3 7 4 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. A u g . 2 9 , 1 9 0 1 , D E R B Y S H I R E v . E S S E X . P layed at Chesterfield on A u gu st 22, 23 & 24. E ssex w on b y nine w ickets. Although the wicket in this match gave the bowlers a little assistance on the first day, the Derbyshire fielding was not as good as it might have been, and Essex were able to make an excellent score before stumps were drawn. There was a long partnership between Mr. McGahey and Carpenter for the third wicket, producing 143 in an hour and forty minutes. Carpenter’s fine innings of 144 was put together in three hours and ten minutes; it included twenty-one 4’s. Soon after Carpenter’s dismissal six wickets were down for 256, but Mr. Douglas and Russell then began a long partnership, which was unfinished when stumps were drawn. They had then increased the score by 164 in an hour and three-quarters, the professional hitting very finely; he was not out 96. He brought his score to a hundred off the first ball bowled on the next morning, and was then out. Mr. Douglas, who carried his bat, played a consistently steady innings, which showed great promise ; he was at the wickets for three hours. The last four wickets only added 16 to the score. Derbyshire began their uphill task very well indeed, Mr. Wright and Locker putting on (9 for the first wicket, and Storer and Chatterton 77 runs in fifty minutes. After this Derbyshire did not do so well, but when the day’s play ended they had a fair chance of making a draw. Storer was out sixth for a finely hit 76. Derbyshire had to follow on, and Mr. Lawton and Mr. Sugg put up 45 without being separated, so that their county was now 139 runs behind with all their wickets in hand. But on Saturday very little was done, and Essex won very easily. Storer again played an excellent innings. E sse x . H. G. Owen, b Best­ wick ......................... 5 Carpenter, b Hulme .144 P.

Although Hampshire had placed themselves in an excellent position at the enu of the first day’s play, there was nothing to indicate that they were about to gain an overwhelming victory. .Against a total of 345 by Somerset they had made 72 for the loss of Mr. Robson. On the whole, the Somerset batting was a little disappointing, tut Braund and Robson made amends for any shortcomings on the part of the rest of the team, the latter making his first hundred of the season. For Hampshire, Captain Greig was not out 43. By the time that stumps were drawn on the next evening, the visitors had gained an enormous advantage, for with three wickets down in their second innings—the victims being Mr. Palairet, Braund and Lewis—Somerset required 218 runs to avoid an inning’s defeat. This state of affairs had been brought about by some splendid batting by Captain Greig, Mr. Sprot, Webb, Barton and Llewellyn. Captain Greig made his fine 113 in ninety-five minutes, and by his resolute hitting made the task much easier to those who followed him. Mr. Sprot was in an hour and fifty minutes for his 147, a most attractive innings, while Llewellyn, per­ haps, played the best innings of the day; his 153 runs were put together in an hour and forty minutes by the most determined hitting. The Somerset bowling was several times collared during the day. On Saturday, Somerset failed to make any headway against the bowling of Llewellyn, whose perform­ ances in this match were something quite out of the common. S om ersetsh ire . First innings. L.C.H.

P layed at M anchester on A u gu st 22,23 aud 24. Lancashire w on b y seven w ickets. Although most of the Notts men made useful scores, none of them played the big innings which was almost necessary if the match was to be won. The best cricket on the first day was shown by Shrewsbury, who, although he proceeded very slowly, played the bowling with ease in his own inimitable and graceful style. Mr. Jones seems for the moment to have lost his power of getting runs. Lancashire had a few minutes’ batting in a bad light before stumps were drawn, and, with Mr. Garnett out, scored 22 runs. On the next morning, Ward was dismissed with the total at 22, but Hibbert and Tyldesley put on 95 for the third wicket, and then ensued a brilliant partnership between Tyldesley and Mr. MacLaren, which had a great deal to do with placing Lancashire in a very cummanding position at the end of the day. The partnership produced 193 runs in an hour and three-quarters, both men play­ ing the most attractive cricket imaginable; after lunch they put on 118 runs in fifty-five minutes. Tyldesley was batting for three hours and fifty mtnutes for his splendid innings of 161. Later, Cuttell and Sharp played well, and in the end Lancashire had a lead of 142 runs. When slumps were drawn, Notts had scored 86 for the loss of Mr. Jones and Iremonger, so that althoogh they still had a chance of winning, it was a smallone. Good cricket on Saturday by several men enabled Notts to put Lancashire in again, but only to make 121, a task which was very easily accomplished. N o tts . First innings. A.O.

W orcestershire w on h y an innings and 90 runs. There was some remarkable batting by Worcester­ shire men on the first day of this match. A total of 472runs wasmade for the loss of five wickets. Bowley played a great innings of 134 in three hours and three- quarters ; Mr. R. E. Foster scored 96, putting on 172, with Bowley, in an hour and forty minutes by most resolute hitting, while at the end of the day Pearson and Mr. Lowe hit the bowling all over the field, putting on 168 runs in an unfinished partnership which lasted for an hour and a half, the former being not out 83 and the latter not out 107. Pearson did not increase his score on Friday morning, but Mr. Lowe continued to hit until he had made 154, his innings having lasted for two hours and a half. When stumps were drawn Leicestershire had com­ pleted an innings of 318 and had scored five without loss in their second innings, so that they were 238 runs behind with all their wickets in band. The chief feature of the day’s cricket was the fine batting of Mr. Wood, who was only at the wickets for twu
