The Cambridge eleven were seen to particular advantage in this , the last of their trial matches . Though M.C.C. had J. T. Hearne, Rawlin, and Shacklock , as well as W. C. Hedley, of Somersetshire , to bowl, the University batsmen scored heavily . C. M. Wells' 8 was indeed the only single figure , and of the rest , four got over 150 runs , and five more than 20 runs . F. S. Jackson (37), andJ. Douglas (102), put on101for the first wicket ; and towards the end, T. N. Perkins (90), and A. O. Jones (30), hit so freely that 77 were added in the last 45 minutes . T h e innings altogether lasted six hours and a half , and the total of 503 was a fine per- formanceagainst such bowlers as those mentionedabove. M.C.C.hadto bat under very different conditions . The game had to be given up prematurely on the second afternoon owing to heavy rain , and as the wicket was considerably affected there- by, M.C.C. did well to get over 160 runs each time . Cambridge wonby an innings and 155 runs . Cambridge, 503 ; M.C.C. 165 and 183 ; total , 348 . (11 ) M. C. C. G r o u n dv. OxfordUniversity. Lord's, June 29 and 30. T h e last of the trial matches of Oxford andthe sixth consecutive defeat. The weakness of the University's bowling was fully illustrated by the uniform scoring of the Marylebone eleven , of w h o meight got double figures . C. W . Wright found the lobs of J. B. Woodin particular to his taste . Of his 98 he made37 in three overs of the slows . Some fine batting was shewn by R. C. N. Palairet , (52 and 14), L. C. V. Bathurst , (21 and 45), C. B. Fry, and H. Leveson Gower. Still their form all round was not good enough to invest the game with any excitement , and the result was really never in doubt . M. C. C. won by eight wickets . M. C. C. 355 and 62 ( two wickets ), total 417 ; Oxford 222 and 194; total 416. O v e r s. J. T. Hearne, (2nd innings , Oxford).. 31.3 Maidens. R u n s. 4 8 1 4 (12) M.C.C. a n dG r o u n dv. Yorkshire. Scarborough Aug. 28 and 29. W i c k e t s. Thoughthe Marylebone eleven were far from representative , still they had all the best of the game up to the fourth innings . The wicket bumped a good deal at times , and as a consequence the bowlers on both sides were seen to great ad- vantage . M.C.C. who went in first started well , making 113 for the loss of only three batsmen. After that , run-getting was very difficult , so muchthat the next 27 wickets only realised an aggregate of 253. Yorkshire's victory was the work of one batsman. It was F. S. Jackson's exceptionally brilliant cricket at the finish that determined the result . A total of 196 for a fourth innings , and on a wicket that hadhelped the bowlers , was a big task for Yorkshire . Yet, thanks to the Cambridge captain they were got for the loss of only three batsmen, and in less than two hours . Thelast 66, indeed , were scored in twenty minutes , and of these E. Smith, who carried out his bat, contributed 40. Jackson , whowas also notouthadm a d e111 of the 195 runs, anda finer display of fearless and resolute batting was not seen during the season . Yorkshire wonby seven wickets . York- shire 86 and 196 (three wickets ),total 282 ; M.C.C. 162 and 118, total 280. O v e r s. M a i d e n s. R u n s. W i c k e t s. E.
