THURSDAY, MAY 22 nd , 1902. ^ a t J t i t o n The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. I n the Australian tour of 1899 Victor Trumper took but one wicket for 29 runs, but this year he has found bimself on the slow wickets to be one of the most effective bowlers on the side in the absence of Trumble. He is faster than he was, although not as fast as Jones, who, up to the Leicestershire match, has not got himself into form. A n invitation to dinner on May 30th from the M.C.C. has been accepted by the Australian team. This is the first day of the match against the M.C.O. U p to the end of last week eleven first- class county matches had been played, not one of which had been finished. The weather is responsible for this unsitis- factory state of affairs. The weather statisticians have been searching the records, and their verdict seems to be that the present spring is almost a counterpart of that of 1860, which was followed by one of the most miserable summers imaginable; which is cheerful news. Other bad seasons which were somewhat similar to 1902 were those of 1879 and 1888. A lt h o u g h the loss of the services of Hugh Trumble has been a severe blow to the Australians, they have done exceed­ ingly well so far. To a certain extent the accident to Trumble’s thumb has proved a blessing, even if it has been a little in disguise, for the probabilities are great that if he had been able to bowl in the earlier matches Armstrong and Trumper would never have had the chance of showing that their bowling considerably adds to the strength of the team.
