Peate, owing to a sprained ankle , was unable to play for the Players , and Morley was also prevented by an accident . TheGentlemen on the other hand werean exceptionally strong eleven , and in addition to winning the toss they hadall the best of the wicket . The Players were placed at the greatest possible disadvantage in losing their best slow as well as their most reliable fast bowler. A sa consequence the Gentlemen scored very freely , and Fothergill , whowas selected to fill Morley's place, provedonly a poor substitute . T h efeature of the match was the batting of Messrs . Lucas and C. T. Studd. While they were together 204 runs were added to the score . This is , we believe , the largest numberever madeby two batsmen in Gentlemen v. Players . The light during part of the second innings of the Players was very bad so that generally they had all the worst of the luck. The Gentlemenwonby eight wickets . G E N T L E M E N .
