I WEEKLY RECORD OF TBS GAME. 168, UPPER THAMES STREET, IO ID O I, E.C, THURSDAY, JUNE 5 t h , 1902. $a\ulton Gossip. The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet. Mr. C h a r l e s A b so l o n (known far and wide as “ Old Charlie ” ) was 85 years old on Friday last, May 30th. He is still bale and hearty, and still gets about a good deal; he went to Lord’s twice last week to see M.C.C. v. the Australians. A b r o n z e statue is to be erected to the memory of Prince Christian Victor, of the King’s Royal Rifles, who died in South Africa. It will be placed at the foot of Thames Street Hill, Windsor, in a recess by the Dean’s Yard. The work was originally entrusted to the late Mr. Onslow Ford, R.A., who died within a few days of the commission being accepted by him. It will now be under­ taken by Mr. Goscombe John, A.R.A., and is to be executed within the next twelve months. S o m e unpleasantness has arisen about the playing off of a final tie in the Pennant Matches at Melbourne. Carlton and East Melbourne had tied on points, and the Pennant Committee decided that the teams should meet to decide the premiership on April 19, 21 and 26. The Carlton Club passed the following resolution:— That aa the Carlton Cricket Club cannot get together anything like a representative team, the hon. eecretary he instructed to inform the secretary of the Y.C.A. that the club regrets its inability under the circum­ stances to proceed with the proposed final match. But the Pennant Committee decided that the match must be played, otherwise East Melbourne would be awarded the premiership. The result is told in the Sydney Referee by Worrall, who, being a member of the Carlton C.C., feels virtuously indignant. “ On Saturday East turned up,” he says, “ donned their cricket attire, went into the field, looked at the h o r iz o n in the north to see whether any clouds of dust denoted the hurried and breathless arrival of the belated Carltonians, had a whispered conversation with the umpires, the premiership was theirs, and up wfflit the rag—I mean, the Pennant.” So frequent were the bowling changes made by Darling on the first day of the test match at Edgbaston, that the following detailed list may be of interest. It will be noticed that when the score was in the immediate neighbourhood of a hundred (just before and after lunch) the changes were very frequent indeed :— Jones and Noble began, Trumper for Jones at 25, Armstrong for Trumper at 34., Howell for Noble at 36, Jones for Armstrong at 43, Noble for Jones at 67, Trumper for Howell
