( for benefit of cricketers 1 fund ). Daft did not play for the North for reasons best known to himself, and Alfred Shaw and Morley were booked by the Marylebone Club for Cambridge. Hence tbe North was weak in bowling and an opportunity was given to Mr. W. J. Laidlay, of the Grange Club, Edinburgh, a slow left-hand bowler of Barratt’s kind, to make his deliit. The South was, excepting only the loss of Jupp who had just lost his wife, very well represented and its first innings was a gigantic affair of 3o5 runs, Mr. G. F. Grace being two hours-and-a- balf at the wicket for a brilliant innings of 103 without the semblance of a chance. Greenwood and Lockwood played very fine cricket for the North, and the eleven resolutely fought an uphill game, though they were defeated,, as the score will show, by five wickets. SOUTH. 1st Inn. W.
