254 SPORTING REMINISCENCES [1S25 to 



It is fair to add that England did not play its 

 strongest Eleven. James Broadbridge and 

 W. Lillywhite bowled. 



The Hants Eleven were W. Matthews, G. 

 Brown, Tom Beagley, Mr. Ward, Mr. H. 

 Kingscote, T. C. Howard, Mr. G. Claridge, 

 Mr. Lowe, Mr. F. Nicholas, Captain Davidson, 

 Captain Greenwood, Mr. Deedes ; and of these, 

 I imagine, one or two were not bona fide 

 Hampshire men. 



1S29 This match was played at Mid- 



Midhurst©. hurst, June 15th, 1829. The Ham- 



Hambledon. i i n tth i*i^ 1 



bledon Lleven, which formerly 

 played All England, had now fallen from its 

 high estate, as Midhurst won by 69 runs. 



The Hambledon Eleven were Messrs. J. 

 Bulbeck, Foster, Pay, Hammond, Boyce, 

 Friend, Etherington, Gale, Bligh, Downman, 

 and Garrett. Soon after this, Windmill Down 

 (where the return match was played) was 

 ploughed up. 



George George Freemantle, son of the old 



Freemantie. Hambledon Club player, came out 

 this year in a match at Lord's, playing for 

 England v. Sussex. He was born at Easton, 

 near Winchester; was a left-handed bat, but 



a right-handed bowler ; was living in Win- 

 es ' o 



Chester in 1861.
