The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— ______ _______________________ Hamlet. T he great strength of the Yorkshire team was never better shown than during the match w ith Worcestershire at Dewsbury. On a wicket which was never very easy, only one man failed to do something useful in one innings or the other—and even he made double figures. In the bowling there were found a couple Of men to take advantage of the wicket, and of course Rhodes was one of them. Worcestershire made anything but a bad fight against Yorkshire, but in batting only two men distinguished themselves, making 250 out of 348 from the bat. If they had had a strong tail like Yorkshire they ought to have won easily. M r. J e s s o p has seldom done anything more brilliant in the way of run-getting than Mr. Hay man in part of his second innings for Mr. Webbe’s team against Oxford University. After he had made 100 Mr. Hayman scored w ith great rapidity, at one time making a 6, a 4, a 6, a 6 and a single off five successive balls, and in the next over four 4 ’s. There is no doubt that the number of batsmen who can play extremely lively cricket in first-class matches is increasing rapidly, for which spectators have cause to be very thankful. I n his first match this season for the E ssex Club and Ground, E. H . D . Sewell took nine wickets for 44, out of a total of 110 against Bishop’s Stortford, and then, going in sixth wicket w ith the score at 220, left at 360, having made 100 in less than fifty minutes. Early in his innings he should have been caught at loi g-off, who had the sun in his eyes, but like a good many other hitters, Sewell dot s not hesitate to take risks when he knows that the sun is in an uncomfortable position for the fieldsmen. D r . R. M ac do n a ld , the Queensland cricketer, was in Sydney at the begin­ ning of April on his way to Eugland.
