I n a match between Portland (Oregon, U.S) and a combined team of Tacoma and Seattle, Mr. C. W. Lawrence took all ten wickets in the second innings of the' latter, his analysis being 10 overs 3 maidens 14 runs and 10 wickets. Mr. J 1 S. Carrick, who scoied 419 not out in 1885 for West of Scotland at Priory Park, Chichester, was on the side of Tacoma- Seattle. ------ B y scoring 105 for Sussex against Surrey Mr. C. B. Fry brought his total of hundreds for the season to eleven. Tyldesley has scored nine hundreds, and Ranjitsinhji, F. Mitchell, Abel, W. G. Quaife, and Carpenter six each. T h e totals of the three men who have made the most runs this season were as follows on Saturday n ight: Abel, 2862 ; Mr. Fry, 2797 ; Tyldesley, 2771; Hay­ ward, 2333. In the matches this week these were increased as follows: Mr. Fry, 2903 ; Abel, 2945 ; Hayward, 2379; Tyldesley, 2781. I t is stated that Wainwright, the well-known Yorkshire professional, has announced his intention of retiring from regular first-class cricket next season, in order to give his attention to the business of a hotel which he has taken near Tinsley, in Yorkshire. A c a b le g r a m from Sydney gives the dates for the matches between Mr. MicLaren’s Team and All Australia as follows: The first at Sydney, commencing on December 13; the second at Mel­ bourne, on January 1; the third at Adelaide, on January 16; the fourth at Sydney, on February 14; and the fifth at Melbourne, on February 22. T he Hindoo cricketer, Jayaram, was in great form both with bat and ball in a match played at Bangalore, between the town club and Secunderabad. He made 85 and 36 not out for Bangalore, besides taking six wickets in the first innings for 69, and seven in the second for 39. Thus he had a large share in the victory of his side by eight wickets. T he M.C.C. have decided to give a benefit match next season to George Hay, the old Derbyshire professional, who, since the death of Tom Hearne, has been at the head of the ground staff at Lord’s. M r. M ac L aren ’ s team is now com­ plete with the exception of one man. It is stated that the team will consist of thirteen members only, which is usually regarded as a great mistake in a touring team. Mr. Robson, the Hampshire cricketer, has, it is announced, promised to go as reserve wicket-keeper. The team is therefore at present as follows: Mr. A. C. MacLaren, Mr. G. L. Jessop, Mr. A. O. Jones, Mr. H. G. Garnett, Mr. C. Robson, W. G. Quaife, Lilley, Hayward, Tyldesley, Blythe, Biaund, and J. Gunn. To call this a representative teamwould, of course, be absurd, and nobody has offered to do so, for who can possibly doubt that, if a team had at this moment to be chosen to play Australia in England, the names of Ranjitsinhji, Mr. Fry, Mr. Palairet, Mr. Mason, Rhodes, and Hirst would appear in it ? A c o r r e s p o n d e n t asks what would be the odds on team B, as follows, against (earn A, either on good or bad wickets :— A. B. A. O. Jones. C. B. Fry. H. G. Garnett. L. C. H. Palairet. Tyldesley. K. S. Ranjitsinhji. W . G. Quaife. Kinneir. A. C. MacLaren. F. Mitchell. Hayward. J. R. Mason. G. L. Jessop. Hirbt. Lilley. Storer. Braund. P. F. Warner. J . Gunn. Rhodes. Blythe. Tate. Y e t another innings of over a hundred has been played in India this season by Mr. A. P. Douglas. Fcr the Poona Gymkhana, in partnership with Mr. Sale, he put up 160 for the first wicket in a regimental match on August 8th. U p to Saturday fifteen men had taken a hundred wickets during the season, while Mr. Mason stood at 96, Paish at 99, J. T. Hearne at 90, J. Gunn at 91, and Vine at 99. Of these Vine accomplished the feat this week. F o u r men have now taken a hundred wickets and scored a thousand runs this season, viz., Hirst, Braund, Llewellyn (who brought his total of runs to 1,016
