The Derbyshire eleven brought their season to a close at Leyton on Tuesday, when they defeated Essex, with eight wickets to spare. Derbyshire went in first, and at one time seemed likely to make a good score—the total at luncheon-time being 101 with three batsmen out. Davidson and Chatterton, by good batting, put on 110 runs for the fourth wicket, but the later batsmen failed altogether, and the last six wickets only added 28 runs. Mr. Bishop, after bowling without success at one end, went on at the other at 160, and rapidly disposed of the remaining batsmen, delivering 9 overs for 11 runs and 7 wickets— a remarkable performance. Mr. Buxton batted in excellent form each time, but received little support, except from Bastow in the second innings, and at no period of the game had Essex any real chance. Davidson took ten Essex wickets for an average of exactly ten runs. D e r b y s h ir e . First Innings. YORKSHIRE v. NOTTS. The matches between these great Northern shires rarely produce fast scoring, and the return, begun at Sheffield on Monday, quite maintained the character of these contests. Notts, who won the toss, were in all the first day for 241, and on the second day, the York- shiremen scored at even a lower rate, losing eight wickets as the result of the day’s play for an aggregate of 214. Thanks to some good cricket by the tail yesterday, Yorkshire had a lead of 17 runs at the end of an innings, Wade and Hunter adding 64 for the last wicket When they went in a second time, with the exception of Barnes, who played in his best form, none of the batsmen of Notts did much, and Preston bowled with great effect at the finish, taking five wickets at a cost of only 10 runs. This left Yorkshire wanting; 119 to win, and though Bates hit in his most" brilliant style for 63, they just failed to secure an actual victory. The Yorkshire batsmen tried their utmost to make the runs in the ninety-five minutes that remained. Lee, Peel, Wade and Hunter, in their anxiety to scores were all stumped, and Preston, too, was run out. In spite of all their efforts, though, Notts were able to avert defeat, Yorkshire wanting 3 runs to win with two wickets to fall. Bates made 63 out of 91 runs in fifty- seven minutes. N otts .

The Middlesex eleven brought their season to a close in sensational style at Clifton yester­ day, winning their last engagement, begun on Mondav, with only one wicket to spare. The matches between these counties are universally productive of high scoring, and this meeting was not an exception to the rule, 903 runs being scored in three days. Mr. E. A. Nepean, of the Oxford eleven, made, his first appearance for Mid­ dlesex and with success, scoring exactly a hundred in his two innings by good, steady cricket. Gloucestershire, for whom Messrs. W. G. Grace and Radcliffe were the principal scorers, had a lead of 45 on the first hands, and though dismissed in their second innings for 194 had apparently all the best of the game until yesterdayhad far advanced. At luncheon time Middlesex, after losing half of their wickets,were only 20runs on, and there seemed every prospect; of a win for Gloucestershire. Messrs. O’Brien and Ford, however, hit so -freely that the cfrances of Middlesex improved materially, and thanks to some useful cricket subsequently by . West, Burton and Mr. Welman, they were able to claim a very creditable victory. The last batsman, Mr. Welman, came imvvith 21 still wanting to win, and- after he had been missed at the wicket the game was won only ten minutes before time. Mr. O’Brien’s innings of 83 was freo from a mistake. Second Innings. O. M. R. W. 9 31 1 G lo u c e s t e r sh ir e . First Innings. Dr. W. G. Grace, c Stod­ dart, b Burton.............. 63 Dr. E. M.
