In the majority of Freshmen’s matches the batsmen havemost of the fun to them­ selves, but this year the bowlers had some chance of distinguishing themselves. Nevertheless, there was some fine batting, eepetiallyby A. H . Hoinby, a son of Mr. A. N. Hornby, W. N. Pilkington, J. 0. Tabor, and O. W. Wright. Fernie, White, and Biddell among the bowlers did best; but, as far as can be seen at present, none of the Freshmen are likely to find a place on the roll of fame by the side of A. G. Steel, S. M. J. Woods, and other famous Cambridge bowlers. M r. N. F. D ru ce ’ s Side. Second innings. lbw, b White ... 2 c Smith, b Fernie 7 First mnicgs. T. L. Taylor, c Carter, b Wright ..................... J.
