Notts, in reply, scored 326 for two wickets, the match being drawn. In addition several friendly matches were played, and in these two centuries were scored, with some other good innings. E. do W. K. Winlaw, who won his Blue for the first time last year, scored • 115 not out for Cambridge against Sussex, and E. J. Gregory contributed 111 to Surrey's total against M.C.C.
