T H U R S D A Y A U G U ST 3 0 th , 1894 &bafcrt£fe ab& M # f ©Ironloi® ®tffcfa®time.— = ________ ; __ E v e n tbose m ost interested will, I feel sure, regret that the freaks of the weather should have influenced the settlement of the vexed question of the premiership of County cricket. It would have been infinitely more satisfactory even to the parties chiefly con ­ cerned had luck uot played such an important part ic t b e final ^djustm^n^. Qn paper,indeed, Surrey and Yorkshire have been so thoroughly well matohed this summer, that it would have only been in accordance with publio form had they been bracketed equal as the outoome of the year’s cricket. On the other hand the interests of the game are perhaps best served by a reasonable distribution of the chief honours. Yorkshire were last year undisputed champions, so that they can well afford to yield the first place if only for a short time. M r S t o d d a r t must, I should think, be glad that his task of collecting the English team to star in Australia duricg the oom iD g winter is at last accomplished. As I hinted in last week’s “ Gossip,” Abel, who has betn twice out there before, did not feel inclined to take the trip again, and in his place Brown, the Y ork­ shire player, has been engaged. The addition of Mr. A . C. M cLaren and Brown w ill, of course, strengthen the batting considerably, though, even now the side is com pleted, it can hardly be said to be over-strong in tbis department. The thirteen players are as under Mr.A.E.St<ddart( Yiiddle- Peel (Yorkehire) sex) (captain) J. T. Brow n (York- M r.F.(i. F* rd(Middlesex) t-hire) Mr. H. Philipson (late Briggs (Lancashire) Oxford University) Humphreys (SueBex) Mr. i_j. H. Gay(Som erset) Richardson (fcurrey) Me. A C. M cLaren Lockw ood Surrey) (Lancashire) Brockwell Surrey) A. W ard (Lancashire) It is unfortunate that neither Mr. F. S. Jackson, Mr. L. C. H . Palairet, Gunn, nor Abel have been able to go, and the presence of the two amateurs, who have not been to Australia before, would have been particularly gratifying to the cricket public out there. There is every reason to believe that the English team, who are to leave London in the Orient Steamship “ Ophir,” on the 21st of next m onth, will render a good account of them ­ selves. Still, considering that they are to play five matches against the full strength of Australia, one cannot but regret that the side is not more representative of English cricket. T h e matches between the Gentlemen and Players of Philadelphia have m ore than once been productive of run-getting considerable above the average. N or did Ihe m ost recent of the series, played on the seventh of this m onth and two follow ing days, furnish the exception to prove the rule. On the contrary the scoring on both sides was out of the com ­ mon, and no less than 842 runs were made in the three days with only tw enty-four wickets down. T h e comm encem ent of the game gave a fair indication of what was in store for the bowlers, for G. S. Patterson and A . M. W ood began by scoring 217 for tho first wicket of the Gentlemen. The latter, who, it m ay be of use to add. if only as a rem inder,played for D erby­ shire some years ago, had a splendid record in this match. In the second innings he assisted W . W . N oble, who, as some C r ic k e t readers may remember, played a fine innings of 77 for the Gentlemen of Philadelphia against the Australian team last September, to put on 173 for the second w icket, and his aggregate for the matoh was 185 for once out. G. S. Patterson, it goes without saying, is the excellent all-round cricketer who did such goocl servio? for tb ? (jeutlem en of
