THURSDAY, JUNE 28 th , 1894 m x y . abstract aaS brief chronicle of the time,— . ____ HamU& T he rungetting with the advent of cricket weather, and as a consequence batsmen's wickets, has been so high all along the line that it would be quite impossible to find spacc for any performance unless quite out of the common. A record by Messrs. H. Moorhousc andJ. Wasp for Brixton, against Battersea on the lattei’s ground on Saturday last, comes distinctly within this category. The facts are thuswise. Battersea, who were the iirst to go to the wickets, were dismissed for 182, of which H. Carver, who wept right through t^e in­ nings, scored 105, not out. Brixton were left with 183 to win in an hour and a half, and these as well as thirteen more were got within the ninety minutes. Moreover, both batsmen were still in at the finish. Moorhouse was not out 135, Wasp not out 53. A n o t h e r feat in the way of rapid scoring saw the light of print in the sporting dailies of yesterday. The occasion was the finish of the match between the Yorkshire Gentlemen and the Aldershot Division, begun at Aldershot on the previous day. When Messrs. C. W. Lan- don and H. W. Dickson went in to commence the fourth innings for the Yorkshiremen, there only remained two hours and forty mmutes in which to get the 270 runs wanted to win. Both batsmen, though, enjoy high repu­ tations as gentle tappers, and they not only got the runs within the specified time, but with half an hour to spare. Mr. DicksoD, who if I mistake not is the same batsman who scored well for Nortbants—was it Northants ? at times, was not out 141, Mr. Landon not out 121 at the finish. The former fairly brought down the house with twenty ru n s-ie , five boundary hits in succession—from one over. A nd now for the other side of the picture ! But it will be best to give the score to speak for itself, premising that the match, which was played early in the month, was between the Sophomores and the Freshmen of Haver, ford College. The innings of the Freshmen was as follows: — E. Field, b Alsop Chalfont, b Lester . Howson, b Alsop . Macsfee, c Adams, A ltop................. . Wilkins, b Lester McCrea, b Lester . Beede’man, bLester Detroiter, b Lester... Rhodes, b Alsop ... Jacobs, lbw, b Alsop Tnatcher, not o u t... Total .......... Only forty balls were bowled in the innings. The Sophomores, it may be added, scored 142. T he lovers of cricket coincidences could hardly find one more grateful and comforting to their peculiar tastes than was furnished in the last two matches between Surrey and Yorkshire at the Oval. In that played on the Surrey Ground on June 29 and 30, 1893, Yorkshire, after following on in a minority of 231, saved the innings, and Surrey won by ten wickets. On Tuesday last, after a long outing on the previous day, Yorkshire had followed on 259 runs to the bad, and again Surrey won by ten wiokets. In each case, too, Wainwright helped considerably by his play at the close of Yorkshire’s second innings to put feurrey in a second time. The most striking coincidence in connection with the two games is though that in 1893 as well as in 1894, Richardson was unable to play, owing to an injury. I t hardly seemed ’ within the bounds of probability that there was any record of his own left for the “ Grand Old Man of Cricket ” tojbeat. Nonetheless, the fact remains—ond if only as a proof of the remarkable vitality of a cricketer who has participated iu first-clas3 matches for thirty years, it is worthy of special notice—that W .G.’s 196 for M.C.C. and Ground v. Cambridge University on Tuesday is the highest innings }ie has ever rpade ftt
