Yorkshirewas the ChampionCounty in 1867, 1870 and 1893; 1893 was perhaps their best year, seeing that they played more matches (31) than in any previous year; though in 1867 they won every match (7) played, and in 1870 lost none. Yorkshire stood at the bottom of the first- class county list in 1865 and 1866, when they won no match in either year. 9. Where the matches have been played in Y o r k s h ir e 136 at Sheffield; Middlesboro’, 3 ; Scarborough, 23 ; Leeds. 10 ; Dewsbury, 15 ; Bradford, 42 ; Hud­ dersfield, 28 ; Holbeck, 2; Halifax, 8; Hull, 3 ; York, 1; Wakefield, 1; Hunslet, 1 ; or 273 home-matches altogether. “ Shef­ field ” means Bramall Lane since 1855, when Yorkshire played their first county match there—v. Sussex. Before that year, Hyde Park was the Sheffield County Ground ; this was opened in 1829. Prior to 1829, Darnall was the capital of York­ shire cricket; Ripon, as early as 1813, proving a formidable rival. 10. In 1889, the M.C.C. match at Lord’s was abandoned, owing to rain ; in 1891 both the M.C.C. matches, at Lord’s and at Scarborough, had to be given up through rain. 11. The President of the County Club from its formation has been Mr. M. J. Ellison ; the secretary (for almost as long), Mr. J. B. Wostinholm. N.B.—My next •*Notch ” will be about Yorkshire batsmen and bowlers, for whom there is no space here. T om A dam s . The old man “passed aw av very quietly at a quarter past eleven on Saturday night last,” so writes his daughter ; and she adds, “ I thought it would be his wish for you to be the first to know it.” It was only on Christmas eve that he sent me Felix’s water-colour drawing of Tom Barker. There are none left now of the famous Kent eleven. NEWARK CRICKET CLUB. C omplete S ummary of the S eason ’8 M atches . P layers ’ A verages for 1893. May 6—Newark, v. Notts Amateurs. Drawn.
