In recognition of the useful work he had done as pavilion clerk to tie Marylebone Club for twenty-two years, the use of Lord’s was given to G. F. Hearne for the purpose cf a testimonial match, G. F., as most C r ic k e t readers know, is a son of Tom Hearne, the old Mildlesex player, and head of tbe ground staff at Lord’s. If never a first class player, G. F. Hearne has been actively associated with most of tbe leading oricketers, amateur as well as professional, by virtue of hi* office, in which he has earned the respect and esteem of all classes. A ll things con­ sidered, though in no way representative, two strong sides had been collected for what is the last cricket match of nny importance of the year. An excellenVwickot, too, had been pre­ pared, so that the game was plajed under favourable conditions. W . G., who had won the toss for the Gentlemen, went in himpelf on Mondav morning, accompanied by Mr. Murdoch. “ The Grand Old Man’’ had only a short life, being bowled by J. T. Hearne with the total at 18, of which he had only con­ tributed 4. Mr. Palairet, who succeeded, soon fell to Mead, and two really good batsmen ere out for only 21, not a promising outlook. M 'irs. New him trd Mi rd ;b9 however, gave a very different eoajpl xion to the game. Both played admirable cricket, and at lunoheon time they were still in,'having increased the total already by 87 runs. On resuming, the twobatsmen quickly got to work, with the result that the score rose fast Several changes of bowling were tried without effect, till at last, with the total at 188, Mr. Murdoch was well taken at coverpoint. The Sussex captain had batted with great skill and judgment, and there was not the sem blance of a chance during the two hours and fifty-five minutes he was in. Messrs. Brann and W. G., jun., gave little trouble, but Mr. Hewett gave Mr. Newham some help, staying with him for forty minutes while thirty runs were added. Mr. Newham lost Mr. Ford before he was caught himself at 253. He had been in just over three hours and a half, and as with Mr. Murdoch, his score of 105 was ab solutely faultless. A little hitting by Messrs Woods and Perkins gave some relief to the remainder of the batting, and with the latter’s dismissal the innings as well as pliy for the day ended. On Tuesday at a quarter to twelve o’clock the Players began their innings with Abel and Alec Hearne. The start was no better than that of the Gentlemen, as with only one run up flearne was bowled bv Mr. Woods. Bean, who followed, after one life, hit away freely, adding 31 out of 56 while he was in. Brockwell had just got into double figures when he was caught, and soon after the hundred had appeared Maurice Read was bowled. Abel, who had been batting with his usual care, found a useful partner in G. G. Hearne, and by the luncheon interval 43 had been added without the loss of another wicket. On the resumption, in spite of fre quent changes in the bowling, the two bats­ men held their own. Soon after 200 had appeared Abel completed his hundred, and, as the pair were now thoroughly well set, the score rose steadily. The partnership had pro­ duced 119 in an hour and forty minutes, when Hearne was caught. He had played excellent cricket, especially during the latter part of his innings. Soon after his retirement Abel was bowled, and then the innings quickly came to an end. Abel was at the wickets three hours and f jrty minutes. His score, too, was entirely free from a mistake. The Gentle­ men, who had an advantage of eight runs on the first inningp, began badly when they went in again, losing W. G., the younger, who was smartly thrown out by the wicket-keeper. Messrs. Palahet and Ford, however, made amends by some free cricket, and when play ceased they were still in with the score 42. Yesterday, in a bad light, the not outs raised the score before Mr. Ford was bowied for a very useful innings of twenty-one. Mr. Palairet stayed with W .G. till the total was 73, and W .G , who went at the same total, was quickly followed by Mr. Murdoch. Mr. Hewett, who hit freely, lo3t Mr. Newham after the latter had made twenty, as well as Messrs. Brann, Perkins, and Woods in succes­ sion, till at the luncheon interval nine wickets were down with the total 178. Of these Mr. Hewett, who was still in, had made 64. After helping to add nineteen runs Mr. Hewett was caught in the long field, and the innings closed for 197. Mr. Bewett’s 75 was a char- actistic display of free and attractive cricket, He was only at the wicket an hour and twenty-five minutes. The Players, left with 206 to win and only two hours and ten minutes for play, began well, Brockwell and Abel scor­ ing fifty in half an hour. Notwithstanding several bowling charges, the score rosa steadily and the total was 'carried to 139 before Abel was bowled. Bean oime in with only a few minutes left, and when he had made eight time was up. The Playeis had thus all the best of ihedraw. only wanting 50 to win with nine wickets in hand- G e n t l e m e n .
