Not a ball could be bowled on Monday, and when play commenced on Tuesday it was on a dead wicket. After Hobbs had been caught in the out­ field at 20 and Bayward at mid-off at 32, Hayes and Marshal put on 28 together and the former and Bird 34. Hayes played a really fine game: he made 80 out of 176 in 150 minutes without a chance and hit five 4’s. In response to a total of 196, Leicestershire lost Wood at 22, but Knight played well for 31 and Whitehead and Coe put on 40 in 25 minutes. When stumps were drawn with five wickets down for 92 the latter’s score was 23. Yesterday Coe failed to add to his score and the remaining wickets went down for 17. During the innings Strudwick made five catches and Smith took six wickets for 42. Going in again, Hobbs and Hayes, by fine forcing cricket, put on 74 together in 40 minutes after Hay­ ward was out without a run. The others, however, failed, only Strudwick and Marshal reaching double­ figures, and Leicestershire were set 217 to win in three hours and a-quarter. Smith and Rushby again met with success, six wickets going down in an hour for 40. King and Astill made a fine resis- stance and looked like saving the game, but after the former’s dismissal the end soon came. Score and analysis :— S u r r e y . L eicestersh ire . First innings.

BABBIT A CRICKET EXPERT. A N IM A L H ELPS B E LLE V U E CLUB TO W IN IT S M ATCH GAM ES. A gray rabbit that plays cricket is the chief ornament just now of Anderson Park in this city. It is an active member of the Bellevue Cricket Club and takes part in match games. Members of other and com­ peting clubs object to the Bellevue Club ringing in a rabbit. The objections are ignored, however, and thus far all the scores made stand as being official. The rabbit is a poor little orphan. It has no father, no mother, no brother and no sister. The only relatives it has are the members of the cricket club, who have been adopted. As soon as the cricketers line up on the green, the rabbit, which has been christened Artie by the members of the Junior Mountain Society, hops out on the green and takes his place in the Bellevue’s line-up. When the ball goes afield the rabbit makes after it, stops it with its front paws, swings about, backs up and gives the ball a powerful kick that sends it spinning towards the wicket­ keeper. The more radical admirers of the rabbit say it is one of the most scientific fielders of the team. It has literally kicked its way to popularity. Bunny is everybody’s pet. Even the rabbit hounds refuse to chase it. When it first was seen in the Park, almost a year ago, it was exceedingly wild. The children began feeding it and petting it and now it eats out of the hand. In Upper Montclair there is a children’s organization called the Junior Mountain Society. Its mission is to pre­ serve the natural beauties. The children in the club have constituted themselves the guardians of the cricket playing rabbit when the members of the Bellevue Cricket Club are not around. Once or twice a day the boys are seen in or near the Park engaged in fierce combat. Inquiry in relation to the cause of the fighting almost invariably elicits the information that one of the boys was caught chasing the pet rabbit and that the other boy is thrashing him for it. It is the best protected rabbit in New Jersey .— N ew York Press. HAMPSTEAD v. CHARLTON PARK.—Played at Charlton Park on August 18. C h arlton P a r k . H ampstead . SURREY v. YORKS.
