I t was at first contemplated that the elevens should be placed under the -care of the two representative Amateurs of the rival sections, Mr. W . G. Grace of the South, and Mr. A. N. Hornby of the North. Neither of these •eminent performers could be secured, so that ultimately the match had to be played as above. There were considerable errors too in the arrangement and composition of the two sides. It was officially stated that the Committee o f the Marylebone Club were flooded with applications, from Northern .candidates, and if so it was difficult to divine the reason why so well tried a player as Watson, the celebrated slow bowler of Lancashire, or Dawson, a Yorkshireman far advanced in years, should have been selected to come (under the category of Colts. The match itself was uninteresting as what bowling there was among the twenty-two professionals was all on the side o f the North. Lutterlock of Surrey made 11 and 14, the highest individual score in each innings, for the South, but the batting throughout was poor, the first innings, thanks to the deadly bowling of Watson Hay of Derbyshire, lasting less than an hour. Mills (of Shrewsbury), and Bissell (of Notts), Wright (of Yorkshire), Watson, and Nicholson (of Durham), batted in the best form for the Northerners, and Bissell made himself notorious in the bowling department w ith four wides and a no ball in one over.
