I w ill conclude to day w ith an extract from the Sporting Magazine of 1792 :— “ A very curious match o f cricket was played b y eleven girls o f R otherby, Leicestershire, against an equal number o f H ob y, on Thursday, on their feast week. T he inhabitants o f all the villages adjacent were eager spectators o f this novel and interesting co n te st; when after a display o f astonishing feats o f skill and activity, the palm o f victory was obtained b y tbe fair maidens o f R oth erby. There are about ten homes in R oth erby, and near sixty in H o b y ; so great a disproportion affords m atter o f exultation to the honest rustics o f the first m entioned village. The bow lers o f the conquering party were imm ediately placed in a sort o f triumphal car, preceded b y m usic and flying streamers, and thus conducted hom e by the youths of R oth erby, adm idst the acclamations of a numerous group of pleased spectators.” I comm end this type o f “ The W om an w h o did ” to the serious study of her m odem prototype.

F O U R TH M A T C H —y. G E N T L EM E N O F P H IL A D E L P H IA . The tw o m atches betw een M r. M itchell’s team and the Gentlemen o f Philadelphia had been anticipated with m ore than ordinary interest b y the cricket enthusiasts in Philadelphia. The first o f these was begu n on the ground of the G ermantown C lub at Mannheim on F riday, September 20th. The wicket had been freshened b y the slight rains o f the week, and though n o t fast was in e x ­ cellent condition. The toss resulted in favour of the Philadelphians, and Captain Brockie sent in Patterson and N oble to open the batting. M illigan and H artley were the first bow lers, and the latter was fortunate enough in his second over to get rid o f N oble, w ho had ju st before hit him to the boundary. W ood, the old D erbyshire cricketer, join ed Patterson w ith the total six, bu t only added three before he put one o f M illigan’s into the hands o f M itchell in the slips. Things still w ent badly for the Philadelphians, and Patterson saw Coates and B ohlen bow led in quick succession, the form er w ith the total at 24, the latter at 27. W alter Clark came next, but Patterson did all the scoring, adding fou r 4’s from M illigan and tw o boundary hits from H artley in quick succession. This brou gh t on a com plete change o f bow lin g. L ow e and A rkw righ t w ere entrusted w ith the ball, and the latter’s first ball g o t Clark out l.b .w . W ith h alf the wickets dow n for 61, things w ere not look in g at all w ell for the hom e team when R alston came in. N ow came the stand o f the innings. Patterson continued to p lay in fine form and, as runs were com in g fast, M illigan resumed instead o f L ow e. A little later H ill was tried for A rkw right, but the new bow ler was hit rather freely, so that H artley was put on again. Still the batsm en continued to score freely, and ju st after M illigan had given up the ball to W ilson, R alston com pleted his 50, Patterson at the same time having scored 69. O n ly three m ore runs had been added when R alston, tryin g to pu ll a ball from W ilson, played a little too late and was bow led. A s it was close on h alf­ past one o ’ clock, luncheon was now taken, with the total 154 for six w ickets. Patterson and R alston had added 93 in exactly an hour, and o f these R alston had made 53 in excellent style, and w ithout anything like a chance. On the resum p­ tion at 2.40 B rockie join ed Patterson. The Captain was p layin g w ell, and had made 10 when a bum ping ball from M illigan was too m uch for him , and re­ tired caught in the slips. Seven fo r 184. The fourth ball he had proved too much for Altem us, and M illigan had his third successive victim tw en ty -tw o runs later in K in g, w ho was l.b .w . in tryin g to get one round to leg. B aily, the last bats­ man stayed while the score was increased b y 24. M illigan was again the favoured bow ler, and when he bow led B aily for a very useful 13 the innings was over. Patterson had seen the whole o f the side out, and contributed 109 o f the total of 234. It was an excellent p erfor­ mance o f the Philadelphians, particu­ larly after they had lost fou r wickets fo r 27. The chief credit, o f course, rested w ith Patterson, w h o again proved him ­ self to be the best batsman in P hiladel­ phia. H e not on ly played with care, but hit w ell when an opportunity arose. W ith the exception o f a chance to R obinson behind the w icket when he had made 27, his 109 was absolutely faultless. W ith an hour left fo r play the E nglish team began their innings with M itchell and H ill. Patterson and K in g shared the Philadelphian bow lin g, and the form er raised the first cheer b y bow lin g the E nglish captain w ith the score only six. H em ingw ay join ed H ill, who just afterwards gave a very hard chance from K in g to cover-poin t. A fter this the tw o hitters scored freely, and H em ingw ay was begin n in g to look very dangerous when a yorker from B aily settled him . H ill, w h o had g o t 27, had D ruce as his next partner, and they were still in when stumps were drawn for the day. The total then was 80, H ill 39 and D ruce 10. In very hot weather the gam e was re­ sumed the follow in g m orning. B aily and K in g this time shared the bow lin g,
