My tone was bitter, almost rude, I fixed him sternly with my eye, Then asked him if this heinous charge He could d en y: “ Their last man in ; your side required But one more run to win the match, When you— you ass ! you jackanapes !— You skied a catch ! ” He answered nought, and straight I poured My vials of wrath upon his head. “ You goa t! you first prize id iot! ” I fuming said. W ith epithets of “ ass ” and “ jay ” His-soul I painted black as ink, And rounded off with “ mutton-head ” And “ missing link.” Oh, mien and meekness wonderful! Upon his brow appeared no frown ; He clenched no angry, vengeful fist T o strike me down ! And this is why— lest you should deem "Veracity is sold for pelf. I stood before the looking-glass, And slanged—m yself! A r c h i b a ld J. A . W i l s o n in The Captain. ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS. E ric B. C heales. —Many thanks. See “ Gossip.” E. P ocock. —E. Alletson, of Notts, was born at Wel- beck on March 6th, 1881 “ Certainly one of the most interesting year-books of the season is that issued from the office of Cricket, 168, Upper Thames Street, London, E.O. The price is only a penny, and the photograph of the Kent team alone is worth that amount. There are pages of curiosities, biographies, and portraits of four prominent players, and excellent pictures of the Surrey, Essex, Lancashire, and Middlesex elevens. The book is excellently printed, and ought to bo in the hands of all lovers of the game .”—Athletic News. CR ICKET IN IND IA . OOTACAMUND GYMKH ANA v. BANGALORE. Played at Ootacamund on May 8 and 10.

As the match had been arranged on behalf of Mr. J. A. Murdoch, the Assistant Secretary to the M.C.C. for over thirty years, it was especially regrettable that the weather conditions on tho opening day were such as to induce very few persons to visit the ground. Essex, who batted first on a slow but not difficult wicket, lacked the assistance of Carpenter and Gillingham. Douglas was caught in the slips at 19, Perrin lbw at 53, and McGahey caught two later, all three wickets being obtained by Tarrant, who bowled so well that by lunch time six were down for 93, Fane being not out 37. After the adjournment an improvement was seen, Buckenham helping to add 20, Kortright 21, and Russell, who batted thirty minutes ere making a run, 26. Fane played a very good innings indeed, and made his 82 out of 160 in three hours: he hit six 4’s and was ninth out. Only three other players reached double figures, the next highest scorer on the side being Perrin with 16. Tarrant took eight wickets for 94 in the innings of 164, and as a result of his exertions was sent in second wicket down instead of opening the Middlesex innings. Litteljohn was bowled with only 15 scored, but Bosanquet, who was seen at his best, and Warner remained together until 86, when both were sent back. Harrison was bowled by Douglas at 97, after which Trott gave a characteristic display, claiming 32 of the 41 added for the fifth wicket with Tarrant in half-an-hour; he was, however, twice missed before reaching double figures. At the end of the day Middlesex, with half their wickets in hand, were only four runs behind. On Tuesday, Tarrant took his overnight score of 27 to 81before running himself out. He added 45 with Hunt, and 54 in forty minutes with MacGregor, and gave only one chance —when 66—during the one hundred and seventy-five minutes he was in. He hit a five and nine 4’s, and, whilst showing strong defence, hit to leg and cut well. Essex, 114 in arrears, lost Fane at 22, but Perrin and Douglas rendered the side much service by adding 87 for the second wicket in seventy-five minutes. With McGahey in, another useful part­ nership resulted, and Perrin reached his 50 out of 90 in seventy minutes. The latter afterwards slowed down considerably, being evidently fatigued, but he was never in difficulties, and to the end played with his customary ease. The association of Perrin and McGahey produced 58runs, and after the latter had been caught, the former and Freeman added 46 more without being separated, Perrin at the close of the day, carrying out his bat for 116, and the Essex total being 213 for three wickets. Yesterday morning Perrin failed to increase his score: he took three hours and-a-quarter to make his faultless 116, and hit 12 4’s. Page made some capital catches, and Mead and Russell put on 39 together. Rain after­ wards came down, and caused the game to be drawn. Score and analysis :— E ssex . First innings. F. L.
