Gunn and Hardstaff, Notts v. Derbyshire, at Derby, June 16. On four occasions during the season were there three partnerships of over 100 in the same innings, Yorkshire and the Australians supplying two instances cach. These were :— Yorkshire v. Warwick, at Rirmioghim: Moor­ house and Wainwright, 1*28for 5th ; Lord Uawkeand Peel, 292 for 8:h; Hirst and Peel, 136 for 9th. Yorkshire v. Leicestershire, at Leicester: Brown and Tunnic’.iffe, 139for 1st; Brown and F. S. Jackson, 15) for 2nd ; Denton and Hirst, 117 for 6.h. Australians v. Leicestershire, at Leicester: Dar'ing and Giffen, 145 for 2nd ; Darling and Donnan, 133 for 3rd ; Darling and Gregory, 145 for 4th. Australians v. Derbyshire, at Derby : Giffen and Iredile, 120 for 2nd ; Donnan and Trott, 211 for 5:h ; Donnan and Hill, 183 for 6:h. The only parallel I can recall for Darling’s feat of sharing in three three-figure partner­ ships in one innings is Scotton in the match between Eleven of England and the Austra­ lian Team of 1884, at Huddersfield. A glance at the ‘ ‘firstwicket” tablewill show that Brown and Tunnicliffe added over 100 while together in each innings of Yorkshire v. Middlesex at Lord’s, a most unusual feat, also accomplished, though not for the first wicket, by Messrs. H. D. G. Leveson-Gower and C. C. Pilkington for Oxford against Mr. A. J. Webbe’s Eleven, this pair putting on 107 for the fifth wicket in the first innings of their side and 100 in the second. V I . — T h r e e ( o r m o r e ) C e n t u r ie s in a n I n n in g s . This remarkable feat, which hadnever been recorded in a first-class match till fourteen or fifteen years ago, wras performed five times in the wonderful run-getting season of 1896. For the first time, too, four centuries were made in one innings. Here are the instances :— F. S. Jackson, 117 Wainwiight, 126 Peel, 210* Lord Hawke, 166 Bean, 113 Marlow, 108 K.S.

T. Hearne his oa August 11th, in England v. Australia at'.he Oval. Three of those inc1tided in this list—G. Giffen, Peel, and Hu at—are also to be found in that of the 1000-runs scorers. The double feat is a very rare one, having only been accomplished before in first-class cricket by W.G. (several times), C. T. Studd (twice), Flowers and Davidson (each once), and Giffen himself on two previous visits. Had Wainwright scored 41 more runs he would have been numbered with his two fellow-countrymen and the great Australian; while a goodly number of wickets were credited to one or two of the 1000-runs men —Haywrard taking 91, Davidson 90, and Pougher 88. IV.— P a irs o f S p icta cle s . I give simply the names of the unfortunate earners of spectacles, with, in the cases in which the same man was a victim more than once, the number of times he was thus debited. I do not include any instance in which a man was not out in one or both innings, as I hold that it is essential to a genuine “ pair ” 1hat a man should be twice dismissed without scoring. The I;*t includes the names of four men who during the season scored over 100J runs, and of no fe\ser than eleven who were among the centurions of 1896. There arc in all 52 instances, shared among 43 batsmen. Attewell (W.) Board (J. H.) Briggs (J.) Brown (L.) F. G. Bull Butterfield (W.) P. W. Cobbold Coe -2 C. O. Cooper W. G. Grace, jun.

Smith Storer E. L. Thomas C. L. Townsend—3 H. Trumble Whiteside (J. P.) The only batsmen who, playing in ten innings or more, were never out for a duck were: Ayres, J. W. Bonner, J. Douglas, F. E. Lacey, F. Mitchell, K. W. Rice, C. Hobson, E. Rowley, E. Smith, G. Thorn­ ton, and C. E. M. Wilson. But none of these was among the busiest batsmen of the year, the largest number of innings played by any of them being Mr. Robson’s 23. The following great batsmen, all of whom played in 35 innings or more—some as many as 55— were only once each out without scoring: Abel (55 innings), Brockwell (49), Chatterton (35), Davidson (38), W. G. Grace (54), K. S. Ranjitsinhji (55), Wainwright (48), and Albert Ward (51). (To be continued .) CRICKETERS WHO HAVE TAKEN 100WIC KETS AND MADE 1,000 RUNS IN A SEASON. Year. Aggregate runs made.
