"W. G." made 48 before he was bowled by Mr. Taylor, hitting out of the ground several times: Chatterton, not out 57. _Britannia_ made 82 for nine wickets before time was called; Mr. Grace took seven of them. In a local account of the match the reporter remarks ironically that the "cadets _fielded_ very well," which scarcely does the _Britannia_ justice. Their second innings was not at all a bad performance against the bowling of Mycroft, Chatterton, and Grace, all of whom were accustomed to getting their share of wickets in first-class cricket. Among other matches played during this season, there is a phenomenal one against Torquay, in which _Britannia_ made over 200, and got Torquay out for 20. _Britannia_ also beat Teignbridge by 89, and Plymouth by 157. The editor gives some fatherly advice to cricket aspirants: "The practice at the nets is not all that it should be; instead of trying to play with care and learning to defend the wicket, by far the greater number of cadets seem to think it is a good opportunity for a slog. By all means play the ball hard, but it is the ruin of any boy's cricket when once he begins to slog at everything in practice." The bowlers are admonished for trying to bowl too fast and not keeping a good length; the fielding is "damned with faint praise," and finally certain cadets "who take a delight in playing the fool" at the nets are recommended, in good plain English, to stay away. Very good advice: let us take our cricket seriously, by all means.
