4 4 LILLYWHITE'SCRICKETERS' ANNUAL. Clarke (80) all punishing the Philadelphian bowling . The two last -named in particular scored very fast , putting on 168 for the seventh wicket in anhour and ahalf . In their first innings the Americans did a creditable performance , and Patterson's 52 was a really good display of batting . Heavy rain on Tuesday had made the wicket all in favour of the bowler on the third day, so that the Philadelphians hadall the worst of the luck, and their ill success in the follow onwasduemore to the defects of the ground than to anyreal faults of their own. Messrs. Nepeanand W . G. Grace bowled unchanged the second innings , but the latter was the more fortunate , taking half the wickets at a cost of 30 runs. M.C.C. won by aninnings and 81 runs . M.C.C. , 383. Gentlemen of Phila- delphia , 235 and 64 ; total , 299 . (10) M . C . C .v. Y o r k s h i r e. Scarborough , September 2, 3, and 4. Though " the ground " was not represented in the Marylebone eleven on this occasion , the Club was quite equal to the responsibilities of the match, and w o nafter an exciting finish . There were twelve players on each side , and a noticeable feature of the game was the reappearance in the Yorkshire teamof Harrison , the fast bowler, whoproved so successful for the Countysome fewyears ago. Marylebone were very strong in batting , but only two of the twelve did anything out of the common, Messrs . O'Brien and Nepean. The latter scored 59 in his two innings , but the best performance was that of Mr. O'Brien, whoknocked up 96 out of 131 madewhile he was at the wickets . H e wasonly in anhouranda half, and in twosuccessive overs from Peel added 28 runs, including twohits cut of the ground for six . Peel's batting , though, was thebest of the match. H escored 110 (31 and 79) in the double innings of York- shire , and there wasnot a fault to be found with his play either time. The Yorkshire teams at Scarborough , we maystate , are not chosen by the County Committee, but nine of the regular eleven were in the field on this occasion . andthe three other places were filled b yMessrs . R. W. Frank, whoplayed a useful second innings of 46, and T. B. Simpson, the old Oxonian, and Harrison , Whiteheadtook ten Marylebone wickets for 61 runs. M.C.C. won by 35 runs.
