MR \V. G. GRACE'S GREAT SCORE AT GRIMSBY. Mr Good, hon. secretary of the Worsley Cricket Ciub, sends the following to ' Sporting Life ' :—I forward a few particulars anent Mr W. G. Grace's marvellous innings and the mammoth score amassed by the United South in the recent match at Grimsby. The wickets of the South fell as follows : 123 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 85 123 252 562 568 577 579 CIS 642 675 Mr W. G. Grace's score was made as follows :—Four 6's, twenty-one 4's, six 3's, fiftyeight 2's, and 13S singles. The bowding was up to the average (mostly amateur), the wicket perfection ; but Mr Grace's play was acknowledged by all present (including the members of the South team) to be such as they never before witnessed. He gave no chance whatever during the first and second days. On the third he gave two oasy ones, viz., to short-slip and long leg, but he had then scored 350 runs. ltogether he was at the wickets during the three days thirteen hours and a-half, and had no less than fifteen bowlers in turn opposed to him.
