CRICKET.

THE UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD v. THE
UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE.

One of the most brilliant and fashionable assemblages
ever seen at a cricket match assembled yesterday at Lord's
ground. The spectators were at least 6,000, including a
vast number of the fair sex. There was a complete block
of carriages, many of them containing fair occupants ; the
handsome turns-out of many fours•in-hand were also con-
spicuous. In the early part of the morning great attention
was paid to the ground to get good wickets, and they cer-
tainly played very well, but one morning's care is not suffi-
cient to get a ground in good order. Soon after 12 o'clock
the game commenced, Cambridge taking possession of the
wickets, Messrs. R. D. Walker and A. S. Teape being the
opponents with the ball. Mr. Tuck marked 7, in which was
a 2 ; and the Hon. T. de Grey contributed 12 very carefully
by two 4's and singles. Mr. Marshall did not score. Mr.
Scott went on bowling for a abort time, and succeeded in
disposing of Mr. Daniel for 7, in which were two 3's. The
Hon. C, G. Lyttelton here made a good stand, but lost his
companions successively to the close of the innings. Mr.
Booth narked 9 by some fine hits for 3 each, and Mr.
Plowden added a single. The others not scoring, the Hon.
C. G. Lyttelton carried out his bat with 20, obtained in a
dashing manner : among his figures were three 3's and a 2.
The bowling and general fielding of Oxford were in every
way excellent. The innings was over in less than two
hours. The wickets fell quickly, and in the following man-
ner—one for 17, two for 17, three for 19, four for 32, five for
32, six for 54, seven for 54, eight for 63, nine for 63, ten for
65. After a brief interval, Oxford sent to the wickets Mr.
T. P. Gamier and Mr. R. D. Walker against the bowling
of Mr. Plowden and Mr. Collins. Both batsmen began to
make runs immediately, which caused an impression that
Oxford would gain a much larger score than Cambridge;
but how far this was borne out the chances in cricket will
be shown in the sequel. Mr. Gamier, with a neat defence,
marked eight by a 4, a 3, and a single—one wicket and 17
runs. Mr. Wright came next, but did not add to the score
—two wickets and 19 runs. Mr. Bull then went to the
vacant wicket, but soon after Mr. Collins scat-
tered the stumps of Mr. Walker, after contribut-
ing 10, comprising a 4 and a 3 three wickets
and 19 runs. Messrs. Plowden and Collins were
bowling extremely well, and were aided by some excellent
fielding. Mr. Mitchell, a very fine bat, was got rid of for
two, Mr. Daniel cleverly catching him off Mr. Collins—four
wickets and 21 runs. Mr. Bull added a single only—five
wickets and 21 runs. Mr. Evans next faced Mr. Inge, but
the latter was smartly caught out directly after by the
wicket-keeper (Hon. C. G. Lyttelton) for s—six wickets
and 43 runs. Mr. Voules contributed 4, previous to which,
however, Mr. Evans was dismissed by Mr. Plowden for a
well-played innings of 25. in which were three 4's and three
3's—seven wickets and 56 runs. Mr. Haygarth did not
alter the score, neither did Mr. Teape. Mr.Voules's wicket
was the ninth to fall, Mr. Scott carrying his bat out without
scoring. Total of the innings, 59—six in a minority of their
opponents. Towards the close of the innings Mr. Helm
relieved Mr. Collins of the ball, and took a wicket. Fine
fielding throughout. Cambridge then entered on their second
innings, but only two made a stand—Hon. T. de Grey and
Mr. Helm ; the former went in first, and ably defended his
wicket, losing eight companions, his score of 24 comprised
a4,a 3, and five 2's. Mr. Helm quickly put his 11 runs
together, by three 3's and a 2. Mr. Hope Grant was not
out with 4, a 3, and a single. Messrs. Voules and Tespe's
bowling was first-class, as was also the out-fielding. Pre-
vious to the last wicket falling Mr. Scott took up the bowling
om Mr, Teape, and was successful in lowering the stumps.
Total of the innings, 61; leaving Oxford 68 to get to win.
One wicket fell for 0, two for 2, three for 6, four for 17, five
for 22, six for 28, seven for 36, eight for 45, nine for 48, tend
for 61. When the stumps were drawn for the day Oxford
had lost one wicket for 3 runs, the score standing. 61—total,
tas62.
