Concerning this match Mr. Alfred Lubbock has said, “ This year I was asked to go down to Sandringham to play for I Z. there against Gentlemen of Norfolk, but I un­ luckily couldn’t go. I heard all about the match afterwards from those who took part in it. Bob FitzGerald and Lord Skelmers­ dale (late Earl of Lathom) both made good scores. H.E.H. the Prince of Wales played for I Z. and went in first; but failed to score, unluckily for him his first ball being a straight one; of course a long-hop to leg would have been a more suitable ball thaa a straight sneak.” I n front o r the P ark H ouse , at S andring ­ ham , J uly 18, 1866.

KING EDWARD, manly King and kingly Man, In whom plain seuse attained a sovereign grace, With lightning shaft lies stricken in our midst. GEOBGK rules iu place. Gather'd to his forefathers, than whom none E’er left a mourning people more distrest, The tireless, strong, enduring Lord of Peace Has gained his rest! Monarch who kingcraft meiged in fellowship, Eobust at once and gentle, good and great, From whom hypocrisy like arrogance Kept without gate! Grief overwhelm’d us with a stupor shock, And sorrow for our QUEEN, that midnight chill When tie was summon’d from an earthly throne; But ’twas GOD’S will! Jealous alone were we mid selfish tears, That in his joy of life and labour he Had made the stranger weep and honour him As much as w e! Man of the world, the world so ill can spare: King in all hearts: He who thy crown shall wear The heighten’d splendour of his throne may bless, And we be proud to share such manliness! H.P.-T.

Under the above title—“ New sciences need new names”—Sir Home Gordon, Bart., contributes a very interesting article to the May issue of the Badminton Magazine , wherein he traces the development of the ball which has played so prominent a part in recent International cricket. He says:— “ Ihe word ‘ googlie ’ comes from Australia, and thence came the first bowler of this type of ball known to the modern public. This was G. E. Palmer. Of him Alfred Shaw wrote —4 He was a beautiful bowler in every way, but I think he spoiled his bowling a gopd deal when he began to bowl a slow leg-curling ball. This seldom or never paid, for the reason that it was too slow.’ . . It has always been understood that his cricket career came to an end owing to muscular affection in the fore-arm due to his swerve bowling. This wras constantly being alluded to when Mr. Bosanquet was creating a mild sensation, but whether the passing of the Old Oxonian’s bowling was due to the same cause I have not the least idea. Mr. Palmer’s legitimate successor at the Antipodes was Mr. T. R. McKibbin, who came here in 1896. . . This bowler from New South Wales also failed to enjoy the average length of career t>f a Colonial cricketer; again for what reason is not generally known over here.” “ This year or next year,” says the author in conclusion, “ will surely come the new bowler who is to astound ; the man who will emulate Vogler, but at the pace of Tom Richardson. Already in South Africa one left-handed googlie bowler is heard of. Some of his type will further cramp stereotyped batting, which is at present so puzzled that every stroke, except monotonously reaching forward, seems beyond the ability of men previously thought excellent. Yet if they are not really equal to playing googlies their successors will be. Never yet has there been a type of bowling that has not been mastered by batsmen. Nor does it stand to reason that because our present batsmen are cramped those of to-morrow will be. They will possess initiative, whereas ours seems mutely to protest that it was not what they were coached to play when !;hey were at school. “ Googlieometry ” Ts only in its infancy. Its development may be portentous; but this develo] ment will entail corresponding developments of batting. Out of the imminent heterodoxy of methods with bat and ball will emerge as good an orthodoxy as we saw ten years ago. But it will be a different orthodoxy, because “ googlie­ ometry” is the science of making the old methods change in cricket.” GEORGE LEW IN & Co., (Established 1869.)
