[England was beaten by Australia on Satur­ day afternoon by ten wickets.] They went in gaily for their side, But filled their foes with glee ; Their bails were scattered far and wide, By South Australiee. Their mother country wept that night, O’er each unlucky b a t; She ne’er had seen more painful sight— What were those dreamers at ? One, from the county of the West, Was somewhat in the shade ; The Indian was not at his best, For he a duck’s egg made. The sea, the Brighton sea, sent one— His batting made ua weep ; The hope of Warwickshire made none— Or nothing very steep. One from the South, with Surrey’s crest, Fought well ’ere he was slain ; One was a new and welcome guest— He hit with might and main. And one—o’er him no foeman tow’rs— Twice made a noble stand ; Another held his ground for hours, The captain of the band. And then, alas ! the rest who played In this same company, Who twenty-nine between them made, Rhodes, Mead, and Tyldesley ! But two of these tried with the ball, To do their level best. Alas ! for us, if this were all. And not another test! SUSSEX v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at Brighton on June 19 and 20. Sussex won by 10 wickets. Frequently this match at Brighton has been pro­ ductive of exceedingly high scoring, for as a rule neither side has been strong in bowling, while the wicket has nearly always been in \ erfect order. But on Sunday it rained hard in Brighton, with the result that Mr. Brann, who in the absence of Mr. Murdoch, captained the Sussex team, took the risk of putting Cambridge in. He was not left in doubt very long as to whether his manoeuvre would be successlul, for the wickets fell before Bland and Tate like corn in harvest, Mr. Penn and Mr. W inter alone breaking the monotony of the proceedings. The former, who by his very sound cricket against the Australians had created a very favourable impression among connoiseurs, played an innings which was of very great value to his side. There would have been nothing remarkable to chronicle in the Sussex innings if it had not been for the t-plendid batting of Ranjitsinhji, who, like Mr. fr y at Portsmouth, speedily showed that his two innings at Lord’s were not to be taken as samples of his present foim . Be played a game which w as suitable to the occasion, hitting with great power, and often lifting the b all; he was only at the wickets for an hour and a half in making his 107. Thanks to him and to a good 30 by Mr. Smith, as well as a careful 28 not out by Mr. Newham, Sussex seemed to have a good thing on at the end o f the innings. Mr. Jessop bowled exceed­ ingly well. Cambridge lost a wicket for 21 before play ended for the day. The batting of nearly all their best men again broke down on Tuesday morn­ ing. but Mr. Moon played a good game and the tail distinguished itself, Mr. Penn, for the second time in the match, making the highest score on the side and also carrying his bat. Sussex had no difficulty in knocking off the runs. C am bridge U n iv e r sity . First innings Second innings. E. R. W ilson, b Bland ...1 3 c Bland, b Tate... 9 L. J.

Jessop bowled a no-ball. NOTTS v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Nottingham on June 19, 20 and 21. Notts won by an ini ings and 180 runs. On a wicket which had been spoiled by rain the Derbyshire batsmen collapsed before Wass and Bottom, but the Notts men, under more favourable circumstances, did very much better before stumps were drawn, when they had a lead of nearly a hundred with six wickets still in hand. Their success was chiefly due to a long partnership between Shrewsbury and Gunn, who put on 139 for the second wicket in two hours and a-half. Shrewsbury did not hurry himself, but did the best possible thing in keeping Gunn company—the latter was in great form. On Tuesday Mr. Dixon and Mason made another big stand of an hour and three-quarters, and although the tail did very little, the total was laTge. Derby­ shire, with a balance of nearly two hundred against them, began fairly well, but when two men in their second innings were run out the team collapsed. D er b ysh ir e . First innings.
