THURSDAY, MAY 16 t h , 1907 . $a\ulton The abstract and brief chronicle of the time.- Hamlel. M e . L io n e l P . C ollins , who has been playing for the M .G .C . at Lord’s recently, will always be remembered on account of his succession of large scores in India in 1904. Between February 8th and March 12th he played the following innings in succession ;— 122 I Gurkha Brigade v. Umballa, at Umballa, 126 J February 8, 9. 8 i Gurkba Brigade v. Meerut Garrison, at Meerut, 23 ( February 10,11. 119 I Gurkha Brigade v. Green Jackets, at Meerut, 116* j February 12,13. 0 \ Gurkha Brigade v.

Summary—11 innings, 3 times not out, highest score 206 not out, total 972, average 121*50. A t Taunton on Thursday last, during the luncheon interval on the first day of he Somerset v. Yorkshire match, a pre­ sentation was made to Mr. S. M. J. Woods, the late Somerset captain, iu order to mark the appreciation of his services to sport in general and to cricket inparticular. A sum of £1,620 had been raised by public subscription, of which £1,250 was invested by trustees. The remainder, with an illuminated address, was handed to Mr. Woods. H as it ever happened before, I wonder, that three players have carried their but through an innings in matches which opened on the same day? Whitehead, Braund, and Tarrant all performed the feat in great matches at the end of last week. B y means of his score of 17 not out in the second innings of the Somerset match at Taunton, David Denton on Friday last completed his twenty thousand runs for Yorkshire. A. E. B a i l i y , who took eight wickets for 46 runs in an innings of 181, for S merset v. Yorkshire at Taunton on Friday last, was born at Norwood on March 14th, 1872, and was engaged on the ground-staff at the Oval in 1892 and two following years. In July, 1892, he appeared for Surrey against Essex at Leyton, but met with no success, scoring only 0 and 3 and taking one wicket at a cost of 124 runs. In the Warwickshire match at Taunton a year ago he took six wickets for six runs—three in four balls— and so had much to do with the Mid­ landers’ collapse for 44—their lowest score in first-class cricket. At one period he had taken the half-dozen wickets at a cost of only two runs. I n Sir Foster Hugh Egerton Cunliffe, 6th Bart., who has consented to contest East Denbighshire as Unionist candidate at the next Election in place of Major Griffith Boscawen, cricketers will recog­ nise a member of the Eton X I. of 1893 and 1894 aud of that of Oxford in the four following years. Sir Foster, who captained his University in 1898, has played occasionally for Middlesex and has served on the Committee of the Muryleboue Club. As Editor of Methuen’s “ History of the War in South A frica” he gained considerable distinction. He is a Fellow of All Soul’s and a J . P . for Denbigh. W. C oopkk , who played for Essex against Surrey at the Oval last week, has for years been known as a punishing batsman who has made many large scores for Beckton. Against Lordship Park, at Beckton, in May, 1900, he made 46 off a couple of overs in an innings of 89, scoring five 4’s and a 2 off the first and
