A noticeable feature of this table (which includes all first-class matches played by each side) is the number of men tried by some of the less successful counties, particularly Hampshire, Somerset and Warwickshire. Briggs, Board, C. L. Townsend, D. A. Steele, Quaife (W. G A A. O. Jones, Knight, Hearne (J. T.), Carpenter, Mead, and P. Perrin, have taken part in every first-class match their respective counties have played during the last three seasons ; while C. J. Burnup has played in all Cambridge’s important fixtures during the same period. Lancashire burrey Sussex ............ G loucestershire K en t...................... H am pshire ...

Played at Scarborough on September 1 , 2 and 3. Drawn. A strong team, which, however, did not include the famous old Cambridge Blue him­ self, had been got together by Mr. Thornton, and as the weather was excellent, for a change, some very attractive cricket was seen. Yorkshire were at the wickets during nearly the whole of the first day. It was not very easy to make runs, for the rain had not improved the pitch, which was, how­ ever, very much better than could have been expected. Nearly all the Yorkshiremen made runs, but there were no big innings. Tunnicliffe and Mr. Jackson were in great form, and Wainwright and Lord Hawke gave a good account of themselves. The scratch team did not make a very good beginning, for it lost three wickets for 65 before stumps were drawn. Gunn was, how­ ever, not out, and on Friday he played in his very best style, putting up 137 in four hours and a quarter, out of 282 made while he was at the wickets. Storer also played very fine cricket, and Mr. Chinnery, who went in very late, carried his bat for 49. For once, Captain Wynyard did not come off. York­ shire had a little batting before the end of the day, and lost three wickets in making 66 , so that they were still 22 runs behind. Denton had played very well indeed for 45. On Saturday, Brown, Mr. Jackson, Wain­ wright, Hirst and Hunter all did so well that the scratch team had to make 202 to win in about an hour and a half. Hunter and Hirst put on 66 for the last wicket, There was not the slightest chance that Mr. Thornton’s team would make the runs, but every batsman who went in scored with rapidity. Y obkphirk .

Surrey won by an innings and 357 runs. For the last county match of the season Warwickshire got together an exceedingly weak team, Mr. Bainbridge, Diver, Mr. Glover and several other men being absent. The first match arranged by the two counties this season was abandoned, owing to rain, without a ball being bowled. As far as the county championship table is concerned, it did not matter to Surrey whether this, the last match of the season, was won by them or drawn, for the most brilliant victory would not have put them into a higher place in the table. There was, therefore, no object in hastening the end of their innings on Thurs­ day, and if they could have made a record score they would certainly have done so. As it was, the innings produced a sufficiently large total. As usual, at the Oval this season, the Surrey captain won the toss, and as usual, the batsmen soon collared the bowl­ ing—what there was of it. Abel and Brockwell put on fifty after fifty, until, after nearly four hours’ play, Abel was caught at cover-point for an admirable and faultless innings of 135, which included a 6 (all run out), and thirteen 4’s. The partnership had produced 265 runs. Brockwell followed him not long afterwards. He had made 152 runs in a little less than four hours by almost perfect cricket. His innings included seven­ teen 4’s. At the end of the day, the total was 361 for the loss of two wickets. On Friday, the Warwickshire team was still further weakened by the absence of Lilley, who had injured the little finger of his right hand very badly on the previous afternoon. The Surrey batsman did almost as they liked with the bowling. Hayward was in excellent form, and seemed almost certain of his hundred, when he was bowled off his pads, and Wood hit with extreme vigour. The last wicket put on 68 runs. It was not to be expected that the Warwickshire team, weak as it was in batting, wrould be able to do much after such a long outing, and before the close of the day their first innings was nearly completed. W . Quaife and Loveitt shewed good cricket, and W . G. Quaife played a careful but beautiful innings of 64, not out, his management of Richardson’s bowling being particularly fine. In the follow-on, the batsmen broke down hopelessly, but Lilley, despite his damaged finger, which made batting anything but a pleasure, played a splendid game. S ubbey . A bel, c W .' G.
