Owing to aninjury , Alec Hearne could not bat in the second innings , and of the other eight membersof the eleven six could only get one run between them. H. E. Bouch, W. L. Knowles, and Leaney madetheir first appearance for Kent in this match. M.C.C. wonby an innings and 53 runs . M.C.C. , 207. Kent, 77 and 77; total , 154. J. T. Hearne(M.C.C.). Pougher ( و و ).....

WithFlowers far and awaythe best all -round player on the side , М.С.С. , it will be easily seen , was very poorly represented . As a consequence , the University had the game entirely in their own hands throughout . Cambridge , with the advantage of first innings , made light of what little bowling M.C.C. had, and scored at the rate of nearly 80 an hour for the four hours and a half they were in . F. S. Jackson , the captain , set his side a good example with a faultless score of 84, as too , in addition , did most of the execution with the ball . T h edecisive victory of Cambridgewasin a great measurehis work. T h escores of Burns (6 and 58), Martin (54 and 9), and V. F. Leese (44 and 44) were the only relief to a not very interesting display of batting by M.C.C. R. N. Douglas and E. C. Streatfeild were unable to play for the University .

Oxford University. Oxford, June 2, 3 and 4. U pto a certain point the Oxford eleven made an excellent show, so much so indeed that there was only a difference of eighteen runs between the sides at the end of an innings . Thoughthe wicket was a little slow at the start , it played fairly easily , and the University did well to reach a total of 222 against the bowling of Flowers, Pougher, Barnes, and Chatterton . To this success three batsmen, F. B. Case (45), V. T. Hill (51), and H. M. Taberer (37 not out), chiefly contributed , and the two first namedput on 91 for the fifth wicket . W h e nthey went in a second time, however, the ground was all in favour of the bowlers , and Pougher and Flowers kept up their ends unchanged. Flowers , w h oat one time was irresistible , did the hat trick , dismissing Case, Brain, and Taberer with successive balls . Nine wickets were downfor 40, and it was simply the free hitting of the last two batsmen, W o o dand Berkeley , which produced a total of 80. M.C.C. won by seven wickets .
