Cricket 1894

412 CRICKET 8 A WEEKLY RECORD OS' THE GAMSSo s e p t . 20 ,1894 THE REIGATE FESTIVAL, MB. W. W, BEAD ’ S X I. v. MR. W. G. GRACE'S X I. The success which attended the match under this title last September, was quite sufficient to justify the crioket fathers at Reigate in making arrangements for an annual fixture on 1he same lines. Fortunately for the promoters Dr. W . G. Grace was again ready to get up a side to oppose an eleven collected by Mr. W. W . Read. The presenoe of the Grand Old Man of cricket would of itself have been an attraction to Surrey people, to judge by the enthusiasm his appearance evoked last year among all classes at Reiga'e. But besides, there was a goodly number of the leading cricketers of the day among the twenty-two players, so that there was a certainty of good cricket. There were, as is generally the case, disappointments, but taken on the whole the sides were strong and the play generally wag interesting and attractive. W.G., having won the toss, sent in Messrs. Mitchell and Ilewett at noon on Friday, to oppose the bowliDg of two Surrey men, Brockwell and Richardson. Though the latter was unfortunately lame and unable to get up his full paoe, he soon got rid of Mr. Hewett, who had not scored. The early batting was not very successful, and four good batsmen were out with the total only 41. W.G. and his son were the first to make a stand, and forty-six had been added when the father, who had made 32 of them, was bowled. Street helped to put on 54, and at lunch time the score was 145 for six wickets, W.G. junior not out 50. Richardson’s leg, it was found during the interval, would not allow of him taking Ihe field again, and with W .G’ s consent, Nice, a Surrey colt, who hails from Redhill, was allowed to take his place on Mr. Read's side. Young W.G. continued to play careful crioket with one life soon after the resumption, and as Mr. Nightingale and Wood both hit freely, the score rose quickly. Wood and W.G. junior pui on 84 in fifty-five minutes, and with Smith in, the scoring was even faster, the last wioket putting on 77 in three-quarters of an hour. Young W.G. was not out when the innings closed. He was batting for about four hours, and exoept for one life when he had made 59, there was no chance. On Saturday morning Abel and Mr. Murdoch begau the batting for Mr. Read’s side, putting on 28 for the first wicket. After Abel’ s retirement, Mr. Newham lent Mr. Murdooh useful assistance, and so fast was the sooring that 65 were added in forty minutes Brockwell and Mr. Murdoch took the score to 182, when the former was out for a thoroughly well - played 55. Brockwell was in two hours for his 58, which included two chances, and with some help from Messrs. Leveson- Gower and Graburn, the total was eventually taken to 226. Following on in a minority of 112, Mr. Read’s second inniogs was started by the captain and Mr. Graburn. The former set to work at onoe, and of the twenty-nine runs got when he was out, Mr. Graburn’s share was only four. Ayres, who came next, was well caught at mid-off for a single, and with an addition of 28, Mr. Read, who had made 49 out of 63 in sixteen hits, was bowled. After Mr. Page’s dismissal,Messrs.Leveson-Gower and Murdooh made a stand, bringing the total to 101 before the former, who had again played well, was driven back on to his wicket. More disasters followed, and when Abel, the eighth wioket, was bowled, time was up. Mr. Read’s side had jast managed to save the match, as at the finish they were only eight runs on, with two wickets to fall. Mr. H. T. Hewett, b Richardson .......... Mr. F.
