The rain, which has ruined so many im­ portant fixtures during the last few weeks, is no respecter of persons. Of late years, indeed, the elements have frowned rather than smiled when Eton has met Harrow at Lord’s. This year they were as unrelenting as they have been latterly, and, as a consequence, the sixty- fourth match between the two schools was robbed of all its interest. Owing to the copious rainfall earlier in the week it was doubtful, even had the weather kept up on Friday, if the wicket would have been fit at the time for commencing. As it was, heavy showers prevented the delivery of a ball on Friday, and, as there was hardly any chance of the completion of the game on Saturday, the exoitement gsnerally associatad with the finish was lacking. On paper Harrow seemed to have decidedly the best of the outlook this year. Only one member of the Eton eleven of 1889—G. B. Gosling—had remained for this summer, and, owing to ill-health, he was unable to play either against Winchester or at Lord’s. On the other hand, no less than six old choices were available for Harrow, and among them several of the most useful members of last year’s team. An early com­ mencement was made on Saturday, and at 10.30 M’Laren, who had lost the toss, led the Harrow eleven out into the field. Brewis and Studd were Eton’s first batsmen, and so cau­ tiously did they play that at the end of an hour the score was only 25. After this, though, Brewis commenced to hit much more freely, and the total was quickly raised to 69 before he fell to a good catch at long-on. He might have been caught twice, the first time at long-on when he had got 34, and again at short-slip when his score was 42. These mis­ takes notwithstanding, his 44 was a very promising display of cricket. After his de­ parture came a complete collapse, and seven wickets fell in quick succession for an addition of 17 runs. At the last, though, Dickinson played well for his 22, and the innings closed for 108, the last nine wickets having been dis­ missed for 49 runs. Harrow began batting at 1.50 with M’Laren and Barlow, and in the ten minutes that remained before luncheon 18 were scored without the loss of awicket. On re­ suming Barlow was out lbw at 20, and so little help did M’Laren receive that when the sixth wicket fell the total was only 82. Butler was the first to render him real assistance, and he stayed till the score was 120, when M’Laren was bowled. The latter, who had been batting for an hour and fifty-five minutes, had made 76 without anything like a mistake, and as a display of good cricket, combining sound de­ fence with free hitting when required, it was an unexceptionable performance. None of the remaining batsmen gave any trouble, and the innings came to an end for 133, or only 25 in advance of the Eton score. Cooper, as the analysis will show, was very successful, his three wickets only costing 5 runs. An hour and fifty minutes were left for play when Eton went in again, and they made the best use of the time. Studd was bowled at 21, but Brewis and Hoare scored freely off the Harrow bowl­ ing, and 42 were added before the latter was bowled for a freely-hit 32. Brewis, who had again played capital cricket, was bowled at 97, but Pilkington and Dickinson made another stand, and at seven o’clock they were still in, the former having played particularly well for his 38. The game was thus drawn, Eton being 95 on with seven wickets still to fall. The Eton eleven certainly created amuchmore favourable impression than was generally ex­ pected, and considering that they were all new to Lord’s, deserve every credit for the good show theymade. Brewis, Pilkington, A. R. Hoare and R. A. Studd, the last of the brotherhood, who has great defence, appeared to be the most likely batsmen. The best play of the day, though, was that of the Har­ row Captain, M’Laren, and as he has defence as well as hit, he should train on. Gowans kept wicket well for Harrow. The bowl­ ing did not appear to be formidable on either side. Harrow has now 27, Eton 26, of the 64matches played. The other eleven have been drawn. E t o n . First Innings.
