156 CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 23, 1895. CRICKET AT CAMBRIDGE. UNIVERSITY v. GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND (with Roberts). Mr. A. J. Webbe had a very powerful batting team for this trial match commenced at Cambridge on Monday. W. G. Grace and Stoddart scored 100 in less than an hour and runs came freely until at 130 Grace was well caught in the long field for 62. Stoddart soon followed for a freely hit 84, with twelve 4’s, but marred by two chances. Hewett hit in splendid form for 109 made in an hour and three-quarters. He had one 5, eleven 4’ s, and it will be noticed that of 329 runs from the bat, the three batsmen named scored 245. There waslittle to call for comment in the Cantabs’ first innings, except W. G. Druce’s capital not out 40 and they failed to save the follow on. At the seeond attempt they were still less successful and seven wickets fell for 99. Marriott and Robinson made the only stand of the innings adding 73, still all the sidewere out for 179; leaving 31 only for the other side to make to win. Bromley-Davenport had seven wickets in the match for 54 a capital performance. The Gentlemen soon brought the match to a conclusion, winning as will be seen with nine wickets to spare.

SUSSEX. L ancashire . The first day’s play of this season at Old Trafford Ground on Monday, was slow and uninteresting. Sussex werein for three hours and a quarter, and scored just arun a minute. The wicket was fairly fast, but at one end, kicked up awkwardly. Bean was out before a run was scored, but Marlow and Ranjitsinhji made 62 in three quarters of an hour, when both were out, together with Murdoch. Brann and Newham, played well together, and by lunch time, had raised the [score to 115. The invaluable partnership was resumed after the interval, and produced 83 runs. Brann made 56, including seven 4’s. The rest of the side did but little against Mold who clean bowled seven of the eight wickets which fell to him. Lancashire did not begin well, but Ward and Tinsley put on 47 for the third wicket, and then Baker and Briggs made 76 whilst they were together. The later batsmen did even better, Smith and Tindall added 100 in seventy minutes, and the last named hit­ ting eight 4’s in his 58 ; as a result Sussex were 99 behind on the first innings. In the second venture of Sussex, Bean, who gave a chance ,at 21, soon hit up 42, but he was out as well as Marlow play ceased on Tuesday with the score 74 On the resumption yesterday, Ranjitsinhji was stumped for an addition of five runs, having been in an hour and a quarter for his 46. Murdoch was in some time for his addition of 22, but afterwards Briggs bowled with great effect. With Butt absent, there were only nine wickets to fall, and in the end the innings closed for 157, the morning’s play having only realised 83 runs. Briggs took six wickets for an average of j ust over seven runs. With 59 to win, Lancashire began badly, losing Albert Ward with the score only eight. Sugg soon lost Paul and Tinsley, who both failed to score; Baker, however, lent him useful assistance, and the pair won the match for Lancashire with seven wickets to spare.

Somerset, who had been defeated in the previous week by Cambridge. The County were without J. B. Challen, G. Fowler and Nichols, and Raikes and Fry were not avail­ able for Oxford. The wicket was not good and bumpad at one end. The County had first innings and Palairet and Woods started briskly, 32 going up for the first wieket in fifteen mfnutes. Then Arkwright was so successful that half the side were out far 64. No stand indeed was made until 8 wickets had fallen for 107. Stanley, who had played with great patience and care, was then joined by Bucknell, and the pair put on 55 in less than an hour. Stanley’s 53 which occupied two hours and forty minutes, in­ cluded six 4’s, a 3, and six 2’s, and contained no chance. Arkwright’s bowling was the feature of the innings. Runs came more easily when the University went in to bat and Warner and Bardswell put on 95 for the first wicket. The old Rugby captain, who had seven 4’s in his excellent 52, should have been caught in the slips. The third wicket (Bardswell’s) fell at 167, but excepting the Captain’ s fine display of 70 made in 75 minutes, and in­ cluding ten 4’s, no one else did much, so that Somerset were only 85 behind. Of these Woods and L. Palairet ran up 73 before the former was out for 48 made in 25 minutes. On resuming yesterday, three more good wickets fell for an addition of only 32 runs. Phillips who was missed at the wicket when he had made fifteen, and Leveson-Gower, however, scored freely, and 111 had been added when the latter was caught at the wicket for a well played 65. Phillips soon followed and with Cunliffe also out at 85, the result was very doubtful. Twenty-seven were wanted to win and three wickets to fall, when Arkwright and Hartley became partners and with twelvemoreon the latter was bowled, Lewis who followed was caught, but Ark­ wright played with greatpluck andwithForbes won a very exciting match for the University with only one wicket to spare.
