Now that twenty men have gained the coveted distinction of scoring 1,000 runs in first-class cricket this season, it may be interesting to give the numbers who have achieved like honours during the past twelve years, and the names and averages to date of the twenty men of mark this year. In 1883 the numbers were nine, in 1884 seven, in 1885 seven, in 1886 eight, in 1887 seven, in 1888 three, in 1889 five, in 1890 five, in 1891 four, in 1892 ten, in 1893 fourteen, in 1894 eleven, average number seven and a half. Mr. W . G. Grace appears in every year but 1891. In none of those years has he or any man made as many runs as so far stand to his credit this year, indeed he has not exceeded them since 1876, and already they are his third in point of numbers for a year’s play.

On Monday last in the tables published in the sporting papers the positions were somewhat varied. Of the famous bowlers, Loh­ mann, Mold, Eichardson, Peel, Attewell, and Mr. C. L . Townsend, the figures under detailed may be of interest. The positions given are of course between these six bowlers, and do not refer to others whose averages are not given. Aug. 15. Aug. 19.

Captain Sharp, who has given another proof not needed but none the less worthy of all laudation of bis seamanlike qualities, will, Cricktt readers will not be uninterested to hear a fine athletic man and a devotee of the noble game. Of course we all know the influence that cricket has upon the man and the gallant and able conduct of this officer is quite what might have been expected, when it is explained that he is a thorough sportsman and cricketer. S om e very close running is taking place between several of the bowlers holding high positions in the averages this year. Latrt -w^ekoxi^n article on Mr. Townsend GRANVILLE (Lee) SUSSEX TOUR.
