The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— ___________ Hamlet. B y making his fine score of 247 for the Players against the Gentlemen, Abel has beaten all records for these matches. The previous record was 217 by Dr. W. G. Grace as long ago as 1871 at Brighton. Thus the Doctor has held the record for thirty years. Dr. Grace also made 215 at the Oval in 1870, and until Abel accomplished the feat he was the only man who had ever made over 200 in the series of matches. A b e l has now made five scores of over a hundred in Gentlemen v. Players, viz : 117 at Hastings in 1892, 168 not out at the Oval in 1894, 19 5 at the Oval in 1899, and 153 not out at the Oval last year. He is now in his forty-second year. S e v e r a l famous cricketing families were represented in the Eton and Harrow match. Mr. F. W. Marsham is a brother of the Oxford cricketer and a son of the Rev. O. D. B. Marsham. The Hon. G. W. Lyttelton is a son ofYiscount Cobham, better known to cricketers as the Hon. C. G. Lyttelton. Mr. G. Maclaren is a brother of the Lancashire captain, and Mr. R. S. M. Baily a son of the Cambridge cricketer,Mr. E, P. Baily, who played against Oxford in 1872 and 1874. Mr. R. Hoare is the son of Sir Samuel Hoare, who was well- known in the time of the Walkers, and Mr. Buxton is a member of the famous Essex family. O n the first day of the match between Lancashire and Somersetshire at Old Trafford, Mold was no-balled eighteen times by Phillips for throwing. It is a little startling to read in several news­ papers that this proves, beyond a doubt, that Mold throws. It does nothing of the kind. It only proves that Phillips sees Mold with other eyes than the rest of the umpires. One of these days an umpire may arise who will discover that he ought to make an example of Mr. Jephson, but this will not exactly prove that a lob-bowler is a “ chucker.” We understand that the compiler of the Supplement of the Melbourne Weekly Times, which gave all the scores of fifty and over ever made in the big matches in Australia, was Mr. R. H. Campbell. Part of the Supplement appeared in our last week’s issue. F r o m the East Anglian Daily T im es :— T w o incidents occurred in a local m atch, w hich tend to show how elem entary is the know ledge of cricket on the part of some players, and more especially some um pires in the L eague. T h e first was w hen one of the visitin g batsm en, in p layin g a b all, let his hat fall on his w icket— the ball still rolling tow ards the fieldsmen— and upon th e um pire being appealed to, and givin g the batsm an out (hit w icket), the decision was prom ptly disputed b y the v isitin g captain, w ho thought the batsm an was not out. T h e second in ci­ dent w as still more rem arkable. A fieldsm an, who was standing some three or fou r yards over th e boundary, caught the ball from a lo fty h it— still over the boundary— and the batsm an was given out “ cau gh t.” Surely this is too ludicrous fo r even a Junior League Com bination. T h e home captain ventured to suggest th at the batsm an could n ot be out under the circum stances, and was told that he m ust abide b y the um pire’s decision— and such a decision in the tw entieth century ! Q uotations given from recent first-class cricket w ere of no avail, and the batsm an came out. Th e results of the Yorkshire County season are at present as follows Gloucestershire,—Yorkshire won by ten wickets (finished in two days). Somerset.—Yorkshire won by one wicket. Worcestershire.—Yorkshire won by 90 runs. Derbyshire.—Yorkshire won by an innings and 282 runs (finished in two days). Lancashire—Yorkshire won by nine wickets (finished in two days). Leicestershire.—Yorkshire won by an innings and 128 runs (finished in two days). Hampshire.—Yorkshire won by an innings and 82 runs (finished in two days). Middlesex.—Yorkshire won by 7 wickets. Surrey.—Drawn in favour of Surrey. Warwickshire.—Drawn. Yorkshire, 401 for 5 wickets (declared); Warwickshire, 320. Essex.—Yorkshire won by an innings and 60 runs (finished in 2 days). Notts.—Yorkshire won by an innings and 18 runs (finished in two days). Kent.—Yorkshire won by 212 runs. Derbyshire (return),—Yorkshire won by 245 runs. Sussex.—Yorkshire won by 10 wickets, Leicestershire (return).—Yorkshire won by an innings and 247 runs. Worcestershire (return).—Yorkshire won by an innings and 212 runs. Somerset (return).—Somerset won by 279 runs. I t will be seen fro n the above table that Yorkshire have played 18 matches, of which all have been won except three. The only matches which have not gone in their favour are those against Surrey and Somerset (return), though they were pretty lucky in winning the first Somerset match. But the majority of their matches have been won by very large margins, seven of them by an innings and many runs. ------- F.
