Cricket 1902

430 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. S e p t . 18, 1902. The annual dinner of the Incogniti had been set back some two months in order to render it as a welcome to Sir Augustus Hemming, K.C.M.G., on his home­ coming for a brief holiday; but, to the great disappointment of '• Incogs.,” he was unavoidably absent, having been looked for to take the chair. But a really most efficient substitute was secured, and a most delightful evening spent under the chairmanship of that most excellent all-round cricketer and exceptionally brilliant fieldsman, Alfred M. Inglis, who soon proved that he was equally at home in fulfilling the duties as he is in “ scooping up the pieces ” as honorary treasurer to the club, and beiDg well supported by Sir Wm. Russell, J. E. Raven, E. E. Felton and L. E. G. Abney, all went off most merrily and cheerfulness never for a moment flagged. Iu Cricket of July 31st last a descriptive account of this gathering was given by J. E. Raven, wherein he describes how that “ R. T .” was invited as a friend and guest to dine with the “ Incogs.,” the occasion being taken to recognise bis long services—as umpire for forty years— with a “ Testimonial” as a mark of their esteem; the said “ memento ” taking the form of a silver snuff box, with a substantial cheque enclosed therein. “ I, Robert Thoms, for years— from time to time—having been a contributor to Cricket, the organ of our national game, wish through this medium to record this event, and to express my grateful and heartfelt thanks to the Incogniti Club, not only for this marked recognition, but also for the many kindnesses I have received from its members, and my sincere hope will be that the old club may be found flourishing in this century as it has in the past, and that all ‘ Incogs.’ of the present and future may be blessed with ‘ Happiness and Prosperity.’ ” G iv e b .

The sale of cricket bats, promoted by the Daily Express, on behalf of the Cricketers’ Fund and Friendly Society closed on Monday with results which were quite surprising. For at the last moment the bids for some of the bats rose enormously until £50 was offered for Dr. Grace’ s bat and £42 for Victor I'rumper’s. G iv e r . B o y h r . P r ic e . W. G. GRACE .........

The weather in this match was v*>ry bad, and the wicket was in such a condition that it was very diffi­ cult to make runs. The Parsis had a considerable advantage in winning the toss, and also had a little the best of the game. For the Presidency, Captain Greig played a v*ry fine first innings, and was the only man on the side who could make any prolonged resistance to Mistri’s bowling. In the second innings Captain Deas made a brilliant effort to save the game. In the whole match Mistri took thirteen wickets for 72 runs. P absis . First innings. Second innings. K. M.
