ESSEX; Although the earlier stages of this return match, begun at Leicester, were considerably spoiled by rain, the game, which was left un­ finished on Saturday night, was productive of some excellent all-round cricket. The play on the first day only extended over two hours, and during this time Leicestershire were able to score 65 for the loss of three wickets. On Friday there was no interruption, but still the batsmen were seen to some advantage, and when stumps were drawn only a little more than one innings had been completed. Warren and Pougher both played well for Leicestershire, but by far the best batting of the day was that of Mr. 0 . D. Buxton. He made 91, out of a total of 109, by brilliant cricket, and during the two hours and a half he was at the wickets he gave nothing like a chance. The young Harrovian, Mr. J. C. Bevington, too, batted well, though he gave two chances in his 45. On Saturday Leicestershire, who had scored well overnight for the loss of one batsman, were seen to great advantage in the second hands, and the captain thought it advisable to close his innings with the total 202 for seven wickets. Warren followed up his first score of 41 by a fine second innings of 80. He was batting two hours and forty minutes with oat a mis­ take. When Essex went in on Saturday afternoon only an hour and three-quarters remained, and in this time they succeeded so well as to make 120 runs for four wickets. Some excellent batting was shown, but special praise should be given to Mr. Johnston, who was not out at the finish with 58, thoroughly well got. L eicestersh ire . First Innings.

SOMERSETSHIRE. The Somersetshire Eleven avenged their defeat by Yorkshire in the first match of the season in the return, begun at Bradford on Thursday morning, winning after an excellent display of cricket, on Friday with six wickets to spare. The ground at the outset was slow from recent rains, and Yorkshire, who had won the toss,made a bad start,losing Ulyett and Hall for only two runs. To add to their misfortunes Mr. Frank, who went in second wicket down, had his hand so badly hurt by a ball from Mr. Woods that he had to give up batting. He was, moreover, unable to take any further part in the game, so that Yorkshire had to bat one short each time. With practically three men out for 13, matters did not look very promising for Yorkshire, but Peel and Wardall put a much better show on the game, hitting freely all round until the young professional was unfortunately run out. Peel on his retirement found a still more useful partner in Mr. Ernest Smith, and the pair in forty-five minutes added 88 , of which number the Oxonian contributed 41 by spirited hitting. Peel, who was not dismissed till the total had been raised to 140,had scored 70 out of 133 while he was in. He was batting for a little over an hour and a half, and though he ought to have been caught soon after he came in, none the less his innings was a most creditable display of cricket. After his departure very little was done and the innings came to an end by half-past three o’clock for a total of 175. Mr. Woods came out with the best batting average, having secured five wickets for just over twelve runs apiece. Somersetshire too made a very indifferent start, and the total was only eighteen with five wickets down, Wainwright having dismissed all these bats­ men in 46 balls at a cost of but eight runs. Messrs. L. C. Palairet and Woods, however, by resolute hitting, put quite a different com­ plexion on the game, so much so that in forty minutes no fewer than 87 runs had been added—a remarkable rate of scoring. Of this number Mr. Woods, who was the first to go, was responsible for as many as 50, the result of determined and well-judged hitting with only one chance. On his retirement Mr. Hill lent Mr. Palairet useful assistance, and fifty were added before the former was caught. When play closed at the end of the first day 167 had been scored for the loss of nine wickets. Of these Mr. Palairet had contributed 55 by cricket of the best character without a mistake. On Friday, Messrs. Robinson and Newton offered unexpected resistance for the last wicket, and their addition of 44 runs left Somersetshire with a useful lead of 26. Wainwright’s bowling was the distinctive feature of Yorkshire’s outing. He delivered thirty-five overs for 73 runs and seven wickets. The second innings of Yorkshire fluctuated in a remarkable fashion. Ulyett, who had failed the first time, was out for 2 , but a fine exhibition of cricket was given by Hall and the colt Wardall. Though both batsmen had some luck they were seen to great advantage, and in seventy minutes added 77 for the second wicket, Hall playing rather a freer game than usual. The latter was in less than an hour and a half, while Wardall’B43 occupied him seventy minutes. After their separation came a most extra­ ordinary collapse, and Mr. Woods, who bowled his fastest, performed with such effect upon the remaining batsmen that the last seven wickets were only able to add 30 runs. At half-past three on Friday Somerset­ shire went in with 91 to win, and the free cricket of Mr. Hewett, who scored 30 out o 39 while in, soon put the issue beyond doubt. Although after his dismissal Nichols, as well as Messrs. Palairet and Woods, soon followed, Messrs. Challen and Roe hit off the required runs without further loss, so that Somerset­ shire won with plenty in hand. Mr. Woods’ record for the match was eleven wickets for 126 runs, and his bowling contributed materially towards the result. Y orkshire . First Innings. Second Innings. Ulyett, c L.
