I am doubtful of the exact figures in the cases of those m arked (?). There were 157 such partnerships in all (four more than last year), May having 10, June 43, July 41, August 59, and September 4. Abel was concerned in more of them than any other batsman (13); while Brockwell, William Ouun, F. S. Jackson, Tunnicliffe, Shrewsbury, A. E. Stoddart, F. G. J. Ford, Tyldesley, Alec Hearne, J. B. Mason, J. T. Brown, Storer, and W . G. all shared in six or more. Only one of the stands (that famous one at Chesterfield) was over 300; but there were 14 of between 200 and 300, and 31 of 150 and under 200 . The list embraces instances of 100 - run partnerships for every wicket, from the first to the tenth. There were 30 for the first w ick et; 35, second; 34, third ; 19, fourth; 12 , fifth; 11 , sixth ; 6 , seventh; 7, eigh th ; 2, ninth; and one for the tenth. Where both batsmen were not out (which only happened in two cases) I have included their partnership with those for the wicket which would next have fallen had the game been continued. As in 1897, Abel and Brockwell were the most prominent first-wicket pair. They had during the season partnerships of 265, 143, 137, 112, and 100 before the wicket of either fell. Brown and Tunni­ cliffe sent up 554 v. Derbyshire at Chesterfield; 133 in the next match v. Sussex at B righton; and 119 in the match after that, v. M .C.C. at Scar­ borough. Alec Hearne helped Mason to send up 169 and 137 in different games; while with Burnup as partner, Alec aided the score till 116 in another match and 101 in a fourth were chronicled. So many times during the season was a good stand (often changing the whole aspect of a game) made by the last two men on a side that it seems worth while to put on record the tenth-wicket partner­ ships of 50 or more. Fifty for the last wicket when runs are badly wanted (as they were in most of these cases) is quite equal in merit to 100 for one of the earlier partnerships, seeing that at least one of the last pair is seldom a man to whom one looks for runs.
