This list falls considerably short of the numbrr scored last year — 162 in 1912, 257 iii 1911. Then there were 216 in Conntv Cham ­ pionship matches ; this time there are only 97. The 162 this year weie made by 78 batsmen, the 257 last year by 110, thus : In 1912.

Up to the end of May, aud including the matches finished on June 1, 55 cen­ turies were registered; in June (excluding "aturday, the 1st) 40 were m ad e; in July, 49 ; in August, 12 ; and in September, 6. The new names in the list (that is, of men who have never made a century in first-class cricket in tbis country before, though three of the Colonials, Hartman, Kelleway, and Sm ith, have done so at home) number 14, as against 27 last )e a r: Lieut.
