Cricket 1893

SEPT. 21, 1898 (0B1CKET§ A WEEKLY BECOED OF THE GAME, 435 MR. W . G. GRACE’S XI v. MR, W. W. READ'S XI. The match played on the Reigate Priory ground at the end of last season, in which G-. Brann gave s ich a remarkable display of fast scoring not only iproluced such| an enjoyable game, but proved such a success that the committee were encouraged to try another fixture this year, and on a more elaborate scale. They were fortunate enough to be able to secure the active assistance of W.G., and his personal influence, added to that of W. W. Read, naturally had the effect of col- 1:cting some of the best cricket talent in the c >untry. C. T. B. Turner, of the Australian team, t ) 0 , had promised to play, but circumstances prevented him, and W . L. Murdoch, G. •rann, A. T. Kemble, and L. A Shuter were also unable t ) fulfil their eng xgements Still, some extremely i iteresting cri-ket was witnessed, and as quite three thousand persons were present on Friday, a3 well as on Saturday, there was ample encourage­ ment to justify the manag iinent of the i.eigate Priory C.ub iu m; king the matc i an annual function. The local puolic had particu’arly good reason, too, to be pleased, as in addition to W .G ’s file innings on the first day, W. W . who was born >nd has lived, with the exception of a very short break, all his life in Reigate, gava the spectato s an equal treat in the shape of vigorous at- ting on the second day The feature of Friday’s cricket was the b illiant exposition of The Champion. He ou ht to have been caught at mid-off when he had made 18, but this was the only flaw in a generally masterly display. How f ist he scored will be gathered from the fact that he was in only a little over an hour and a half. He made 135. too, out of 189 while he was at the wickets, and among his figures were three hits out of the ground f r 6. After W.G., Abel’s was the best innings on the side. He helped to add 153 for t^ie fifth wicket, and his 49 was up to his best f irm. After getting W .G .’s eleven out for 282, W .W 's team, in the s-venty minutes left on Friday night, scored 113 fo •the loss of three bats­ men. Of these 53 came from the bat of the York­ shire amateur, whose score inc uded two 6's On Saturday morning W .W . was seen to the best advantage Though he had injured his finger rather badly on the first day, he hit all-round with gr at confidence and judgment He was an hour and tweoty-five minutes making his 112, in which was one ti, and the only blemish to a fine perform­ ance was a chance in the long-field when he had got 81. Peel’s play was <f a differen c aracter, but of almost equal merit. He helped to put on 140 for the seventh wicket, and his 46 was an in­ valuable innings. Thanks t > the captain and Peel, W .G.’s eleven were 82 behind after a 1on the first innings, and after they had cleared off 56 of the number at the cost of Ferris’s wicket, rain came o.i so heavi y that the game had to be given up.
