The second cricket match between the Longwood and Harvard cricket clubs was played yesterday afternoon on the grounds of the Longwood club. The game was began shortly after 2 P. M. with Harvard at the bat to face the bowling of Wright and Markoe. The batting of the Harvard team showed a great improvement since the Harvard team's first game, and consequently, though the bowling of the Longwood's was first rate, the total of 61 runs was made for Harvard. McKean batted brilliantly for 29, and Parker and Zerega played carefully for 11 and 10 respectively. The Longwoods followed almost immediately after the last Harvard man was out, but in spite of their strongest endeavors, they were not able to make more than 47 runs, the bowling of Joy and Smith being so excellent. Joy got 7 wickets for 20 runs; Mansfield batted carefully for 18, and Wright's 13 was very acceptable to Longood. The Harvard team deserves to be congratulated on the result of the game, especially as they were crippled by the absence of their captain, and with more practice bids fair to do credit to the name it bears.
