In batting especially there was undoubtedly an am ount of talent quite out o f the comm on. The result o f the game fully confirm ed the general an­ ticipation in this respect. The run-getting was abnorm al throughout, so m uch so, indeed, that 1437 runs were scored in the three days with only seven wickets down, a higher aggregate than has yet been reached in one of these trial m atches. Mr. Brain’s side were in the whole of Thursday after­ noon for a big total o f 455. G. J. Mordaunt, of W ellington, and G. O. Smith, of Charterhouse, two of the best Public School batsm en o f 1892, laid the foundation of this large score. Thanks to their brilliant cricket 123 runs were put on for the first w icket and 210 was up before the second batsman was out. Tow ards the close of the innings Com es and Biass scored freely, and in the end the result was a total o f over 450 runs. G ood as this show was, it was eclipsed by Mr. Palairefc’s side on the following day. During the afternoon 463 runs were made, so that they headed the previous score by 8 runs. The chief m erit of a fine perform ance rested with Clayton o f last year’s Harrow Eleven. Batting with rem arkable freedom, he scored 2:30 out of 391 in about four hours. His first mistake was when he had made 186, and this was followed by tw o other chances. His batting, on the on side in particular, was very hard and well tim ed. The wicket even on the third day was in rare order for run-getting, and both sides took full advantage o f their opportunities. After making 285 with only three batsm en out, Mr. Brain closed his innings. Mordaunt again played very fine cricket, and Raikes, who was very successful as the Shrewsbury captain last year, also batted with great freedom. In the m atch alto­ gether M ordaunt scored 184 for once out. Though Mr. Palairet’s side were left with less than two hours to play at the finish, they made brilliant use o f it. Clayton again proved his capabilities as a batsm an, and his record for the m atch showed 300 runs for once out. Leveson Gower, last year’s W inchester captain, too, showed exceptionally good cricket. His score of 111 occupied less than an hour and an half, and his batting was hardly, if at all, inferior to any in the m atch. As many as 234 runs were got for the loss of two wickets in the last two hours, so that the very high rate of scoring was m aintained to the last. The game was ultim ately drawn, Mr. Palairet’s side having m ade 234 o f the 278 wanted to win for the loss of only two wickets. H. K. Foster, of last year’s Malvern Eleven, and R. P. Lewis, the W inchester wicket-keeper o f 1892, were not able to play in this match. M r . W . H. B rain ’ s S id e .—F irst Innings. G. J.

SIX TE E N FRESHM 3N. Some high scoring, if not quite up to the level of the two preceding gam es,marked the third of the trial m atches under the auspices of the University C.C., finished yesterday. The Freshm en,who were strengthened by the addition o f H. K. Foster, who scored so heavily at Malvern last year, and R. P. Lewis, theW inchester wicket-keeper, made a good start. Leveson-Gower and M ordaunt scored 105 for the first wicket, and though several of the others, of w hom m uch was expected, failed, notably Smith, Raikes, and Clayton, the hero of last week’s m atch, the result was a creditable total of 326. The best batting on the side was that of M ordaunt,whowas at the wickets two hours and a quarter without a mistake. The Eleven in their turn began in anything but prom ising style. The first stand, indeed, was by Fry and Bathurst, whose partnership for the sixth wicket also realised 105 runs. Bathurst was in for two hours for his 27, while Fry,when he got set, hit all-round freely. He was in not quite three hours, and his 92 only contained one chance,when he had got 74. A useful stand subsequently by Boger and W ood, who were still together at the finish, brought the total on Tuesday night to 237 for seven wickets, which was increased yesterday to 280 before the innings closed. In the second innings o f the Freshmen, although Bathurst bowled with considerable success. Several batsm en were seen to advantage. M ordaunt again played well, and Arkwright a second tim e snowed capital cricket. Barlow, the Harrow Captain of 1892, too, followed up his first innings with another good display. W ith the total 180 for eight wickets, the Freshm en closed their inniups, leaving the Eleven with 227 to win. There was practically no chance then of a definite finish, and when time was up 131 had been got for the loss of three batsmen. Fry was again successful, but the best cricket was shown by the captain, who carried out his bat for 61. S ixteen F reshmen First Innings. *Second Innings. H. D. Leveson-Gower, bL .
