So very weak were the teams in this match that the M.C.C , even at tl last moment, would have done well to substitute some other fixture. It" absurd for a side to go into the field under the name of “ England,” when only prominent players were Selby, Oscroft, Foster, Wild, and Mr. R- 1 Smith. Either from the fact that they had had too much cricket aboi this period of the season, or because they were otherwise engaged, leading amateurs all stood out of the match. The M.C.C. followed tla­ inuing* in a minority of 111 , and yet won the matchwithsomething to ?1 at the finish. The victory was due to three professionals—Scotton, scored 4 and 100, Midwinter, who scored 65 and 29, and Mycroft, who t ’ eight wickets for 96 runs. For “ England,” Selby (missedbefore he scoro made 77 and 0, and Oscroft 28 and 41. . 1st Inns. 2nd Inns. Tut*/ July 7, M.C.C. and Ground 195 — Lancing.
