Harvard Defeats Longwood.

The cricket eleven played its first game with Longwood on Saturday, and succeeded in winning by an inning and 27 runs. The game began shortly after twelve o'clock Brown, and Quinby facing the bowling of Dutton and Bixby. Shortly afterwards Quinby was run out, and was succeeded by Frost, who soon met with a like fate. Balch followed with a fine exibition of defence, while Brown rolled up the runs. Balch finally seccumbed to Wright with ten runs to his credit, and Markoe took his place. He was retired for five. Ellis then joined Brown, but was soon disposed of by Wright for six. Clyde and King followed, the latter adding two to the score. Hunnewell took King's place, and played in excellent form until bowled by Wright for five. Then Sullivan was neatly caught at square leg by P. Mansfield, and Whiting was bowled out by Dutton. Brown thus far carried his bat, having made sixty-one runs.

In the innings of Longwood, which followed the fielding of the college eleven was all that could be desired, Frost's three difficult catches being especially notable. The throwing in was sharp and accurate, and but few runs were gained through overthrows. Brown's bowling proved too much for the Longwood men, who were all retired for 46 runs. The following is the score:
