316 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A ug . 3, 1905. a low ball, but the picture does not give any idea of Hayward’s graceful move­ ments when making a stroke. He was apparently sketched when he had the bloom of youth upon him. Bosanquet, Duff and Bumup are represented in characteristic attitudes. T he changes which have recently taken place in Perrin’s luck, may be seen from the following record of his scores for the season. It will be noticed that his sequence of runs may be divided into three periods :—First period : 10, 7, 6, 24, 13, 3, 6, 7, 45, 6, 13, 2, 0, 0. Second period: 21, 33, 24, 47, 8. Third period : 74, 140, 103 not out, 34 and 24. L a s t week Dr. Bencraft, the Hamp­ shire cricketer, whose services to the county as honorary secretary for many years were highly valued, received a testimonial from Hampshire cricketers. It took the shape of a silver bowl and a cheque for £150, with an illustrated record containing the names of sub­ scribers. I t was stated last week that at the request of the Sussex committee, Kent had agreed to drop the second eleven matches which had been arranged between the two counties. Sussex has been unfortunate in the matter of trial matches. In 1899 the committee were obliged to postpone the annual colts’ match, on account of want of funds, and it has never been revived. Two years ago, for the same reason the M.C.C. match had to be abandoned, and this year in addition to the withdrawal of the second eleven matches, the matches between Gentlemen of Sussex and Incog­ niti and _ Old Cliftonians have been dropped. All these evils, necessary as they doubtless are, must make it very difficult for the committee to discover new talent. Y e s t e r d a y C. B. Fry brought his total for the season to 2,020 runs, thus being the first man to reach the second thousand. Hayward, who has now made 1,846 runs, has the nearest aggre­ gate to Fry’s.

The bowling of Cadman on Monday had much to do with the small score made by Warwickshire, who on a fairly easy wicket could only make 160 runs, Cadman dismissing five men for 34. When Derby­ shire went in L. G. Wright played another fine innings. He and Cadman put up the hundred for the first wicket when they had been together for an hour and ten minutes, and it was not until the total was 121 that the first wicket fell. Cadman was then run out for an excellent 45, the ball being driven by Wright back to the bowler, and glancing off him into the wicket. Wright survived him until just before stumps were drawn,' having played splendid cricket for a liUle iess than two hours for his 81. When the day’s play ended* the Derbyshire score was 156 for two wickets. Ollivierre, H. F. Wright, Morton, and Warren all made useful scores on Tuesday, and Derbyshire had a lead of 243. Warwickshire in their second innings lost seven wickets for 34, but Byrne and Santall then played out time, the total being 76. Yesterday the two not-outs added 19 runs, and then the end soon came.

( t w e n t y -s ix t h o f t h e t o u r .) AN INNINGS OF 267 BY M. A. NOBLE. Played at Brighton on July 31, Aug. 1 & 2. Australians won by an innings and 76 runs. It is quite the fashion for an Australian team to make a large total against Sussex, and the present team distinguished itself in this match almost as much as some of its predecessors. Sussex had to do without the services of Goldie and R. A. Young, but on the other hand Fry again appeared on the side, which also included a brother of Relf, and Dwyer, the Australian, who is qualifying for the county. The Australians gave a rest to Hill and Laver, and also left out Newland and Gregory. Sussex lost the toss, and had the opportunity of making a serious study of Australian methods of batting. At the end of the day the total was 474, with only four wickets down. Dwyer, the new importation, had a brief period of great success, for after dismissing Trumper for 17, he made a brilliant catch at point which dis­ posed of Annstrong before he had made a run. Here the success of Sussex ended, for the next wicket did not fall until the total was 154, when Duff was very finely caught by Seymour at mid-on with one hand. Duff’s innings was almost perfect, and it paved the way for large scores by Noble and Darling. Meanwhile Noble had settled himself down for the rest of the day, having survived a catch when his total was only 20. When he was joined by Darling at 215 the bowlers had a trying experience, for when stumps were drawn the two men were still together, Noble having made 242 and Darling 89. No records were made on Tuesday. The Australian batting was poor and the last six wickets fell for 82 runs in 75 minutes. Noble was never comfortable, and was out when he had increased his score by 32. Altogether he was batting for five hours and a half, was missed three times, and hit thirty-three 4’ s. In many ways his innings was exceedingly good, but it was by no means one of his best efforts. His partnership with Darling produced 275 runs in two nours and three quarters. Nor was Darling seen quite at his best, although his 93 included many brilliant hits. Dwyer bowled uncommonly well, with exceedingly bad luck, several catches being missed off him, and he ought to have had Noble when he had made 20. After their long outing in the field Sussex fared badly when batting, but Fry was himself, and played a beautiful innings. He began to score quickly from the first, and it was soon evident that when he is at his best the Australians are as powerless as other teams to prevent him from making his strokes. He scored 70 out of 103 in an hour and ten minutes, making no mistake of any kind. Despite his efforts Sussex lost seven wickets for 136, and although the tail played with resolution and added 125, the county had to follow on with arrears of 295 to wipe off. Before stumps were drawn they scored 27 for the loss of Seymour, Vine being not out 2. Yester­ day Sussex held out until about four o’clock, and it was not Vine’s fault that the game was not drawn, for he played a wonderfully good defensive game, and kept in until his side had lost all chance of saving the match. Noble bowled finely on a wicket which waswearing a little. A ustralians . R. A. Duff, c Seymour, b K illick .................82 V. T. Trumper, c Butt b Dwyer .................17 W. W.
