R ash- leigh, had the assistance o f G. J . M o rd au n t and R . S. Baiss, of O xford , comm enced th e ir contest ag ain st the N o rth e rn C ou n ty w ith very fa ir success. M ason and Easby were soon disposed of, b u t A lec H earae and M o rd au n t played good and careful cricket, and L e F le m in g h it in fine style fo r h is runs. S low cricke t follow ed, B . D . B annon being in an hour fo r 12 runs and the s ix th w icket fa llin g fo r 130. Th en M a rch a n t an d B aiss became partners and a ca p ita l stand was m ade, the 200 go in g up before they were parted. M a rch a n t h ittin g freely an d Baisa p la yin g a cautious gam e. T h e last fo u r w ickets fe ll when as m any runs had been added to th e 200, and Y o rk sh ire , in h alf-a n -h o u r’s battin g in a bad lig h t, lo st T u n n icliffe an d Jackson for ' 2 d. T hough ra in fe ll h eavily a t n ig h t th e w icket played w e ll on F rid a y , and B row n and D enton, both of w hom were m iased in the field, took the score to 120 before they were parted. B row n ’s was not a first-class innings, bu t it was m ost serviceable to h is side. Denton, ap art from an early chance, played in good style fo r h i8run8. A fte r they le ft, the b a ttin g ra th er broke dow n fo r a tim e, five being out fo r 157, b u t some good p la y by L an ca ster and H irs t p u t Y o rk sh ire seven runs on for the first innings. In K e n t’s second attem pt M ason played fine cricket fro m the start, and though H earne w’as out a t 10, E a sb y an d he p u t on 54 fo r th e second w icket. M o rd au n t also batted w ell and 88 m ore were added fo r the th ird partnership. L e F le m in g and M ason played out tim e, b u t early on Saturd ay the latte r w as ou t fo r 66, w ith scarcely a bad stroke du rin g tw o h ours and tw enty-five m inutes. Som e very even b a ttin g b y B annon, M archan t, Baiss, and W rig h t, a ll o f w hom scored between 20 and 30, took the score to 253, w hen w ith e ig h t w ickets do* n th e in nin gs w as declared. Y o rk sh ire had 247 to get in three hours, an d a t one tim e there looked a chance o f the gam e being finished, Jackson and D en ton m akin g 79 in fifty m in u te i fo r the second w icket. H ow ever, afte r Jackson le ft fo r 81 ou t of 138 in tw o hours (w ith chances a t 25 an d 26) a finely h it score, and B row n also was bow led in try in g to h it, Y o rk sh ire played fo r a draw w h ich d u ly resulted.

PLAYERS. T hough neither side was representative, ow ing to eight of the leading counties being engaged, yet strong team s 1-ad been selected by the Surrey execu­ tive, and the reappearance o f George Loh m an n in th is m atch, comm enced at the O val last T h ursday, could n ot fa il to im p a rt to it a special and w idely fe lt in ­ terest. Three days’ fu ll cricket were played, and in the end the gam e was a draw , 1,062 runs being scored, and the Players at the close w antin g 29 runs to win, w ith five w ickets to fa ll. The first in nin gs of the G entlem en occupied th e hours and a quarter, the rate o f scoring being alm ost exactly one ru n a m inute. T he gam e was rath er tam e at the start, and no great disp lay had been m ade when the fou rth w icket fe ll a t 91. Th en L . H . G w ynn, the Irishm an who has played so w e ll th is season, and C. B . F ry became pirtn e rs, and in an h ou r and a h a lf p u t on 133 runs. F ry p la yin g in b rig h t and vigorous form , an d his 71 in clu d in g ten 4’s. G w ynn, who had gone in first w icket down, w as out six th w hen he had scored 80, th ro w ing aw ay h is w icket over a short run. H e was b a ttin g for three hours and tw enty m inutes, and, though he m ig h t have been caught w hen 62, he yet played a really fine inDings. W . W . Read was badly h it on the hand by H ayw a rd when 16, and had to retire from the gam e, a great loss to h is side, and the rem ainder of the in nin gs was notew orthy only fo r a good stand by H . Leveson-G ow er and D . L . A . Jephson, who played in place of K . S. R a n jitsin h ji, w ho was unable to p la y a t the la st m om ent. F ifty-five runs were added fo r the n in th w icket by these m en, an d both were a t la st dism issed by Lohm ann, who had been unsuccessful earlier in the innings. Though ra in fe ll in the n ight, the w icket on F rid a y , when the Players w ent in , had by no means suffered, and there was m uch disappointm ent when A b e l returned a ball to F ry , and was ou t fo r 3. Th e second w icket fe ll a t 36, and then W a lte r Q u aife and H ayw a rd in an hour p u t on 62, the latte r not being in h is best form . Q uaife, however, played a capital innings, being fifth out a t 132 fo r 55, fo r w hich he had played, for tw o hours and a quarter, correct b u t ratht r slow cricket. L ille y aud Loh m an n were then together, and en­ livened the gam e, a lte r a flu k y sta rt o f th e ir p artner­ ship, by some fine h ittin g , 30 runs com ing iD a quarter o f an hour, and 50 in tw enty-five m inutes. In a ll they were together fo r an hour, and the score had been increased by 96, when Loh m an n was o u t for 47, a w ell-played in nin gs. L ille y w ent on h ittin g, and m ade the top score fo r h is side, h is 74 occupying one hundred m inutes, and containing seven 4’s and six 3’s. The other w ickets fe ll q u ick ly to H illy a rd , and the Gen­ tlem en were 28 ahead on the first innings. In their second attem pt M u rd och and B ain bridg e played good bu t qu iet cricket, and in an h ou r and three-quarters 71 had been scored w ith o u t loss, w hen Lohm ann b rillia n tly caught the form er, and R a w lin dism issed L . H . <jwynn before he had scored. O n Saturday B ain bridg e raised h is score to 82, a very good innings, fo r w hich he batted three hours and a h alf, w ith only one chance a t 71, b u t no one else m ade a large score, and the Players were le ft w ith 254 to w in, and three hours and a quarter to get them . A b e l again fjile d , b u t M a rlo w played fine cricket. W ith H ayw a rd he p u t on 137 runs fo r the th ird w icket in tw o hours, an d was a t last out fo r exactly 100, fo r w hich he was ba tting tw o hours and a h alf, h is first century in a G entlem en v. Players’ gam e. T he draw was, o f course, a ll in favou r o f the Players, w ho ju st tied the G entlem en’s second score in th e ir incom plete innings, but, considering the m oderate bow ling opposed to them , the professionals m ig h t have been expected to p u ll off the m atch. George Loh m an n ’s was a very satisfactory reappearance, as he m ade 58 fo r once out, an d took fo u r w ickets fo r 66 runs. Score and analysis :— G entlem en . F irs t Innings. Second Innings.
