field were made at a critical point of the game. The second eleven, organized for the first time this year, seems likely to prove of great value to the strength of the Club. A.J. Richardson, F. F. Musson, A. W . Brown and T. H. Pritchard have all batted well, while J. M. Allcock (35 wickets at an average of eight), G. B. Stopford, and Richardson have borne the brunt of the bowling. H. O. Man­ field will probably develop into a really good wicket-keeper. The Surrey Club was good enough to give the Banka fixture at the Oval, and it is to be hoped the offer may be repeated in 1893, as doubtless the Directors will see their way to granting the necessary per­ mission to the fcleven.
