Clifton won the toss and put Cheltenham in to bat, it being generally thought that the wicket would improve. On the first day it seemed as though this proceeding would cost Clifton the match, but on the second, the batting of Cheltenham was decidedly feeble, and the visiting team gained a most creditable victory. Mr. K. J. Key, the Clifton captain, scored an admirable 00 and 1, Mr. C. C. Bradford made 20 and 46, Mr. C. D. Sandford 5 and 34, and Mr. J. H. Brain 7 and 18. The best scorers for Cheltenham were Mr. A. Heath 84 and 0, Mr. H. A. Hornby 33 and 10 , Mr. Y. E. Furguson 17 (not out) and 20, and Mr. A. Robinson 21 and 3 . In the second innings of Cheltenham eight batsmen only made 16 runs between them. The breakdown was chiefly caused by the bowling of Messrs. Fow ler and Brain, the former taking 5 wickets for 28 runs and the latter 3 wickets for 7 runs. Twelve matches have now been played— Clifton has won 6 , Chelten­ ham 3 , and 3 have been left unfinished. A I d m m * CHARTERHOUSE SCHOOL v. W E L L IN G T O N COLLEGE . 1st Inns. 2nd Inns. Total.

Seven members of the Wellington team got into double figures, the best batting being shown by Messrs. C. F. Bunbury (42), A. C. Croom (39), M. H. Milner (38), and F. A. Browning (22).

But for the poor batting of Uppingham in the second innings there would doubtless have been a close finish. Mr. B. W . Spilsbury was top scorer for Repton with 72 and 1 (not out). Mr. F. G. J. Ford made 54 and 8 (not out), and Mr. A. Cochrane 41. For Uppingham, Mr. C. G. Stone scored 84 and 1, Mr. L. Orford 22 and 25, and Mr. L. Martineau 18 and 7 .
