When stumps were drawn in this match on Mon­ day, Lancashire weie in a satisfactory position, but soon after the commencement of their innings they had lost three wickets for 23, against a total of 192 by their opponents. But at this stage of the game Tyldesley and A. H. Bornby became partners, and in the course of the next hour and a half increased the total by 81 runs without being separated, so that the score was now 106 for three wickets. The most noticeable point about the Warwickshire innings had been the floe bowling of Brearley, and the sensational way in which he disposed of the last four wickets ia three overs for 7 rues. There was plenty of good batting shown, and Charlesworth played particularly attracttive cricket, whi’e both Quaife and Lilley played a sound game. On Tuesday morning Hornby was content to keep cp his wicket while Tyldesley made runs, and soon the Warwickshire bowlers were at tbeir wits’ end to know what to do. It was not until the partnership had produced 198 runs in three hours that Tyldesley was splendidly caught at cover point for a masterful innings of 116. Hornby did not quite reach his hundred; he was at the wickets for three hours, and the value of his innings can easily be judged from the way in which the remaining bats­ men failed to make any resistance to the bowling. Despite the efforts of Tyldesley and Hornby, Lanca­ shire had a much smaller lead than had seemed probable, but it was some time before Warwickshire could draw level. Byrne played well, and Quaife was again in great form, while Fishwick was at his best, so that when stumps were drawn Warwickshire were 63 runs on, but with only four wickets in hand. Yesterday these added but a few runs to the score, and Lancashire had an easy task. W a r w ic k sh ir e . First innings. _ Second innings. Devey, b Littlewood ... . Kinneir, b Barnes 14 J. JF.

It is but seldom that a side experiences such a remarkable change of fortune in the coarse of an innings as that which fell to the lot of Sussex on Monday. The flrst four men all made good scores— three of them over fifty, and the outlook was exceedingly prosperous. It is true that neither Fry nor Banjitsinhji made a hundred, which must be considered almost a misfortune by Sussex men when the wicket is hard and in good condition, but both of them made over fifty, and both played good cricket, although Fry was much slower than he used to be. When only three wickets were down the total reached 253, and then a sudden and alarming change was brought about by the very fast bowling of Buckenham, who had been played with ease on two previous occasions during the innings. But now he was irresistible, and batsman after batsman fell before him, until in the course of five overs he took five wickets for 11 runs. The first five wickets produced 265, the last five produced 9 from the bat. The total was 225 for three when Buckenham went on for the third time, and ia a very few ovtrs he had produced what seemed very like a panic. Essex then were in a very much better position thao had at one time seemed probable, and although before the end of the day they lost Fane and Sewell for 77, their prospects of making a match of it were good. Perrin who on Monday evening was at the wickets for nearly an hour for 10 runs, was in great form on the next morning, and with McGahey (not out 7 overnight), as a partner, brought the score to 152, when the latter was out for an excellent 45. During this partaersbip C. B. Fry was given a trial with the ball for the flrst time thi* season, and, with an obviously fair action which would have satisfied even the most suspicious of umpires, he bowled medium pace, but did not seem to create much alarm in the minds of the bats­ men. At lunch time the total was 219for five wickets, Perrin having been dismissed after playing a fine innings which lasted for three hours and just failing to reach his hundred. The t-il played up well, notably Lucas, who was as invulnerable as ever. Young and Mead, the two bowlers, put on 65 for the last wicket. Sussex were 97 behind, and before stumps were drawn their chances of winning were practically gone, for they had lost five wickets for 69. vine and Killick were disposed of almost at once by Buckenham, while Mead dismissed Fry and Ranjit­ sinbji with successive balls. Yesterday Newham and Butt made a very plucky effort to save the situation, but it was too late. Essex seemed to have a very eaty task before them, but it was perhaps just as well for them that they had not to make a hundred runs instead of fifty. S u sse x . First innings. C. B.

SURREY v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Sheffield on June 29 and 30 and July 1. Surrey won by 145 runs. Both these counties are fighting very hard ust no v to retrieve their position, and it would have been impossible to mark out the winner with any degree *o confidence. The return of Hirst has greatly strength- en^d the Yorkshire eleven, but Rhodes seems to have lost a good deal of his skill when he is not at work on a very tricky wicket, On the flrst day’s play Surrey had reason to congratulate themselves, for on a wicket which helped the bowlers a little, they scored 280 and dismissed four of the best Yorkshire batsmen for 122. The Surrey batting was very good on the whole, although that of Holland and Lees alone stood out very prominently. The former played a most excellent innings and was at the wickets for two hours and a half, being fourth out; he hit twelve 4’h. Hayward, who never seemed quite comfortable, helped him to put on 70 for the first wicket in an hour. This was the most productive partnership of the innings, but the Yorkshire bowlers never had the slightest chance of making a clean sweep, for nearly every man showed good form. Abel and Holland put together 41 runs at about the rate of a run a minute, and Le?s played a very good game indeed. York­ shire lost Brown when the total was only two, but Denton and Tunnicliffe then put on 78 runs in 50 minutes, and things looked well for the home team. But before stumps were drawn four wickets were down, Richardson being in great form. On Tuesday morning the Yorkshiremen did badly, for although Tunnicliffe, who was not out 62 overnight, contiuued to play fine cricket, while Smith kept up Lis wicket for about half an hour for a hit for 4, Lockwood and Richardson soon became masters of the situation. Soon seven wickets were down for 169, and at last Tunnicliffe, when within three runs of his hundred, was stumped after a faultless innings which had lasted for two hours and a half. He fell a victim to Lockwood, who then disposed of Wainwright and Ringrose with the next two balls, thus doing the hat trick. As a result of the rapid downfall of the wickets, Yorkshire were 98 runs behind, which did not look at all promising for them since the wicket was still helping the bowlers. In their second innings Surrey soon began to forge ahead, and by excellent cricket Hayward and Holland put on 78 runs before lunch without being separated, so that their county with all the wickets in hand was now leading by 156 runs. But a great disappointment was in store for Surrey men. When, after lunch, the total had been increased by two runs, Holland and Hayward were both dismissed, and from this time the Yorkshire bowlers had the best of matters, Hingrose especially meeting with success. Abel and Lees made useful scores and Walker followed the example of the Surrey captains who bad preceded him by making a fine effort at the critical moment. The Yorkshiremen had to go in to make 268—a most difficult task under the circumstances. From the very flrst disasters occurred and soon wickets began to fall thick and fast. At the end of the day the total was only 89 for seven wickets, so that Yorkshire still required 178 to win. Yesterday nothing unexpected happened, and Surrey gained an easy victory. Richardson’s fine bowling was quite a noticeable feature of the match. S u rrey . Young delivered three no-balls. First innings.
