The success of the county eleven was due in a great measure to the bowling of Humphreys and Arthur Hide. To the former, whose lobs have gener­ ally proved effective against Australian teams, notably those of 1880 and 1884, more than to any one else belongs the credit of a well deserved triumph. In the match, as will be seen, he got nine wickets in 18 overs and three balls for 40 runs. Besides getting eight wickets from his own bowling Arthur Hide caught five of the Australian batsmen. The latter, we believe, received a silver cup for the best all-round cricket on the Sussex side, S ussex . Second Innings, c Jarvis, b Ferris .........26 • 2 c Trott, b Ferris 30 First Innings.

SUSSEX Thfc Australian team brought a week begun in moat auspicious fashion with a brilliant viotory over England, to a far less satisfactory close, being defeated at Brighton on Saturday by Sussex with 58 runs to sparei The rain prevalent throughout England last Wednes­ day had caused the wicket to be very slow, and the scores were considerably below the average of the Brighton ground. The chief feature of the innings of Sussex, who went in first, was the batting of Mr. Newham. Going in writh one wicket down, he was not out at the close, having scored 44, or just one-half of the aggregate from the bat. Free from chances, it was altogether an admirable dis­ play of cricket. Small as the County’s total was, it was too much for the Australians, as events proved; Trott played well for his 24, but of tne other batsmen Blaokhamand Jarvis were alone able to get double figures, and, indeed, eight of the eleven together only got 14 runs between them. The Australian inning*, indeed, lasted an hour and a half, a icesult due to the good bowling of Arthur Hide and Humphreys, the latter ef whom took five wickets with his lobs for 21 runs. Com­ mencing their second innings with a lead of 30 runa, Sussex showed to better advantage, and chiefly through the good play of Mr. Gressoa and Quaifet,the total was 74 with only three wiikets down when play ceased for the day. Rain in the early morning had affected the wicket prejudicially when play was re­ sumed on Friday, and an hour suffioed for the dismissal of the remaining batsmen of Sussex. Turner bowled with great effect, and the seven wicketa left were only equal to an addition of 42 runs. Left with 147 to win, the Australians in their second innings shaped so badly against Humphreys’ lobs, that at ten minutes past three o’clock, when rain stopped play for the day, six of the best batsmen on the side had been dismissed for only 35 runs. Humphreys, who was only tried at 20 , got four of the last five wickets—two in his first over with following balls. Turner hit with great freedom on Saturday morning, and just for a moment it looked as if an Australian victory was possible. After seeing Trott as well as Lyons depart, and scoring 39 out of 49 runs by extremely good cricket, Turner was bowled, and with his dismissal the last hope was gone. Edwards, the last man, gave Ferris small assi 9 ta*(?e, and when the fowner was caught Total Total...116 A ustralians . First Innings. Second Innings. A. C. Bannerman, b A.

In addition to this Mr. Woods had strained himself badly in bowling for Somersetshire at the end of last week, and though he played he was compara­ tively of little use. As a consequence the quality of the Cambridge bowling suffered materially, and this was the more to be re­ gretted, as in spite of the heavy rains up to the commencement of the match the wicket played easily throughout. Mr. Thornton winning the toss took the innings, and thanks to the excellent cricket of Messrs. A. P. Lucas, whose re-appearance in first-class crioket after a long absence was very welcome, and Sut­ thery, at lunch time the score was sixty- three with only one wicket down. So far, the game had gone very well for Cam­ bridge, but, after the two batsmen were separated at 80, it underwent a turn in favour of the Australians, aud the total only reached 137. Mr. Lucas was in two hours and twenty minutes for his score of 50, got without a fault of any kind. When the Australians went in, McDonnell and Trott were got rid of cheaply, but Bannermanand Bonnor gave more trouble, and, at the end of the day, the total was 74 for the loss of two wickets. The ground con­ tinued to play easily on Tuesday, and Bonnor found it sd much to his liking that, after a time, he scored fast. When he had got 66 , he was missed by inid-off, who ought to have run him out from the same ball. He only added twelve, though, before he was caught at cover- point, having made 78 out of 105 while he was in, an admirable display of cricket in every way. The Cambridge fielding fell off greatly as the innings advanced, and Jarvis and Edwards both helped Bannerman with useful scores. Blackham, owing to a severe cold, was unable to bat, and the innings conse­ quently closed with the fall of the ninth wicket. Bannerman, who went in first, was not out at the close. He was at the wickets, in all, for six hours and ten minutes, and, as a display of careful, judicious batting. His inningswas worthy of the highest praise,with­ out a chance, as far as we could see. In the twenty minutes left on Tuesday night, Messrs. Thornton and McGregor put on 28 runs, and, as there was no play yesterday, the game was left in the same position, Cambridge being 160 behind, with all ten wickets to fall in the second innings.

CAM­ BRIDGE UNIVERSITY PAST AND PRESENT. Though rain prevented any play yesterday, the management of the Essex County Club had, in this season of apparently interminable wet, some reason for satisfaction that the game was practically free from a check at Leyton on the two first days of the eleven selected to ojtyT? week.
