T O ) U t o n (S r o s s tp * The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. The ways of umpires are at times, like those of the Heathen Chinee, peculiar. But for real ingenuity I think it would take a good deal to beat the ruling of one of the fraternity as reported in a recent number of the South African Review. That worthy has at least quite au original way of dealing with the batsman who so far forgets himself as to try on the back- handed stroke more. —E. M . Grace, K. J. Key, and other equally volatile cricketers. In a recent match in South Africa a bats­ man had by this particular stroke sent a hall to the part of the field where there was no­ body to stop it. On appeal, the umpire gave him out, because ‘ 1 after indicating a certain position, and the field having been set accordingly, he had been guilty of a breach of etiquette .” —A learned Judge ! C fiiCKE T readers who remember A. O. Whiting in his Sherborne or Oxford days, will be interested to find that he is still capable of making a big score and making it well. As late as the com­ mencement of this month he assisted in a good performance, which is said to be a record for Ceylon. Going in first for Dimbula against the.Royal Warwickshire Regiment with A. C. W. Clarke, the pair put on 223 before they were separated. The example of fast scoring exhibited by the first two batsmen was so well followed by the rest of the side that 443 runs were made in just over four hours. An amusing incident by the way, occurred in this innings, when a Dimbula bowler, in a moment of forgetfulness, stopped a smart return with his hat, thereby placing five runs to his opponents’ credit. One would almost have thought that the rule providing a penalty for this offence had become quite obsolete.
