C a m b r i d g eU n i v e r s i t y. Cambridge, M a y21, 22, 23. Oneof the two victories that fell to the Cambridge Eleven during the season. Lord H a w k e, and Mr. F. S. JacksonandE. Smith, were away, but other- wise the county had its full strength . Going in first , the University were dismissed for 155. The credit of even this , by no means large score , rested with the Freshman, Mr. F. Mitchell , whobegan the batting , and was ninth out, having made75 out of 145. As it was, Yorkshire were eight runs behind at the end of an innings , Brownhaving contributed 42 of their total of 147. Showers kept the ground easy, and with a wet ball , the Yorkshire bowlers were at such a disadvan- tage, that the University were able to close their innings with 340 for seven wickets . Mr. Mitchell was again at his best , with 92 out of 178. In the match hescored 167 runs . Withonly three hours left for play, and 349 to win, Yorkshire's only hope was a draw. Moorhouse, who had been hurt early in the match, unfortunately for them, was unable to bat in either innings , and in spite of a good score of 54 by Mounsey, late in the innings , Yorkshire were beaten by 119 runs. Cambridge University , 155 and 340 (seven wickets , innings closed ) ; total , 495. Yorkshire, 147 and 229; total , 376. Yorkshirev. Liverpoola n dDistrict. Liverpool , June 21, 22, 23. Though without Lord Hawkeas well as Messrs . Jackson , Smith, and Sellers , Yorkshire had an easy victory . Mr. A. G. Steel made 70 for Liverpool in the second innings in just his old style , and Mr. T. Ainscough , a left -handed batsman, got fifty in the first by very creditable cricket . The Liverpool bowling though, suffered considerably by comparison with that of Yorkshire . B r o w n ' s batting was one of the chief factors in Yorkshire's success . WithHunter (25 not out), he put on 121 for the last wicket , and his score of 141 was only the result of two hours and a quarter's batting . Foster took eleven wickets for Yorkshire , at a cost of eight and a half runs a piece . Yorkshire won by ten wickets . Yorkshire , 306 and 4 (no wicket ) ; total , 310. Liverpool , 153 and 154 ; total , 307-
