Oxford University v. Cambridge University, at Lord’s. June 27th. 28th and 29th. In the second innings of the former, when Mr. C. F. H . Leslie had made 8, he apparently returned one hard to Mr. A . F. J. Ford, which the bowler secured, high up, with one hand. Mr. Ford threw th® ball up, and. as the Cambridge eleven applauded, Mr. Leslie retired, under the impression that he was out. Meanwhile Mr. W . H.
