Owingto heavy rain a start could not be madetill after luncheon onthe first d a y, andwhenthe gamedid begin the bowlers fared so well that 235 runs were the outcome of seventeen wickets . Onthe second day the wicket was improving fast , and Sussex profited by having the last " knock " as it happened. Thebest performance in the second innings of the University appropriately camefrom the captain, L. C. H. Palairet , whowasin for two hours and a half , and carried out his bat for 75, which was entirely free from mistake . Sussex , with 235 to win, in spite of Bean's speedy dismissal , made a good start , thanks to G. L Wilson a n dMarlow, whoknocked up 81 in just over an hour. Again the Sussex captain w a sseen to great advantage , andas he carried out his bat for 65, it wasnot his fault that the verdict rested with Oxford.
