Played at Alexandria on March 16 and 17. M.C.C. won by 42 runs. Thanks to a stand of 73 for the eighth wicket by Branston and Dobson, the M.C.C.’s first innings realised 178. This total the home side exceeded by 64, Capt. Crake and G. MacLaren putting on 52 for the second wicket and Lieut. Wright, who carried out his bat for a most valuable 60, and Scott- Dalgleish indulging in a useful partnership for the seventh. Ebden scored 55 in the second innings of M.C.C., but, like many another player on the side, was favoured in the matter of missed catches. Egypt were set 137 to win, but, against Branston and Simpson-Hayward, proved unequal to the task. Score and analysis:— M.C.C. First innings. C.H.M . Ebden,bBurrough 22 Second innings.

The home side accomplished an excellent per­ formance by winning this match by five wickets after being set 215 to win. In their first innings the M.C.C. lost Brackley before a run had been made and the sixth wicket fell at 90, but Dubson and Simpson-Hayward put on 65 for the eighth wicket and the total eventually reached 216. The out­ standing feature of Egypt’s first innings was the partnership of 65 by Burrough and Scott-Dalgleish after six wickets had fallen for 63. The M.C.C., leading by 67, made 147 upon going in the second time, leaving the home side 215 to win. Crake and J. A. C. MacLaren scored 65 for the first wicket, and Davenport ard Mainprice 64 for the fifth, the runs being made with half the wickets in hand. Davenport played a very free game for 47.

McDonogh 3 1 5 0 — It will be recalled that in the first of the matches against the full strength of the Island the visitors were beaten by nine wickets, an event which occasioned the appearance of many interesting remarks and criticisms in the local papers. In their second innings Jamaica had 11 to make to win, and we are told that “ the task of knocking up the 10 runs was not a very difficult one, and interest in the game flagged when the second innings was over.” The runs were made for the loss of one wicket, and “ the Philadelphians took their defeat in a thoroughly sportsmanlike manner. They were beaten, they said.” A “ Special Commissioner ” waxed jubilant and con­ fident over the success of the Island. Among his remarks were the following :— “ Perfect weather conditions prevailed ; a perfect wicket had been prepared, and if the visitors failed to take advantage of the additional gift of the gods - the winning of the toss and having first innings under the conditions named—they have but themselves to thank. But I think they did their best. When we who know something about the standard of Philadelphian cricket learnt that Lester, King, Morris, &c., were not making the tiip, wre realised that we had nothing to fear from the men who formed the present combination. I do not for one moment say that we may not lose the rubber. Anything is possible in cricket, and, given certain conditions, the visitors may yet leave Jamaica victorious; but if they do, we may comfort ourselves with the assurance that they have been able to teach us nothing and that our usual bad luck has attended us, or not left us. I may make an exception of Hordern, the “ googlie ” bowler; he has introduced the deadly googlie into Jamaica, and in a season or two we shall be having imitators springing up all around............ Peai ce and McDonogh are the fast bowlers; they have no terrors for us on a good wicket; iudeed, they are the kind that would be specially selected by us for scoring purposes. O’Neill is a good left-hander, and may get wickets later on............Conyers is spoken of as their best, and, from his exhibition to-day, I am willing to agree ; but Conyers’ form is far below any of the good batsmen who have visited Jamaica with English teams. He can hit well and powerfully and has a fair amount of defence, but he has a good deal still to learn when facing a good bowler............Taken collectively they are
