Theonly tie ever recorded in this series of matches. The Players , except , perhaps, for the absence of Hall, hada very strong eleven , but the Gentlemen mighthave been considerably improved and, for the first time since 1867 , Mr. W .G. Grace, owing to aprofessional engagement , was unable to play . Though on paper the professionals appeared to have a decided advantage , their batting was not up to the best standard , ard and had the weather held up till the end of the match, in all probability the Gentlemenwould have w o nwith something in hand. As it was, after a thunderstorm on the second night , the wicket played very treacherously whenthe Gentlemen went in with 150 to win. Flowers' bowling , helped by the ground, was very puzzling , and Mr. A. P. Lucas alone played with any great confidence . Hewas caught by Lockwood low downat point whenhe had got eight , but neither umpire sawthe catch, andhis escape materially affected the result . Fourteen were wanted to win whenthe last man, Mr. Rotherham , came in, and when he had made five , he hit one of Flowers' into the hands of Bates in the long field . W h e nthe score was a tie Peate , who had not previously taken a wicket , was put on to Mr. Rotherham , and after playing very tamely at the first , the batsman was bowled b ythe second ball . Thematch thus, amidst the greatest excitement , ended in a tie . Mr. Lucas was in altogether two hours and three -quarters , and except for the piece of luck already mentioned madeno mistake . R. G.
