Harvard then opened her second innings by sending in Brown and Paul. Brown immediately settled down to work and played good cricket until he was caught by Mansfield off Bixby for 68. The rest of the XI, however, although they played with great steadiness, especially Ellis, were unable to make many runs. The venture finally closed for 92, Longwood thus winning by 54 runs.

...itself a great success, was made doubly interesting by the able oration of Mr. Wardner and the excellent poem of Mr. Post.
