(7) Gentlemenv. Players. July6 and7. 3 Bothsides , despite the absence of Mr. W.W. Readfromthe Gentlemen, were strong , and an exciting finish was the result . The ground, though, in some parts was very bare, and the wicket played so badly on the second day that the bowlers had things all their way. The chief feature on the side of the Gentlemenwas the brilliant cricket of Messrs . Lucas and Steel . The former, a left-handed batsman, made an extraordinarily successful debût in this match. H ewas the highest scorer each time , and altogether he contributed 120 out of 255 madebythe Gentlemenfromthe bat, bycricket of the very highest order . Messrs. Lucas and Steel were responsible for 127 out of 160fromthe bat in the first innings of the Gentlemen. Barnes. with the ground to help him, bowled with great effect for the Players , and altogether he was credited with eleven wickets for 106 runs . Thoughthe Players , whenthey went in a second time, only wanted 77runs to win, the wicket played so badly that five of the best batsmen were out for 57. Shrewsbury, however, batted with great care at the critical time , and the Players wona very creditable victory-their first at Lord's since 1874-with four wicketsto spare. Mr.Roller took six of the Players' wickets for 41 runs.
