T H U R S D A Y , J U N E 2 1 s t , 1894 g lu abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— _____________ ______________ Hamltk A d o u b l e hat trick—or perhaps it would be more correct [to say the hat-trick twice in immediate succession—represents a cricket eurio of the most prorounped kind. This double first wss achieved in tbe match betweenlhe Whitgift Grammar School and the Crystal Palace School of Engineering on Saturday last. Ti e out-oricket of the Whit­ gift leys we s quite too much for their opponents, who were all dismissed for a total of seven. Hawkins bowled three of thtm with successive balls from tne end and FraLk Crawfi-rd, sou of Parson Crawford of that ilk, three more with his first three balls of the over from the other end Of cricket mere than anything, it may be said with truth, there is nothing new. Else I might have been emboldened to ask if there are many, if any, records of thi3 kind extant. A. D. A l l i s t o n , who bowled for the London Welsh C.C. last year, is now, it will interest his many friends to know, making a name for himself as a cricketer far across the waters of the great Atlantic, He is at present a mem­ ber of the Royal Canadian Dragoons O.C. at Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The cricket season there has just commenced, and the Dragoons have won their first two matches for the Manitoba Cricket Association Cup. I n a match against the Winnipeg C.C., Alliston went on bowling after five batsmen had fallen, and dismissed the five remaining wickets in five overs for five runs. Even this performance he outdid in the next match of the Dragoons, whioh was against the C.P.R. C.C. On this occasion Alliston, who opened the bowling for the Dragoons, took seven wickets in seven overa for four run®. As can be seen, this give3 him a bowling average of .75 per wioket for his first two matches. DRAWING THE STUMPS. An old countycricketer writes me thusly In the Middlesex v. Yorkshire match at Lord’s, there were some dozsn runs to get, when time should have been called. Lord Hawke, on appeal from Mr. Webbe, said, “ Play it out,*’ and the match was played out, Tn the match between Gloucestershire and Somersetshire, the great Gloucester captain (thert being only eight runs to get) declim d as emphatically as Lord Hawke had assented, Which was right ? Which was cricket ? I think the public will readily approve the commoh-sense method of Mr. Webbe and Lord Hawke. Only bettiDg men would gain from chancing a wet dav for the morro'v, and it is surely desirable to discourage the betting element rather than fo&ter it by any such methods. But ihouM not a row law be fa'-sed, giving the umpires Home discretion in such cases—not a wided soretnn, but a reasonable one und^r the circumstances, as an extra quarter or half-hour if a ma’ch is within 10 or lo, possibly 20 runs of being fin:shea, R ich * edson ' s performance in taking all ten wickets of Essex, at the Oval on Monday, is, it may interest the statisticians to know, the first record of the kind by a Surrey cricketer in a oouLty match. The only other achieve­ ment of precisely the same character, on the Surrey Ground that is, was by Burton, who took all ten wickets of Surrey for Middlesex ia 1888. The late Edward Barratt got all the ten wickets at the Oval in 1878, as many will remember. In this case Barratt was repre­ senting the Players, and the wickets were those of the First Australian team. The ocoaeion comes back to my mind vividly from the fact
