THURSDAY, AUG. 19 t h , 1897. ^aVrilton The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. I n speaking of Yorkshire last week one was inclined to make use of a text which refers to the mighty. There can be no doubt that many of the team have suffered from the continual playing on hard wickets day after day, for it has been but seldom this year that matches have not lasted well into the third day, and, moreover, half the men are more or less crippled. Hence defeats and dissatisfaction. 3794-288 = 667. Imagine an enthusi­ astic Hampshire man, who had come up to the Oval to see how his team would fare against Surrey, becoming dis­ heartened and leaving the ground when he 6aw 379 go up with no wicket down; imagine him again at Southampton watching Mr. Bainbridge and Quaife piling on the runs until at last when 288 is on the scoring board he can stand it no longer, and incontinently bolts. He would have seen 667 runs made against his county in the same week without a single wicket falling. Prodigious !
