B y “ V.C.” In the month of mirth and roses, when the birds begin to feather ; When the weather guage discloses evfry mortal kind of weal her. When it rains on us on Friday, when we catch a chill on Sunday, When we’re treated to a tidy little thunderstorm on Monday. When the weather-clerk turns skittish, and from Ramsay unto Romney Scatters samples of our British summer, e t hoc genus om ne. Hail that patters, helter-skelter, bolts of thunder from the blue, Rain, and shine, and storm, and swelter— it U too, too much too too! But against the English summer we are always well provided, Though at times between the cummer­ bund and greatcoat undecided And when June, with rain and roses, comes along, we turn to cricket, And resolve what kind of clothes is best for watching at the wicket. To the Oval and the battle of the Cambridge Blues and Surrey, Past the Elephant with rattle in a fair-priced cab we hurry. And we bear it altogether very bravely, though wet through, When at first for play the weather is too utterly too too!

K e n t . —Owing to heavy rain on Monday and 1uesday, the fround at Bradford was yesterday in such an unplayable condition that the match was given up. SURREY v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Surrey and Cambridge University will be occu­ pied for the who e ( f the present week in <ppo-i- lion. In the first match, played *t the Oval on Monday and Tuesday, the University were hardly seen to advantage at any point, and the result w««s an easy win for the County. Mr. Doug as was unable to play owing to examinations, but he was the only absentee of note from the Cambridge eleven. Owing to the he vy rainfall on Mond y irornine a start could not be made till after luncheon. The University captain won the toss but on the slow wicket the majority of the bats­ men were faulty in their timing, a 1 d in two hours the side were all out for 74 Richardson bow ed with remarkable success, and of the eight bats­ men he dismissed seven were »owled. Surrey in their turn began in very promising style, Abel and Hayward putting on fifty in forty-five minute*. After their separation Mitchell, who bowls medium pace right, proved very effective, so much so that he was cred ted with five of the seven wickets down when play «eised on Monday. Then Surrey were only 38 to the rood, and there was apparently no certainty cf a long lead. As it was, Brockwell, who played very fine cri<ket on Tuesday, found useful partners in both Smith and Marshall. The wicket-keeper hit with su h resolution that 75 w<re added in forty-five mi utes 1 r the last wicket. Of these Marshall contributed 4 i by really good all-round cricket. Though a little uneasy ove night, Brockw-11 batted in excellent style on Tuesday, and his fifty-one net out, was altogether deserving of prai e Going in again in a minority of 148 Cambridge made a slightly better start. This time Lockwood started the bowling with Smith, and at luncheon ihe score was 27 with i rabtree out. Subsequently Richardson and Lockwood shared the bowling, and he ped by the ground proved so successful that the next reven wickets only added; 6 . Mitchell alone of the earlier batsmen made any stay, but Perkins agam hit freely and while Robir son was in with him some good cricket was shown. When Perkins was caught the end soon came, and by four o'clock on ■uesoay, Sur ey had won by an innings and 63 runs. In the match Richardson took twelve Cambridge wickets for (9, Lockwood eight for 54. AMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. First Innii gs. Second Innings. Mr. P. H.
