The atstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. U p to Wednesday evening W . G. Quaife had made 471 runs by successive not out innings, his scores being 60 not ou 1', 157 not out and 24 not out, 62 and 61 not out. A very close parallel:— Gloucestershire, 379 and 11 for no wicket. Middlesex, 352. Total, 742. Sussex, 363 and 12 for two wickets. Somerset, 369. Total, 744. On Saturday there was no play in either match. F o r the loss of o iily fifteen wickets, 1,130 runs were made in the two-day m atch between the Stygians and Norton P ark. There were four individual hun­ dreds in the match, three of them in the innings of the Park, of which the score is appended:— N o r t o n P a r k .

T otal.......... hit 41 25 31 L a s t week Alec Hearne was presented with a purse containing 400 shillings, contributed by members of the East Kent and Canterbury Conservative Club. The presentation was made by Mr. Heniker Heaton, M .P., who, in his speech, said that the fame of Alec at 1he present time “ probably stood greater in Canterbury than that of one of their chief political leaders.” Which is possibly hot such a great compliment to the cricketer as it was meant to be. A MATCH was arranged to take place between New Y ork and Philadelphia at the end of July. The New Y ork team was selected. When the replies from the men who had been chosen were received, it was found that no less than nine of them declined the honour. Under these circumstances the New York Committee were constrained to scratch the match. M b . J. W a g s t a f f B l u n d e l l writes :— “ In the seven county matches played on the first three days of last week, no less than fourteen men made hundreds, totalling 1,810, between them. Seven of these go to the gentlemen, and seven to the pros. Two gentlemen were not out, and also two pros. Two gentlemen made 134 each. I should think that fourteen hundreds is quite unprecedented. There was only one match in which a hundred was not scored— Sussex V. Gloucestershire. F o b the sake of variety I give the names of the players who represented the Hindoo gymkhana as Bombay in a recent match. They are W . L . Masuxkar, K . Y . Agatkar, L . S. Bhandari, C. Y . Mehta, N. B. Dadankar, R . S. Shir- gamkar, G. V. Kirtigar, N. G. Jaykar, L. B. I ’atkar, N . E. Khote and G. Purshotum. T h e Notts team has now drawn thirteen matches out of 15, thus putting completely in the Bhade the results of last year, when at the end of the season only nine were drawn out of 16. Warwickshire, it will be remembered, headed the list last year, as far as drawn games are concerned, with 11 out of 18. A w e l l - k n o w n Yorkshireeveningpaper recently set a trap for a contemporary after the manner of that introduced by a New York daily. It had been suspected by the editor that some of his latest
