The Etonians do not count that in 1857, as being for players over 20 years of age. (6) R u g b yv. Marlborough. Lord's , July 31, August 1. The Rugbeians won on their merits , though their opponents were at the outset much fancied . Batting far from despicable , and bowling above the average , triumphed over an opposition not very strong at either of these points . L. Jeffery did right well with the bat for Rugby, and so did Simpson in a less pretentious mannerwith the ball . O v e r s. C. H.

Canterbury , August 4, 5, 6. Alwaysa matchprolific of scores , and in this instance true to its reputation . M. M'Intyre was not on the side of the North, nor Daft, nor Lockwood, the last -named suffering from sunstroke . Hence the South , well represented , had an advantage which they did not fail to utilise . Seven double figures on the side of the North at the end of their first innings , the highest 78, by Pinder, a score unusual for him and not accomplished without one or two lives . The Southerners were still less considerate , as Mr. W. G. Grace and Jupp made 51 before the first wicket fell , the latter's 80 one of the very best of his many famous exploits . In the second innings of the North Mr. R. A. H. Mitchell once again showed his true form in heading the score with 48 : and Emmett, improving every day as a batsman, was as steady as the Old Guard in the achievement of his score of 44. In spite of two such notable contributions , though , the aggregate only reached 192, and the South soon rattled up the requisite numberof 95 runs, with the loss of three wickets . 881 runs were madefrom the bat during the match, or an average of almost 27 runs for each of thirty -three wickets . Lillywhite , as usual at Canterbury , " came off " to a high tune with the ball , and Emmett was chief executant in the first innings for theN o r t h. O v e r s.
