20 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. F e b . 24, 1 9 1 0 . latter, when he scored 23 and 54 v. Chel­ tenham and 29 v. Sherborne, his figures were 24 35. In his second season he was described as “ Perhaps the best wicket-keeper that Clifton has had ; a most successful bat, hitting well to leg, and cutting very hard ; a'ways a most plucky aud keen cricketer.” In later years he was identified with the (Jrange C.C., for which he made many fine pcoies. One of his best innings was against West of Scotland at Glasgow in June, 1894. Grange scored 244 for two wickets—John­ ston ICO not out and L. M. Balfour-Melville 102 not out—and declared, and then dis­ missed their opponents for 110. Among his many other good scores were 148 for Gentle­ men of Edinburgh v. Players of Scotland in 188S and 163 for Grange v. M.C.C. at Lord’s in July, 1892. When he played the latter iunings he and A. G. Grant Ashtr (215) put on 328 for the fourth wicket and the Grange declared with nine wickets down for 557. It was about that time that it was said of him, “ For rapid scoring he is a perfect wonder, and nothing pleases him better than fast bowling, and most of his big scores are made from it.” In 1902 and 1905 he captained the Scottish team against the Australians in Ediuburgh, making 4 and 30 not out in the former year and 13 and 0 in the latter. He played occasionally for the Old Cliftonians and had been a member of the M.C.C. since 1901. He was also a good golfer and foot­ baller. S ir C h arles M arrio tt . Sir Charles Hayes Marriott, M.D., F.RC.S., D.L., J.P., died at Kibworth Harcourt, Leicestershire, on the 15th inst., in his seventy-seventh year. He was a very useful batsman in his younger days and was in the Uppingham Eleven in 1850 and 1851. His four sons—one of whom, Mr. H. H. Marriott, has played for Malvern, Cambridge and Leicestershire—are all keen cricketers. [The deceased was not related to Mr. Charles Marriott, a splendid batsman, who captained the Leicestershire Eleven before Mr. de TralTord occupied the position.] M r. R . H. R a p h a e l. Mr. Richard H. Raphael, a cousin of Mr. J. E. Raphael, of Oxford University and Surrey, died in the middle of January an I was buried on the 26th of that month. He was educated at Wellington, where he was in the Eleven in 1890 and 1891 under the captaincy of Mr. G. J. Mordaunt. In the former year he was ninth in the batting averages, but in the latter, when he scored 52 against Charterhouse and the same number against Haileybury, he occupied second place, making 395 runs with an average of 30*38. In his last season at the College he was described in Lillywhite as “ A most useful, hard-hitting bat, invaluable in giving confidence to his side : fair change bowler.” He proceeded to Oxford but did not obtain his Blue. In 1892 he made 19 and 1 in the Freshmen’s match, 5 and 6 for XVI. Freshmen v. The Eleven, and 101 for Next Sixteen v. The Eleven. In the following season he made 36 in the Seniors’ game, and in 1894 scored 17 in the match of that year between the same sides and 25 for Next Sixteen against the Twelve. Frequently he played for the Oxford University Authentics, and in 1902-3 was a member of their team which visited India. During the tour he made 642 runs with an average of 23-70, his highest score being 111 against the Parsees at Bombay. Speaking of the innings, Mr. Cecil Headlam said in his published account of the tour :— “ Raphael played magnificently. He hit with splendid confidence and yet maintained a sound defence. Though twice missed at the wicket and once from a very hard return to Mehta, it would not be easy to overpraise his cricket. As a batsman, he crouches—after the fashion of Jessop—and dashes at the ball with something of the same sort of spring. His 111, which com­ prised eleven 4’s and a 6 —a glorious off- drive over the stauds — provoked great enthusiasm.” T h e R ev. E. H. R o g e rs . The Rev. Edward Henry Rogers, Vicar of Thames Ditton for over thirty-seven years, died at Worthing on January 29th in his eighty-fourth year. For many years he was President of the Thames Ditton C.C. M r . A. F. W a lt e r . Mr. Arthur Fraser Walter, D.L., J.P., Chairman of The Times Publishing Com­ pany, died at Bearwood, Wokingham, on Tuesday last. He was born at Waterloo Lodge, Wokingham, on September 12th, 1846, and was educated at Eton, where he was in the Eleven in 1864 and 1865. In the matches against Harrow he made 45 runs in four innings and against Winchester 29 in two. Proceeding to Oxford, he played against Cambridge in 1869 when, although he failed to make a run in either innings, he took six wickets for 59 runs. Cambridge, who had a good side that year, won by 58 runs. Of Mr. Walter S'cores and Biographies said :—“ Is a good average batsman, com­ bining fair hitting with strong defence, bowls round armed of moderate speed, and is an excellent field (throwing well in at the wicket), though taking no place in particular.” He had been a member of the M.C.C. since 1871. His father, Mr. John Walter, played for Eton in 1836, and his younger brother, Mr. Henry Major Walter, in 1866 and two following years. In 1872 he married Henrietta Maria, elder daughter of the Rev. T. A. Anson, who was a famous wicket­ keeper in his day. CR ICKETERS AND THE G EN E R A L ELECT ION .

Subramanian, who had scored 135 in the previous match between the same sides (which was won by the M.U.C.), played a lucky innings, but made G4 for the first wicket with Kanganatham and 248 for the third with Etliirajulu. The last-named played a very attractive game, but his cricket was not quite faultless. Strouts was at his best in making 94, and Partridge was seen to advantage in each innings.
