GEM<RAL SIR lREDKBJCrC MARSHALL. “ The General,” as he was popularly called at the Oval, “ Fred .Marshall,” as he was best known to his friends, whose name was legion, has gone. It is difficult to realise that the commanding personality familiar to habitues of the Surrey ground for over forty j ears will be seen no more. The Maishalls have played a very important part in the development of Surrey cricket. The Geneial” succeeded his uncle Henry Mar­ shall as president of the county club. The uncle whose portrait adorns the walls of the club-room in tiin Pavilion at the Oval, held the presidency from 1856 to 1866. “ The General” occupied the position from that time to 1878, whtn he retired for reasons of high policy, to be succeeded by Viscount Oxenbridge, then Lord Monson. On the death of the Earl of Bet-sborough, who had been vice-president of the club from its formation, General Marshall was elected to the vice-presidency, a position he held until the time of his death. 'I his briefly represents his official connection with the Surrey County C.C. It in no way represents the good work he did for {Surrey cricket. Born in Surrey, and descended from a good old Surrey stock, his heart was in the county and everything connected with it. A player of no mean order him>elf, he very toon identified himself actively with its cricket. Fred Lillywhite’s Guide of 1858 gives his name as one of the committee of the Surrey Club in 1857. This will show that his official connection with the club extended well over forty years. Military cricket, while he was in the army, found in him a keen supporter, and there were few better- known figures on the cricket field than that of Fred Marshall. In 1858 he became President of the United All England Eleven, which, for a time, with the All England Eleven, had a monopo y of the professional touring interests. For some years the United played Sixteen of Southgate on the late Mr. John Walkei’s excellent ground at Arnos Grove. After the match there in 1860, Fred Marshall invited the All England Eleven to a dinner at the London Tavern in Bishopsgate Street. The London Tavern, then a cele­ brated place for functions of the sort, was pulled down some thirty years ago, giving place to ihe handsome pile of buildings on which the Bank of cotland now stands. Just at this time Fred Marshall was in the zenith of his cricket career. A year before, in 1859, he had played for the Gentlemen of England in the Canterbury week, and in him the I. Z. had one of their best and hardest hitters. A valued correspondent writes:— “ Well do I remember seeing him bat in practice at Lord’s at the end of the fifties. Jn place of a bowler he used to have a catapult, a machine which had a short existence as a substitute for a ground bowler. The Mar­ shalls’ ground at Broadwater wa 3 a favourite resort for Surrey cricketers, and many hos­ pitable functions took place at Godalming, promoted by Henry Marshall (his uncle) and Alexander Marshall (his father). Throughout his career the General was not only a liberal but a true friend of Surrey cricketers. Only a few know the extent of his benefactions to Surrey players. His liberality was without ostentation, and a large number of his kindly acts were known only to himself and to the recipients. Generous to a degree, no really exceptional performance in Surrey cricket but received some direct as well as substantial recognition at his hands. He was a great power for good in Surrey cricket, and it is no exaggei ation to say that his death will leave a blank which cannot be filled. How much hn was respected by Sur­ rey cricketers of the older generation can be gauged from the fact of William Caffyn’s dedication of his book, “ Seventy-one l^ot Out,” to him. The executive of the County Cricket Club will miss him greatly. His practical common sense, and above all his in­ tense abhorrence of anything which savoured even of a suspicion of sharp practice in cricket gave him an amount of influence which made for the good of cricket everywhere. A soldier without fear, he was without reproach as a sportsman, making always for the highest ideals of sport. His name will always remain in the affectionate remembrance of Surrey cricketers. We have only written cf him here as a cricketer. His record as a soldier is outside the scope of a cricket paper. That must be left to other pens. STKEATHAM v.
