These tw o counties m et in this m atch for the first tim e since 189.9. A . H . Haines and 0 . W . Jessop, a brother o f G. L ., m ade their debut for Gloucestershire, while J. A . Heeling, w ho played a couple of years ago, had another trial. The younger Jessop and his brother put on 79 in partnership, and the form er played a m ost creditable and careful innings. G. L . was batting fo r an hour and ten m inutes for his 93; he was extrem ely severe on Storer, scoring 17 off one over and 12 off the next. M r. Fowler played well for 89, but on the whole there was not m uch in the batting, and Derbyshire seem ed to have a fair chance o f w inning a match. They did w ell on M onday after disposing o f Gloucestershire, and when stumps were drawn their total was 149 for 3 wickets, M r. W right being not out 63 and Chatterton not out 41. These tw o batsm en played splendid cricket on Tuesday and were not separated until the total was 299, the part­ nership producing 243 runs in three hours. Mr. W right’s splendid innings lasted for three hours and ten m inutes. Afterw ards the innings seem ed about to com e to an abrupt conclusion, but Chatterton continued to play a great gam e, while M r. Lawton and Y oung m ade useful scores. Eventually Chatter­ ton was out fo r 169, after batting for four hours and a quarter; his innings was excellent in every way. Gloucestershire were 225 runs behind, and when stumps were drawn they had scored 171 fo r live wickets, M r. Gilbert Jessop having m ade 53 out of 64 in forty m inutes. Yesterday Langdon, w ho was not out 62 overnight, played fine cricket, and received great help from M r. Fow ler, and when rain just before one o’clock caused the m atch to be abandoned, their side was 69 runs on w ith five wickets still in hand. G lou cestersh ire . First innings. Second innings. J.

SUSSEX v. NOTTS. Played at Brighton on June 17,18 and 19. Drawn. In the old days the Sussex m atch generally meant a very useful increase in their batting averages to the Notts m en, but of late years Sussex has had its fair share of good fortune in these m atch s. B ut it was quite in the old order o f things w hen N otts not only kept in all day, but only lost four wickets for 453 runs. True W . Gunn waa not on in this scene, but Shrewsbury played an im portant part in it, while the chief r61e was in the hands o f M r. A . O. Jones, who was at his very best. N otts m ade their rim s at about the rate o f a hundred per hour, so that no one can have com plained that their batting was slow or uninteresting to w atch. M r. Jones played the m ost briliiant cricket all through his innings, being a little quiet when he was nearing his second hundred, but never m issing a possible chance o f scoring, and frequently m aking openings for him self. W ith John Gunn as a partner he put on 128 runs in an hour and a half, and with Shrewsbury as a partner 183 in an hour and three quarters. H is entire innings lasted for about four hours and a half, and included no few er than thirty-nine 4’s. H e hardly m ade a mistake, and altogether his innings was, perhaps, the best o f his career. W ith Shrewsbury’s batting no fault could possibly be found. A t the close o f the day he was not out 79. H e was within four o f his hundred, w hich w ould have been his first of the season, w hen he was caught. Irem onger and Dench knocked the w orn out bow ling all over the field, and N otts were able to declare w ith seven wickets down. W ithout Ranjitsinhji, w ho at the last m om ent had left the county to its fate, Sussex seem ed likely to have all their w ork to save the gam e, and w hen M r. Fry only m ade 17, things looked bad. B ut nearly everyone else in the team distinguished him self, and Tate and Vine covered themselves w ith glory by putting on 138 in tw o hours and five m inutes fo r the ninth wicket. Overnight they were not out 37 and not out 17 respectively, and yesterday Tate scored at a great pace. The total o f the innings was good enough to w in with as a rule, but here it was not enough to save the follow -on, w hich began just before lunch. The order o f the day was to keep in w ithout bothering about runs, and even M r. Fry accomm odated him self to circum stances. The other members o f the N otts team m ust have thoroughly enjoyed the situation when 8 runs went up after half an hour’s play, to be follow ed by about a dozen m aiden overs. A t length, M r. Fry began to let him self go a little, and Vine, w ith his eye on the end, could not be induced to m ake a m ove. A fter lunch he was in for an hour and a half w ithout m aking a run, w hich m ust be som ething like a record. W hen things looked quite safe M r. Fry, w ho had deserved w ell o f his county, was dismissed. Thanks to him and V ine, Sussex were able to accom plish their obiect, although four m ore wickets fell. B ut Vine held out to the last.

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY. Played at the Crystal Palace on June 17, 18 and 19. London County won by an innings and 73 runs. The L ondon County team was in m uch the same position as that o f the M .C.C., that is to say, it was weaker than usual ow ing to the num ber o f county matches being played. Nevertheless, it was infinitely stronger than that w hich played at L ord’s. A t the last m om ent it w as found that R anjitsinhji had decided not to play fo r Sussex, and in the course of the afternoon he appeared at the Palace. The Cam­ bridge eleven gave a good account o f itself, scoring 320 for nine wickets. M r. H arper, who began the season so brilliantly, but afterwards fell off, w as again in the team and played a good innings, but M r. Longm an was not in luck’s way. T he best cricket was played by M r. D ow son and M r. Robertson. W illie Q uaife, w ho was one o f the condem ned bowlers last winter, m et w ith considerable success w ith the ball. On Tuesday the last Cam bridge w icket added 27 runs. L ondon County began rem arkably w ell w ith the tw o W . G .’s and at lunch tim e the score was 149 for no wickets. B ut a change came over the gam e afterwards. W . G. was soon out, after playing in his very best form . Ranjitsinhji, Braund and M r. M urdoch all failed to do themselves justice, and five wickets were dow n fo r 236, Q uaife reaching his hun­ dred after batting fo r about tw o hours and a-half. Then the game w ent through another phase, and Lilley and M r. W . Sm ith added 241 runs fo r the fifth wicket in tw o hours and five m inutes, b y really bril­ liant cricket, and eventually the innings waa closed before lunch yesterday. Cam bridge did badly in their second innings after M r. Johnson and M r. L ongm an had brought the score to 73 for one wicket before lunch. The success o f R anjitsinhji with the ball was rem arkable. C am bbidqe U n iv e b sitv . Second innings. First innings. H . K . Longm an, c Sm ith, b Braund .............................. L . V .
