Cricket 1895

108 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M ay 2, 1895. THE MARYLEBONE CLUB. THE ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY of M.C.C. was celebrated at Lords yesterday, and the subjoined Annual Report was passed. In 1894, the Club consisted of 4,034 mem­ bers ; of whom 3,591 paid; 214 are life members; and 229 abroad. During the season 162 matches were played, of which 96 were won; 33 lost; and 33 drawn. By the lamented death of the Earl of Bess- borough, the Club has lost one of its oldest and most respected members, and cricket one of its most ardent admirers and supporters. He had been a member of the Club since 1834, and became one of the original trustees, when the freehold was purchased in 1866. The Committee are certain that they represent the feelings of the members, in paying a tribute of respect to the memory of one who, for so many years, never ceased to encourage the fine features associated with our national game, both at Lord’s and at Harrow, where his kindly presence was ever welcome and his absence will be most deeply felt. The Committee recommend Mr. Y. E. Walker to fill the vacant Trusteeship. The Earl of Ancaster, the Earl of Lichfield, Mr. C. K. Francis, and Mr. A. J. Webbe retire by rotation from the Committee. The Earl of Jersey, Lord Hawke, Mr. E. L. Bateman, and Mr. Walter H. Long, M.P., have been duly nominated to fill the vacancies, and have expressed their willing­ ness to serve. The Committee regret that, owing to the death of Mr. E. S. E. Hartopp, who has been auditor and had done great service for many years in that capacity, it will be necessary to appoint another auditor, and they recommend Major-Gen. F. C. Trevor, to fill the vacancy, and the re-election of Mr. W. B. Heberden and Mr. James R. Mellor, towhom the thanks of the Club are due for their services. The thanks of the Club are due to Major George C. Bower, for two fine Morkhar heads, and to Mr. O. R. Dunell, for a splendid collection of ten pairs of horns from South Africa. The Hon. Alfred Lyttelton and Sir Edward Grey are the respective holders of the gold and silver tennis prizes. The billiard-room has been renovated, and the billiard table re-fitted throughout with all the latest improvements by Messrs. Burroughes and Watts. At a Special General Meeting, held on July 10, 1894, it was resolved to alter Law 53 of Cricket as follows :— “ The side which goes in second shall follow their innings if they have scored 120 runs less than the opposite side in a three days’ match, or 80 in a two days’ match.” This alteration will come into operation this season. The Committee once more desire to call the attention of members to the fact, that many persons not entitled to the privileges of the Club, obtain admission to the pavilion on pro­ hibited occasions,thereby causing great incon­ venience tomembers. As it is quite impossible to effect any improvement in this direction, without the cordial co-peration of the mem­ bers ; the Committee trust that they will assist them by shewing their passes when required, and by pointing out any one whom they know or suspect to be an intruder. The Club has at length bought the two Freehold Houses, Nos. 43 and 45, fet. John’s Wood Road, to the east of the Racquet Court, end the General Meeting is asked to ratify the purchase. Ileame, Thos.

Malvern and Clare were also successful in Marriott, who scored 45 in his first attempt, but failed in the second innings. Joy and Hilary, with Alexander and Richardson, also exhibited promise of future value, and S. P. Bell, who will be remembered as a Rugby footballer, scored 46 in his second show. Peers of Charterhouse, with six wickets for 61, and Wilson, of Uppingham, with 4 for 46 did best in the bowling line. The match, cur­ tailed by rain, ended in adraw, much against W. G. Druce’s side who wanted 159 runs with two wickets only to fall. Score and analysis:— M r . M itchell ’ s S ide . Second Innings. Lord Harris is the President for the ensuing year. M.C.C. v. NOTTS. The opening day of first-class cricket at Lord’s brought bright but windy weather, afterwards varied by showers which put a premature end to play at 3.15. On starting play the wicket was very dead from recent rains, and runs came very slowly. Flowers and Attewell began the attack to Hornby and De Trafford, the midland county skipper at once being caught at mid-on, and the Lancas­ trian taken in the slips with five on. Bean hit well for a time, but at 19 lost his wicket for 10. Hearne and Storer put a better complexion on the game, though with his score at a single the latter should have been caught by Gunn. After Hearne went at 43, no one stayed with Storer, and the Derby­ shire stumper’s departure, seventh out at 67, only preceded the end of the innings by nine runs. Attewell took seven wickets for 35, and Handford, who bowled 5 overs only, had a wicket for half-a-dozen. Notts had but half-an-hour’s batting before the rain came on, and during that time Martin got rid of Daft and Pike for 7 runs ; Gunn with 8, and Flowers, no score, being not out, and Notts having two wickets down for 15.
