This is a record to which there is no parallel. H u bkrt M y e r s , the Yorkshire cricketer, has secured a three years’ engagement at Port Elizabeth, and will sail for South Africa at the close of the current season with his wife and family. H e is going to the same club that Yogler was formerly connected with. T om H a y w a r d ' s 202 v. Derbyshire is his ninety-fifth cen­ tury in first-class cricket (91 in England, one in South Africa, three in Australia), and his fifth against the Peak County. He scored 229 not out at Derby in 1896. Mr. F. L. Fane’s 125 v. Lancashire is his first against that side, his twenty-first in first- class cricket. Wilfred Rhodes’s 125 v. Sussex is his third against the southern team, and his twenty-third in all. J. W. H earn e was getting his own back when he ran up three-figures v. Worcestershire at Lord’s. At Worcester he failed to score in either innings. T w e l v e members of the Germantown team have arrived in England by the Holland-American liner Nieuw Amsterdam. Unfortunately, Mr. Percy H. Clarke and Dr. J. Norman Henry were prevented at the last moment from making the trip, but it is quite possible they may join the side later. M r . C. A. B o d e n , who played a fine innings of 40 for Leicestershire against Notts on Tuesday, has been doing great things this season for Leeds University. He has made hundreds against the three other Northern Universities, scoring 156 not out v. Sheffield, 106 v. Liverpool, and 104 not out v. Manchester. During the vacation he has made 70, 108 not out, 41 and 63 in consecutive games for Mirfield College. He was born at Countesthorpe in 1891, and has gained distinction at football and fives. I t is not generally known that the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Et. Hon. J. W. Lowther, now in his 56th year, is the President of the Campsea Ashe Park C.C., and that he plays whenever he has time. Of course he is a busy man and has no time for practice, but when he is able to get down for a Saturday afternoon match it is delightful to see his keenness and how thoroughly he enjoys a game. P r e ben d a ry A. P . W ick h am , the old Oxford and Somerset wicket-keeper, after being for twenty-two years Vicar of Martock, has accepted the living of East Brent, near Weston- super-Mare. D r . E . M. G r a c e , who died in May in his seventieth year, left estate of the gross value of .£6,538, which he bequeathed to his wife and eight children. E sse x have good cause to be satisfied with their work during the past week, seeing that, they beat Surrey handsomely and gained three points by obtaining a lead on the first innings over Lancashire. The attendance on Saturday was a capital one for Leyton, and there was considerable enthusiasm at the victory of the local side. In the Lancashire match Tremlin had a very successful spell with the ball, taking five wickets with his last 17 deliveries at the cost of two runs. . . l w . . . . w . l . . w . W w At one time it appeared quite likely that they would win the match outright, but, as it happened, Lancashire experienced little difficulty in effecting a very honourable draw.
