The Marylebone twelve was by no means strong in batting , but the ground wasso heavy from recent rains as to be all in favour of the bowlers , andFlowers proved altogether too muchfor the Cambridge team. Mr. C. T. Studd had only just returned from Australia , and, as was only to be expected , was not in form either with bat or ball , to the serious detriment of the University . The feature of the match was Flowers ' bowling . In all , he took fourteen wickets for 61 runs a great feat against a strong batting side . M.C.C. won by nine wickets . M.C.C. and Ground, 159 and 7 for two wickets ; total , 166. Cambridge, 100 and 65; total , 165. F l o w e r s , Overs. Maidens. R u n s. Wickets. 6 0 9 3 (3) M.C.C. a n dG r o u n dv. Yorkshire.

Marylebone was very strongly represented , but the three first innings only produced moderate scoring , the totals varying from 113 to 125. W h e nYorkshire went in, with 118 to win, there seemed every chance of a good finish . Ulyett's vigorous hitting , though , and the faultless cricket of Emmett, enabled Yorkshire to win without the loss of a wicket-a noteworthy feat against such bowling as that of Flowers , Rylott , Barnes, and Messrs . W. G. Grace and C. T. Studd. Ulyett made79 of the 114 from the bat. Harrison , a n e wfast bowler, m a d ehis debût for Yorkshire in this match. Yorkshirew o n by ten wickets .

Marylebone, with a third -rate eleven , made a very poor show, and Kent, in consequence , had an easy victory . A n unexpected stand by Woof (43) and Sherwin (30, not out), the ninth and tenth batsmen, enabled M.C.C. to makea first total of 156 ; but in the second , the highest score was 10, and George Hearneand Mr. A.
