Harrow were written down some time ago as a weak side this year, but had been reported much improved latterly. There was small evidence of improvement at Lord’s on Friday, however. Heathcote- Amory, winning the toss, sent them in. It was not a plumb wicket or a specially fast o n e ; b u t,it had not vice enough to account for the very poor resistance offered to the Light Blues’ attack. In 90 minutes the Harrovians were all out for 75, of which Thompson made 30. Tw o chances admitted, his was a very good innings in the face of disaster, and it was ended by a most brilliant catch, Rawstorne, travelling full speed ahead, taking the ball knee-high. This effort verged on the miraculous. Eton had no difficulty in scoring freely against an unimpressive attack : Burrows and L eggatt 90 in 70 minutes for the second wicket, Gull and Johnstone 65 in 35 for the fourth, and Heathcote-Amory and Johnstone 102 in 33 minutes for the sixth. Johnstone’s 94 were made in 80 minutes by first-class b a ttin g; the catch by which the Harrow captain, Jackson, dismissed him, fall­ ing in taking it, was a really fine one. The Eton skipper’s 61 only took 45 minutes. The tail helped themselves; the innings closed for 383; and at call of time Harrow had one down for 47. On Saturday G. Wilson played up in great style for his side. He had gone in first overnight, and he saw 7 down for 133 before anyone proved capable of making a real stay with him. All this time he defended steadily and well, though at 62 he m ight have been caught in the slips. Makant now joined him, and both hit out splendidly. In less than an hour 132 were added, and while the two stayed and slammed anything seemed possible. But Makant succumbed to the Eton captain a t 265, and though Brown defended so well that 41 were added for the ninth w icket— his share a single— all hope had to be abandoned when Foster took a high return and Wilson had to go. He had batted about 4 hours for his 173 (twenty-six 4’s), cutting, off-driving, and leg-hitting in fine form. The arrears were cleared o ff; but Eton won in the end by 9 wickets. Only D. C. Boles’s_183 for Eton in 1904 overtops W ilson’s 173 in the long series of matches— 88— between the two great schools. First Innings. H a rro w . G. L. Jackson, b Johnstone ................ o G.

The visitors had to take the field without Barnes, engaged at headquarters, and with one exception, Nichols, they made a poor show against some deadly bowling by Freeman, who emulated Preston’s feat last week v. Surrey II. by taking 9 for 36. Freeman is a googly merchant, and it will not be surprising if he is tried in the first team next yea r; he will hardly be wanted in August, if Carr is available. Troughton played Nichols’s part when Kent batted, but the rest did a trifle better than the other Staffordshire batsmen had done, and when rain stopped play at 6 o’clock Kent, with two to go, led by 59 runs. Rain prevented a finish on Tuesday, when Kent took first innings’ points. Freeman again bowled well. S taffo rd sh ire . First Innings. P.
