Although many people complain that the hours of play in this match are nowadays far too long for boys, the players seem none the worse for them, and are just as lively at the close of the day asat the beginning of it. There is not much doubt that in taking first innings the Etonians suffered to a considerable extent, but the wicket was in the condition which makes a captain hesitate to put his opponents in, and the odds are that there is hardly a captain in England who would not have done as the Etonians. At the same time the Etonians to some extent have themselves to blame for making a small score, for they were not at all enterprising, and allowed the Harrow bowlers to keep them very quiet. The innings of 72 lasted for about a couple of hours, so that the rate of scoring was very low for a school match, in which the players as a rule are not disposed to adopt waiting tactics. Nor did the Harrovians at first bestir themselves very greatly, and the first half hour’s play only produced 25 runs. But the careful batting of Maclaren laid the foundation of a good score, and was followed by some fierce hitting by Bennett and Hopley. When these two players came together the score was 113 for five wickets, and by the most resolute play they increased it by 96 in forty minutes, Hopley being res­ ponsible for no fewer than 74 of them. He seemed to have no weak points, and hit fearlessly all round the wicket, his treatment of leg-break bowling being singularly free from hesitation. His brilliant innings inclu­ ded thirteen 4’s. Meanwhile Bennett had been comparatively quiet, but as soon as his partner was dismissed he made the most of his opportunities, and although three more wickets fell very quickly for eight runs, he found a useful partner in the last man, Phelips, and eventually carried his bat for an excellent 52, which was put together in an hour and twenty-five minutes. Eton had an hour and a half at the wickets before stumps were drawn, and in that time knocked off 96 of the balance of 169 against them for the loss of one wicket. Nicholl, by very good cricket indeed, made 50 in three-quarters of an hour, and Buxton carried his bat for 34. Although Eton had made such a good start in their second innings, they had such a lee­ way to make up that there was little chance of their pulling off the match. But so finely did the two men play who were not out overnight, that from 96 they brought the score to 157, their complete partnership having produced 86 runs. Buxton, who was the first to go, had played beautiful cricket for his score of 74. Thus when two wickets were down Eton were only 12 runs behind, so that their prospects were by no means bad. But then there came a remark­ able change in their fortunes, and the remaining eight wickets fell for 71 runs, Carlisle, who went on as last change, taking four wickets for 10 runs. This left the Harrovians with a very easy task before them, and, thanks to a good innings by Eyre, they speedily hit off the runs. E ton . First innings. R . Y .

Derbyshire won by 242 runs. Things are decidedly marching with the Derby­ shire men this year, and already they have placed a couple of victories to their credit, and have thus reached the middle of the championship table; they have only lopt two matches. Their cricket against Leicestershire outclassed that of their opponents, and their victory was thoroughly well deserved. The chief feature of the game was the splendid innings played by E. M. Ashcroft, who made 162, the highest score of his career, after batting for three hours ; his hitting was clean and well timed, and his score included 26 fours. The bowling ot Warren in the second innings of Leicestershire had not a little to do with the result. D erbyshire . First innings. L. G. W right, c Geeson, b King ..................................

The Hampshire team won its first victory of the season in this match, thanks chiefly to the fine all­ round performance of Llewellyn, who not only scored 90 and 14 not out, but took seven wickets in the second innings of Somerset. S. M. J. W oods and Gill made a wonderful effort to save the game in the second innings.
