WESTMINSTER SCHOOL V. MUMMY COLLEGE,
CAMBRIDGE.—This match was played yesterday on the
Vincent-square ground, Westminster. Trinity College
took the batting first, which was good throughout. The
fielding on the part of the School was most praiseworthy,
and Mr. Cbsimberlayne's bowling was very effective. The
innings reached 109. The Westminster' made a good match
of it so far as it went, " Time* being milled when they had
obtained 95 runs for the loss of six wicket'. Mr. Preston's
13 were steadily got against good bowling, and Mr. Lane's
36 (not out) were gamed in • masterly manner. Mr.
Chamberlayne, too, showed that he could bat as well as
bowl, he taking his bat out with 18. The match was left
drawn, apparently in favour of the School, as they had but
14 runs to get to make • tie of it, with four wickets to go
down.

patetica" on Saturday, at Vincentaquare, Westminster.
The All England Eleven will play a match with
