39 (i) M.O.C. and Ground Cambridge University. Cambridge, May 18, 19, and 20. A. close match throughout, won creditably by the University by 60 runs. Shaw, Morley, and Mycroft were the professional bowlers of the Club, and of these Morley was the most destructive. Neither side reached three figures in its first effort, the University having an advantage of 13 runs at the end of an innings. The Cantabs made a better show7 in their second venture, Me ;rs. Steel (65) and Lucas (51) contributing 119 to an aggregate of 191. The bat Lingof Marylobono at the close was not remarkable for vigour. Messrs. A. A. Nepean (51) Booth (32), and Kenyon--Slnney (34) made 117, and the other members of the eleven 19 runs from the bat. Mr. Patterson’s slow and high round-arm delivery secured 10 of the Marylobono wickets at a cost of only 61 runs, and Morley 9 of Cambridge for 59. Cambridge, 98 and 191 ; total, 289. M.C.C., 85* and 138 ; total, 223. Morley’* analysis in the first innings of Cambridge was remarkable : 14 overs, 9 maidens, 11 run?', 4 wickets. (2) M.C.C. and Ground v .Oxford Unive Oxford, May 25 and 26. The wickets were dead from previous rains, and the wTeather cold and cheerless. Rain fell too on the second day, and heavy scoring wTas out of the question. A. J. Webbe, the crack batsman of Oxford, was playing for Middlesex v. Yorkshire, at Prince’s, and the University was deprived of an­ other of its best players, A. H. Heath. Shaw, Morley, and Mycroft again represented the attack of the Club, and the state of the ground made Shaw’s bowding unusually deadly. Oxford headed their opponents by 19 runs, and, as in the Cambridge match, neither eleven reached 100. Marylebone, a fairly strong eleven, were again dismissed for 130, C. P. Lewis, the Univer­ sity fast round-arm bowler, obtaining 6even wdekets for 35 runs. Oxford had only 112 runs to wrin at the close, but the only double figure w7as the 11 of D. Campbell, and in thirty-seven overs the Oxonians were out for 56. Marylebone won by 57 runs. Marylebone, 78 and 130; total, 208, Oxford. 97 and 56; total, 153. Alfred Shaw's bowding deserves special attention : 55 overs, 26 maidens, 64 runs, 13 wickets. (3) M.C.C. and Ground v. Yorkshire. Lord’s, May 29 and 30. Marylebone, with one exception, was about as well represented as it could well have been, and the county mustered all its available forces. For once the match w7as unfinished in two days, and as the third was Derby Day it had to be left drawn. The chief features of the contest were the two splendid innings of 58 and not out 63 made bjr Lockwood for Yorkshire, the fine batting shown by Mr. Buller in his second score of 67 for the Club ; the accu­ rate bowling of Alfred Shaw’ for Marylebone, and an excellent analysis by Lockwood in the second innings of the Club. Mr. Frank Penn played in fine form in each innings of M.C.C. scoring 44 in the first and 35 in the second. At the close Yorkshire w7as left with 70 runs to win and six wickets to fall, a game left drawn at an interesting phase. In Lockwood’s first score of 58 were two 5’s, two 4’a, four 3’s, eleven 2’s, and oniy six singles ; in his second of 63, not-out, were one 5, three 4’s, seven 3’s, nine 2’s, and seven
