260 OEIOKBTi A WSEKLf BEOOBD O f THE GAME; JULY 12, 1894 PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN 1894. C h e l t e n h a m C o l le g e . — The College played R.A.C. Cirencester on Saturday last, and after a most exciting match, won six minute? before time by 126 runs. The College batt d first on a splendid wicket, and scored 305 for seven wickets before declaring. Jeffery played a splendid innings of 75 without a chance, and Barrett scored 65 during the 60 minutes he was batting. Stratton (33), Graham (37 not out), and Champain (54), all scored freely. Cirencester had two hours and haif batting, 140 was up with only three men out, but then two fine catches by Graham in the deep altered the aspect of the game, and Stratton bowling right well, the last five men could only put on 40 be­ tween them. Mr. Day and Cliff showed the College how they could hit, and the catches which got rid of them were really brilliant. S h e b b o r n e . — On July 3 the eleven played South W ilts, and won an exciting match just before time by 77 runs, The School batted first, and Stevens (69), Atfeinson (28), Eidout (86), and Wyatt-Smith (26 not out) all played well; the rest, with the exception of Part­ ridge (15) did little, and Stevens closed the innings at 249 for nine wickets. South Wilts made 172, W. Challis 63. Partridge took seven wickets for 44 runs. On July 6 and 7 the eleven played the M.C.C. Richardson and Titchmarsh wfre their bowlers and Mycroft the wicket-keeper. The School batted first"; Stevens (17) and Atkinson (7) were out at 24, but Ridout (48) and Wyatt-Smith (58) added 94 runs for the next wicket. Then Dixon came in and played a remarkably fine inuings of 126 (not out), hitting with great freedom; at drawing of stumps on Friday the score stood at 332 for seven wickets (Partridge not out 20). The M.C.C. could only get 168 in their first innings (Jackson 29, Mycroft 39 not out). Partridge and Radford bowled well. Follow­ ing on the M.C.C. were dismissed for 121 (Mycroft 32), Stevens taking five wickets for 21 and Radford two for 19. Thus the School gained a glorious victory by an innings and 43 runs. To-morrow (Friday) and Saturday Sherborne play Bradfield College at Brad­ field. G E N T L E M E N v. P L A Y E R S . T h e L o r d ’ s M atch . T h e G entlem en had am ple revenge fo r their defeat o f last w eek at th e O val in th e return m atch, played at L o rd ’s on M onday and T uesday.

T h e eleven w hich represented the G entlem en in the second fixture w as stronger than that w h ich had done duty fo r them at the O val, A. E . S toddart, G . M cG regor, S. M J. W oods, H . T .

W oods and Jack son very difficult in a bad light, and after W ard, C hatterton, B rockw ell, and Briggs had been dism issed fo r 49, an appeal to the um pires caused the gam e to be suspended ow ing to the d efective li^ht. On the follow in g m orning G unn, the overnight n ot out, w as b ow led fo r a single, and in the sam e over M r. Jackson also caught and b ow led the next com er, L ock w ood .
