O nabumpywicket, which madeUlyett rather dangerous , the Australians were dismissed in an hour and twenty minutes for 83 from the bat, of which Lyons, Walters , Turner, and Blackhamsubscribed 76. Yorkshire madea better show, Lord Hawke(28), Peel (39), and Wainwright (28) being seen to advan- tage. It might reasonably have been expected that the visitors wouldbe seen to better advantage at the second attempt , but the only time they looked at all dangerous was when Trott and Gregory raised the score from 14 to 60. Peel and Ulyett bowled admirably. Of the sixteen matches played upto the present between Yorkshire and the Australians , this was only the second in which the county hadbeen successful . Yorkshire wonbyseven wickets . Yorkshire, 161 and 53 (three wickets ) ; total , 214. Australians , 87 and125 ; total , 212. Peel(Yorkshire) O v e r s. M a i d e n s. R u n s.

J. Woods. I nreply to a total of 193 by Yorkshire , the University ran up a score of 329 , the chief contributors being Douglas (72 ), Streatfeild (57 ), Jephson (37) , Foley (34), and Hill (49), while the last wicket added 101. The Yorkshiremen performed so badly at their second venture that Cambridgehad an unexpectedly easy win. To this result Mr. F. S. Jackson (a Yorkshireman himself , by the way) contributed materially by his fine bowling. Ulyett (51 and 13), Lee (30 and 59), and Peel (37 and 0) were the principal scorers for Yorkshire . Cambridge University wonby nine wickets . Cambridge, 329 and 14 (one wicket ) ; total , 343. Yorkshire , 193 and 146 ; total , 339. F. S. Jackson (Cambridge) O v e r s. M a i d e n s. R u n s.
