5 0 LILLYWHITE'SCRICKETERS' A N N U A L. that six of the best batsmen were out for only fifty -five runs , and it was only the fine batting of Gunn, whowasin two hours for a faultless score of 61 not out, that enabled M.C.C. to makea fair show. The commencementof England's innings produced a most brillant display of batting by Mr. Stoddart and Shrews- bury. A tthe end of the first daythe score was196 withbothbatsmenstill in, a n d it w a snotuntil it h a dreached266 that Mr. Stoddart was caughtand bowled. H ehadmade 151 runs in three hours and forty minutes , and though he ought tohavebeencaughtw h e nhe hadm a d ethirteen, had notthe sunbeenin the fieldsman's eyes , his innings was a great display of well -timed and powerful batting . Shrewsbury was five hours and a quarter at the wickets for his 152 , and no higher praise can be given to his masterly performance than that it was free froman actual chance . Marylebone had almost a hopeless task whenthey went in a second time in a minority of 337 runs , and though Mr. Grace, Barnes , and Flowers played good cricket , the issue was never in doubt.
