Though they had a trifle the best of the first hands, the Derbyshire eleven had the worst of the later stages of this match, begun at Derby on Monday, and were beaten yester­ day by 157 runs. Surrey lost Mr. W. W. Read and Lohmann, who were playing at Manchester for England, and Derbyshire Messrs. Eadie and Maynard. The wicket was in dangerous condition, and after the first day the Captains decided to change, though, on an inspection of the new one, it was decided to continue on the old pitch. Surrey, who went in first, began fairly well, having made at luncheon on the opening day 112 for three wickets. After this, though, Mr. Walker’s fast bowling proved very successful, and he took six of the last seven wickets at a cost of only 11 runs. In the second innings, thanks chiefly to Abel and Diver, they made a much better show, the two professionals contributing 129 of 212 from the bat. Abel, who went in first, carried out his bat, only giving one chance when he had got 10. Derby­ shire had 226 to win, but in the state of the ground this was quite beyond their capacity, and they were all out for 68 . Beaumont did an extraordinary performance with the ball. In eleven balls he took four wickets at a cost of only six runs. S urrey . First Innings. Abel, c Davidson, b W. Chatterton .................38 Mr. J.

G8 OXFORD v. CAMBRIDGE. The Oxford eleven were yesterday successful in winning the Inter - University match at Lord’s, having a very creditable majority of 183 runs at the close. Their victory was the more creditable as on the form of the early trials Cambridge seemed to have a marked superiority, and indeed until quite recently the chances of Oxford were considered to be of the smallest. Indeed, to the last the light blues were distinctly the favourites, and the result was generally expected to be in their favour. The Oxford Captain, Mr. Page, was fortunate enough to win the toss, and he deputed Messrs. Key and Buckland to commence batting. Though the wicket was in the best condition the Oxonians at the outset did not show to great advantage, and the score at the fall of the eighth wicket was only 132. Mr. Cochrane, who then joined Mr. Cobb, helped to add 42 runs before he was out, and the innings came to an end when the latter was stumped for 191. Mr. Cobb, though not at home at first, played well towards the close, and his fifty was altogether a creditable performance. Messrs. Rock and Toppin did the bulk of the bowling for Cambridge, and both had good figures, the former getting five wickets for under fifteen runs apiece, the latter for fifteen and a-half. Messrs. Bainbridge and Buxton made a capital start when Cambridge went in to bat, and 64 runs had been got when the latter was caught. After their retirement, though, no great stand was made, and on Tuesday morning the last six wickets fell in anhour and a-halffor an addition of only61 runs. The commencement of Oxford’s second in­ nings wasmost sensational. At 1.20 on Tuesday Messrs. Key and Rashleigh went in, and it was five o’clock before the former was caught in the long field. Exclusive of the luncheon interval they were batting for two hours and fifty-five minutes, during which time they had made 243 runs. The largest previous record in an Inter- University match for the first wicket was 152 last year by Messrs. Bainbridge and Wright, for Cambridge, which falls far short of this week’s record. Mr. Key was, as already stated, at the wickets just under three hours for his 143, the highest innings in an Oxford and I Cambridge match. Though the ball went more than once almost within reach of the fieldsmen, he gave no actual chance, and as a display of vigorous cricket his innings will occupy a prominent place in the records of the year. In his score were one six (four for an overthrow) and fifteen fours. Mr. Rashleigh was in three hours and a quarter. When he had got 46 he was let off at mid-on, but with this exception till after he had got his hundred, when he played very loosely, his batting was admirable. Considering it was his first appearance in this match his achievement was one worthy of honourable distinction. After these two bats­ men had been separated the innings came quickly to a close, the last nine wickets only realising an aggregate of 61 runs. Mr. Rock’s bowling was again very effective. His five wickets cost 76 runs. With 340 to win Cambridge commenced their second innings at 6.40 on Tuesday. Messrs. Orford and Rock were the batsmen, and as only twenty min­ utes remained for play both acted strictly on the defensive, so much so that fourteen overs were delivered for only one run, andthat a bye. On resuming yesterday the earlier batsmen of Cambridge played up with great pluck, and while Messrs. Buxton and Bainbridge were partners there was quite a chance that the game might at least be saved. At five o’clock the total was 190 for the loss of only four wickets, with the two batsmen named well in. Aiter this, though, an extraordinary collapse set in. Mr. Buckland’s slow round arm bowl­ ing proved remarkably successful, and the last six wickets were secured for an addition of only 16 runs—Oxford thus gaining an un­ expected easy victory. Mr. Buckland bowled 28 overs and 1 ball (21 maidens) for 19 runs and five wickets—exceptionally,good figures. Mr. Bainbridge’s 79 was in every respect a meritorious innings. H e gave nothing like a chance as far as we could see, and his play,was thoroughly up to the excellent form he has shown this summer. Of the 52 matches now played Cambridge has won 26 and Oxford 24.
