The Etonians do not count that in 1857, as being for players over 20 years of ago. (7) Marlborough Rugby. July 26 and 27. Rugby were beaten by the Marlborough captain rather than l>y the Marl­ borough eleven. The Rugbeians hardly played up to the form they had shown at home, and with the exception of the display, of Steel, Marlborough were strong neither in battnig nor in howling. Indeed, for Marlborough, A. G. Steel scored SI out of 154, and 28 out of 77, and besides took six wickets in the first and four in the second innings. A. S. Bennet with 17 and 29 was the highest scorer on the Rugby side. Steel's slow round arm bowling in the first innings of Rugby deserves special no tice : 29 overs, 9 maidens, 28 runs, 6 wickets. Marlborough won by five wickets. Marlborough, 154 and 77; total, 231 ; Rugby, 85 and 143 ; total, 228. (8) Kent and Gloucestershire «•. England. August 7, 8, and 9. Heavy scoring was the order of the match, and three days were insufficient to conclude a game which produced 1132 ruus for 38 wickets, or an average of nearly 30 runs for each batsman. The combined Counties were as strong as they could have been, with the exception of the absence of Mr. W. O. Moberley of Gloucestershire, who ought to have taken the place of Mr. V. K. 8haw. England was by no means well represented, as Davey, one of the ground men at Lords, had to be enlisted to take the wicket, and Daft, A. Shrewsbury, Oscroft, and Mr. Hornby were all absentees. The ground was as level and true as it could have been made, thanks to the steam-roller, and throughout the cricket all round was of a very high order. Mr. W. R. Gilbert played a steady first innings of 149 for the counties, and Mr. A. J. Wcbbe a good second of 109 for England. Mr. W, G. Grace’s second inn ­ ings of 91 was a very tine display even for him, and Lord Harris (45 and38) mid Mr. Yardley (47 and 32) both showed good cricket. Lockwood,s G3 and 36 were both attended with luck, and special mention should be ma do of the 52 of Mr. IT. R. Wcbbe, who played really sound and correct cricket. For once Mr. W. G. Grace’s bowling did not get a wicket in a match. The match was drawn when the Countios wanted 31 runs to win with only two wickets to fall, so that the probable result must be a matter of opinion. England 226 and 335 ; total, 581, Kent and Gloucestershire, 345 and 206 (emht w ickets); total, 551. #
