A contest made ridiculous by the representation of the Marvlebone team. The assertion is justified by the names of the players. Fancy Notts with all its might in bowling and batting opposed by such a team as this: Messrs. F. Penn, J. Turner, F. S. Millor, A. W. H. Herbert, J. E. Byass, W. Blacker, and Pearce, liandon, Kylott, Clayton, and Mycroft! Only one member of the eleven (Mr. Penn) with the slightest claim to a place in the front rank of batsmen, and only two bowlers of any great pretensions, to wit, Mycroft and Clayton. Notts made a long score, as was only to bo expected, with Arthur Shrewsbury (59) and Daft (49), as the chief contributors, and Mr. Penn (20 and 36) was the only one to show anything like ordinary batting for tho Club. Notts won by an innings and 52 runs. Notts, 206.* Maryle- bone, 64 and 90; total, 154. (J) M.C.C. and Ground v. Derbyshire. Lord’s, June 15 and 16. Almost a parallel match with that just mentioned above between M.C.C. and Notts. Marylebone had this time two batsman of repute, Messrs. C. F. Buller and E. J. S. Tylecote, and certainly better bowling than against NotU, as Alfred Shaw and Morley were both engaged. Despito Shaw and Morlev, and Clayton and Bylott, too, Derbyshire mado a long score of 229; and if is worthy of note that Alfred Shaw delivered 44 overs without getting a wicket, and Morley’s one wicket cost as many as 55 runs. The feature of the* Derbyshire innings was the resolute and fine hitting of Hind, who made 77 out of 134 runs scored during his stay. Once lie hit Morley out of the ground by the grand stand for 0, and his other figures were two 5’s, two 4 s, seven 3 s, seven 2’s, and 18 singles. Mr. B. T. ltichardson made 31 in the first innings of Marylebone, and Motley’s not out 27 was the highest score in the second. Derbyshire won by an innings and 49 runs. Derby­ shire, 229.

Cambridge University. Lord’s, June 19, 20, and 21. The first of the two trial matches of the Universities at Lords. Mary- Bbone was fairly represented, though not so well as against Oxford at the end of the week. Mr. W. G. Grace was there, but fortunately for Cambridge it was not one of his days, and he was clean bowled for 28 by V. K. Shaw in the first, and stumped from W. S. Patterson in the second innings. The Mary* lebone scoring was bad throughout, and A. F. Jeffreys, of Hampshire fame, was the chief contributor with 55 not out, and 26. D. Q. Steel played two fine innings for Cambridge, making 86 and 44, an excellent performance, considering that he was opposed by Shaw and Morley, W. G. Grace, and
