CRICKAT.

THE 1-741MAITIT1 OP OXFoRn AAP l'AMmuntiff—The annual
match between Oxford and Cambridge Universities was played at
Lord's y the weather being all that could be desired.
Great pains 'been bestowed by Jordan and his assistants is
getting the ground into good order. An excellent intro( wickets
was selected, and Oxford, upon whom the betting was previously
to 4, rose immediately to 6 to 4 when it was announced
that they had won the toss. Precious to the bell ringing for
play, at a little before it. there was • very large number of spec-
tators, including an unusual number of ladies, present, and pre.:
elect, at 11.12p.m. Messrs. Tri Goo and Case were selected to ono-
rate for Oxford against the bowling of Messrs. Absolom and
Pethiun, the latter from the Pavllion end. The former
opened by delivering to Mr. Trltton, who made •
single off the first bell. Mr. Pelham elicited the first
cheer for a pretty hit of fielding at slip. That Oxford
meant hitting rather than defence became at once apparent, by
the plucky manner in which they faced and disposed of the
Cantab's deliveries. no heavily did Mr. Pelham's third and last
Ewers get punished, two fours being got oft two succeeding balls,
that he ndinquithed in favour of Mr. Brune, when the score
was at 17. The nest noteworthy event was • let off" by Mr.
Pelham at slip, of Mr. Trftton when be had made four only; a
ball of Mr. Abeelom's going straight to him. When the total
had reached 22, of which Mr. Tritton had made half • dozen,
he was caught by the long-stop in hitting round to leg at • ball
of Mr. Brune's, letting ID Mr. DSOS% who ably seconded hie
partner, and the pair conjointly put on another 20, when Mr.
Dishy was easily caught and bowled by Mr. Brune, eliciting •
prolonged Cambridge tin er Mr. Boyle joined Mr. Case. who
with the second ball of Mr. Absolom afterwards had his middle
stilton carried away, having made 21, by three fours, three twos,
&c. The very next ball settled Mr. Maitland, so that the second,
third, and fourth wickets, all collapsed with the score at 42.
Messrs Carter ard Kenney were next associated, and at the end
of an boar 00 were placed upon record. When 70 were tele-
• change was instituted in the bowling, Mr.
too relieving Mr. Brune at the Pavilion end. Mr. Also-
loni next oocasioned the retirement of Mr. Kenney, and again
did the Cambridge howler obtain two wickets with two con-
accuUve halls, and again was he cheered luAlly, when Mr. Hills
had to return with a cypher. Mr. Held was next In, and with
Mr. Carter continued to hit freely and well, till at ne Mr.
Brune went on again at his old wicket, and his third ball Mr.
Carter played " on," after making 25 in a masterly manner, by
fee fours, a three, Arc., for which he was loudly cheered. Mr.
Miles did not score, as his coadjutor, Mr. Reid, was clean
bowled by Mr. Absolom, after contributing 2l by excellent play,
in which were included three threes and three twos. Thus the
innings closed at 1.51 for 112, having occupied just one hour and
three-quarters. The defensive play of the Oxonians was by so
means conapkuous, and the (Utah& fielding suffered greatly by
comparison with that which we have been accustomed SO look
on In tines past. The wickets In this Innings fell thus—one for
22, two, thrill, and four for 42. five for 47, sit for 64, seven and
eight for tet, nine for tie, and ten for lit The Cambridge
bowllogi showed Mr. Atholoni to have delivered 27 corers, seven
maidens, fur 61 runs and Pee wickets ; Mr. Pelham thirteen over.
for eleven runs; Mr. Brune 20 01,e11, Il maidens, for 22 nuns
and five wickets ; Mr. Lytteltou four over*, .ten madden, for
11 runs. Cambridge began batting with Messrs. Winter and
J. M. Richardson ; the latter was bowled by a " break-hack," In
Mr. Kenny's fourth over, with the score at 0. Mr. H. A.
Richardson succeeded, and with Mr. Winter endeavoured to
make themselves masters of the situation, lip steady, defensive
play, • phase which the batting up to now had not exhibited.
At dinner call 30 runs were gut for one wicket. Afterwards the
ground presented a most animated appearance, there being
altogether nearly 0,000 spectators who formed a dense circle
all round, the inner radius of which was composed principally
of ladies reclining on the grass then there was a living wall of
anxious spectators, includrqg hundreds of old university men
and lovers of the game, both amateur and professional,
from every county. This compact mason( pedestrians was flanked
by rows of carriages, three and four abreast, and by equestrians
innumerable. The Grand Stand. too, from which a splendid
view of the game could be obtained, was quite full, and highly
appreciated for the comfort It afforded. A portion of
Use space was courteously allotted for the use of the press.
on no similar occasion have we witnessed • more numerous,
fashionable, and entinalotic multitude at lord's than was worm.
bled there yesterday. After dinner the cricket was all that
could be desired the fielding of Oxford &dm.
