In the third round King's beat St. Thomas's, St. Bartholomew's a bye. In the final tie King's beat St. Bartholomew's . King's thus holds the Cuptill 1883 , whenit will again be competed for. Thefine batting of Mr. H. T. D. Ryder, combined withthe destructive bowling of Messrs . E. Davies , E. A. Hughes, and E. H. Smith, beyond doubt added very materially to the ultimate success of the King's College Hospital eleven . L I N C O L N U P P E R G A M M A R S C H O O L . Captain ,F. H. Lowe. Hon. Sec ., Rev.
