THURSDAY, MAY 31 st , 1900. $ a \ n i t o n The abntraet and brief chronicle of the tim e.— Ramie'. W e should question whether Mr. C. I. Thornton in his very best days ever suc­ ceeded in equalling Storer’s record in the Derbyshire match against the M.C.C in the matter of fives and sixes and sevens. In his total of 175 not out Storer, aided by the net, made two 7’s, five 6’s, and 6ve 5’s. C'est magnifique, man ce n'est pas la guerre. A c o in c id e n c e .— In the above match Storer and Mr. A.
