The executive of the Notta County Club were singularly unfortunate in the first of their two matches with the Fifth Australian team. Rain prevented a ball being bowled at all on Trent Bridge on Monday, and on Tues­ day play only lasted an hour and a quarter. During the short period available on the second day the Australians made a fairly good start. Through the good cricket of Messrs. Bonnor and Scott, fifty runs had been made for the loss of only one batsman (Mr. Jones). On resuming yesterday, the wicket, drying under abright sun, was all againstthe batsmen, and during the day twenty-one wickets fell for an aggregate of 175 runs. The last ten batsmen on the Australian side occupied two hours and a quarter in making 59 runs, and of theae as many as 30 were contributed by Garrett by free hitting. Notts began badly against the bowling of Spofforth and Giffen. Six wickets were down for 38, but Selby, Shacklock and Shaw all batted creditably, and on the completion of the first hands the County were only five runs behind, Shaw and Sherwin, the laat batsmen, adding 32. Going in again, the Australians lost two good batsmen before play ceased, and at the finiah, they were 17 runs on with eight wickets to fall. Spofforth and Giffen bowled unchanged through the County’s innings. The former took six wickets for 58, and the latter four for 31 runs. As an instance of the difficulty of the ground yesterday, it may be stated that Bonnor was in half an hour without making a run. There was a large attendance to witness the last day’s play.

TH E T R IA L M ATCHES A T TH E U N IV E R S IT IE S . T he following notes on the- trial matches at Oxford and Cambridge by thoroughly practical critics, will, we hope, be read with interest. C ambridge . Both matches, especially the Seniors, were spoilt by the rain, and very little could be judged of the form, with the wickets in so bad a state. For the Seniors, Knatchbull-Hugessen batted in good form for 30, and, as you probably know, is able to keep wickets. On the other side Slocock, of Jesus, did very well as wicket­ keeper; he can bat fairly as well. Cobbold played a good innings, he is a tremendous hitter on the off-side. C. C. Mott, of Selwyn, got top score (over forty), he played steadilyand can bat. For his college, last year, he bowled, too, a lot of wickets. Of those that did not come off,.or had no innings, Crawley, Porter, Lucas, Greenstock, Hanmer, and Brutton, all have shown good form this year with the bat. Greenstock, especially, has made a lot of runs, and bats in fine form. Of the bowlers,Moline and Mirehouse both did enough in the match to show that they are in good form this year. The former is a slow bowler, with a high delivery, the other is better known. Sutthery, of Jesus, who did not play in the Seniors, is a most brilliant bat,hitting very hard, and in the best style ; he can bowl, too, and get wickets. The other bowlers did not come off. Brutton, fast right-hand, is likely to get men out, A player worth noticing is W.L.Hayter. He can bat fairly well, and could, I think, give Briggs points at fielding; he is really a marvellous cover point, with a quick return at the top of the wicket. The Freshmen’s match was not much more interesting than the other. Meyrick-Jones played a fine innings, he hits well to the off, and has a defence. Lee-Smith, from Rossall, is distinctly a good bat—hits hard in front of point, and can bowl, slow, pretty well. Watson and Thomas did not come off in batting, but both have showed good form in other matches. The former seems to be a rather over-rated player; the latter, to my mind, is much better than he is said to be. H. W. Hutson was, perhaps, the best of the lot. He is a most brilliant bat, though rather impatient, and bowled very well (slow right) ^for Mr. Bain­ bridge’s side. Hayhurst will make a good bowler, fast right-hand, but is too small yet. Martineau is another who will improve by keeping, he is likely to be quite first-rate. He bowls slow round, in the Uppingham fashion, and bats equally well. Butler played well in the match. Clark, a slow left-hander, bowled a lot of wickets, but does not look very dan­ gerous. O xford . The Seniors’ match did not unearth any new talent with the exception of R. G. Glennie, whose innings of 136 was a very fine one. He gave two hard chances in the long-field, the first when he had made 86. He is certainly a very fine bat, andwill go very near getting his blue. Of the rest, P. Coles, who nearly got in last year, played an innings of 70, without a chance. Glennie and he made 210 runsfor the first wicket. The bowlers were under a dis­ advantage, as the ball was continually made greasy from constant showers. H. T. Arnall- Thompson, who bowled last year with consid­ erable success for Leicestershire, was by far the best bowler, and seems likely to fill the gap caused by the loss of Bastard. J. H. Ware, who has not played much cricket lately, owing to rowing for the last two years, scored 43 by good clean hitting, and took five wickets. He is fast medium, of the bumpy order, and bowls from a great height. The Freshmen’s match was spoilt by the weather. No play took place on the first day, and the other two were bitterly cold. H. W. Forster and and W. Rasleigh scored 43 and 41 respectively. For Mr. Key’s side Forster batted very well, hitting well at loose balls all round. Rashleigh is not a punishing bat, but his defence is very strong. He has been scor­ ing very largely this year already, and is undoubtedly a very difficult bat to get rid of, playing, as he does, the most perfect cricket. On the dismissal of these two the wicket seemed to be difficult, no one else showing any form. For Mr. Page’s side, who made 160, C. Wreford-Brown was the highest scorer with 43. The wicket was difficult to start with,and his was a fine defensive innings. A.V. Bateson played a hard-hit innings towards the finish. A. C.M. Croome showed some form, but the wicket was difficult when he was in. Mr. Key’s side, in the second innings, only got 53, Rashleigh.alone making double figures. Raw­ linson was, on the whole, the most successful bowler, taking four wickets in the first, and eight in the second innings. He bowled with extraordinary luck, and the wind in the second innings evidently helped him. He bowls round-arm, and is straight and rather fast. Bromley-Martin and Wreford-Brown were the best bowlers. They are of the same style (slow round), with a great deal of work (from the off) of the slow wicket. Bromley- Martin bowled very well, taking six wickets for 28 runs. Wreford-Brown was absent in the first innings, so only bowled during the short second innings. Burrell was fairly successful in the first innings. He is a slow overhand bowler, breaking both ways. Fowler took three wickets, but he does not seem to be nearly so good as last year, probably owing to having injured his foot at the end of the foot­ ball season. Forster, though he bowled well and might be a useful bowler, was unsuccess­ ful. BLACKHEATH v. BICKLEY PARK. Played at Blackheath on May 15. B ickley P ark . A.
