F.), reversed his decision, and the Leicestershire captain continued his innings. Warwickshire v. Yorkshire, at Edgbaston. In the second innings of Warwickshire Kinneir (IS. P.) and Quaife (W. G.) opened the innings and the score at the end of the first half-hour was one bye only and then Quaife was disposed of without scoring. It is only fair to add that Warwickshire were in a most desperate position and playing their hardest to avert defeat. Although the match, owing to rain, did not comm' nee until the third day, a definite result was almost arrived at, the final score being :—Warwickshire 84 and 43 for 7 wickets, Yorkshire 158 (for two wickets, innings closed).
