M ANUFACTOBY -71, W A T E R L O O R O A D . A lto g e th e r the match was a complete triumph for the batsmen. In the two daj s 1,082 runs were made with only twenty wickets down, which means an average throughout of fifty runs for each wicket. In many respects, indeed, the game was so pro­ ductive of interesting features that the soore is worthy of reproduction in full. The match, I may add, was played on the Devon­ shire Ground Park on Friday and Saturday last. E a s t b o u r n e . L. G. Thomas, b H.S. Bush,c Behrend, b Coleman ..........113 F. W.

T h e instances of a batsman making a hundred twice in any kind of match are so few in number that the performance of H. S. Bush for Eastbourne against the Crystal Palace at the end of last week deserves the distinction of a special record. His scores of 113 and 122 not out represent, as far as I can speak from memory, the only instance of two hundreds by a batsman in the same match this season. H. S. is a younger brother of F, W . Bush, who played on some few occasions for Surrey ten or fifteen years ago, and was prominently and actively identified with the Richmond Club till he migrated to East­ bourne. H. S., who was educated at Dover College, if I remember rightly, has himself played for the Gentlemen of Surrey more than once. Unfortunately, English cricket will shortly know him no more, at least for a time, as he goes to India in October with his regi­ ment. As a Rugby footballer he has also made his mark. Last year he did good work behind the scrummage for the Harlequins, and has also acquitted himself with credit for Surrey. One of the most notable features of H. S. Bush's performance in this particular match was the finishing touch. In conjunction with another young Surrey cricketer, H. J. Daven­ port, of the Repton Eleven, a son of Horace, for many years amateur champion 3wimmer, he put on 205 runs in an hour and seventeen minutes without the loss of a wicket. As an instance of fast scoring this was of itself unique, for a simple calculation will show that runs must have been got at the rate of nearly a hundred and sixty an hour during this last partnership.

Aocording to all accounts great credit is due to the Dutch players for the excellent all-round oricket they showed in the two representative matches. The fielding seems to be still the weak point. Of Posthuma and De Haas, J. B. Hatt, who has personally conducted so many teams over Dutch soil, speaks in the highest terms. Feith, as a batsman, too, he considers quite first class. T h e steady development of the game of late years throughout Holland has made the county a happy hunting ground for cricket tourists from this side. Next year the number is likely to show a considerable increase, for already arrangements have been made to welcome teams from Scotland, Derbyshire, Devonshire, and Yorkshire. But in addition to these J. B. Hatt, whose address is 12, Alma Square, icarborough, will be happy to arrange visits from other English combinations in July or September. R e s t r ic t io n to these two months is necessary because a representative Dutch team intends to visit England during the early part of August. The tour as at present arranged will extend over the first and second weeks of that month, and the idea is to play ten matches. The Dutchmen are anxious to play against amateurs only, and though the bulk of the fixtures will be limited to one day, they hope to be able to conclude two-days’ fixtures at Sheffield Park, as well as against the Gentlemen of M.C.C. and Gentlemen of Surrey at Lord’s and the Oval respectively. But as a person not altogether unconnected with this paper has been asked to arrange the programme, C r ic k e t readers will, I suppose, know all about it in due time.
