Played at Worcester on May 21 and 22- Lancashire won by an innings and 11 runs. It was pretty evident at the close of the first day’s play in this match that Lancashire would gain a victory if the weather held up, for against a score of 136 they had put together 210 for the loss of two wickets only. The Worcestershire innings began well enough with H. K. Foster and Bowley, who put up 52 for the first wicket, the amateur batting in brilliant style. Then against some good bowling by Brearley the rest of the team could make no headway, and as two men were run out the innings came to an abrupt end. For nearly all the rest of the day Maclaren and Hollins were batting very finely indeed, scoring at about the same rate ; Hollins seemed uncomfortable at first, but as soon as he had settled down he gave a first- class exhibition of cricket. On the next morning the two men continued to play a fine game until after 48 runs had been put on in half-an-hour Maclaren was caught in the long field. The partnership had produced 233 runs in two hours and a half. Hollins soon followed Macliren. It would not be easy to speak too highly of the batting during this partnership, for it was not entirely a batsman’s wicket. No one else did very much for Lancashire, but enough had been done already to ensure success, and at a quarter past six the match was over. Several men batted well in the Worcestershire second innings, but the only outstanding innings was that of Arnold, who played a strictly defensive game. W orcestershire . First innings.

Most of the best metro­ politan cluos figure on the fixture card, among them Beckenham, Kensington Park, Streatham, Wimbledon, Hamp­ stead, Surbiton, and the London County C.C. For the Cricket Week, commencing on July 20th, the sixth match has ap­ parently yet to be arranged; at all events, five day matches against Old Merchant Taylors, London County, Wanderers, Surrey Club and Ground, and Hampstead, respectively, figure on the card.
