The games of 1882 and 1883 were unfinished from this cause , and in 1884 no play was possible on the second day. Each school had wontwenty-five of the contests already decided . andhenceparticular interest wasattached to the meeting. Aftertheir defeat of Winchester, Eton were slight favourites , but the match, so far as it went, showed that the Harrovians , whowere thought to be a weak batting team,had beenunderrated . The rains had made the wicket very slow, and consequently the play presented few exciting features . Harrow, whowonthe toss , lost five wickets for 52, but the tail showed very fair cricket and more than doubled the score . Etonmadeeven a worse commencement, and half their wickets were down for 31. Lord George Scott (whohit well ) and Forster madea stand , but they alone got double figures , and in the end Eton were 44 behind . W. Dent, Young, and Butler showed good cricket whenHarrowcame in again , and at the end of the day152 runs were up for six wickets . Rain prevented play on the second day, andthe match wasdrawn. Harrowwere 196 runs on, with four wickets to fall , so thatthem a t c hlookedm u c hin theirfavour. H A R R O W B L I N G . Overs. M d n s. R u n s. W kts. SecondInnings. Overs. M a n s. R u n s.
