The six remaining wickets, though, fell without arun, so that the result was a tie. June 9—Lord’s, Middlesex v. Gloucester­ shire. S. W. Scott scored 224 out of a total of 523 by Middlesex.

June 21—Oval, Surrey v. Hertfordshire. In the two days 955 runs were made with only twenty-six wickets down. The run-getting was the more remarkable as play could not be commenced on the first day till 12.15, and rain caused one interval of over half-an-hour that afiernoon. June 22.—Leeds, Yorkshire v.

June 24—Winchester, Eton College v. Winchester College. J. B. Mason scored 147 and 71 for Winchester. His 147 is the best on record, not only in Winchester Meads but in this match. We believe, too, it is the best Winchester record in a school match. He also took eight Eton wickets for 139 runs. June 25—Brighton, Sussex v. Oxford University. Oxford won by 10 runs. June 25—Leatherhead, Leatherhead v. Addiscombe. One of the Addiscombe team hit a ball hard to extra mid-off, and backed up with a view if possible to make a run. The ball having been fielded was thrown in to the striker’s wicket, and he popped his bat down within the crease while standing outside himself. The ball happened to hit the ground in front of the bat, and knocked it (i.e., the bat) up slightly. While it was so lifted, the ball hit the wicket, and the bats­ man had according^ to retire “ run out.” June 25—Charterhouse, School v. West­ minster School. Westminster, after scoring 249, were beaten by an in­ nings. G. O. Smith, the captain, scored 229 out of 360 for Charter­ house. June 25—Oval, One and All v. St. Mark’s. In three hours, 285 runs were scored for fourteen wickets. St. Mark’s got the last 150 in eighty minutes. June 27—Oval, Surrey v. Gloucestershire. J. J.

It was the first time three hundreds had been made, and Cambridge’s second total of 388 ties with the highest previous in­ nings (also by Cambridge) in 1872. M. B. Jardine’s aggregate of 179 (140 and 39) for Oxford is, too, the best so far in the match. July 1—Oval, Surrey v. Scotland. K. J. Key and Henderson added 172 for Surrey’s sixth wicket. July 1—Bradford, Yorkshire v. Leicester­ shire. Yorkshire made 509 for six wickets on the second day of the match, and then closed their innings.
