THE SCARBOROUGH FESTIVAL. THE YORKSHIRE v. M.C.C MATCH. Played at Scarborough on Aug. 28, 29 and 30. Drawn. On winning the toss the M.C.C. captain, Mr. H. D. G. Leveson-Gower, put Yorkshire in, hoping that the rain, which had fallen heavily on Sunday had greatly damaged the wicket, and that (as the weather seemed very promising) it would improve. But the rain soon upset his plans, and on the whole Yorkshire had reas mi to congratulate themselves. In the course of two hours and a quarter’s batting they put up a total of 158 for a couple of wickets, Tunnicliffe. Denton, and Mitchell having played excellent cricket. The players were very greatly handicapped by a wet ball. The wicket was treacherous on Tuesday morning, but the weather was perfect. The innings soon came to a conclusion, for after Mr. Mitchell was out nobody, except Tunnicliffe, who played a splendid game, could offer any resistance to Mead and Young. The M.C.C. found Haigh and Rhodes very different, but Mr. Taylor played very fine cricket, and Carlin backed him up well, while Mr. Leveson-Gower was not out 32 at the close of the day, when the total was 156 for seven wickets. The Yorkshiremen had a surprise yesterday, when Young put on 60 out of 75 in forty minutes, while Attewell, Mead, and Mr. Gower all made runs. The Yorkshiremen did well enough in their second innings to be able to declare, and the M.C.C. fared very badly indeed. Y o rksh ire , First innings. F. S.

Drawn. Owing to rain it was only possible to play for a little more than an hour and a half. In that time Warwickshire ran up a total of 96 for the loss of five wickets by cricket which was of a very attractive kind. In this they showed a good deal of common sense, for it certainly seemed advisable to make runs as quickly as possible. The tail played up splendidly on Tuesday, ana by determined hitting raised the total in a very satisfactory manner, Devey particularly distinguish­ ing himself. Derbyshire began fairly well, but after­ wards for a time there was a breakdown, which was prevented from becoming serious by the bold stand made by Bagshaw, who played very fine cricket. When Mr. Higson and Hulme got together the score mounted very rapidly, the professional hitting in the most determined manner. When the rain came and prevented any more play for the day, the score was 176 for six wickets, Hulme being within three of his fifty, and Higson not out 23. The innings did not last much longer when the game was resumed yester­ day, but the total was only fourteen behind that of Warwickshire. Mr. Fishwick played beautiful cricket f or the home team in the second innings, and, thanks to him, it was possible to declare the innings. Derbyshire, however, ended in an excellent position.

SURREY. Played at Blackheath on Aug. 28, 29 and 30. Drawn. Much depended on the result of this match. If Surrey were victorious, or if they made a draw they were practically certain to be the champion county, but if they were beaten all sorts of things might happen. The Surrey team very seldom does itself i 'ustice on the Kent metropolitan grounds, probably tecause it has become accustomed to remarkable wickets at the Oval, and there was no telling what Mr. Bradley might do against them. It seemed a great piece of good fortune for Surrey when they won the toss, but things did not go well with them. For when the field had taken their places the rain came down heavily, and when the game was eventually begun, after a quarter of an hour’s interval, the bowlers promptly got rid of Abel. Hayes was missed when he had made one run, but after another adjournment for rain he was soon out. Then came a hailstorm. The game was continued for twenty minutes after it was over, and then with the total at 40 for two wickets rain again fell, causing play to be abandoned for the day. Brockwell was not out 27— a particularly good innings. On Tuesday the Kent bowlers soon brought the innings to a conclusion. Brockwell hardly increased his score, and no one could do anything with Mr. Mason and Mr. Bradley, except Mr. Key, who once more came to the assist­ ance of his team when it was in difficulties. At lunch time Kent had put up 12 runs without losing a wicket. The game could not be continued until about four o’clock, when Mr. Burnup played good cricket, and made his 51 not out in an hour and forty minutes. Other men also did well, and when stumps were drawn things looked very bad for Surrey, inasmuch as Kent were only five runs behind with six wickets in hand. But yesterday Hayward and Mr. Jephson bowled finely, and met with resistance from nobody except Mr. Stewart. Nevertheless Surrey had to go in against an adverse balance of 77 runs. As they began their innings at a few minutes past one o’clock there was plenty of time in which to be beaten unless they rose to the occasion. There were several inter­ ruptions from rain. Brockwell and Hayward made a good start, and pat on 43 for the first wicket. Hay­ ward went at 50 and Hayes at 73, when Surrey were still four runs behind. For a time the issue was very doubtful, but steadily Surrey went ahead and placed defeat out of the question, until when the game was brought to a conclusion it was in a very even state.
