J u n e 6 , 1895. CKICKEL': A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 187 HAMPSHIRE V. DERBYSHIRE. Following up their meritorious win over Somerset, Hampshire at Southampton on Monday made a very good display against the northern county. Neither side was at full strength. Batting on a good hard wicket, Hill and Forster played good cricket, and the total re iched 44 before the latter was out. Hill soon followed, but Ward and Barton scored freely until a good left handed catch sent Barton back for 41, a fine innings made in 100 minutes. 6*2 in 65 minutes was the record for the third wicket. Ward’s 38 occupied the same time as Barton’s innings. Bencraft and Soar for the seventh partnership hit away merrily, and 54 were added by them in 43 minutes. After­ wards, with Captain Barton for a partner, Bencraft put on 60 in 70 minutes. His not out 62 was a capital performance. He was batting for two hours and 20 minutes, and hit seven 4’s, a three, and seven 2’s. Derbyshire lost one wicket on Monday for five runs, and on resuming on Tuesday collapsed altogether before Soar and Baldwin. The wicket, though it kicked a little, did not account for such a collapse as is represented, by a defeat by an innings and 79 runs. Soar and Baldwin bowled remarkably well, and the fielding was accurate and smart. In the first innings of Derbyshire, when the score was 40, Chatterton, Bennett, Davidson, and Storer, were all dismissed without the addition of a run, and the whole side was out at 82. In the follow on, the only innings of note was that of Davidson, whose 32 was a capital display of good stylish cricket. His association with Storer produced 45 runs in just over half-an-hour. In the two innings Soar took eleven wickets for 113, and Baldwin eight for 93. Dean, the wicketkeeper from Eastleigh, kept remarkably well, and in the second innings disposed of half the Derbyshire bats­ men. This victory, immediately after the splendid win over Somerset, when the game looked irretriev­ ably lost, will make Hampshire’s engagements in the championship full of interest.

England hails from Somescotes. Derbyshire, and bids fair to prove a most useful bowler for the Hadleign Club. ESSEX v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Essex’ supporters took advantage o f the Bank Holiday on Monday to visit Leyton to the number of about 8,000. A. P. Lucas for the first time this season assisted his side and C. E. de Trafford was once more able to play. The feature of the day’s play was the remarkable achievement of Pickett, who did for Essex what Richardson on last June did against them, taking the whole ten wickets of Leicestershire. They cost him 32 runs only, and though helped by the ground, which was very fast and somewhat fiery, his success was due to grand bowling. He kept a splendid length throughout. A collection made for him on the ground realised nearly £20. The batting o f Leicestershire calls for little comment. Chapman was in seventy minutes for 14, but De Trafford hit well for his 29, and W oodcock’s 20 was made up of five 4’s, four of which he scored in Kortright’s first over after lunch. Essex fielded very smartly and the innings was all over in just under two hours for 111. Badly as Leicestershire had done Essex began even worse, and five wickets went down for 21 against the bowling of Pougher and W oodcock. Then McGahey and Burns played well and Burns who was, however, let off in the slips when 16, made 37 out of 49 for the sixth wicket in thirty- five minutes, in the most plucky style. Mead also hit out boldly in his not out 25, though he should have been run out when 6. Of 97 runs from the bat, the three above-named made 89, leaving a run apiece for the other eight. In the thirty-five minutes left for play after Holland was out De Trafford hit in fine style, and 54 were registered without further loss. On Tues­ day Leicestershire added 136 runs in three hours and a-half, and this not over brilliant result was attained only after Chapman who made 56 had been missed from an easy chance soon after starting. Kortright bowled very successfully. One of his balls gave Chap­ man a nasty blow, and from the next that batsman was caught. Carpenter and Owen commenced Essex’ task o f 199 to win, McGahey, however, was the only batsman to make any stay. His 54, a finely hit innings, included a 5, eight 4’s, &c., and when stumps were drawn 101 runs were still required with five wickets gone. On Saturday wickets tell fast before Pougher and W oodcock, and the last five men added but 25 runs, Leicestershire winning by 75 runs. Score and analysis:— L eicestersh ire . First Innings.

The weather was dull and gloomy and the wicket difficult from rain wrhen these counties met btfore a large holiday crowd at Edgbaston on Monday. Run- getting was not easy, and the whole day, with the exception of a few minutes, was occupied with Warwickshire’s first innings of 225. The start was by no means brilliant, as Baiabridge was badly run out, and Walter Quaife and Rhodes had both gone before the total exceeded 33. W . G. Quaife and Lilley offered a longer resistance to the bowling, and 35 were added for the fourth wicket. Then Lilley before he foolishly ran himself out. with Docker, put on 45 more. Lilley’s 40 was made by capital cricket. Docker had been missed when only 6, but his 43 was well hit and a very valuable innings. His partnership with Hill realized 31, and after the latter was out leg befere at 167, Santall and Pallett put on, one more run for the eighth wicket. The formers 38 not out was a very careful display, extend­ ing over more than two hours. The Kent bowling was very good and the fielding close. Having scored 2 runs without loss on the previous evening, Kent, on Tuesday, just headed their opponent’s score by 4 runs in exactly the same time as Warwick’sinnings. In the early stages theplay was very slow Alec Hearne batting seventy minutes for 17 runs, W right neaily two hours for 32, and Fasby an hour lor 11. The best display by far was W . L. Knowles’ 79, made in two and a half hours without a chance. His partnership with Martin for the ninth wicket realised 42. The game was stopped, on account of defective light, ten minutes before time, when Bainbridgeand VV. Quaife had made 35 in Warwickshire’s second innings without loss. Scoring was still slow on Wednesday at starting, but on W . G. Quaife succeeding his brother, the pace quickened. Martin was the only Kent bowler to prove effective, and runs came steadily until, with three wickets down for 210, Bainbridge declared his innings closed. There was no time for Kent to win, but Easby and Weigall soon made a draw certain, and three wickets only had fallen for 105 when stumps were drawn. Score and analysis :— W a r w ic k sh ir e . Mr.H.
