S e pt . 9, 1897. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 407 THE SCARBOROUGH FESTIVAL. NORTH v. SOUTH. Played at Scarborough on September 2, 3, and 4. Abandoned. This, the third match of the Festival, was absolutely ruined by the weather. It is bad enough when rain spoils a match on any ground, but when it does so at Scarborough, one feels that it is alto­ gether too much of a good thing. The season ought to go out in a blaze of sun­ shine, with crowds of gaily dressed ladies to make its last moments bright and worthy to be remembered, but if it is going to raiu all the time, or nearly all the time, at Scarborough, and mackin­ toshes and overcoats are the most con­ spicuous objects to be seen, except um­ brellas, it is very discouraging and cheer­ less. The Hastings Festival remains, it is true, and although at the present time there does not seem much prospect of fine weather, it is devoutly to be hoped that if umbrellas are to be used at all it will be to keep off the rays of a blazing sun. It cannot be said that the South team was of sufficient strength to arouse much enthusiasm, for the amateurs were repre­ sented by Mr. Vernon alone; while the North was Yorkshire with Ward and Baker. No play took place on Thursday, and a very late start was made on Friday when the South went first to the wickets. The innings was only remarkable for a very good innings of 39 by Carpenter and a freely hit 39 not out by Mead. Wain­ wright, who was the most successful bowler, brought his total of wickets to a hundred; he had previously scored a thousand runs. In a very bad light the North had half an hour’s batting, and in the course of that time lost Ward and Tunnicliffe, who both fell to Albert Trott. It was only natural that after Trott’s recent fine performances for the M.C.C. great interest should be taken in his re­ appearance in first-class cricket. In the few overs that he had he certainly justi­ fied the favourable opinions which have been formed of his bowling, but, unfor­ tunately, he had no opportunity on Satur­ day of showing what he could do, for the raiu was so heavy that the match had to be abandoned.
