(C.), lfe8£-6-7: W hitby, H. O. (O.), 1884, 1886-7 ; and W ood, H. (C.), 1879. De Little and Hale came from Australia, Hone from Ireland, and Rock fromTasmania. The most exhilarating display of the week was given by Oxford University at Hove on Saturday. The Sussex second innings was declared closed, and the ’ Varsity were left five hoars in which to make 381 runs to win. Thanks chiefly to a fine innings of 142 by W. H. B. Evans, the runs were actually hit off for the loss of five wickets with almost an hour to spare ! This is by far the best per­ formance of the Oxford eleven this year, and leads one to suppose that if E. R. Wilson and Dowson—both medium-paced bowlers— are mastered in the ’Varsity match, the Oxonians will make a large score, for they are the only first-class bowlers on the side of the Light Blues. Oxford University are very fortunate this year in regard to wicket­ keepers, for besides Findlay, who is far and away the best in the whole country at the present time, they have Bonham-Carter and Bomford. The meeting of Essex and Sussex at Leyton was rendered noteworthy by the huge partner­ ship of K. S. Ranjitsinhji and W. Newham for the seventh wicket of the latter side. Both played capital cricket, but Ranjitsinhji showed how serious an unaccepted chance may prove, for when 27 he gave an absurdly easy chance of stumping to Russell. The latter, however, unaccountably failed to lower the wicket, although he could easily have done so, and have taken a pinch of snuff before the Indian got back into his ground. Of the 496 runs scored from the bat for the Sussex club, 85 were obtained by Sussex-born men, and 411 by “ foreigners.” PELHAM “ A ” v. ST. GEORGES—Played at Chingford on June 21. P elham “ A .” B.

London County won by six wickets. Dr. W . G. Grace took down a very useful team to Derby, and »-lthoueh he was unsuccessful in either innings with the bat, he did pretty well with the ball, and his men came out all right. He lost the toss, which was not an excellent thing for his side, as the wicket was in good order, and Derbyshire made a good score, thanks almost entirely to A. E. Lawton and Storer, who were responsible for 210 runs out of a total of 249 from the bat. The Derbvshire captain, who seemed to enjoy playing against London County, for which he has often done so well, scored 149 in two hours and a quarter, the partnership between him and Storer accounting for 145 runs. When London County went in. Murdoch and C. J. B. W ood put up 97 in an hour and twenty minutes after W .G. had been dismissed for 7, and the total at the end of the day was 124 for two wickets. This was only about doubled on the next morning, so that the advantage gained overnight was lost, and Derbyshire began their second innings with a lead o f 14. This time neither of the two men who made the runs in the first innings was successful, but G. Curgenven played excellent cricket for 75, and Ollivierre and Humphries did well. Eight wickets were down for 232 when stumps were drawn, so that the game was in a very interesting poaition. On the next morning London County had to go in to make 260 runs, and as they lost W .G. and Murdoch in the first two overs, matters did not look at all well. But W ood was in his best form, and, after receiving useful as-istance from W . Smith, he found a partner in Board, who stayed with him till the match was over. The un­ finished partnership produced 201 runs in two hours and a quarter. D erbyshire First innings. G. Curgenven, b Grace ... 4 C. A .
