MEETING OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE
MARYLEBONE CLUB—THE PLAYERS AND
FOWLERS.
The committee of the M.C.C. held a meeting in the
Pavilion at Lord's last week at which the following reso-
lutions were agreed to :
" That the M.C.C. Players shall infuture receive 10s.,
in addition to the usual pay, for each match at Lord's,
when not confined to a single day, making 31. 10s. each
for the winners, and 2/. 10s. each for the losers.
" That Mr. Dark communicate to the bowlers of the
M.C.C. that it is the wish of the committee that any
M.C.C. player who shall stand umpire in any match,
shall pay particular attention to the bowling, in refer-
ence to Rule No. 10 of The Laws of Cricket ;' and if
any bowler shall in his opinion on such occasion trans-
gress that law, by throwing or jerking the ball, or if the
hand of the bowler shall be above the shoulder in
delivering, that ie, when the ball leaves the hand,
ho shall call no ball. As it is impossible to define a
throw or jerk, he must form his own opinion on those
subjects, but bear particularly in mind in all these cases
that if he shall have the slightest doubt as to the fair-
ness of a bowler, it is his duty to call no ball. If in any
match he shall call any bowler unfair, and such bowler
shall be allowed to bowl by the other umpire, he shall
explain his reasons to such other umpire, and endeavour
if possible to agree with him as to the course to be taken
during the remainder of the match. Bat if the differ-
rence of opinion shall be so great that no agreement
can be come to, he shall act according to his own opi-
nion, and shall, as soon as possible after the match, re-
port to the committee of the M.C.C. the circumstances
of the case.
" Although the committee of the Marylebone Cricket
Club address these observations to their own players in
particular, they recommend the consideration of them to
umpires throughout the country."

DEATH OF REDGATE, THE CRICKETER.
A fortnight since this once celebrated bowler, for
years the pride of his own eleven, and the terror of
his adversaries, breathed his last at Old Radford,
near Nottingham, after three years of painful suffer-
ing. The lamentable bodily condition into which
Redgate had fallen was the effect of the habits in
which he had indulged for several years preceding this
last event, and not unfrequent were the pecuniary
aids which were tendered to him by his friends
and others who had been his admirers in his palmy days,
when, from the severity of the then attack, he was un-
able to follow any vocation whereby he could earn the
ordinary means of subsistence. It will be seen from the
following outline of his history, which we extract from
Mr. Denieon's Sketches of the Players, published in 1846,
that at time of his death, Redgate, had he lived until
the 27th of July next, would have completed his 41st year.
" Samuel Redgate was born at Arnold, about four miles
from Nottingham, on the 27th of July, 1810. Ho stands
5 feet 81 inches in height and weighs when in health
12 stone. Redgate is a lace maker. He had several
years been celebrated as a bowler of much eminence,
ere he came up to Lord's, in the season of 1835, where

public match, however, was in 1829, in a match be-
tween Leicester and Nottingham, in which he scored
39 and 27, and bowled 7 wickets. In one of the matches
wherein he was engaged, ho bowled 13 wickets, a feat
which has rarely been equalled. In one of the Kent and
England matches, which was played at Town Mailing, he
bowled three of the best wickets in ane ' over,' and got
20 runs in one innings. This last act is recorded, because
Redgate strictly is not a batsman of high standing, al-
though we have seen him make long hands occasionally.
As a bowler, however, ho has had pretensions of the
first character. His pace was extremely rapid, his
delivery beautiful and unexceptionable as to fair-
ness, while its length was excellent, and its rise
quick and very effective. Indisposition during the ladt
year or two has made some havoc in his physical
powers; but in all other respects, save that of the pace,
he bowled in some of the matches last season as well
as ever. It is feared that he has not at all times
been the beat friend to himself, and that the illness
he has had was the result of various indiscretions.
Sincerely is it hoped that he has entirely regained his
health; and it may be inferred that such a con-
sequence from carefulness has come to pass, seeing
that he is at present at Cambridge as a practice bowler
to the gentlemen of that Univeraity. His average as a
bowler in 1844 was as follows:—He played ten matches,
bowled 31 wickets, and made an average of three one-
tenth. In 1845 he played ten matches, had 14 innings,
scored 8 in one innings, 16 in one match, and 37 in all,
giving an average of about 2. In the same number be
bowled 32 wickets, had 18 caught of him, and took in all
50 wickets, or an average of 5 per match. He also
bowled 7 wides.—Nottingham Journal.
