THURSDAY , M AY 1 2 ih , 1898. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. C. T. B. T u r n e r , who, as was stated in “ Gossip ” a week or two ago, has been in hospital at Gympie with dengue fever, has now quite recovered. An amusing, but at the same time regrettable incident, says the Sydney Mail, took place at the North Sydney Oval in the second grade engagement between North Sydney and East Sydney. It appears that close upon time the ninth wicket fell and the last man was absent. Some wrangling then took place between the two captains over the delay in send­ ing the next man in, and while that was going on “ time ” arrived and settled the dispute. T h e very latest news in the way of testimonials to Australians is the pro­ posal to raise a fund in South Australia for the advantage of Jones and Darling, whose services to the colony this season have been considerable. Headers of Cricket will remember that the services of Clement H ill have already been recog­ nised in the colony. A u s tr a lia n cricketers, whose season has by this time closed, have been making hay while the sun still continued to shine. At Melbourne, the East Melbourne C.C. put up 500 (H . Stuckey, 192) against South Melbourne on March 19 and 26; and on the same days, Melbourne made 469 against North Melbourne(H . Trumble, 180, and H . Graham, 145 ) ; while at Sydney (also on the same days), Padding­ ton made 480 for five wickets against Redfern (Y . Trumper, 133; M. A . Noble, 138 ; and F. Meagher, 108). M a j o r W a r d i l i . recently played a single-wicket match against F. M ’Evoy, on the ground o f the Melbourne C.C. The scores were Wardill, 0 and 0 : M ’Evoy, 35. So many big scores have been made this season in India by E. H . D . Sewell, that it is not surprising to find him putting up 225 not out for Victoria v. Residents of Ootacamund (Madras). In the same match he took 5 wickets for 49 runs—not a bad two day’s work. T h e youngest son of Dr. Grace is now at Clifton College. He is 16 years of age, and last season was in the school twenty-two. He can bow l a very good lob, and it will be remembered that he met with some success as a bowler in the match between Dr. Grace’s team and Mr. Long’s team at Trowbridge a week or two ago.
