Played at Lord’s on May 24, 25, and 26, under the revised experimental rules of the M.C.C. Derbyshire won by 107 runs. For this match the M.C.C. had been able to put a fairly strong team in the field, but the vigorous hittiog of S orer and Mr. Lawton in both ionings of Derbyshire somewhat demoralised the bowlers and the field, and the result was a well-earned vic'ory for the county. This victory will, it is greatly to be hoped, give Derbyshire the start which is so much needed. They have at any rate proved that they have atle-ist two men who may by vigorous hitting turn the fortune* of a game at any moment. Whether in the first inniDgs when the wicket; was difficult, or in the second when it was easy, the two men displ yed the utmost boldness and confidence, putting on in each innings 111 runs in partnership. Mr. Lawton hit with th“ greatest boldness, and making good use of his height and reach rendered it extremely difficult for the bowlers to know how to treat him ; he made mistakes at times, but showed the greatest promise. Storer, whose batting stood out much more promi­ nently than that of anybody else in the match, was seen quite at his lest. All round the wicket he was admirable. He shewed the possibilities offered by the net in a new light, and has apparently studied the best way of taking advantage of it. In making his fine second innings of 175 not out, he was only at the wickets for three hours and twenty minutes, and his total included two 7’s. five 6’s, five 5’s, and seven 4’s. As he did an excellent piece of bowling in the second innings of the M.C.C., and disposed of four men at the wicket during the match, he had reason t > be entirely satisfied with his three days’ cricket There was plenty of good batting on the M.C.C. side, Mr. Burcup, Mr. Hayman, and A ’ec Heame playing notable cricket.

A splendid innings of 128 by Brown, and some remarkable bowling by Rhodes, had much to do with Yorkshire’s easy victory in this match. Leicester­ shire did well enousli in their first innings. Mr. Wood and H. Whitehead playing excellent cricket, and when each side had completed an inniDgs they were not very far behind—40 runs. On Saturday there did not seem the least prospect that the match would be brought to a conclusion, but Rhodes found a spot to help him and tumbled I^eicestershire out very quickly, Pougher alone making much resistmce to him. Brown and Tunnicliffe hit up the 61 runs required to win in a little over half an hour. L eice ste r sh ir e . First innings. n: J. B.

Played at Oxford on May 24, 25 and 26. Oxford won by 11 runs. On a difficult wicket Oxford had an hour and twent. minutes’ catting last Thursday beforeluncheou and in that time lost eight wickets for 67 runs, seven of them falling to Tate. This was a pretty bad look out, and on Friday morning the prospect was not much improved, as the last two wickets only added ten runs. After losing Keif with the total at II, Sussex did exceedingly well while Kanjitsinhji and Mr. Collins were together, although the former was very slow in running on account of a strain. After a time, at the request of the Oxford captain he had a man to run for him. Things were going very well for his side, wh»n with 63 on the board, he had to retire, a piece of bad luck which had the most disastrous results, for the Sussex team began to collapse a/ainst the bowling of Mr. Bosanquet Kanjitsinhji returned to try to mend matters but was caught in the long field first ball. When the innings closjd Sussex had a lead of 29 runs. Oxford made a fair start in their s cond innings, but at close of play on Friday they had lost 9 wickets for 124, and were thus only 95runs ahead. There wasno addition to the total on Saturday morning, so that Sussex had to go in to make 96. Once more Mr. Bosanquet was too difficult for them, and although they made a very good fight, they could not quite pull off the match Mr. Fry, Mr. Brann and Butt were absentees.
