Webbe (92) and Chatterton (45), for the second wicket . Mr. Webbemade scarcely one bad stroke , and his brilliant display was marred by no chance . Cambridge were 60 behind on the first innings , but beyond the fact that Mr. F. S. Jackson's 38 were well got, the form shownwasnot even up to that of the previous day. Martin and Mr. Hedley bowledexceedingly well for the Club. M.C.C. and Groundwonby eight wickets . M.C.C. , 198 and 4+ (two wickets ) ; total . 242. Cambridge University , 138 and 101 ; total , 239. (8) M.C.C. andGroundv. Oxford University. Lord's , June 26, 27, and 28. Thelast of Oxford's trial matches. Heavyrain prevented a commencement until after luncheon on the first day, and Oxford were disposed of by Martin and Pougherfor the poor total of 95. Mr. Llewelyn (57) was responsible for more than half of this sum, and his batting was the one redeeming feature . For M.C.C. , Messrs . C. W. Wright (36), Leese (35), and S. A. P. Kitcat (34), each played well , and a good total of 183 was reached . TheDark Blues played up muchbetter in their second innings , though Palairet (72) scored a large propor- tion of the runs. He played all the bowling with confidence , and his perform- ance was the more meritorious as the ground wasin no condition for run-getting . TheClub had 85 to get to win, but the vigorous hitting of Mr. H. W. Studd soon placed the matter beyond all doubt. M.C.C. and Ground won by six wickets . M.C.C., 183 and 86 (four wickets ) ; total , 269. Oxford University , 95 and172 ; total , 267. (9) M.C.C. a n dG r o u n dv. Yorkshire. Lord's , July 24 and 25. Marylebone wasrepresented by a very moderate side , while Yorkshire were without Lord Hawke, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Whitwell . Half the County's wickets weredownfor 28 runs, whenMr. F. S. Jackson (68), and Moorhouse (105 ), got together . Thepartnership of this pair produced 134, and both played sterling cricket . This is the first three -figure innings Moorhouse has played for the County. Theground helped the bowlers a good deal when M.C.C. wentin to bat, and they were twice dismissed for an aggregate of 146. Yorkshire won by aninnings and71 runs. Yorkshire , 217. M.C.C. , 86 and 60 ; total , 146. (10) M.C.C.a n dG r o u n dv. Yorkshire. Scarborough Sept. 1, 2, and 3. A nentirely amateur team of M.C.C. , and a very powerful one to boot , was takendownto Scarborough for the second match of the festival . Still , what wouldhave been a very interesting finish wasspoilt by the wet. Lord Hawke, thinking the wicket would improve when the County's turn came to bat, sent his opponents in . The Marylebone batsmen , indeed , cut up so badly that six wickets weredownfor 49, but the tail played up handsomely, Messrs . H a d o w (69 ), O'Brien (33), and S. M. J. Woods (31 ) all hitting freely . Mr. Hadow's wasaparticularly fine display , and his 113 for once out was quite a feature of the game. Mr. Spofforth bowled finely on the County going in, and secured six wickets for 70 runs . M.C.C. looked like breaking downat their second attempt , but Messrs . Hadowand Vernon offered a stubborn resistance , and whenthe innings was closed , Yorkshire had 151 to get in less than two hours . Of these 81 were got for three men, Hall (50 not out) playing good cricket . The game wasdrawn. M.C.C. and Ground, 208 and127; total , 335. Yorkshire , 185 and 81 (three wickets ) ; total , 266 .
