C r ic k e t —the n wspaper as well as the game— has lost a keen supporter by the death of G. C. Rayner. First identified with Metropolitan cricket as hon. sec. of the Carlton Hill C.C. for some years, he became better known, subsequently, as the honorary secretary of the Hornsey Club, a position he held from 1883 to 1889 with conspicuous success. Widely known among Metropolitan cricketers, he w as universally respected. Moreover, it is not too much to say that the Hornsey Club owes much of its present flourishing condition to his energy and capacity. His death took place after a lingering illness on the 9th inst. A correspondent sends from Wild- fontein a cricket curio, in the shape of some remarkably level scoring in a match played at Dundee, in Natal, on Boxing Day. The match was between the local Club and Yrykeid, and in the four innings there was only a difference of one run. Each time Vrykrie batted the total was the same (63 to wit), while Dundee after also scoring 63 in the first knock, were dismissed for one run less when they went in again. The distinction of a double tie match was therefore just missed by a notch. The South African cricketer to whom I am indebted for this curiosity, reminds me that he sent an account of another match played in Aooea in South Africa, in 1891, in which both sides scored identically the same number of runs. That those who run may read, I may add the particulars of this performance were duly recorded in the chronicles of the books of “ Cricket.”
