Cricket 1899

D e c . 21, 1899. CR ICKET : A W EEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 477 quite a field day for Darling. That afternoon he gave Port Adelaide a pretty good taste of his form with a tc:>re of 259 not out in a total of 450 for six wickets. N e w S o u t h W a l e s , in their first inn­ ings against South Australia, scored 806 runs. The record for intercolonial matches is 839 made by New South Wales against Tasmania at Sydney on December 9, 10 and 12, 1898. A REPRESENTATIVE of the very old school of cricketers passed away on the 18th of last month. I refer to the Rev. P. Williams, who played for Notts in the days when Fuller Pilch and Alfred Mynn were giants in the world of cricket. He first made his mark in the Winchester eleven, and confirmed his school promise subsequently at Oxford, being a member of the University elevens from 1844 to 1847 inclusive. He took a great interest in the game till the last, and was, unless I am mistaken, an interested spectator of the last test match at the Oval. V. P. 8. C r a w fo r d , like Alexander, has been sighing for fresh worlds to conquer. Last Saturday fortnight Ken­ sington beat Teddington at Hockey 19 goals to 0, of which number the Surrey cricketer accounted forthe modestnumber of ten. Mention of Y. P. S. Crawford reminds me that on September 22od his sister, Miss Leslie Crawford, made 106 not out for Woodmansterne v. Caterham, at Woodmansterne. On September 16th, too, Y. F. S. himself did a record piece of gentle tapping when making 180 for his own eleven v. Rev. J. C . Crawford’s XI., at Cane Hill. His first hundred runs were obtained in nineteen minutes ! ! Shades of Bonnor, Thorntor, and Jessop ! By the death on Tuesday last at Chillingham Castle, Northumberland, of the Earl of Tankerville, there passed away, in his ninety-first year, a kind and courteous old gentleman. His grand­ father, the fourth Earl of Tankerville— of whom a biography will be found in Scores and Biographies, Vol I., p. 50—was a great patron and admirer of the “ noble game,” and kept several good cricketers in his employ, including Bedster and the famous Lumpy. In “ Surrey Trium­ phant, or the Kentishmen’s Defeat ”— written in 1773 by Rev. J. Duncombe— he wa9 celebrated as “ The active Earl of Tankerville.” He was a good batsman.
