156 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. M a y 24, 1900. OXKO i; 1) UNIVERSITY v. LONDON COUNTV. m r . F o s t e r ’ s t h ir d h u n d r e d in s u c c e s s iv e . INNINGS. Played at Oxford on May 21, 22, and 23. Oxford University won by an innings and 330 runs. It was unfortunate (hat Dr. Grace was compelled to take down such a-> extremely weak team, for with absolutely no bowlers exc°pt himself and Braund. he was not able to afford the Oxford men any useful practie3. As Oxford won he toss they naturally made a very 1ig score against such weak bowling. Mr. Foster made another huudred—his third in suc- ccs?sve in n in g— ind smote the Doctor unmercifully at times, once hitting him four times following for six, after getting his hand iu by hitting braund for a six in the previous over. It was most decide fly Saturday afternoon cricket of a very taking variety while he and Mr. Bosanquet were together. Mr. Foster made 169 in two hours and a half, and Mr. Bo9anquet 125 in an hour and three-quarters. The latter put on 197 for the seventh wicket in partner­ ship with Mr. J. W . Crawfurd, who also scored at an extremely rapid pace. The innirgs closed just before stumps Wrre drawn. No play could take place on Tuesday until late in the afternoon owing to rain. The wicket was not improved by the rain, and the weak team of the County had a bad time of it, being hopelessly out of the running before stumps were drawn. W. G., the only hope of the side, was unable to bat, owing to an injured thumb. In the follow - n —for they were so many runs behind that it was quite unnecessary for Oxford to go in again—Mr. Murdoch batted in quite his old form. O xfo rd U n iv e r sit y . B. J. T.

WARWICKSHIRE v. ESSEX. Played at Birmingham on May 21, 22 and 23. Abandoned. In cheerless weather Warwickshire hardly made as many rims as their opponents might have anticipated when they went to the wickets on Monday, and only three men did themselves justice. 'Ihe cricket was somewhat slow ; Kinneir, who played a very sound innings of 80, took three hours to make the runs, W . G. Quaife made 52 in two hours, and Walter Quaife 37 not out in an hour and a half. But the chief point was that the total was not larae enough lo allow Warwickshire to hope for victory if the rain kept off. Essex had scored til for the loss of Mr. Fane’s wicket when stumps were drawn, Mr. Perrin being no: out 16 and Carpenter not out 12. But the rain came and play on Tuesday was delayed until half­ past one, when Carpenter and Perrin, on a wet wicket, raised the score considerably, both playing very sound and very careful cricket. The partnership produced 83 runs in about an hour and three-quarters. The game progressed slowly, and was interrupted for a couple of hours by rain In the last over of the day Mr. Perrin was bowled for an admirable innings, the total being 126 f«ir three wicktts. After this had been increased to 167 f >r four wickets rain came down, and although the game was resumed it was obvious that there was no chance of finishing the match. Mr. Kortright played brilliant cricket. W a r w ic k sh ir e . Diver, b Mead ........... 2 Charlesworth, b Kort­ right .......................... 18 Kinneir. b B u ll...........80 Quaife ( W.

P li/e i a*; O itf ord on M a y 21, 22 an d 23. Abandoned. So far this year Gloucestershire has been a two- man team. On Monday these two men again did most of the run-getting, Mr. Townsend making 4) and Mr. Jessop 77 out of a total of 244, tut they were not this time left alone with the honours for Board distinguished himself by putting on a fine 66 in a sh >rt time Mr. Jessop’s 77 was made with his usual dash and boldness, •and his cricket was decidedly good ; his innings lasted for only three- quarters <f an hour. The tail collapsed. K ent! eg-in very ladly indeed, Mr. Burnup and Mr. “ Forrest” both making 0. But Alec Hearne played g^od cricket, and after three wickets had fallen for 40, Mr. Bannon and Mr. Mason played out time, the former being not out 49 and the latter not out 33. A t the close of play Kent had made 116 for thrte wickets against 244 of their opponents and were thus in an excellent position. There was no play on Tuesday because of rain. Yesterday there was very little chance of finishing th«* match. Mr. Mason played beautiful cricket, but before 1- ng the r.iin tegan to affect the pitch considerably, and when Gloucestershire went in a second time they could do nothing with the bowling.

Cambridge won by ten wickets. The M.C.C. put a very weak teim in the field for this match at Cambridge, but it made a fair start on Monday, and was not hopelessly out of it on Tuesday. But yesterday the weather was bad, and the wicket in favour of the bowlers; and the visitors had the worat of the luck. M. C. C. First innings.

Although Derbyshire had apparently good fortune in winning the toss, the wicket turned out to be a little in favour of Rhodes, with the result that the batsmen were for the most part ^uncomfortable.
