'The Morning Post and Daily Advertiser'. Friday 14th September 1787. Original 4pp broadsheet newspaper comprising report of two matches on page three. The first is a 'Cricket Match', Hambledon v All England [Kent], played at Windmill Down, Hambledon, 3rd-5th September 1878. All England (109 and 123) beat Hambledon (37 and 130) by 65 runs, Aylward top scoring in both innings with 31 and 65. The second 'Grand Cricket-Match', played at St. Mary-le-Bone (Lord's), was between Sir Horace Mann's XI and Lord Winchilsea's XI, 10th-12th September 1787. The match is recorded on Cricket Archive' as 'A-M v N-Z'. Reporting after the second day's play of 'the last match for this season', the article notes that T. Walker won the lottery for making the top score, 'he got 44 notches' and 'Lumpy [Edward Stevens], old as he is, was never greater than in his bowling on Wednesday', but describes the match as 'a hollow piece of business, when we consider that the players on both sides were allowed to be twenty-two of the best players in England'. Mann's XI won by 94 runs. Previously sold as lot 163 in the Christie's sale of 21st June 1996. Duty stamp to lower right corner of first page. Some splitting to fold, otherwise in very good condition
