CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. i 55 Don’t forget grandfather ” — “ Good lord,” exclaimed Giffen. ‘ ‘ To think I ’ve been bowling for a good hour against a grandfather, and could not get him out.” “ Yes,” replied Snazelle, “ a grandfather of a boy ten years old. But let’s finish the inscription------ “ Don’t forget grandfather, And play cricket. W ith reference to a paragraph last week in “ Gossip ” as to the names of cricketers who have appeared in Vanity Fair (whether as cricketers proper or under other headings), Mr. A . L. Ford has very kindly sent the follow ing com ­ plete list with dates. 1877—W. G. Grace. 1878—Gen. J. Marshall. 1878—Hon. S. C. B. Ponsonby Fane. 1878—F. R. Spofforth. lfrBl—Lord Harris. 1884—(i. J.

T h e death is announced of Sir Courtenay Boyle, Permanent Secretary of the Board of Trade. Sir Courtenay was in the Oxford X I . from 1865 to 1867, after doing well at Charterhouse. In the ’Varsity match, like so many other cricketers, he did not distinguish himself, his scores being 1 and 0, 7 and 8, and 4 and 16. In 1865 he made 55 for Oxford against Surrey, and in 1867, 53 and 50 in the same match. H e was a good wicket­ keeper and point. Since his death the Times has announced that he was the author of the articles, b y “ An Old Blue,” on cricket reform which attracted so much attention, and not a little adverse criticism in its columns. Two additional matches have beenmade for the South Africans, namely, East of Scotland, at Edinburgh, on August 5, 6, and 7, and the West of Scotland, at Glas­ gow, on August, 8, 9 and 10. S till another batsman who has scored two separate innings of a hundred in a first-class match ! This is Mr. H . B. Chinnery who for M.C.C. v. Oxford, at Oxford, made 105 and 165. H e has played for Surrey, but never with much success. T he follow ing are some o f the latest hundreds :— APRIL. Brisbane v. Rockhampton ... o. W. T. Evans, Brisbane v.

Played at Huddersfield on May 20 and 21* Yorkshire won by an innings and 282 runs. It was not to be expected for a moment that Derbyshire, on the present form of the team, could make Yorkshire pause in its victorious career, but on the other hand no one dreamed that they would be so overwhelmingly outplayed. Winning the toss, only two men—the oldest members of the team—could make anything of Hirst and Brown, and the total of the innings was most disappointing. Yorkshire naturally had the game at their mercy, and as nearly all the team made runs as usual they were able to declare with eight wickets down. Derbyshire, in their second innings, again failed completely. Now that they have played two of their mosi trying matches they may perhapa give a much letter account of themselves. D e r b y sh ir e .

Always a popular team, Gloucestershire on Monday attracted the largest crowd which has attended the Oval this year. The cricket was interesting enough to satisfy the severest critic. Perhaps the must noticeable point about it waa not so much the batting ot Mr. Jesaop, brilliant as it was, as the way in which the Gloucestershire batsmen were tied up by Mr. Jephson’s lobs. It was an object lesson in modern cricket. The men who went in first all played a good game, but as soon as Mr. Jephson went on there was hesitation, and even Mr. Jessop, wonderful to relate, was undecided at times whether he should hit him out of the ground or only to the boundary, with the result that he ended by merely making himself safe. Seven wickets for 51 runs was a line analysis for a lob bowler. The Surrey innings began in a startling manner, for Mr. Lane, a bowler with great variety of pace who comes to tirst-class cricketwith a good local reputation, got rid of Brockwell, Hayes and Lock­ wood in a few minutes, three wickets being down for 21. It was almost atossup whether Haywardwas not stumped off him soon afterwards, but from this moment there was no further uneasiness for the welfare of Surrey, Abel and Hayward playing the bowling in a masterly manner. It must have been with a feeling of considerable satisfaction that the bowlers realised that they would have another chance of getting them on the next morning, when they were fresh ; for the time being there did not seem the remotest chance of separating them. When stumps were drawnAbel waa not out 76and Hayward not out 53, both innings being made in a most leisurely fashion. The danger mat one or both of them might be got rid of on Tuesday morning before there was time to settle down was safely paused, and they began to score more quickly. Wnen the hope of getting rid of them seemed least, Abel was caught for 111 , made in ihree hours and a^uaiter; in partner­ ship with Haywari he had put on 206. Although Hayward went on as steadily and methodically as ever, the innings came to a conclusion much sooner than would have been anticipated by either side. Hayward’s 181 was put together in five hours. With a balance against them of 180 runs Gloucestershire began exceedingly well, and Mr. Sewell and Wrathall, by delightful batting, put on 117 runs in an hour, and then Hale and Wrathall took the score to 174, and the balance was knocked off for the loss of only two wickets. Then a startling change came over the game, owing to Richardson’s bowling, and when stumps were drawn seven wickets were down for 219, only 39 runs on after all The tail, or rather Mr. Kitcat and Paish, improved the position a little, but Surrey had an easy task, and made the runs without the loss of a wicket. Abel played a most attractive game, and it will be noticed that he scored nearly twice as fast as Brockwell. G lou cestersh ire . First innings. C. O. H.
