I J a i n l m r t -£]oa abstract and brfel chronicle of the time.— _ __ HarnWti. I think it should be pointed out [writes a correspondent] in a record of the game as complete as your valuable paper, that by his score of 66 in tbe Oval match on Thursday Dr. W . G. Grace completed his 40,000 runs in strictly first-class matches for less than 1,000 completed innings. His record, covering thirty seasons (1864-1893), stands at present 40,060 runs for 967 innings, or an average of nearly 41£! The marvellous character of the feat may be easily seen when one remembers that an average of 40 for one season is still considered a great performance, and this record extends over thirty years in our vari­ able climate! No other cricketer, I think (unless it be G. Ulyett), has yet totalled 20,000 luns in first-class matches ; and to secure 40,000 with such an average is unapproached and likely to remain unapproachable. I n compliance with a strong representation in favour of a transposition of dates, Mr. Victor Cohen, 1 understand, has agreed to a redistribution of seats in respect of the visits of the Australian team to Birmingham and Liverpool respectively next August. The effect of the negotiations that have taken place will be that the Australians will play against Liverpool and District on August 10, at Liverpool,[and against an Eleven selected from the Second-Class Counties on August 21, at Birmingham, instead of vice versa , as originally arranged. T onbridge S ceool , it would appear, has not only a strong eleven this year, but in par­ ticular one very promising cricketer in B D. Bannon. Playing on the Sohool ground on June 14, against M.C.C., he scored 153 not out, in which were 23 fours. After making 303 for six wickets, the School closed their innings and dismissed their opponents for 136. On the previous Saturday the School against Lancing College made 365, of which Bannon contributed 65, Clark 56, and Hartley 55. Lancing only scored 81. Tonbridge has also defeated Dulwich College this year, and would probably hold its own against any of the larger Public Sohools. A nother union of hearts cricketal! It is only a few weeks ago since I noticed the approaching marriages of two of the best known of old Oxonians, one of which has already been celebrated. And now,evidently impressed by the good example of W . H. Patterson and A . J. Webbe, comes the news that the leading figure in Oxford cricket of to­ day will presently fill one of the principal parts in a similar ceremonial. The high contracting parties referred to in the following paragraph, extracted from a society paper of last week, have been prominently identified with cricket of late years. “ A marriage has been arranged between Mr. L. C. H. Palairet, eldest son of Mr. H. Hamilton Palairet, of Cattistock Lodge, Dor­ chester, Dorset, and Mabel, second daughter of Mr.W. II. Laverton, of Leighton,Westbury, Wilts. H e r e is a bit of family cricket to which it would be difficult to find a parallel. The hat trick by each of two brothers in the same afternoon seems to me to be a cricket curiosity almost, if not quite, unique. A double incident of this kind was recorded on Saturday last. To J. N. and S. B. Noakes, sons of Wickham Noakes, who did such good service for the Crystal Palace C.C. for many years, belongs the credit of the performance. The former, i)laying for Beckenham against Streatham on Saturday, at Streatham, scored
