THE MATCH AT LORD’ S. Played on July 10, 11 and 12. Gentlemen won by an innings and 59 runs. Only four of the Gentlemen who appeared at the Oval \ook part in this match, and only six of the Players, of whom two were not originally chosen. W ith everything favourable for run getting, it was a matter of extreme importance which side went in first, for both t ams were very strong in batting. Tbe cricket shown by the Gentlemen on Monday was excellent, but it was on the whole far from being exciting, for hardly any of the batsmen ever succeeded in obtaining a mastery over the bow litg, which was uniformly gcod. At the leginning of tne game the Players were particularly anxious to dispose of MacLaren, for he at once began to score so rapidly that if he had been aliowea to stay lor very long things would have been awkward. As it was, he played a most interesting innings, t coring 31 out of 4£ for the first wicket. Meanwhile Fry was j laying himself in with the utmost care—possibly he may have been trying to find out whether he could succeed in playing the same game as his usual first wicket partner in the Sussex team—and it was a long time before he showed any signs of his customary biilliant style. Like MacLaren, the Indian Prince seemed to have settled down to a long innings when he lifted a ball to third man. Townsend came in, and played as he had played at the Oval, tu t scoring a little faster, while Fry began to wake up, and the partnership produced 115 runs in an hour and fifty-five minutes. Three wickets were down for 225, a total which was most satisfactory. Shortly afterwards Fry was out. He was at the wickets for three hours and a quarter, and followed up his fine innings of 162 notout against Yorkshire by making another hundred. In the latter part of his innings ne was quite himself. Jackson played another tine innings, but he, like Major Poore, was out just when he was becoming very dangerous, and six wickets were down for 309. This was still a satisfactory state of affairs, but the outlook was even better at the end of the day, for Grace and Mason brought the total to 373 without being separated. A S eat deal of rain fell in the London district on onday night, but very little of it found its way to Lord’s, and everything was again easy. The Doctor and Mason continued to play fine cricket, and were not parted until they had put on IcO runs while they were together. W .G . was run out, Mason calling him for a short run, and Mead, who fielded the ball, throwing at the right wicket, instead of adopting the course which seems usual among professionals. Grace, who Legan slowly, played as good cricket as he had done at the Oval on Saturday afternoon, which is saying very much. After his dismissal the end soon came. Mason was in excellent form. It was a big total that the Players had to go in against, and as Abel did not repeat his success of last week, and as Brown did not get going, the start was disappoint­ ing. Hayward, as usual, kept up his end, when things were looking bad for his side, and Ward also did well, tu t despite their efforts, 5 wickets were down for about 150, Hayward having played peifect cricket for 77, scoring faster than usual. This seemed to point to a follow-on, and in a short time the whole team was out. '1he cause of the breakdown in the batting was the lob bowling of Jephson, who had a day of triumph such as used occasionally to fall to the lot of Mr. Y . E. Walker and Walter Humphreys. He had the pleasure of disposing of two of the Surrey team, Lockwood and ±1ayward, and one after another of the Players fell before him, for the most part tiying to hit him out of the ground. For a lob bowler to take six wickets for 21 runs in eighteen overs and four balls is truly a remarkable feat. The fielding of the Gentlemen was brilliant in the extreme, andif MacLaren attracted more attentiou than anyone else it was because he had liner opportunities, of which he made the most. The running catch by which he disposed of Hind on the boundary brought down the house. In the follow on the Players fared badly in the three-quarters of an hour which remained for play—stumps were drawn at seven o’clock— losing Brockwell and Brown for 44. A little rain fell during the morning of yesterday, and it did not improve the wicket. Some good batting was shown, for there were men in the Players X L who can generally make runs under any conditions whatever, but the Gentlemen always had the upper hand. In this innings most of the wickets if 11to uradley, who would have done even better if the the luck had not peisistently gone against him. G en tlem en . A. C. MacLaren, Lockwood ...........31 C. B.
