THURSDAY , M A Y 30 th , 1901. $atotiton Gossip, The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. I n the match at Beckenham at the end of last week Mr. Burnup and Humphreys made a hundred for the first wicket in both innings for Kent— 108 in the first innings and 100 in the second. The feat had been already accomplished this year by Dr. Grace and Mr. C. J. B. W ood at the Crystal Palace for London County v. Surrey. There have been a few other instances in first class cricket in previous years. ------- A t the beginning of last week Mr. H . B. Chinnery placed his name in the rapidly increasing list of men who have made two separate hundreds in a first class match. A t the end of the week the feat was performed by Mr. McGahey for Essex v. Gloucestershire, his scores being 114 and 145 n ot out, and now Robert Carpenter has made 127 and 104 for Essex v. Kent. We wonder how many more batsmen w ill accomplish the feat before the end of the season. I t was a vaBt compliment to the Gloucestershire eleven that Mr. Owen did not dare to close the Essex innings on Saturday until there was very little prospect of w inning the match. With men like Mr. Jessop, Mr. Sewell, Board and Wrathall in a team, you can never guess what may happen, and Mr. Owen was doubtless a wise man not to give his opponents a ghost of a chance of knock­ ing off the runs. D uring the above match 1,344 runs were made for the loss of 28 wickets, an average of exactly 48 runs per wicket. This is within measurable distance of the highest aggregate made in first class cricket in England, viz., 1,410 in Sussex v. Oxford at Brighton in 1895. In Australia the record is 1,739 in New South Wales v. Mr. Stoddart’s team, 1898, but of course this match lasted for several days. ------- O n another page will be found an “ Appreciation ” o f Robert Thoms, the famous umpire, b y a well-known member of the Incogniti C.C., who has known him for many years. D r . W . G. G race turned out on Satur­ day at the Palace for the Worcester Park Beagles against bis own team, and scored 114, an innings which included twenty fours.
