Withquite a third -rate teamagainst it , even Hampshire not playing its full strength , had an easy victory , and the totals of 47 and 141 madeby the Marylebone players , were quite as much as they were worth.

Southampton, August 25, 26, 1880. Hampshire, with a score of 181, won by an innings and 38 runs . N o other evidence need be given , considering the quality of Hampshirebowling, of the incapacity of the Marylebone team, which was quite third -rate .

The first match of a Scarborough week, promoted by Sir Harcourt Johnstone . Marylebone was represented by perhaps a stronger eleven than in most of its homeengagements, but the ground wasrather too rough for run getting , and only one of the four innings exceeded a hundred. Ulyett (40 and 19) was the principal contributor for the county , and C. Wheater , who had shown good form for Eighteen of Scarborough against the Australians just previously , made a promising débût for his county, totalling 12 not out , and 27. Hon. A. Lyttelton , (0 and 39 ) was highest scorer of a strong batting eleven of M.C.C.; but Peate's bowling proved very destructive , and chiefly to him was due Yorkshire's victory by thirty -three runs .

Notts. Nottingham, September 2, 3, 1880. 1 1 9 Amatchfor the benefit of the Nottingham Eleven , and successful as far as its object was concerned . The strength of Marylebone can be gathered fromthe names, Messrs. Russel , Foljambe, and Crawford, with Midwinter, G. Hearne, W. Hearn , Wild, West, O'Shaughnessy , Clayton and Rylott . Whencethe runs were to comefrom such a team, against bowling like that of Notts , it would have been difficult to tell , and the hollow victory of the county was in no way of surprise . Selby (123), and Oscroft (80), in their only attempt scored one run more than the Maryleboneteamin their double effort , andNotts wonwith a huge majority of an innings and 125 runs to spare .
