The heavy ram had greatly affected the w icket at Cheltenham , and Gloucestershire, w ho batted first, ctu ld do veiy little w ith Rhodes and H irst. W rathall was batting fo r an hour, but after scoring 29 in the first half-hour, did not m ake a single run in the rem aining lim e. Jessop played a very lively innings fo r forty m inutes, and scored 42 out o f 46 runs made w hile he ■was in. Against the Gloucestershire total o f 1C4 Yorkshire put up 60 for the first wicket, and though tw o m ore m en were out before stumps were draw n the total was 84. On the next day, Jackson, T aylor, Denton, H irst and "Whitehead all m ade very useful score?, and the total of the innings exceeded that o f Gloucestershire by 157. W hen Gloucester­ shire went in again they batted on a w icket which was adm irably suited to Bhodes and H aigh, with the result that they received a crushing defeat. C. L . Townsend was at the wickets for nearly an hour for 9, and during part of his innings he was three- quarters o f an hour without, m aking a run. G loucestershire . First innings. R . W .

Played at Brighton on August 14, 15 and 16. Drawn. Although C. B . Fry reappeared in t ie Sussex team, B anjitsinnji was still absent—he v as representing the M .C.C. at L ord’s— and as F ry was bow led by the first ball in the m atch, the county was practically taking the field once m ore w ithout the services c f its tw o greatest batsm en. F or all that Sussex gave a very good account of itself. On the first day showers interrupted play so considerably that there was only three hours and three quarters’ cricket, during which Sussex m ade 262 for the loss of three wickets. The m ost noticeable feature o f the day’s cricket was the long partnership between Y ine and K illick, which produced 165 runs in tw o hours and a h alf. They both played a fine game. Afterw ards B elf and P . H . Latham added 90 runs w ithout being separated. On the next m orning the bowlers were in such high feather for a tim e that five m ore wickets fell fo r 17 runs. Newham and C ox then cam e to the assistance o f their side, and by very good play indeed increased the total by 68. New ham carried his bat for a very sound innings o f 43. From the first, Leicestert-hire seem ed to m ake up their m inds for a draw , and they kept in ;fo r the rest o f the day— three hours and a half— during which they only scored 131 runs for the First innings.

On Saturday, when the innings cam e to an end, Surrey had a lead of 402 rune, and Lancashire had four hours and a half b efore them . A s in the first innings they m ade a bad comm encem ent, and A . C. M aclaren, Tyldesley and Potter had all been disposed of when the total was 34. The side never reco\trel from this bad start, and although W ard played excellent cricckat, the innings W8s concluded at ten m inutes to fou r. It m ay be remembered that last year Lancashire declined to declare in the Oval m atch and kept Surrey fielding for hours when runs were o f no possible use. ElBREY. First innings.

LANCASHIRE. Played at the Oval on August 14, 15 and 16. Surrey won by 291 runs. It w as a wretched day at the Oval on Thursday last, for although there was no rain the light was bad and the weather cheerless. Surrey were batting all day except fo r a short interval when play was stopped on account c f the light, and scored 280 for eight w ickets. A t one tim e it looked as if the innings w culd te o \ e r sem e tim e before stumps were drawn, for seven w ickets w ere dow n for 206. N either Abel nor H ayward was seen at his best, although the for­ m er stayed in for an hour and a half. The best cricket o f the day was seen when H olland and Baker were together. They never got a com plete comm and over the bow ling, but in the course o f a partnership lasting fo r an hour aud ten m inutes they put on 96 runs. H olland nearly succeeded in reaching his hun­ dred ; he was at the w ickets for three hours and made som e fine drives, his innings including fourteen 4’s. Towards the end o f the day Lockw ocd and Clode put on 67 runs for the eighth wicket. On Friday m orning L ockw ood, who was not out 35 ove rnight, played an excellent game and was last out to a brilliant left- handed catch at slip. W ith the exception o f A . C. M aclaren and P A nson, the Lancashire m en were unable to play Lockw ood and Bichardson, and when the innings came to an end Surrey had a lead o f 215 runs. The first five w ickets fell for 15 runs and seven were dow n for 33, w hen A . C. M aclaren and I ’Anson m ade a stand. A good deal o f surprise was expressed when it was found that Lancashire were not to follow on, but as the follow -on is optional the Surrey captain was o f course perfectly justified in exercising his dis­ cretion. H is only tw o good bowlers had been on for a couple o f hours, and he m ay have reasoned that L an ­ cashire m ight m ake a big score in their second innings if they follow ed o n ; especially as his best bowler was a little lame. Be this as it m ay, he sent his ow n team in again, w ith the result that when stumps were drawn his side had a lead of 383 with four w ickets in hand. F or a tim e Surrey fared very badly, and h alf the team were out for 63, but Baker and Barnes ... I ’Anson .. H allow s ... W ard ... G . Maclaren Sharp S ubrey . First innings. O. M . R .

Played at Derby on August 14, 16 and 16. Derbyshire won by an innings and 250 runs. T he Derbyshire team still continues to im prove, and the county has had an excellent record this season. For years Derbyshire m en have haidly know n what good luck is at cricket, b u t times have changed, and a fair share o f it com es in their way. T heir good fortune in winning the toss against W arwickshire had not a little to do with their splendid victory. On the first day D erbyshire ran up the fine total of 466 for seven wickets, and were thus practically safe against defeat. A great stand was m ade by L. G. W riglit and C. A . O lliviene for the first wicket, and when the form er was out the total was 134. TTiis paved the way for other m en to m ake runs, and although Btorer failed com pletely, E . M . A shcroft, Needham , G. Curgenven, A . E . Lawton and W arren all distinguished themselves. But the best and highest innings o f the day was played by O llivierre, w ho in the course of three hours of the m ost adm irable batting, put together 167 runs, an innings which included twenty-seven 4’s. H is drives were pow erful, but he also played finely on the leg- side. On the next m orning Law ton, w ho was not out 66 overnight, hit splendidly, and in partnership
