THURSDAY, AUGUST 22 nd , 1901. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. Q uite a curiosity in its way is the Kent score against Somerset as it appears in print from the third batsman’s name to the seventh. Mr. Daniell caught five men, and, as it happens, his name appears in the score five times in succession, although his catches were not made in the order in which they appear. The extract from the score as it appears in print is as follows: 8. H. Day, c Daniell, b Cranfield ... 46 Hearne (A.), c Daniell, b Braund ...103 J. B. Mason, c Daniell, b Cranfieid .. 145 R. N. R. Blaker, c Daniell, b Braund... 7 P. C. Baker, c Daniell, b Braund ... 0 I n each of the six first-class matches played at the end of last week, the wicket on the first day had been affected in some way or the other by heavy rain on the previous evening, but the scores made on the day by the sides which took first innings were very widely different. Thus Essex made 30, Middlesex 167, Sussex 159, Derbyshire 133 for six wickets, South Africans 234, Lancashire 364 for seven wickets, and Kent 435 for four wickets. T here were some altogether remark­ able bowling analyses in these matches. Thus Hirst in the Essex first innings bowled eight overs and one ball for twelve runs and seven wickets, and in the second innings ten overs for seventeen runs and six wickets ; Mr. Sinclair in the Glouces­ tershire first innings, nine overs for twenty runs and seven wickets; Mr. Mason in the Somerset second innings, thirteen overs for twenty-nine runs and eight wickets. R eferring to a catch made by Mr. J. Mason for Philadelphia v. Belmont, Cricket Club Life says :— Jack Mason’s catch in the slips off Coates’ bat at Elmwood was the most brilliant of the season. The ball was wet and it was travel­ ling very fast in an upward direction, but Mason jumped and pulled down the sphere from apparently unattainable heights with one hand. It certainly was a “ circus” catch. A t the beginning of a match"between Baltimore and Belmont at Elmwood (Philadelphia), Mr. John Glenn, the cap­ tain of the former club (which was on tour) met with a most uncommon acci­ dent. The ball had been hit to the boundary, and the batsmen, of whom Mr. Glenn was one, took no further notice of it until one of the fielding side called out “ heads.” Mr. Glenn turned round and received the ball squarely on his nose. The accident was very serious indeed, but, fortunately, several doctors were on the ground and the wound was skilfully dressed. Mr. Glenn pluckily continued his innings, but no one will be surprised to hear that he was soon out, nor that he could not take part in any other of the matches played by Baltimore during the tour. T he modern craze for getting some celebrated individual to edit a newspaper for a day or a week has inspired the pro­ prietor of a boys’ “ story paper ” to induce Ranjitsinhji to undertake the duties of editor for a double summer number. J o h n G u n n has promised Mr. Mac- Laren to accompany him to Australia, so that the team at present comprises the following men, although one or two of them would not seem to be “ certainties ” : A. C. MacLaren, G . L. Jessop, A. O. Jones, H. Garnett, Hayward, W. G. Quaife, Lilley, J. T. Tyldesley, Blythe, Braund and J . Gunn. F rom Cricket Club Life (Philadelphia): All the talk about a Philadelphia team going to England in 1902 is premature, but it is quite on the cards that the Quaker City will send the strongest American team that ever left these shores to give battle to England at her national game next year. B y their victory over Essex Yorkshire have made their position secure at the head of the Championship Table. What­ ever happens to the team in the remaining matches the county must be the Champion County for 1901-2. The record is 19 won out of 26 played, one lost and six drawn,
