Though a fairly good side had been got to­ gether to oppose them at Harrogate on Monday, the Australians had the satisfaction of claim­ ing,and that, too,after having much the worst of the first half of the game, a very creditable victory by fifty-six runs. The England eleven included two local cricketers, Littlewood, the ground bowler of the Harrogate Club, and Mr. J. R. Watson, who played for Cambridge University against the Australian ;Team of 1882. Heavy rain prior to the match caused the pitch to be against run-getting at the start, and the]Australians, who had the choice, made a poor show on going in. Helped by the ground, the bowling of Briggs and Atte­ well proved too much for the majority of the batsmen, and of the total of 70 Bannerman and Trott were responsible for 41. In different styles this pair played very good cricket, the latter’s more lively 27 including an on-hit out of the ground for six. Bannerman, who went in first,*vvas the ninth wicket down, having made 14 out of 20 while he was in. When the Australians took the field, Turner and Ferris also found the wicket to their liking, and with five of the best batsmen out for 37, there did not seem to be much chance of the English eleven getting a lead. Briggs and Attewell, however,hitting out lustily,took the score from 52 for six to 93 for seven wickets, when the former was caught for a vigorous but some­ what lucky 23. Attewell retired a little later the ninth wicket for an exceedingly good 31, and with Pilling’s dismissal the innings closed for 111 , or 41 runs to the good. Before the end of the first day, Ferris and Worrall had made eleven for the Australians in their second innings without the loss of a wicket, and although Worrall hit vigorously on the second morning, the score was only 61 when the fifth batsman was out. Bannerman, who had gone in first wioket down, however, found a most valuable partner in Lyons, and the latter, if a little fortunate in placing the ball at times, hit well, scoring 30 of the 48 runs got before he was out. After Blackham’s retirement, too, Turner stayed with Bannerman, who had just before given the spectators a little sensation by hitting a ball of Attewell’s to square-leg out of the ground for six, and thanks to the new­ comer the score rose fast. Turner,after making m out of 44 runs, was caught at long on, and as Edwards and Jarvis were soon out, the innings closed for 168, the last five wickets having added 107 runs. Bannerman carried out his bat for 39, and when we add that he was over two hours and a half at the wickets, the value of his unwearying defence cam be properly estimated. The England eleven, with the ground favouring the bowlers^altogether, had a most difficult task to face when they went in on Tuesday afternoon, wanting 128 to win. They found it, too, quite beyond their capacities, with Turner and Ferris in their best fettle. Sug;g got 18 out of 27 while he was in by good hitting, but except Mr. Daft and Pilling no one else stayed long enough to afford any hopes of a suecess, and when the tenth wicket fell, 57 were still wanting to win. Turner and Ferris bowled unchanged during this innings, the latter having the better figures as will be seen. Of the thirty-five matches played so far, the Australians have won seventeen, drawn seven, and lost eleven. A ustralians . First Innings. P. S. McDonnell, c F. Hearne, b Attewell ... 9 A. C.

The Derbyshire eleven brought their season to a close with the return match against Surrey, begun at Kennington Oval on Mon­ day last. The home team were without their Captain, Mr. John Shuter, but with this ex­ ception had their full strength, while Derby­ shire was well represented, Mr. S. H.Evershed, who has represented the County very rarely of late, taking his place again in the eleven. Rain during the morning made the wicket slow at the commencement, but Derbyshire, who won the toss, failed to utilize their op­ portunity, and the total, when the fourth wicket fell, was only 24. Davidson and Mr. S. H. Evershed added 28, and Mr. Walker helped the former, who played by far the best cricket on the side, to raise the score to 72 for the sixth wicket. The later batsmen helped the side little, though, and the innings (which had lasted two-hours-and-a-half) closed for an ad­ dition of 17, making a total of 89. Davidson played well, and his 33 was an excellent display of batting, without a chance. Three of the Der­ byshire batsmen, it will be seen, sacrificed their wickets through want of care in running. The ground had not improved when the Surrey team came to bat; and Hall and Hulme bowled with such success that half the wickets were down with but 22 runs scored. A very useful stand, however, by Mr. Key and Henderson, put quite a new complexion on the game. The amateur did most of the scoring, and his partnership with Henderson resulted in an addition of sixty-two runs. Mr. Key was in an hour-and-ten-minutes for his 43, a most useful innings, at a very impor­ tant period of the game, and free from a mistake. Henderson, whose defensive cricket was worthy of the highest praise, was caught at the wicket soon after the resumption on Tuesday morning, but Wood, who was the other not out on Monday night, carried out his bat for an invaluable 27. The wicket on Tuesday enabled the bowlers to get a lot of work on, and when they went in a second time, none of the Derbyshire batsmen but Chatterton,who got 19 out of 34 during his stay, could do much with? Lohmann and Beaumont, The innings, indeed, only lasted an hour and thirty-five minutes, two of the eleven being run out. Beaumont took six, and Lohmann two wickets, but the latter, it must be added, bowled with the worst of luck, beating the bat frequently without success. W ith only nine­ teen to win, Surrey began their second inn­ ings at 1.50, and it was decided to finish the game without waiting for luncheon. The Derbyshire team supported the good bowl­ ing of Hall and Hulme so well, however, that twenty-five minutes were expended, and three batsmen dismissed, before the winning- hit was made by Maurice Read, giving Surrey the victory by seven wiokets. Hall, who varied his pace and pitoh with great judgment, bowled with great success for Derbyshire. In Surrey’s two innings he took seven wickets for an average of six runs. D e r b y s h ir e .
