Handon. The University had 159 runs to win, and got them with the los of only four wickets, A. P. Lucas playing a sterling innings of 57 not out. Indeed the batting of the Light Blues was strong enough to foreshadow the result of the inter-University match. Shaw’s seven Cambridge wickets co>t as many as 118, and the two secured by Morley 121 runs. Cambridge won by 6 wickets. Cambridge, 198 and 159 (4 wickets) ; total, 357. M.C.C., 200 and 148 ; total, 354. (7) M.C.C. and Ground v. Oxford University. Lord’s, June 22 and 23. Marylebone this time had a very strong batting eleven, including W . G. Grace, Ridley, Ottaway, E. F. S. Tylecote ; and as the University battik.; was stronger than its bowling, the scoring was heavy. A. J. Webbe (95 1 , W. H. Game (30), and F. M. Buckland (28) contributed 153 towards a tot..I of 204 ; but excepting Webbe’s brilliant display the batting was nut of an impressive kind. Marylebone scored 270 with only half their wickets down, but the remainder only added seven runs. Oxford scored better in their second venture, as 150 runs resulted from the loss of only 5 wickets, A. J. Webbe again playing good cricket for 49, while A. H. Heath made 50, and R. Briggs 23 not out. The impression derivable from the match was that the Dark Blues were fairly strong in batting, lamentably weak in bowling, and the University match proved it to be correct. The game was drawn. Oxford, 204 and 150 (5 wickets); total, 354. Marylebone, 277. ♦ (8) M.C.C. and Ground v. Surrey. Lord’s, July 10 and 11. Not a very exciting match, though by no means devoid of sensational incidents. A very fine score of 64 by Mr. A. P. Lucas, with the bowiing of Flanagan, were the chief features of the first innings of the County, Flana­ gan getting 9 of the Surrry wickets, 8 of them clean bowled. Four of the first five batsmen of the Club scored 158 runs (Mr. H. T. Griffiths not out 68, Mr. A. F. Jeffreys 50), and the remaining seven together only 25 runs from the hat. Jupp earned out his bat for a careful and wrell-gofc score of 59 in the second innings of Surrey, and this wTas more than half the total from the bat, extras contributing as many as 24 runs. The finish was exciting enough to please anybody. Marylebone had 149 runs to win, and of these 117 were got with the loss of only half the wickets. Then came Barratt to the rescue of Surrey, with 4 wickets in 4 consecutive overs, and Surrey won a wrell merited victory by 27 run s; the last 5 wickets of Mary lebone only realising 4 runs. Surrey, 205 and 139 ; total, 344. Marylebone, 196 and 121 ; total, 317. Overs. Maidens. Runs. Wickets. Southerton (Surrey)............... 105 64 94 13 (9) M.C.C. Kent (12 a side). Canterbury, August 10, 11, and 12. (The largest innings in a first-class match.) Mr. W. G. Grace on this occasion surpassed the score (278) of Mr. William Ward at Lord’s in 1820, from that time until August 12th last the largest individual score made in a first-class match. In another place we propose to give a full score of the innings, so that it will suffice here to state that Mr. Grace was six hours and a quarter at the wickots in the attainment
