Description:This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ...are many of them--are followed by suppers, subscribed for by the players, or provided by the masters, which are the scenes of much amusement and conviviality. The great annual meeting of cricketers at Rugby is at the time of the old Rugbeian match. It is played between an eleven of old Rugbeians and the School eleven, and at the same time several other games are played between school cricketers, past and present. The School eleven also play many foreign matches, for instance, matches between college teams from the Universities, the Rugby club, the Free Foresters, the Butterflies, the M. C. C, &c.; but the match which is of most importance is the annual" match between Rugby and Marlborough, played at Lord's on the first days of the summer holidays. It has for years been an annual match, and down to 1890 it has been played thirty-two times, won nineteen times by Rugby, won ten times by Marlborough, and three times it has been drawn. The eleven also used to play the M. C. C. in London, immediately after the Rugby and Marlborough match. Many a good cricketer has gained his reputation at the two London matches; and it was, I fancy, in the Rugby and Marlborough match at Lord's in 1877 that Mr. A. G. Steel met Mr. C. F. H. Leslie for the first time. Among celebrated Rugby cricketers I might refer to Messrs. H. C. Bradby, D. H. Brownfield, S. P. B. Bucknill, T. Case, F. L. Evelyn, C. K. Francis, F. D. Gaddum, H. W. Gardner, E. T. Hirst, E. M. Kenney, C. F. H. Leslie, B. Pauncefote, A. A. Pearson, F. Tobin, W. Yardley, and G. F. Vernon. In connection with the games, I should speak of the Racquet Courts, the Gymnasium, and the Bath, and I should say something of the School Rifle Corps and the Wimbledon, now the Bisley " Eight."
