The news of the death of Mr. J. C. Gregory oomes to me from the veteran Charles Absolon, who was not only in the thick of the fun with him while he was playing cricket, but was an attached friend of his up to the last. Though he first represented Middlesex by birth, he subse­ quently did good service for Surrey, under the residential qualification, and, if I remember rightly, acted as captain of the eleven, at least occasionally, in 1871. It was in the Sussex match at the end of August in that season that his leg gave way, with the result that he was obliged to give up cricket of the more serious kind. No chance of a matoh was ever allowed to escape by him, and indeed, Mr. A. Hay- garth,in “ Scores and Biographies,’’ reproduces a summary of the matches in whioh he played from 1865 to 1870 inclusive—as it appeared in a sporting paper of the day. In these six seasons it was computed that he took part ia no less than four hun­ dred and thirty-four matohes, with as the result an aggregate of 12,694 runs. How fairly he distributed his favours may be judged by the faot that in 1867, he was stated to be a member of no less than eighteen Metropolitan clubs. A dashing batsman as well as an excellent field, those who remember his cricket will certainly share the regret expressed by the compiler of “ Scores and Biographies,” that his talents were not more developed in the great contests of the day. I n a week of such high scoring as that which characterised first- olass cricket during the six days ending on Saturday, Walter Hearne’s hat trick on Thursday in the first innings of Lancashire, at Tonbridge, came as quite a relief. For a hat trick is, as everyone knows, like the black swan, a rare bird in the world of county cricket, more especially under such conditions as prevailed last week. Indeed in the last six seasons I should be in­ clined to doubt if there were the same number of records of the kind in what are recognized as strictly first-class Inter-County matches. R ich a r d so n , the Surrey fast bowler, and H u m p h r e y S jth e lobster of Sussex, have both, I understand, received and aocepted an invita­ tion from Mr.Stoddart to acoompany t h e team he is to personally conduct to Australia this winter. So far, at least if report with regard to th e names of those who have promised to go is correct, t h e bowling is better represented than the batting. The players who are looked on as certain to make the tour with Mr. Stoddart are Messrs. Philipson and Gay, Briggs, Peel, Attewell, Albert Ward, Richardson, and Humphreys, not an excess of
