Thus, within 10 days, he ran up his average from 10-33 per innings to 23-71, and after all his bad start was among the 11 batsmen who managed to reach a four-figure total in that showery season.

H A M P SH IR E v. E SS E X . Played at Southampton on June 23, 24 and 25. Essex won b y 126 runs. The fortune of war was decidedly adverse to Hamp­ shire in this match. Although they had all the worst of tfce wicket, there were so many interruptions by rain that they seemed certain to escape defeat by making a draw, but at the last the wicket, under the influence of the sun, became so difficult, that a startling collapse by the batsmen enabled Essex to win a quarter of an hour before time. Wh*n Hamp­ shire went in a second time after Essex had declared, they had no possibility of getting the 227 runs required, but on the other hand they had only two hours and twenty minutes batting before them. For a time they seemed more than equal to the task of making the desired draw, and with only forty minutes to play, six wickets were still in hand. But when Mr. Kortright went on he found the wicket admirably suited to him, and bowling at his very best he tiok the remaining wickets fur only tea runs. It was a brilliant feat. On the Hampshire side, Mr. A. J. L. Hill very greatly distinguished himself in battiDg when all the rest of his side were powerless to do anything with the bowling. It was a fine thiDg to score 61 not out and 32 under such depressing circum­ stances. Essex on the first day, when the wicket was excellent, were hardly at their best, but Mr. Perrin and Mr. McGahey were in splendid form. In the second innings, wfcen the bowlers had a somewhat better chanc*>, Mr. Owen played a remarkably good innings of 66. E ssex . First innings. H. G.

The unfortunate Leic< sterthire men were badly served by the weather in this match, and after fielding out to a big total by Yorkshire they had to bat on a lowlers’ wicket, with results which are somewhat paiDful to contemplate. The match will be known as Mr. Jackson’s match by Leicestershire people for a very long time. The famous Yorkfhireman not only made a score of 147 in two hours and forty minutes in a style which delighted players and spectators alike, but in bowling he was irresistible. No fault could be found with the batting of the rest of the team, for Tunnicliffe, Denton, Lord Hawke, and Mr. Milligan all played most attractive cricket. The Yorkshire innings ended just before stumps were drawn. In the night very heavy rain fell, and when Leicestershire went in on Friday morning the outlook was perfectly hopeless for them. On the very difficult wicket Mr. Jackson and Rhodes could not be played, and the whole side was out in an hour and a half. A rest was given to the two bowlers at the beginning of the second innings, but when they returned to the attack they carried everything before them as before. Y o rk sh ire .
