The Eton and Harrow match this year was, if possible,

eves a greater success than usual. Although Eton won with the fair margin of seven wickets, there was a most anxious period for her supporters when 122 had to be made in the fourth innings of the match, and three good wickets were lost for 27 runs. This element of excitement was entirely owing to the liarrovians' really fine effort in their second innings, when, faced with a lead of 174, they made the excellent total of 295. Of these L. G. Crawley got 103 in a delightful innings. So once again this institution, which has lately undergone such fierce criticism from scholastic quarters, contrived to enchant everybody, spectators and performers alike.
