A t the end o f the play on Thursday, W orcester­ shire com pleted a first innings o f 367 and had got rid o f Mr. W right, Bagshaw and M r. Barrs for 46 runs. F or this happy state o f affairs they were chiefly indebted to the fine cricket of A rnold and Messrs. H . K . and R . B. Foster. The latter, w ho bad m ade a hundred earlier in the week, nearlyagain accom plished the feat. H is batting was quite w orthy o f his reputa­ tion; he was at the w ickets for his 98 for an hour and three-quarters and hardly m ade a weak stroke. During his partnership with his brother som e m agni­ ficent cricket was seen. On Saturday, Derbyshire were fighting hard against inevitable defeat. They failed in the first innings, but played an excellent uphill gam e in the follow -on, M r. W right, Chatter­ ton and M r. Law ton all doing w ell. Needham, the famous footballer, played a sound gam e in the first innings. WORCESTERSHIRE.

WARWICKSHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. l il l e y ’ m b e n e f it m a t c h . Played at Edgbaston on June 13, 14 and 15. Drawn. A fter their escape from defeat b y Surrey Yorkshire won the toss in this m atch, and by scoring 151 runs tor the loss o f a w icket in the course of about an hour’s play on Thursday, seem ed to have m ade a beginning w hich was likely to be particularly useful. On Friday they did so w ell that before stumps were drawn they were able to declare w hen they had lost five wickets. B oth M r. M itchell and Brown were batting for about three hours and three-quarters for their runs, but whereas the latter had a good deal o f luck, the form er played an entirely adm irable in nings; his batting all round the w icket was brilliant, and among his hits were tw enty-tw o 4’a. W arw ickshire had now nothing to play fo r but a draw, and as there was a reasonable chance that after so much rain they "Would have to bat on a tricky wicket, their prospects were not encouraging, especially as before the day’s play ended they had lost a w icket w ithout scoring a run, D evey not attem pting to play a ball from H irst, Which, thereupon, bow led h im . On Saturday, W ar­ wickshire began so badly that their hopes of m aking a draw seem ed very email indeed, for four wickets Were down fo r 39. Then as soon as W . G. Q uaife could get som eone to stay w ith him he laid him self out for a draw in his own characteristic m an n er ■He was not to be hurried and n ot to be tem pted; runs were o f no earthly use to his side, whereas as long as he kept up his w icket and could get som ebody else to help him his side were m oving tow ards the object w hich they naturally had in view . A s the hours went on it began to t e evident that Yorkshire w ould not be able to count a w in in this m atch, and at about half-past four the follow -on was averted. It was now quite out of tbe question that any other result than a draw could be arrived at. and accord­ ingly Santall let him self go ; he and Q uaife put on 122 runs in an hour and fifty m inutes. W hen stumps were draw n W . G. Quaife w as still holding on to his end with 118 to his credit. This had taken him five hours and thirty-five m inutes to com pile, and not even the m ost determ ined opponent o f slow play could object to his perform ance, which not only saved his side but placed it in a fairly satisfactory position.

NOTTS. Played at Catford on June 13, 14 and 15. Drawn. A fter being very much behind on the first inniD gs, and having to follow on, N otts did so well that they were able to declare with ju st the possibility of w inning the match. On the first day K ent did rem arkably well, scoring 387 runs for the loss of seven wickets. This was chiefly due to the batting of Mr. P. C. Baker, M r. M ason and M r. D illon. The tw o form er cam e together w hen three w ickets had fallen fo r 11 runs, and were not parted until ihe score had been raised to 138 in a couple o f hours. I f a catch behind the wicket had com e off when Mr. M ason had m ade one run only, there m ’ght have been a breakdown o f a very decided kind. A t the end of the day, M r. Dillon and Huish took advantage of the looseness of the bow liog and m ade runs at a great pac-, cbittly by good hard drives, not by any meanB always on the ground. W hen stumps were drawn, M r. D illon was not out 79, and .huish not out 42. Things went w ell w ith K ent on Friday, although the total was only increased by a few runs. M r. D illon’s 92 was put together in tw o hours and a half, and included a 5 (4 from an overthrow ), and twelve 4’ 8. The chief feature in the N otts’ first innings was the partnership o f Irem onger and Harrison, w hich produced 77 in an hour and a quarter for the f-ixth w icket after the first five men had fallen for 50. In the follow on, 191 runs behind, M r. Jones played splendid cricket, hitting all round the g rou n d ; his 71 was m ade in an hour and three- quarters. Thanks to his innings, aDd good cricket by J. Gunn (not out 48) and W . Gunn, only 41 runs were required on Saturday to save the innings defeat, with three w ickets down, so that the posit on was not quite hopeless. B ut on Saturday the sixth wicket fell at 194, w hen N otts were only three runs ahead, and the seventh at 213, H arrison being very finely caught and bowleu by A lec Hearne, who threw him ­ self on the ground at fu ll length to reach the ball. The gam e seem ed very nearly over when Carlin joined Shrewsbury, w ho had been playing a very patient gam e, waiting for som ething to turn up. Carlin proved to be the m an fo r whom he was look­ ing, and a stand was m ade w hich com pletely altered the state o f the game. It was not until the score had been raised by 143 runs that the partnership was at last broken. Shrewsbury was then out for 63, an innings which was quite invaluable to his side, none the less so because it had taken him two hours and fifty m inutes to com pile. Needless to say, his style o f batting delighted the spectators, notwithstanding that while he was in the gam e was gradually slipping out of the hands o f K ent. In the same over Carlin was out— Burnup, in the deep field, disposed o f both batsm en by brilliant catches— after playing a veiy to ld and w ell-judged game. The innings was not yet over, and toe ninth w icket put on 65 runs, when the N otts captain declared, in the hope o f getting K ent out in the tw o hours rem aining for play. M r. Baker and M r. S. H . D ay played very fine cricket, and put on 89 in an hour and tw enty m inutes for the third w icket, placing defeat out o f the question. K en t . First innings. Second innirgs. C. J.
