50 scoring 80 and 18. There was a great contrast in the batting of the two brothers, Mr. C.T. Studd being as steady and careful ns his brother was rapid and brilliant. The M.C.C. had rather the best of the draw. let Inns. 2nd Inns. Total May 30, M.C.C. and Ground 100 74 l 7 i* Lord's. Yorkshire 08 105 173 M.C.C. won by 8 wickets. This match was practically decided in the first hour. Having won the toss, Mr. Hornby put Yorkshire in to bat, the ground being rather wet especially at the pitch of the ball. The judgment of the Lancashire captain wa> amply borne out by the result. Six wickets fell for 15 runs, and after this*disastrous beginning the Yorkshiremcn never rallied. Not one batsman for the county scored 30. For the M.C.C., Mr. Hornby made 13 and 13, Mr. J. Sliuter 3 and (not out) 48, and Alfred Shaw (not out) 30. On both sides there was some capital bowling. Shaw took 9 wickets for 75 runs, and Mycroft 11 wickets for 78. In the M.C.C.’s first innings, Hill howled 20 overs, 12 maidens, for 18 runs and G wickets—a great per­ formance. 1st Inns. 2nd Inns. Total. June 2 , M.C.C. and Ground 262 231 493 Lord’s. Kent 224 53 277 M.C.C. won by 216 runs. The Kent bowling proved very harmless on a good wicket, George Ilearne lone being effective. Certainly the M.C.C. team on paper were not worth such scores as 2G2 and 231. Mr. A. F. J. Ford made 37 and 76, the Iiev. K. T. Thornton 11 and 55, Mr. J. Turner 65 and 5, Wheeler GGand 3 , and Mr. C. J. Showers 39 and 22 The feature of the match, however, was ihe splendid batting of Mr. Frank Penn, who in the first innings of the Kent made 102 . Unfortunately, he suffered so severely from the sun-heat that I k - could not go in a second time, and the effects prevented his taking part ni mam of the great matches subsequently. The other batsmen made no ' tnd against the bowling of Rylott and ^Mycroft. Between them, these i wo how lers took 18 Kent wickets. Rylott’s second innings analysis vras extraordinary—22 overs: 15 maidens, 13 runs, and Gwickets. let Inns. 2nd Inns. Total. June G, M.C.C. and Ground 101 9G 200 Uppingham. Uppingham School 41 133 174 M.C.C. won by 20 runs. The best batting for the boys was shown by Field and Eccles, who scored 5G and 44 respectively. let Inns. 2nd Inns. Total.
