Rain prevented any play in the first match of the season between these Counties, begun at Gloucester on Thursday, after luncheon hour on the second day. As a consequence, the game was drawn, Gloucestershire, after losing one wicket in its second innings, being still 46 runs behind. On the first night, Yorkshire had scored 106 for the loss of only one batsman, but after Ulyett’s departure, Woof’s bowling proved too much for the remaining bats­ men, except Bates and Peel, and the last seven wickets only added 42 runs.

On July 7, for Bradford Albion, G. Ulyett took three wickets "with successive balls. For the Yorkshire Post , against the Leeds General Post Office, G. Davison on Saturday last, per­ formed the same feat. ETON v. HARROW. T h e fifty-ninth match between these two great Public Schools, played at Lord’s on Friday and Saturday last, ended, as have so many of its predecessors, very unsatisfactorily, in a drawn game through the interference of rain. Indeed, the game took place under far from encouraging influences. On the first afternoon, though the weather on the whole was fine, Harrow, who lost the toss, had to bat in the very worst possible light, and on the second day, play was continued when the ground was really altogether unfit for cricket. Undersuch circumstances the form shown was in some respects fallacious. Eton gained a great advantage in winning the toss, and were not dismissed until they had reached the very creditable total of 231 For this sum they were mainly indebted to the good batting of two members of their eleven, F. Marchant and A. H. Studd. Though very dissimilar in style, both played cricket of a highly com­ mendable order. Marcliant’s hitting was one of the very best features of the match. The wicket played well and the Harrow bowling was very moderate.it must be admitted. Still the Etonian’s hitting was the best shown against Harrow since W. F. Forbes punished their bowling so severely in 1876;we shall be surprised if he does not make a reputation at Cambridge. He went in when two Eton wickets were down for 21, and was out the third at 136, having made in an hour and thirty-five minutes 93 of the 115 runs, while hi3 partner Studd was scoring 21. His hits were thirteen fours, four threes, six twos and seventeen singles. He played all the bowling with great confidence, and his hitting all round was very clean and well timed. Studd’s 64were the result of cricket of quite a different kind. He played a strictly defensive game throughout. He lias” not many strokes, but his patience was of the greatest value to his side. He was at the wickets three hours and a quarter for his runs. Of the total of 230 made by Eton from the bat, the two batsmen mentioned contributed 154. Harrow went in on Friday afternoon in a very bad light, but made an excellent start, the second wicket falling at 87, thanks to the good batting of Greatorex and Buxton. After this the light grew worse, and the fast bowling of Parker proved altogether too much for the last batsmen. He had previous been un­ successful, but when he went on a second time he was irresistible, and in four overs and two balls he took six wickets at a cost of only seven runs. His high fast delivery was greatly served by the bad light, but still he was very straight and altogether it was an exceptional performance. The best feature of the innings was the batting of Greatorex, and his thirty-seven not out was a very fine display of good sound batting. On Saturday morning Harrow followed on in a minority of 111 runs, but with the score at 23 for one wicket a severe thunderstorm stopped play at twenty minutes to twelve o’clock. A resumption was not possible until ten minutes to three, and then the ground was notin a fit state for play. The Eton bowlers found it difficult to stand, and when Oates and Greatorex had iaised the total to 76 for one wicket, another heavy thunderstorm stopped play finally, and the game was drawn. At the finish the Harrovians were only 35 runs behind, with nine wickets to fall, so tlxat the game was left much more open than had seemed likely on the previous night, and there was no reason why Harrow should not have made a good fight of it after all. For the show they made they were greatly endebted to the fine batting of Greatorex, and considering the diffi­ culties under which they were got, his two scores ofthirty-seven and forty,each not out, were certainly the best cricket of the match. He has sure defence and rarely fails to punish a loose ball. His play, as that of Marchant, was decidedly above the average of this match, and as he too goes to Cambridge, heshoulddevelope into one of the best amateur cricketers. At
