At Gainsborough on April 14th, at the age of 82, Mr. Chapman, M.R.C.V.S., a well-known Notts county cricketer of the forties, died from apoplexy. His best year was perhaps 1842, when among other scores he made 41 for Notts v. Sussex, and 39 for Notts Gentlemen v. Sheffield. In the same year he played for Notts against England whose team included Fuller Pilch and Alfred Mynn, both being in good form. Mr. Chapman’s score in this match was 11. In the following year he made 41 out of a total of 326 for Notts v. Sussex, and was the only amateur on the Notts side against M.C.C., when his score was 10 not out. He did a noteworthy bowling feat in 1844, getting Pilch and Mynn with the first ball he bowled to them, although Pilch was very firmly set when he went in. In 1847, when his career as a first- class batsman may be said to have ended, he made not out 28 in Barker’s benefit match for Notts v. England ; but in after years, when he removed from Nottingham to Gainsborough, he played for the latter town with conspicuous success. It is greatly due to him and to his father that the Trent Bridge ground was made. LANCASHIRE. APRIL. 27 and 28. Leyland, v. 18 of Leyland and District MAY. 4, 5, 6. Manchester, v. Yorkshire 11.12.13.

On several Saturdays during the season, C lapton will put three teams into the field, and the only occasion in which there will only be a single team is on the Saturday before the August Bank Holiday. Matches will frequently take place in the middle of the week, generally on Thursday. All the best clubs in the neighbourhood are on the card. Clapton does not now have a tour, but arranges a week in its place. This year the week begins on Whit Monday, and the oppos­ ing teams areOld Citizens, Erratics, South Hampstead, The Clove, M.C.C., and Cheshunt and District. The club has no recognised captain; in each match the captain is chosen before the team takes the field. The honorary secretary is still R. H. Walbancke, 12 and 13, Nicholas Lane, E.C., and the ground men and bowlers are Millership and Cooper, both Nottinghamshire men. APRIL. 25. Clapton. Opening match.
