• ' 56 48 runs, A.G. Steel, brother of the Up � ingham C � ptain making 41 not out and A P. Wickh&m 36 for . the 1'-{arlburrans. Their second attempt was not so fav� ti rable, but even this amount of 95 ga,re Rugby the large sum of 144 to win and opinion,s differed. With the exception of F. Forma_n though every batsman soored in the second innings and Rugby won by five wickets, D. F. Burt-On �itting very freely for 84 not _ out. The Rugbeians won on their m rit�.

Canterbury August, • A match substitn�ed for the old fixture of - North against South and in - many cases condemned; A better union could have been found for Glou . . eestershire but Mr. W. G. Grace eame off both with bat and ball and so the Co11nties had a fair chance though England much wanted the help of Emmett and Hill. Mr. W. G. Grace eommenced with 94 for the Co1mties, the four men of Gloucester (W. G . and G. F. Grace, F. Townsend and A. J. Bush), making 111, (Townsencl and Bush n? ne), , against 108 by the seven Kentish representatives. The English eleven began in a manner gloomy enough as six only reached 54. Then came the change. . Greenwood and Reynolds together added 101 and the total came to 201, Reynolds gaining 57, Greenwood 53 runs. Again Mr. W. Grace opened . the batting to some tune with 121 t Mess1�s. B1.1sh and Townsend this ti·me being credited jointly with one run. Lord Harris too played well for 83, and Kent (seven) showed 102, against Gloucester (fotU'), 132. England required the heaTy st1m of 277 runs to win, M1,._ I. D. Walker (42), and Jupp (48), securing upwa1�ds of 80 before the Amateur fell as the flr�t wicket. Oscroft was playiJ1g well when he was hit in the mouth and had to retire dislocating his th11mb besides in the fall. After this matters went queerly for England and despite some splendid cricket byR. A. H. Mitchell (50), andAndrew,Greenwood (31), lost by 54 ruus, the l�t five batsmen adding only 27 r11ns. Kent and Gloucester 231 and 247; Total 278. England 201 and 223; Total 424. Overs.
