Charlton Park LONDON COUNTY C.C. Prom its inception the London County C.C., thanks to the influence and energy of Dr. W. G. Grace, took its place as second only to the M.C.C. of clubs outside the counties. Opinionswere divided whenitwas announced that the club was to be started, and most people thought that it would be more or less of a failure, and that its first-class matches would be a kind of skittles. But the Doctor soon showed that he was able to get together a power­ ful team, and it very soon began to be recognised that young players of promise were enjoying opportunities such as had never previously fallen in their way. Prom the complete list of matches given below, it will be seen that Dr. Grace has not been idle during the winter. Every­ body is glad that Gloucestershire now appears on the list both for out and home matches. There is considerable proba­ bility that the club will this year be stronger than ever, which is saying a great deal. 6 APRIL. }>■ v. X X II. of Sydenham Park 13. Oval, v. Surrey* 26. Palace, y.

A. Jephson were not able to play. Against the slow-medium left hand bowling of Jackson, a young Mitcham professional, from whom great things are hoped, the X II. fared badly on a wicket which was slow from heavy rain during the night, and if a good many chances had not been missed off him, Jackson would have had a brilliant analysis. As it was, it was a most creditable performance to take 9 wickets for 73 against some of the best of the Surrey X I., even though they were out of practice. Lees and Davis hit hard while they were together, and put on 55 for the sixth wicket. Thanks chiefly to very good innings by Moulder and Montgomery, the XV I. at the end of the day were leading by 71 runs with tix wickets still in hand. Montgomery, who showed excellent form, was not out, 64. This he increased to 90 on Tuesday morning, and would in all probability have made his hundred if he could have found anybody to stay with him. The XV I. had a good lead, but as rain came tbe match could not be finished. SURRKY First innings.
