Iarylebona wa not 1nl1stering anything like its be t Eleven, as Mr. W. G. Grace was absent with othors of minor p1·etensions. The Unive1 ..sity made a good start again:t the bo,vling of A. Shaw, Rl y lott and �forley, for 167 against such skilful practitioners, must be regarded as a fine perlor• mance. The chief featu1·es of the l\iarylebone inn,ings were the marked debility of the batsme11 as well o.s ·the slovenly character of the fielding. Mr. A. S. Duncru1 made 14, the only double figure, and the side in all could not exceed 63. h·. 0. I.

Three batsmen 011 the side of the club made 93, and eight others 14, so that th,e effect ,vas generally not striking, though 112 runs were gained. The O xon i � l n s had nine 9f their wickets clean bowled in the second innings; Mr. C. A. Wallroth the chief scorei: with 27. The club had 66 to get to win, and thanks to . th e effective batting of Messrs. Croqke and �farriott, Marylebone won by seven wickets. M.C.C. and Ground, 112 and 67 {three wickets; total, 179.
