After three days of interesting cricket the Six­ teen won this, the last of the trial matches, on Saturday afternoon with fourteen wickets to spare. The chief feature of the first day’s cricket was the brilliant batting of the Repton Freshman, C. B. Fry. Going in first with the score at 26, he made 105 out of 226 during the three hours he was in. Bis inniDgs, which was entirely without a fault, fully maintained the promise of his big score in the Freshmen’s Match. While his defence was good, he lost no opportunity of scoring, and his hitting all round was particularly clean and hard. Among his hits were two 6 ’s, one over the pavilion. As a display of vigorous cricket, how­ ever, Fry’s performance was eclipsed by that of R. H. Raphael, on Friday. Raphael, who was in the Wcllineton College E'even last year, scored at an extraordinary rate. In less than an hour ho had made 101 runs, and an idea of the severity of his hitting can be gathered from the fact that there were only five singles and four 2 ’s in his score, which included no less than twenty-two 4’s. As far as we could see, too, there was no actual chance to detract from the merit of an exceptional performance. In their second innings the Eleven made a very bad start, and the score was only 50 when the fifth wicket fell. The old Wykehamist, B. L. Richmond, who had shown excellent cricket in the first innings, was again seen to very great advantage, and as Boger and Wilson also played np pluckily, a tetter show was made. Richmond’s 70 was only marred by one mistake when he had made 54. In the match, as will be seen, he scored 127 runs. At the finish the Sixteen had 79 to get to win, and these were got in under the hour for the loss of one batsman. T he E leven . First Innings. Second Innings. L. C. H.

CAMBRIDGE. After having all the worst of the first hands on Thursday the Cambridge Eleven played up in such fine form that in the end they were able to claim a very creditable victory, with 97 runs to spare. Mr. A. J. Webbe, who took up the match in Mr. Thornton’s absence, had collected a very strong side, which enhances the merit of the University’s performance. Cambridge had all its seven old choices available, and the remaining places were filled by three seniors—Messrs. Gay, who had kept wicket with success for Hampshire; N. C. Cooper, an old Brightonian.who, after playing in all the trial matches, just missed his blue last year; Bromley Davenport, an old Etonian, a fast left- handed bowler; and one Freshman, J. Douglas, from Dulwich, a younger brother of R. N., a slow left-handed bowler and right-handed bat. Winning the toss, Mr. Webbe’s Eleven were in till past four o’clock on Thursday for a total of 215. The chief credit of this performance rested with Messrs. Murdoch and Hewett. The latter hit with his wonted freedom, in contrast to Murdoch, who played a watchful game. The latter ought to have been caught when he had got two, but otherwise there was no fault during his innings of two hours and a half. A total of 215 was not thought to be a very heavy task for Cambridge to face, particularly on a fast wicket. The play generally though was disappointing and, excepting that of Messrs. Jack­ son and Weigall, was very tame. As it was, too, thair score of 117would have teen smaller had the fielding only been up to the mark. Mr. Jackson, though he hit freely, had considerable luck, bein? missed three times. Mr. Ferris’ bowling was par­ ticularly successful at the end of the imjings. He took five wickets at a cost of only twenty-five runs. On going in a second time Meesrs. R. N. Douglas and Cooper gave a foretaste of what was in store for the fielding side. These two batemen put on 115 runs for the first wicket, and though for a time things went badly, later on Messrs. J. Douglas, Jackson, and Bromley-Davenport were all seen to advantage, lh e two first named added 92 runs for the seventh wicket, and the Captaiu’s batting this time was worthy of the highest praise. Bromley-Davenport’s free hitting, too, was quite a feature of the latter part of the innings. On Saturday Mr. Thornton’s Eleven had 271 to get to win, and this on a rather slower wicket proved to be beyond their power. As before the most note­ worthy feature of the innings was the batting of Mr. Murdoch. Going in second wicket down with the score at 27 he was eighth to go at 162. He was in two hours and a quarter, and there was nothing like a mistake to detract from an excep­ tionally good display of careful cricket. Messrs. Webbe and Vernon offered some assistance, but the University had always plenty in hand and when the last wicket fell there was a margin of 97 runs in their favour. Bromley Davenport was the most successful bowler, taking four wickets for 22 runs. M r . A. J. W ebbe ’ s XI. First Innings. Second Innings. C.
