THURSDAY, JUNE 1 st , 1899. ^ a t u l u m < & o 3 0 i p . The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— BamUt T h e record of the Australians is now : Matches played, 7; won, 3; lost, 1; drawn, 3. Darling has won the toss three times and lost it four times. I n the course of a speech at Bristol last week, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach said that he was speaking in an atmosphere of cricket, and it occurred to him that, if the Opposition could not win the General Election, the Conservatives ought to play them with their second eleven. That would have an admirable effect. It would relieve old fogies like himself from the cares and responsibility of office, and let in aspiring young spirits, and—perhaps he spoke with some confidence—their second eleven might be found too much for the Opposition. W h a t has become of all the suggestions for handicapping batsmen by increasing the height and width of wickets, by making the l.b.w. rule much more severe, by making the bat smaller, by doing away with boundaries, and by all sorts of curious devices ? I t was beginning to be almost a question whether the Australian tail did not wag the head. Not content with bringing the total from 94 for six wickets at Eastbourne to 222, the tail on Thursday last at Old Trafford gave another brilliant exhibition of batting. Six wickets were down for 65, and the total of the innings was 267. The Sussex tail, apparently determined to show that its Australian equivalent did not hold a monopoly in the way of large scoring, vastly distinguished itself on Friday. It may, perhaps, seemunkind to include the last seven Sussex batsmen in the tail, but they have so often shown their claims to be included in it, that no reasonable objection can be taken to this. A few innings by various members of various tails at the end of last week'— V. Trumper, 82; J. J. Kelly, 36; H. Trumble, 61; W. Howell, 20 not out; Killick, 140; A. Collins, 52 ; Butt, 75; Tate, 59 not out; R. A. Williams, 42; B. J. T. Bosanquet, 27; Hulme, 28; Gill, 60; A. E. Newton, 24 not out.
