THE GREA 2 RACQUET MATCH.

-~-----

CAMBRIDGE v. OXFORD.

The annual great double University Racquet
Match took place yesterday, at Prince's Club,
Hans-place, Chelsea. The event drew togztlier a
large attendance of visitors. His Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales was present, and the gallery,
which commanded a fine view of the exciting game,
was crowded to excess by the chief members of
the club. The champions selected to contend
for the honour of victory were Messrs. Maitland
and Phipps of Christ Church for Oxford, and Mr.
Warner of Trinity and Mr. Knight Bruce of Trinity
Hall for Cambridge. The game was to be the best
of seven rubbers, and at about half-past two the
former gentlemen entered the court amidst the
cheers of the visitors. The Oxford men wore their
white Guernsey trimmed with dark blue, whilst
those of Cambridge of course doned the light blue,
which, as the result will show, turned out the
winning colour.

The first game was rapidly and well played,
and was won by Cambridge-15 to 7. The se-
cond also fell to Cambridge-15 to 6. At this
point the cheers of the light blue party was enthu-
siastic, as it seemed to portend that Cambridge
was going to sweep off the laurels in quick
and speedy fashion. The third game, however,
fell to Oxford-15 to 10 ; and this circumstance
gave energy and spirit to the dark blue champions
as they went in " with a will," for the next game
was called 14 all set to 3, which Oxford went in
and won. The fifth game was then commenced
amidst a great deal of doubt and anxiety ; both
Universities stood equal. This feeling was
intensified by the fact that when the game
was called the result was 13 all set
to 5, which Oxford went in and got. The
dark blue party were jubilant, but the sixth game
added fresh interest to the match, as it ended in
favour of Cambridge-15 to 3. Thus it stood
three to Oxford and three to Cambridge ; and
when the champions went in for the last and win-
ning rubber the greatest excitement and interest
prevailed. Every point was watched with the
utmost interest ; as the score rose so did the excite-
ment, and when 10-11 was called, Warner went
in in the most determined and vigorous manner, and
won the game " right off the reel," and thus Cam-
bridge was placed in a majority—the score standing
Cambridge, 4 ; Oxford, 3.

The game was well contested throughout, but it
could not be said that any fine play was exhibited
during the contest. The style was not that of the
Dyke year, and although now and then a fine hit
was made, there was too much " wood" heard to
be either stylish or satisfactory.
The Cambridge victors, notwithstanding this,
were hailed with loud cheers, and the light blue
party seemed quite satisfied with the result of the
arduous contest of the day.
