PATTISSON , 1 Cricket: A WEEKLY RECORD OF TEE GAME. 168, UPPER THAMES STREET. LONDON, E.C. THURSDAY , JUNE 23 kd , 1904. ^a \)t lio n G o ss ip . The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.— Hamlet A t the end of last week Iremonger, the Notts batsman, made 272 for Notts against Kent, thus beating the 226 by C. B. Fry for Sussex v. Derbyshire, which had hitherto held the record for the season. In the two matches which he played last week Iremonger scored 461 runs, and was only out once. The highest score last year in first-class cricket was 296 b y A. O. Jones for Notts v. Gloucestershire. I n a match at Fleet, in North Hamp­ shire. the Fleet Excelsior C.C. scored 63. Their opponents—a team got together by Mr. A . Shilling—proceeded to do so well that the first three men scored 44 runs. The third man was then run out, and when the game was getting some­ what exciting three more men were run out in succession, with the result that the fielding side won b y two runs. I n another match in North Hampshire Simond’s Brewery C.C. scored 32 against 22 by Mr. F. A. Simond’s team, who then made 32 for three wickets, and then ia the sublime hope of dismissing their opponents quickly, declared, leaving the Brewery to score 23 in about half an hour. Unhappily for them, the Brewery, undismayed, scored 31 runs for only two wickets in that time. F or Malvern College against New College, Oxford, on June 14th, H. P. Day scored 201 not out, his hits including a six and 37 f lurs. Malvern made 352 for six wickets. M r . T. J. M a t t h e w s , the assistant secretary of the Ltncashire County C.C., has been appointed secretary. Mr. Swire, who I regret to say is still very ill, retains his post as honorary secretary. I n the match at Trent Bridge between Notts and Kent, 1221 runs were scored for the loss of 24 wickets, while the total in Yorkshire v. Worcestershire was 1,114 for twenty-eight wickets. In each match the side which had to follow on gave a Bplendid account o f itself in the second innings. I n a report which appeared in one of the great American Sunday papers of a match between tw o Philadelphia teams, the name of one of the players appears scattered up and down the score as Harland, Howland, and Holland. “ You
