THE SCORER OF. 1734.—Tw0 hundred years ago the job of the cricket scorer was a little more strenuous than it is to-day. Every run was checked by the cutting of notches on a stick. This was faithfully carried out at a game in England recently when a match was played under “1734 rules.”
THE ENDEAVOUR SETS OUT.—A picturesque study of Mr T. O. M. Sopwith's yacht Endeavour, escorted by his steam yacht Vila, leaving Gosport on the start of the trip across the Atlantic for the America’s Cup races. The yacht was given a cut-down ketch rig for the passage to the States.
