LANCASHIRE AT OLD TRAFFORD. To the Editor of C r ic k e t . D ear S ir , —I was much interested in your explanation of Lancashire’s victory over Surrey in this week’s Cricket : “ But for the inability of Cuttell and Mold to play for Lancashire in the Surrey match, Webb would almost certainly have been left out (?), and the result of the match might have been very different.” In other words, if we had had our strongest team, Surrey might have won. On the same grounds, I suppose we have to thank the absence of Mold, Briggs, Cuttell, and Webb for the rapid fall of Yorkshire wickets in the Yorkshire second innings at Bradford ; since it they had been there, Hallam and Sharp would probably not have bowled. But why did not Surrey beat Somerset, since they had the advantage of Abel’s absence? I suppose it was in a spirit of magnanimity towards the weakness of the Northern counties that Lockwood and Hay­ ward did not stand down in the Lancashire and Yorkshire matches. The argument has possibilities ; but surely, with Heseltine, Wynyard, Barton, Quinton, Spens, &c., away, Hampshire ought to be higher up in the championship list than they are. Perhaps the humour in the paragraph is not unconscious.—Yours faithfully, W in if r e d F a r a d a y . P.S.—We had better play the Surrey return with our second team, and so make sure of a victory. [We are sorry that Miss Faraday has taken exception to a remark which we did not intend to bear the interpretation she gives to it. We can only bow in all humility before her scathing remarks, of which not the least scathing may be found in the postscript.— E d .] N ATIONAL PROVINCIAL BANK v.

Played at Derby on June 25 and 26. Yorkshire won by an innings and 24 runs. Rhodes had another enjoyable day on Monday, for with the wicket exactly suited to him he was able to dismiss seven of the Derbyshire batsmen for 32 runs, Storer alone being able to play him. Thanks to steady play by Tunnicliffe and some hard hitting by Hirst, who scored 21 in seven minute*, Yorkshire had a lead of 32 when r^in stopped plav for the day. Tunnicliffe and Rhodes quite a t*red the appearance of the game on Tuesday morning. The la’ter hit hard, and thanks to these two men the total came to 195, a lead of 126, which was more than enough f r the wicket. Derbyshire began by losing three wickets for 24, and never recovered, on a queer wicket, from this unpromising beginning. D e rbysh irb . First innings. L. G.

The wicket at Trent Biidge on Monday was in the condition which ma es it very difficult for a captain who wins the toss to decide whether he or his oppo­ nents shall go in first; it was toft, but with no rain was likely to become difficult. On the other hand, there was every appearance of rain. Accordingly, Mr. Jones decided to go in first, and at lunch-time six wickets were down for 60. After lunch the tail did better, but the total was not large enough xo give much promise of success. During the innings Mold was twice no-balled for throwing by Phillips, standing at square-leg. When stumps were drawn Lancashire had scored 93 for the lo-s of two batsmen, Mr. Mac- Laren and Tyldeslty, Ward being not out 34. On Tuesday, Ward continued to play careful cricket, while Mr. Hartley and Mr. Eccles made their presence felt, and Lancashire had a lead of 67. Briggs and Cuttell were very difficult when Notts went in a second time, but they made enough runs to give Lancashire an anxious moment or two in the last innings of the match. N o tts .

Gunn bowled four no-balls. M.C.C. v. LONDON COUNTY. Played at Lord’s on June 25, 26 and 27. M.C.C. won by an innings and 175 runs. There was no cricket at Lord’s on Monday. The M.C.C. on Tuesday fourd the bowling easy enough— it was a typical London County team, which means that the bowling was weak—and Alec Hearne and Carpenter soon took its measure. Hearne was in splendid form ; Carpenter played a fine innings, and Pougher followed his example. A t lunch-time the total was 199 for only one wicktt After this, the bowlers gradually began to get the upper hand, and when the County went in, batsmen had very little chance of distinguishing themselves either in the first innings or the follow-on. But some very good cricket was shewn by Robson, Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Parkes. M.C.C. a n d G rou n d . Hearne(A.),b Robson 142 Carpenter, c Cox, b Braund Pougher, b Robson ... G.
