TIMBER MILLS— ELMSWELL, SUFFOLK, aq e n t s a l l o v e r t h e w o r l d AT THE SIGN OF THE WICKET. By F. S. A shley -C ooper . The matcli which commences at Canterbury to-day is to be played for the benefit of F. H. Huish, one of the most accomplished of modern wicket-keepers. During the past decade he has rendered such excellent service to the county of his adoption—he was born at Clapham, in Surrey—that it is to be hoped the match will last three full days and be favoured with glorious weather. It seems remarkable, when one comes to consider the matter, that the size of the reward for a man’s services during many years should be allowed to depend almost solely upon the state of the weather. If Huish is granted uninterrupted sunshine for his match, well and good ; but, should rain cause play to last but a few hours, the whole of his future may be affected in consequence. (A. few years ago an inter-county match in the North of England was set apart as a “ benefit ” for a player, but it was found that, after paying the necessary expenses, the receipts had been exceeded by the expenditure!) In years to come something will doubtless be done to remedy the present state of things, probably at the instigation of the Advisory Committee of the Counties. A suggestion, which might be acted upon, is, that the net receipts (but not sums placed on subscription lists) from all benefit matches played during the season be brought together and divided into what­ ever amountsthe Advisory Committeethought fit. By this means each beneficiare would be sure of receiving a substantial recognition for his services. During the past week, in consecutive matches on the pretty Worcester ground, Worcestershire had a curious experience, for, after scoring 627 for nine wickets against Kent, they made but 129 for the loss of fifteen in the match with the Australians. In the latter game the county, in their first innings, lost their last eight wickets for but 15 runs, seven of them being claimed for five runs by Cotter, who, at one period of the game, bowled 52 balls for six runs and ten wickets, four of which were taken in seven balls without a notch being obtained off him. His analyses were 7 for 15, and 5 for 19, and it is worthy of mention that all his wickets were secured between 3.45 p.m.and the close of play.
