THURSDAY AUGUST 2 th , 1894 W&& *b«triLo^ ferfalf ohronlol® o f th e t!m a -= ___ ______ H am U k C. P ig g , the well-known cricketer, has sent me particulars of a pretty good piece of bowl­ ing by D. Hayward, a brother of the player who was so much in evidence with the bat for Surrey v. Somersetshire at the Oval at the end of last week. D.H was playing at Bury St. Edmunds for the local club against Cheveley Park on Friday last. This was how the bowling came out: Orers. Mdns. Runs. Wkts. 9 ... 6 ... 8 ... 9 “ It is worthy of remark that at one period he had six wickets for no runs. But, in fact, he took seven, as the umpire declined to give the seventh man out, though plainly caught at the wicket. This man was bowled next over by the other trundler. Of the eight runs obtained,the four was a lucky snick to leg, the three made up of a sharp run to the on, and a very stupid overthrow by myself gave the extra two runs. Tfye §ipgle was a smart run obtained in the slips. In my twenty years’ experience of cricket,” C.P. adds, “ I think this is one of the best, if not the best piece of bowling I’ ve seen.” C on cern in g the contents of Captain Coe’s paragraph which you quoted from the Star in your last number, and interestingly comment upon, the following [writes H.F.H.] is apropos » the which I had at the time, from my brother, F. G. Harding, of Hastings, and whom, Mr. Editor, I think y o u know, is an active member of the Islington Albion Club, whose ground was then at Tufnell Park. When E. M Grace was up in London in 1862 to play for the first time for the Gentlemen against the Players (at Lord’s), and was staying with his cousins, the Days, at their house in Tufnel Park, he accepted the invitation of the Albion Olub to praotise on their ground. My brother, receiving him ab the gate, congratulated him upon his successful debut for the Gentlemen —(the match had then been played)—and E M. (with thanks) responded with the remark: ‘ I have a younger brother, who, if he makea good hereafter present promises, will become on9 of the greatest of cricketers.” This was fraternally generous, and we know the fore­ cast has proved abundantly true. It will be observed that this incident occurred some two or three years before the one related in Captain Coe’s paragraph. A c o r r espo n d en t calls my attention to what he claims, and I should think rightly, to be a unique performance in cricket. It is nothing less than a triple first in the feat of taking all ten wickets in an innings. The bowler who is entitled to this record is Charles Lambert, acting captain of the Hatfield C.C On Saturday last in a match between the Hatfield and Cockfosters clubs in Hatfield, he got all ten wickets (seven of them bowled) in eleven overs, six of which were maidens, and at a cost of fourteen runs. His first achie\ e ment of the same kind was on August 17, 1887, also for Hatfield, when he bowled the whole of Mr. Butler’s eleven (Young Hertford­ shire). The second was on August 14, 1891, and again for Hatfield, when he got all the Harpenden wickets. C.L., who is forty-five years of age, is, as no doubt many C r ic k e t readers know, tennis marker to the Marquis of Salisbury, and brother to the ex-champion tennis player. J. B. H a t t , a trusty friend and pitcher cf C r ic k e t , seems •o h w e been pretty successful in moulding the raw mateiial available at the Abbey School, Fort Augustus, which is Inver­ ness way. At all events the full team of the school, ^hicb, it may te added, includes Masters and professional, bas gone through the soason with all the glory of an unbeaten record. Of the ten matches played no less than nine were won, and the other drawn. Of the nine victories, too, five were with more than an innings to spire. Altogether, the school had much tbe best of their opponent* at all points. During the season they scored 1,399 for seventy-nine wickets, giving an aver­ age of over 17 runs per man ; while their op­ ponents scored 796 for one hundred aud sixty- two wickets, an average of under five, Riley,
