M ay 9 , 1901. ORIOKET s A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 117 1844. v. Kent, at Canterbury, June 27th, 28th and 29th. Twenty-three runs were required to win when the ninth wicket fell in the second innings of Sussex, and these runs Bushby, E. (54 not out) and Lillywhite, W. (7 not out) obtained. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, July 22nd and 23rd. Five of the M.C.C. were run out in the match. Owing to a disagreement, Lillywhite (W.) is now found playing against his county, for which he only played once more, viz. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, in 1848, on which occasion the M.C.C. chose both teams. (He was, however, selected to play against England, at Lord’s, in 1853, but had to retire from the game after delivering 44 balls for 22 runs.) 1845. v. Kent, at Brighton, July 3rd, 4th and 5th. The score of 22 mads by Box (T.), in the second innings of Sussex, consisted entirely of singles. 1846. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, June 29th and 30th. In the M.C.C. sore-books Lilly- white (W.) is reported to have delivered a wide in the second innings of Sussex, which it is believed is a mistake. 1847. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, June 7th, 8th and 9th. This was the last appearance of Sopp (E.) in the Sussex Eleven, for the follow­ ing reason :—In the first innings of Sussex, “ when playing against Clarke’s bowling, he went in at a ball, and, missing it, was stumped out. In consequence, a then influential mem­ ber of the Sussex Eleven declared he should not be played again for his county ; a hard and unjust determination certainly, but which thq party alluded to had power to carry into effect; and Sopp was then but twenty-three years of age.” Picknell (G.), v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, and. v. Kent, at Brighton (June 24th, 25th and 26th), played four completed innings each of which amounted to three. 1848. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, June 26th and 27th. This was the first match in which the Printing Piess, which issued a “ correct card” of the game, was used by Frederick Lillywhite. v. Kent, at Brighton, August 10th, 11th and 12th. All ten wickets were clean bowled in the first innings of Kent. 1849. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, June 25th and 26th. In the first innings of M.C.C. and Ground A. Haygarth batted three hours and a quarter for thirty-five runs. v. Surrey, at Petworth, July 19th and 20th. Four players were run out in the second innings of Surrey. 1850. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Brighton, August 19th, 20th and 21st. In the Marylebone innings Lillywhite (W .), the last man in, was run out by the bowler, E. Napper, for backing up too far. 1851. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Brighton, August 18th and 19th. In bowling Dakin (S.) in the first innings of the M.C.C., Wisden (J.) sent one of the bails nearly fifty yards. 1852. v. Surrey, at the Oval, July 15th, lGth and 17th. In the first innings of Surrey A. Mar­ shall took over three hours to score 23. 1853. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, June 20th, 21st and 22nd. In the second innings of the M.C.C. the last six wickets fell for four runs. v. England, at Lord’s, July 25th, 26th and 27th. Lillywhite (W.), sixty-one years of age, commenced the bowling for Sussex, but, after delivering 44 balls for 22 runs and 0 wickets, had to retire from the game, being taken ill, and his place was filled by H. N. Hoare, captain of the Eton X I. Lillywhite (W.) and two of his sons, John and James, sen., played for Sussex. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Horsham, August 11th, 12th and 13th. In the second innings of Sussex the first wicket fell at 59, the second at 85, and the tenth at 100. 1854. v. Surrey, at Brighton, September 28th and 29th. This, the “ return” match, was, like the first between the two sides, played in Brighton, owing to a dispute between the Surrey County Cricket Club and W . Hough­ ton, the proprietor of the Oval. 1855. v. Surrey, at Brighton, June 25th and 26th. On the first day, owing to mis- managemnt, play did not commence until 12.30, instead of 11 o’clock, as arranged. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Horsham, August 6th and 7th. Every batsman in the first innings of the M.C.C. was caught out. v. Yorkshire, at Sheffield, August 27th, 28th and 29th. This was the first great match everplayed on theBramallLane Ground. 1850. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, June 2nd. In the second innings of Sussex (23) the first five wickets fell for six runs. 1857. In each of the first two matches played this season—v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s (June 15th and 16th), and v. Surrey, at Brighton, (June 25th and 26th)—Sussex scored 227 runs for the loss of 20 wickets. A curious coincidence. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, June 15th and 16th. In the second innings of the M.C.C. A. Haygarth, whilst in, scored 25 out of 26 from the bat: a curious feat, as he was prob­ ably the slowest scorer seen in great matches during the nineteenth century. 1860. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, June 4th and 5th. Wells (G.) was the only playor to score double figures in either of the Sussex innings. He carried his bat through the first innings, scoring 55 out of 73 (70 from the bat) and made 11 in the second out of 39 (38 from the bat). v. Surrey, at Brighton, July 17th and 18th. In the first innings of Sussex, Wells (G.), in playing a ball from Caffyn, broke the handle of his bat, and the pod, flying over his shoulder, dislodged the bails, the handle re­ maining in the batsman’s hands. His name appears in the score-sheet thus : “ G. Wells, hit w., b Caffyn, 10.” During his long career Wells was dismissed “ hit wicket ” on three occasions only, but each time in a curious manner. (See also v. Nottinghamshire, at Brighton, 1865, and v. Kent, at Gravesend, 1866.) v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lewes, August 9th and 10th. Seven players on the side of the M.C.C. were run out, three in the first innings and four in the second. 1861. v. Kent, at Brighton, June 24th, 25th and 26th. In the second innings of Sussex, Sherwin (W. L.) was in 35 minutes for the one run his innings realised. 1862. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Lord’s, June 16th and 17th. There was no change of bowling on either side in this match. Sussex scored 64 and 36 for 6 wickets, and the M.C.C. 46 and 52. Stubberfield, H. (5 for 17 and 1 for 23) and Lillywhite, Jas., jun. (5 for 28 and 9 for 29) bowled for Sussex ; Wootton, G. (8 for 31 and 6 for 15) and Grundy, J. (1 for 28 and 0 for 17) for M.C.C. 1863. v. Kent, at Brighton, June 25th, 26th and 27th. The ball which bowled Goodhew (W.), in the second innings of Kent, stuck fast in the centre of the wicket, about six inches from the ground. The ball was delivered by Lillywhite (Jas., jun.). v. Surrey, at Brighton, July 13th, 14th and loth. Ellis (C. H.) had no less than 201 runs scored from his deliveries in the second innings of Surrey. v. M.C.C. and Ground, at Brighton, August 17th, 18th, and 19th. This match had not been played since 1864, Sussex refusing to appear at Lord’s owing to the roughness of that ground and also that the M.C.C. always sent down a “ tail ” with their Eleven for the return match at Brighton. In the present match, Wootton, G. (60), and R. S. Forster (40 not out) added 106 runs for the last wicket. 1864. v. Middlesex, at Islington, June 6th and and 7th. This was the first county match ever played on the Middlesex ground at Islington, adjoining the Cattle Market. On the first day, Stubberfield (H.) played for Sussex until the luncheon interval, when he had to retire, owing to illness, and his place was taken by G. F. Browne. During the match Mr. Browne also had to retire for a time, and his place in the field was taken by Wells (G.), who dismissed one of the Middle­ sex batsmen. v. Hampshire, at Southampton, July 7th and 8th. Sussex had to go in in their second innings to get one run to win ; an event of the rarest occurrence in great matches. v. Surrey, at Brighton, July 18th, 19th and 20th. Whilst batting for Surrey, Street (J.) had a bail knocked out of the groove but it did not fall to the ground. [To be continued .) KENSINGTON PARK v.
