In each case the result was a draw greatly in favour of the Croydon. The match at Croydon, between the first elevens, was remarkable for the good bowling performance of L. J. Turner, who in one over bowled down four wickets with consecutive balls. He had altogether the fine analysis of twelve overs, seven maidens, nine runs, seven wickets. THE HASTINGS & ST. LEONARDS CRICKET WEEK. NORTH v. SOUTH. The policy of the managers of the Has­ tings and St. Leonards Week has always been to give the highest class of entertain­ ment for the amusement of those who attend the annual festival on the Central Recreation ground at Hastings. Nor was this year any exception to the general rule. With a laudable desire to provide a new and attrac­ tive fixture, the executive had taken the earliest opportunity of sounding those interested as to the possibility of a match between the Champion County of the year and the Rest of England. There were many as well as obvious difficulties in the way of the arrangement of such a match, and the response soon showed that it was out of the question. In default of this, recourse was had to the programme which had proved so successful last autumn. This consisted of matches between North and South and Gentlemen and Players in the order given. On the whole, too, particu­ larly with the season in its very last stage, the management had been fortunate in collecting two strong sides for the opening match, commenced on Thursday last. There were two very notable absentees in Lockwood and Shrewsbury, and the absence of the most successful bowler and batsman of the year naturally deprived the game of some of its importance. With these exceptions, however, the elevens were representative, and the substitution of F. R. Spofforth for F. S. Jackson, the Cambridge captain, at the last moment added to, rather than detracted from, the public interest. Hastings had not been spared the heavy rainfall prevalent at the end of last week, and the ground at the outset on Thursday had not recovered from its effects. As a consequence, Crosfield, who captained the Northern eleven, was a little in doubt as to what course to take when he won the toss, and certainly the choice of innings was in this case little or no advan­ tage. As it was, the ground at the start gave the bowlers some assistance, aud the Northern batsmen had to play up hard for their runs. Woods and Lohmann, too, utilised the chance they had so well that neither had to be changed. Though the innings lasted two hours and a quarter runs came so slowly that only ninety-five were made in the time. Five of the eleven got double figures, and the credit of the high­ est score belonged to the last man, Spofforth, who contributed seventeen. Woods followed up his fine performance at Portsmouth on the previous day with auother excellent record, taking six wickets for only 39 runs. The commencement of the South’s innings hardly gave promise of the success which was in store. II. T. Hewett, the Somersetshire Captain, who had been scoring so heavily, was dismissed without a run, aud W.G. was also bad from Spofforth’s bowling for six. Sub­ sequently, however, the excellent cricket of Abel, Stoddart, O’Brien, and Lohmann enabled the South to put a totally different complexion on the game. Stoddart played in his best style, but the most attractive cricket for the spectators was just at the finish. The partnership of Abel and Lohmann, indeed, was the occasion of some fast scoring, and the last half-hour saw, without a doubt, the most attractive cricket of the opening stage. At the close of the first day the South had all the best of the game with 131 up and only half their wickets down. Abel, who was not out overnight, only added eight before he was caught. He had been batting altogether for two hours and a quarter, and there was not a mistake of any kind to detract from the merit of an excep­ tionally good performance. Lohmann’s 50, though not without a chance, was a capital display of free cricket. In a lesser degree, Ferris, Wood, and Martin did good work for the side, and the united efforts of the last three batsmen enabled the South to reach a very creditable total of 232. With arrears of 137 to make up, the North, under any cir­ cumstances, would have had a difficult task before them. As it was, the wicket had begun to wear, and Lohmann, utilising a spot made by Spofforth when he bowled, was seen to the very best advantage. Gunn and Wainwright played with confidence and judgment, but they were the exception. Their partnership of 47 runs was really the only noteworthy feature of the innings. Otherwise, though Peel, Crosfield, and Atte­ well all got double figures, no one looked like making a stand, and the innings, which had lasted about the same time as its predecessor, was over for 127. This left tfte South with an easy victory by an innings and ten runs. The credit of the success rested mainly with Lohmann, whose all-round cricket was the best feature of the match. In addition to his score of 60, he took iu all nine wickets at a cost of less than thirteen runs a-piece. N o r t h . First Innings. M r. C.
