45 Grace, Lord Harris, Messrs. Hornby, Buller, Green, Lockwood, and Wild, and the eccentric exhibition of Mr. Shand, both with bat and ball. Mr. W G Grace was chiof scorer for tho South, with 45 and 48, one run ahead of Lord Harris (23 and 69), and Mr. Hornby (29 and 58) for the North, with Lockwood (29 and 49) second. Mr. Buller’s first innings of 67 not out for the South was a masterly display in his old and best form, sadly dimmed by an inglorious show in his second venture. The South won by 85 runs. South, 238 and 246 ; total, 484. North, 210 and 189; total, 399. Mr. Shand's bowling figures form a curiosity: Overs. Maidens. First Innings .............. 9 2 Second In n in g s .......... 9 2 Buns.

Public opinion had foretold an easy victory for Cambridge despite the sensational score made by Oxford at Prince’s against Middlesex the previous week. The Light Blues, taken collectively, were a better batting eleven ; they had certainly a slight advantage in bowling, and not only a better wicket-keeper, but a field quite as active and as sure as that of Oxford. Mr. A. J. Webbo was individually perhaps the best batsman in either eleven, but he failed both times, and his collapse for one run in tho first innings evidently unnerved the whole of the Oxford team with the two exceptions of Buckland and Briggs. Oxford were lucky enough to win the toss, but Webbe, in his over anxiety to score, cut a ball of Luddington's into the hands of short slip, and this gave Cambridge an immense ad­ vantage. Indeed they mettled up marvellously, and there vras no need to change the bowling of Luddington and Patterson, as Buckland, Briggs, and Lewis alone got double figures, and this trio scored 88 out of a total of 112. Oxford, too, made a very good start in their first innings, as Greenfield, the Cambridge captain, was bowled by Lewis for a single ; and Blacker fell to the same bowler without a run. Here though, the triumphs of Oxford ceased. A. P. Lucas played a grand innings of 67 ; the Hon. A. Lyttelton hit hard for 43, and W. S. Patterson carried out his bat for 105, a faultless all round innings without anything resembling a chance. Cambridge had an advan­ tage of 190 runs at the end of an innings, and every one predicted a one- innings defeat for Oxford. Such an issue seemed certain too when half tho Oxford wickets were down for 60 runs and 130 wore still wanting for Cam­ bridge to go in a second time. With the score at 60, Game, the Oxford captain, eamo in to face Briggs, and when the latter was bowled by a “ Yorker ” for another well-played innings of 32, the score was 176. Campbell hit hard for 43, and Game was ultimately given out leg-before to a “ l ob” for 109, the highest score of tho match. It is worthy of note that he is the only Oxonian who has ever attained a score of a hundred in an inter-Universitv match, and his innings was a wonderful combination of unattractive defence and hitting remarkably clear and well timed. Cambridge had ultimately to get 76 runs to win, and tho lion . A. Lyttelton and A. P. Lucas had made the game a tie, when the former, who had batted with remarkable freedom for his score, was unluckily run out. In the end Cambridge won by nine wickets, as the score will show.
