Royal Academy were soundly beaten by M.C.C. at Lord's yesterday, the club winning by 129 runs. Batting first, M.C.C. scored so freely — runs accruing at the rate of 100 an hour — that 327 were totalled for seven wickets, when the innings was declared. Royal Academy made a poor show in response. Appleyard played excellently, driving wonderfully hard and clean. His best hits were a 5, nine 4's, and four 3's. [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Sir A. Conan Doyle]] took four wickets for 44. Scores:—<br />
