THURSDAY, JULZ 13 th , 1894 (§R h ilx tsn fcbstrs^ utfl brie# ohronlcl* c2 time.-* ____________ ______ _ McmU\k Any possibility of Mr. L. C. Palairet’s appearance in the annual oontest between Gentlemen and Players at the Oval on Thurs­ day last was effectually settled by the fact of a previous engagement for an important match of a different kind in another place. The first day of the Oval fixture had b:en chosen by the contracting parties for the wedding of last year’s Oxford captain to Miss Laverton, daughter of Mr. W. H. Laverton, of Leighton, near Westbury, Wilts. In both houses cricket has enthusiastic followers, so that the alliance is calculated to strengthen rather than weaken the ties which have bound them both to the game. Mr. Laverton’s hospitality to visiting teams at Leighton has been fully appreciated not only by Australian crioketers—the team of 1890 played there—but by Incogs and others of our best known ’touring English clubs. Mr. G. L. Wilson—who, C r ic k e t readers will . be glad to hear, has re­ covered sufficiently from his recent illness t,o be able to resume his place in the Sussex eleven very shortly—was I may add Mr. Palairet’s best man at the interesting function last Thursday. A silver gong from the Somersetshire Eleven was one of the many presents to the bridegroom. W il l you kindly forgive me [writes Mr. W. Williams, of 6, Cross Street, Caerleon] for pointing out that you are not strictly correct in some of your references to the late Lord Charles Russell In the first place the presentation to our grand old champion was made by Lord Fitzhardinge on July 22nd, 1S79, and not. as stated by you, by Lord Charles Russell in 187*2. The latter was asked to speak, and this he did, a newspaper report of his manly speech being now in my possession. Perhaps it would not be out of place for me to quote Lord Russell’s opening remarks, in which he said :—“ I am an old cricketer, and the enjoyment I have had in the cricket field for many years past has been in seeing Mr. Grace play the game. I look upon cricket and the love of it as the sport of the people, open to all, from the prince to the peasant, and am delighted to see that it is increasing year by year in popularity, and that in tome respects also it is being better played.” I am bound to admit the soft impeachment of my court(ou3 correspondent. I was present on the occasion of the presentation at Lord’s, but had forgotten the fact that Lord Charles only played a secondary part in the proceed­ ings. The mention of 1872 for 1879 was a mere slip of the pen, for which, none the less, I express my regret. As an illustration of the narrow margin which divides the nine Counties recognised until this year as first-class, and the four recently promoted to the front rank, the following tables, which show the collective batting and bowling of the nine as well as of the thirteen, will be of particular interest. As will be seen, the positions of the nine have been very slightly affected so far, at all events, by the addition of Warwickshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Essex to the list. War­ wickshire has the satisfaction of being practi­ cally second, not only in the record of matches but in the all-rotind averages. TH E CO U N T Y C H AM P IO N SH IP . P layed. W on. L ost.
