A remarkable stand by Mr. Kortright, an Old Tonbridgian, and Pickett towards tho close of their innings enabled Essex to gain a very deoisive victory in this match, played at Southampton on Monday and Tuesday. W in­ ning the toss, the Essex Eleven made 4£4 before the[ last wicket fell, and as they were only in three hours and three-quarters, it will be seen they scored at an average rate of 113 runs an hour. The performance of the two Essex men named was quite out of the com­ mon. They added no less than 244 runs for the eighth wicket, Pickett making his 114 in an hour and a half, Mr. Kortright 168 in an hour and three-quarters. Altogether on Mon­ day 543 runs were made for fifteen wickets. Though in the second innings Jon Tuesday every one of the Hampshire eleven got double figures, and in the matoh the team had a creditable aggregate of 884, Essex got too long a lead to give them anything of a chance, and they were beaten by an innings and 40 runs. Neither County was in full strength, as Essex were without Messrs. O. D. Buxton, A. S. Johnston, A. P. Lucas, and H. G. Owen, and Hampshire without Messrs. H. W. Forster, F. E. Lacey, and E. G. Wynyard. E ss e x , Mr. J. J. Read, bBald­ win ..................... 32 Carpenter, b Baldwin 65 Barns, c and b Soar... 5 Mr.D.

The Leicestershire Eleven did a very credit­ able performance at Birmingham this week, defeating Warwickshire yesterday after a plucky uphill game by two wickets. On the first day there was very little to choose between the two counties, and indeed, when an innings had been completed by each side, there was only a difference of 5 runs in favor of the home team. In their second attempt War­ wickshire were seen to better advantage, and the result was a total of 202. The credit of this performance rested mainly with Mr. Docker and West. Both batsmen hit freely and well, although the Amateur should have been caught twice just before he was out. With 208 to win, Leicestershire lost Wheeler and Warren for only 36 runs. Mr. de Traf- ford’ s hitting, however, again proved of great service to tho side, and some good crioket by Pougher and Holland had raised the total to 134 for three wickets, when play ceased on Tuesday. This left the Leicestershire men with seven wickets to get the balance of 74 runs, and these were obtained for the loss of five more batsmen. This success was due in a very great measure to the excellent batting of Pougner, and his all-round cricket was de­ cidedly the best feature of the match. It is never, under the most favourable conditions, an easy task to make over two hundred runs in a fourth innings, and Leicestershire, there­ fore, deserve all the credit of an exceptionally good performance.

Though they made a fairly good fight in this ■match, began at Derby on Monday, the Derby­ shire eleven found their neighbours of Notts too much for them, and yesterday saw them beaten by seven wickets. Though Mr. Robin­ son, who opened the batting for Notts with Shrewsbury, was bowled without a run, the latter and Gunn soon got the measure of the Derbyshire bowling, and when rain stopped play for the day, just before half-past four o'clook on Monday, they were still in with the total 142, Shrewsbury 42, and Gunn 57. The wicket, as was only natural, showed the effects of the overnight rain on Tuesday, and the nine remaining wickets of Notts were dismissed for an addition of 92 runs. Shrews­ bury and Gunn had put on 149 runs for the second wicket in two hours and a half, and in each case the batting was thoroughly worthy of the high reputation of the batsmen. Shrewsbury was in altogether three hours for his 68, and after his recent ill-luck his success was exceedingly popular. In spite of the good cricket of Chatterton, who played the Notts bowlers for over two hours without a mistake, and Bagshaw in the early part of the innings, the Derbyshire tail lent such slight assistance that the last five wickets only added 43, and tho day's play closed with the dismissal of the llast batsman (Storer) with the total at 138. Derbyshire had accordingly to follow on yesterday in a minority of 96 runs, and though they made a plucky attempt to save the game, Notts were able to get the 86 runs wanted to win for the loss of threo batsmen. There were six double figures in the sccond innings of Derbyshire, and Hall, who hit with great freedom, was the highest scorer with 37 not out. N otts . First Innings. Mr. J. S.
