The A principal matches w ill be found briefly described below . ETON v. H ARROW . 1st Inns. H arrow 140 E ton 64 H arrow w on by 112 runs. So man ifestly superior were the Harrow eleven tha t for once the Schools* match lost someth ing o f its interest. Despite the presence o f {0ur old “ ch o ic e s ”— Parav icin i, New ton , Ba inbridge , and Cave— the Etonians were weaker than they had been for perhaps fifteen years. Their chances o f success rested en tire ly w ith Parav icin i, whose dismissal m the first inn ings was fo llow ed by a complete breakdown . Though comparatively unfortunate in making runs, however, the ligh t blue captain fu lly sustained his reputation as a bow ler, 12 w ickets fa lling to him at a cost o f on ly 99 runs. The feature o f the match was certainly the innings o f 94 played by E. M. Hadow . This young cricketer, who was top scorer against E ton in the previous year, showed all the confidence o f a veteran, and made his runs in rea lly brilliant fashion. With the single exception o f Mr. Leslie, we have not for a considerable time seen such a punishing batsman in a school eleven. Everyone was sorry that his score did not reach three figures. As regards the other members o f the Harrow team, Shakerley seemed above the average o f school slow bowlers, and Bolitlio a very fair bat. A . F. Kemp managed his side well, and w ith a self-denial on ly too rare in captains who howl, went off d irectly he found himself ineffective. He is the third Kemp who has been captain at Harrow , and there is another to come. A n y reference to the match , however brief, wou ld be incomplete w ithout mention of Richards— one o f the smallest and pluckiest o f cricketers. In Eton’s second innings, when no hope o f v ictory remained, he hit in a style that took the spectators comp letely by surprise. HARROW. 1st Inns M. T. Baines, b Richards .................... 13 J.
