J une 14, 1900. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 197 SURREY v. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at Cambridge on June 7, 8 and 9. Drawn. This match was quite spoiled by the weather. On the first day there was less than three hours’ cricket, during which Cambridge, on a wet pitch, lost a couple of men for 132 runp, Mr. 8ullivan and Mr. Wilson playing admirable, though somewhat slow, cricket. Again on Friday there was only three hours and a quarter’s play, which was carried out under dispititing conditions. Mr. Sullivan was disposed of after playing very steady cricket for three hours, and another big stand was made by Mr. Dowson and Mr. Wilson, the former playing most attractive cricket on a pitch which had been at ofce time almost under water. 'Jhe howlers could get no comfortable foothold, and altogether it wan an uns ttisf-tf tory after« orn’s cricket. The position at the end of the day was that Cambridge had scored 296, while Surrey ) ad lost one wicket fur 45. On Saturday the only chance o f finishing the match was that Surrey on a difficult wicket should collapse badly, but Abel and Mr. Crawford soon put this out of the question, the latter playing the best innings of the match. The tail did very little, but when i am- bridg« went in again with a lead of 93 it was obvious that the match tould not be brought to a conclusion, and Mr. Jephson gave sonn of his change bow ers a chance. Mr. Sullivan again played excellent and steady cricket, and Mr. Daniell, who had been put in the team at the last mom nt. was in great form, hi* fine innings of 101 not out being put together in two hours and a quarter. Mr. Dowson’s performance s iu this match, bath with bat and ball, wrre ex ellent in ev**iy way. C am bridge L nivkrpity >•iret innings. Second innings.

On Friday Mr. Kortright did not long survive; his tine innings of 54 was made iu a little over an hour. Mr. Lucas kept steadily on. and received ui>eful assistance from Reeves, Buckenham and Rus<ell. Lancashire had a difficult task before them, for tbe wicket after the rain was not quite at its best. Mr MacLa en wan outat30andTyldesleyat33, when Briggs came in to partner Ward, w oo was going strong as usual, and the st^nd of the day was made ; it pro­ duced 97 runs in seventy-seven minutes. Ward played au invaluable innings, and during the last hour Holland and Mr. Hartley made things lively. Never helens, wben p ay ended, Lancashire were 113 runs behind with on y three wickets iu hand There wan no play on Saturday owing to rain. E sse x . H. G.

The Essex men were seen to great advantage on the first day of this match, for they scored 267 runs for the loss of seven wickets in four hours and a-half, the game being interrupted by several showers. 'Ihe bowlers were of course placed at a great disadvantage, and they never made any headway. <arpenter again played a particularly good innings; he was at the wickets for three hours and a-half for his 93. and put on 94 in partnership with Mr. Owen (who played ex­ tremely well) for the first wicket.

LEICESTERSHIRE. p o u o h e r ’ s b e n e f it m a t c h . Played at Leicester on June 7, 8 and 9. Yorkshire won by ten wickets. As in the case of so very man> benefit matches, the weatl er was 80 lad on the first day of this match that the proceeds were not all that could Le desired. It was ouJy p s^ib’e to play for two hours and forty minutes, during which Leicestershire scored 1 2 on a wet pitch for the loss of eight wickets, Knight playing a fine defensive ii-nings for 69 not out. The innings ended for the addition of t-n runs on Friday when again rain caused play to be greatly limited—it was only possible to p'av for two hours and ten minutes, the game being r« sumed at four o’cloc k. Goo ’ cricket and bard biititg by hirst and Wainwright en a'lei Yorksh're to leave off in a fairly good position when stumps were drawn, the total being 136 for four wickets. Although these two Ialsmen w* re loth dis­ missed soon aft»r play begaa on Satuiday morning, Lord Hawke and the tail did so well th*t Yorkshire had a lead of 79 runs. Eleven of these were knocked off by Leicestershire before lunch, but afterwards there was such a collapse before Haigh, Wainwright and Rhodes, that Yorkshire had an unexpectedly easy task.

Played at the Crystal Palace on June 7, 8 &9. London County won by five wickets. The feature of this match was the admirable batting of Dr. Grace ; his first innings o f 8-» included four­ then 4’s, and was a very fine display of all-round and attractive cricket, his runs 1eing made in an hour and thirty-five minutes. In his second innings he made 44 in rather less than an hour. In fact, as far as batting is concern»d, he seems to be in as good form as ever. Board and Braui d also played very well indeed for the County, and Trott bowled with great success in the second innings. For Derbyshire the tim e amateurs o f the team, Mr. L. G. W right, Mr. Evershed and Mr. Lawton, all distinguished themselves. D erbysh ire . First innings. L. G. W right, c Walker, b Braund ...........................57 S. H.
