THE UNIVERSITY CRICKET MA.TCH.

The annual contest between the universities of Oxford
and Cambridge was continued yesterday. Cambridge
commenced their second innings by sending in Dale and
Tobin, the dark blue bowlers being Francis and Belcher.
In the latter's third over, Tobin played a ball into his
wicket, the score denoting six. The Cambridge captain
followed, and another piece of bad luck attended Cam-
bridge, as, after making six, he also played a ball
" on," as did Fryer the succeeding one. The score
was at ten when both these wickets came to grief.
This was a succession of bad luck for Cambridge. How-
ever, Thornton proved a more abiding partner, and they
soon hit off the balance against them, but when forty runs
had been booked Butler went on at Belcher's end, and got
Thornton caught at long on. Scott, who followed, put a
ball up at point, which was taken, so that
the fourth and fifth wickets both went when
the score was at forty. The batting of Dale
and Yardley was so steady and good that they put on
runs at a greatly improved rate, and obtained as many as
22 off six overs, and by 1.20 eighty runs were posted.
Here Belcher gave was to Hill, but he got " peppered"
considerably, as many as eight being hit off his first over.
The light blue cheers now preponderated as the score
tended upwards, and they were redoubled when
at half - past one 100 appeared on the telegraph.
At 107 Hadow's round - arm slows were tried, and
when 20 had been added to the score Fortescue
was put on in place of Hadow. Still the scoring con-
tinued. At 1.50 Francis supersed Fortescue, and Belcher
Hill ; and then there was a grand and general shouting
when Ottaway caught Dale off a magnificent hit to long leg
with one hand close to the ring of spectators. Dale played
a faultless and fine free hitting innings of 67, and was
loudly cheered " all round," as was Ottaway for his fine
catch. Mackinnon joined Yardley, who continued his
brilliant career, and that, too, despite the frequent
changes of bowling, which by this time appeared to have
got into a complete " tangle." They played on till
luncheon time, when the total was up to 176. On resum-
ing play the light blue ran up the score to 206. After
some very exciting play Cambridge won the game by two
runs, the score standing thus :—Cambridge, Ist innings,
147 ; 2d innings, 206 ; Oxford, Ist innings, 175; 2d in-
nings, 176.
