THURSDAY , M A Y 16 th , 1901. ^ a t o t i t o n i & o s s t p , The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. S ome of the bowlers had a fine time of it at the end of last week, and as they may possibly not get many such oppor­ tunities of distinguishing themselves, we may append a few of their analyses: — Rhodes...... (2 innings) 7'2 overs, 141 runs, 14 wkts. Hargreave (2 inning*) 53’4 „ 115 „ 14 „ Lockwood... (2 innings) 4H*4 ,, 63 ,, 9 ,, Mead.........(2 innings) 25*1 „ 56 , 8 „ J. T. Hearne (2 innings) 61*4 „ 118 „ 11 „ Barton ..... (2 innings) 34 3 ,, 69 „ 9 „ A n ew pavilion is to be built, at a cost of £2,500, on the cricket ground at Eton known as “ Agar’s Plou gh .” As the governing body have given the site and made a grant of £2,000, only a sum of £500 remains to be found. C a pt a in B e a m o e d and Colonel Spens are the latest members of the Hampshire eleven to be mentioned in despatches. They have been commended b y Lord Kitchener. I n the course of a letter written to the Sportsman, Admiral V . A. Montagu sums up his ideas on the leg before question as fo llow s; they are blunt as becomes a gallant sailor:— The spectator goes to see a game played ; if he is bored he can either lump it or go ; hut as we cannot agree, and I do not think we shall ever agree in this generation as to pros and cons of alteration in the l.b.w. rule, let us consider it wilful obstruction if a batsman deliberately defends his wickets with his body or legs, whilst his bat is taking a bird’s- eye view D evon sh ire ended last season with a balance of £80 on the right side. A new cricket ground, the gift of the late Mr. R. B. West, is about to be made at Exeter. This year Devonshire takes part in the second-class counties’ competition. The team consists chiefly of amateurs, as there are not many professionals in the county.
