A VETERAN CRICKETER. (From the Daily Telegraph.) All lovers of the national game will be interested in the statistics given below of the career of that illustrious veteran of the cricket field, Mr. E. M. Grace. Born on November 28, 1841, the eldest of the three famous brothers began to play in matches before he was ten years of age, and still played for Thombury during the season which has so recently come to an end. His career thus extends over a period of forty-nine years. The figures given of wickets taken and runs scored apply to all matches in which Mr. Grace has taken part, without any distinction between first-class and mere club fixtures. It will be noticedas an extraordinary fact that Mr. Grace scored over 3,000 runs in the season of 1863, and repeated the feat exactlytwenty years afterwards. Thirty- one times in his life he has taken all the wickets in an innings, doing this on eight occasions after having carried his bat through the previous innings. Mr. Grace played his first match at Lord’s in 1861, and nineteen years later was amember of the England Eleven at the Oval in the first England and Australia match ever played in this country. Except his bro­ ther, “ W.G.,” the cricket field inour time has certainly known no more remarkable personality. The figures below showhow many runs Mr. Gracehas scored in forty- nine seasons, and how many wickets he has taken; but it is necessary to add that he was by universal consent the best field at point who has ever appeared:— Year.
