For more than one reason it was very unfortu­ nate that this return match, concluded on the Trent Bridge Ground yesterday, should have been spoiled in a great measure by the weather. In the first place it was for the benefit of William Oscroft, who, it will be remembered, was prevented from having the match set apart for the same purpose last year, owing to the schism in the county. In this respect the fixture was only partially injured, but the game itself was ruined by the rain, and a match that under ordinarily favourable conditions would have been probably very interesting, was altogether spoiled. Of the three previous matches under the same title Notts had won two and drawn one, so that the county could claim an unbeaten certificate in their engagements with the Austra­ lians. Hence special interest was attached to this fourth meeting, and generally it was felt that if any county wras to lower the colours of the Colonists Notts had the best chance. Murdoch was, as usual, lucky in the toss, and decided to take the innings. The ground was slow after the recent heavy rains, and the bowlers had all the best of the day’s play. Alfred Shaw took five wickets for 48 runs, and Wright three for 13. Bannerman was in two hours for 26, but by far the best featu of the day was shown by Murdoch. The Au^ tralian captain has rarely indeed played better cricket. He gave a very hot return to Wright when he had got 54, but this was his only mis­ take. He had been in just three hours and scored 72 out of a total of 131. At the end of the first day Notts had lost five of their best wickets for 41 runs. Eleven runs were wanted to save the innings, but the good play of Gunn, who showed really excellent cricket for 26, and the free hitting of Shaw, improved matters on the second day considerably, and at the end of an innings the County was only 20 runs to the bad. When the Australians went in a second time, Notts had to bowl and field under the disadvantage of a wet ball and ground, and Massie, Murdoch, and McDonnell showed some good cricket. Massie scored 38 out of the first 53, and when play ceased for the day the score was 114 for only two wickets, Murdoch not out 22, McDonnell not out 41. On continuing yester­ day the latter hit freely until he was well caught at long-on. His score of 63 included one hit from Shaw clean out of the ground for six. It was one of the best innings he has played during the present year, The fielding of Notts was not up to the best stan­ dard, and Murdoch, McDonnell, and Bonnor were all missed. The wicket was drying from the morn­ ing’s rain when Notts went in a second time after luncheon. They had 233 to win, and the task was a hopeless one as the ground played. Spof­ forth and Boyle bowled with the greatest preci­ sion, and Blackham’s wicket-keeping helped to complete the downfall of the Nottingham eleven. Scotton made 10, and this was the one double figure. The innings only amounted to 48, and the Austra­ lians won easily by 184 runs. This is the last county match to be played by the Australians. They have now defeated every county team of any importance in England. Score and analyses :— First Innings. A. C. Bannerman, c Oscroft, S h a w .................................. H. H.

Lancashire is again undoubtedly the champion county of this as last season. The eleven played home-and-homo matches with Nottingham, York­ shire, Middlesex, Gloucestershire, Surrey, Kent, and Derbyshire, Of the 14, they won 10 and lost only one—the first match with Nottingham. Two cr- gagements were also made with Somersetshire. The team did not show quite the same form as in 1881, for three of the victories were gained by less than 30 runs. Barlow heads the averages both in batting and bowling. Mr. Hornby, owing to an injured shoulder, was not in his best form at the com­ mencement of the year, but he was playing geod cricket at the finish, though he was never quite the same batsman as in the previous year. Robinson shows good figures. He was a little out of luck in the early matches, but he hit with great succcss towards the close. Crossland did some sensational performances with the ball. The fairness of his delivery is, however, quite open to question. SUMMARY OF MATCHES. May 15,16.—At Lord’s, v. Marylebone. M.C.C. won by eight wickets.
