Played at Huddersfield on July 16, 17 & 18. Drawn. In this curious match there was do play on the first day, owing to rain, which began at about eleven o’clock, and showed no signs of cessation until after tbe luncheon hour. On the next day there was only a couple of hourb* cricket, but a vast amount ol pro­ gress was made in this short time. Whatevermaybe thought of Rhodes as a good wicket bowler, he is un­ questionably as skilful as ever when it comes to bowling on a pitch wlich suits him, while Biist is almost as difficult at the other end. It was on a wicket which exactly suited both Rhodes and Birst that the Worcestershire men bad to bat, and they fared no better than did the Australiana last year against Yorkshire bowling. With the total at 2, H. E . Foster was caught at mid-off ; at 4 Arnold was stumped, Rhcdes mused Wheldon from an easy chance of c and b, and Bowley was c and b by Hirst. At 11, Wheldon, after enioyiDg at other cscape, was. caught at short leg. Caldwell now hit a couple of fours off Hirst, but after thus nearly doubling the score, he was caught at the wicket at 21. The next to fall was Gaukrodger, who was caught at slip with the total at 22. There were thus six wickets down. At 23 Pearson was bowled, and Bird caught at slip, and at 24 Wilson was caught at third man. Nine wickets down. There was now a delay of three- quarters of an hour owing to rain, and then with the total unaltered, Isaacs was bowled. At a quarter to six Yorkshire went in. and by six o’clock Tunnicliffe and Brown had passed the Worcestershire total. By half-past six the total was 76 for one wicket In the course of bis fine innings of .-8 not out, Tumicliffe hit four 4*s in an over off Arnold. About the only hope that now remained to Worcestershire was that rain might come to their assistance. It was not until half­ past four that there was any play on Saturday, and then, Lord Hawke having wisely closed his innings, Worcesterehire entered on their exceedingly difficult task of trying to play Rhodes and Hirst on a com­ pletely ruined wicket. For a time it was more than likely that they would not be able to hold out lorg enough to save themselves from defeat, and tbe flrst four wickets fell for eight runs. But Arnold and Isaac then got together, and by the most careful play added five more runs in the next balf-hour, ana enabled their side to breathe agaiD, although they were by no means out of the wood. Wheldon and Pearson, after two more wickets had fallen, came together, and had the satisfaction of playing out time .W orck 8 tk b 8H ib e . First innings.

Played at Bristol on July 16, 17 and 18 Warwickshire won by nine wickets. In this match L. D. Brownlee made his reappear­ ance in the Gloucestershire team, and he, with R. T. Godsell, the Cambridge Blue, and Wrathall, did practically all the scoring in the first inniDgs. Jeesop was unfortunate. For Warwickshire Fish- wick played a good inoiogs of 54, and thanks chiefly to his vigorous hitting Warwickshire made such good use of the hour and a-half at their disposal before the time for drawing stumps that the total was 112 for three wickets. Th»s good beginning was Dot kept up on the next day, and tbe total ooly headed that of Gloucestershire bv 29 runs. When Gloucestershire went in again to knock off this balauce Jessop was ODce more uosuccessful, and the ooly batsmen who distinguished themselves were F. Thomas, Huggins and Spry, the two latter putting on 61 in five minutes less than an hour for the ninth wicket. Warwickshire had to make 165 to win, and before stumps were drawn they scored 16 without loss, Fi8hwick being not out 6 and Loveitt not out 10. Fishwick soon left on Saturday, tut so well did Loveitt and J. F. Byrne play that despite two inter­ ruptions on account of rain the ruDs were hit off without further loss by three o’clock. The wicket put on 143 ruus in seventy-five minutes. G lo u c e ste r sh ir e . First innings. L. D. Brownlee, lbw, b Moorhouse.............. . ... 40 Wrathall, b Field.................34 T.

ESSEX v. LEICESTERSHIRE. w oodcock ’ s benefit m atch . Played at Leicester on July 16, 17 and 18. Abandoned. If only the weather had been fine Woodcock would doubtless have had a really good benefit match, for he is a very popular player, and has deserved well of the county for som9 thirteen years. But, as so very often happens when a popular professional is deeply con­ cerned, the rain almost ruined the match, and only on the Friday was a full day’s cricket possible. All through the morning of th9 opening day it rained hard, but a commencement was made at three o’clock, when three overs were bowled before a storm drove the players away again. The first Essex wicket put up 19, and then for some time no one, with tbe exception of Sewell, who played a most useful and plucky innings, could make any headway against the bowling until Kortright and Gillicgham came together with the total at 67 for four wickets. The two men put on 87 runs in an hour and a-quarter by excelhnt cricket, but the bowlers were handicapped by having to use a wet ball part of the time, raid having stopped play for a quarter of an hour. When stumps were drawn Gillingham was not out E4, and the total was 168 for seven wickets. On the next morniog Gillingham, who had beenplaying a splendid game all through, increased his score to 71, his entire innings having lasted for a couple of hours. The batting of the two Crawfords was the bright spot in the Leicestershire innings. The elder brother, V. F. S., was in his very best form, and made 90 in an hour, his brilliant innings including seventeen 4’s. But despite the vigorous efforts of the two brothers the total was 24 behind that of Essex, who, when they went in again, scored 117 for the less of Sewell and Fane. Leicestershire had only themselves to thank for this, for Perrin, who was not out 38, was missed no fewer than three times. He and McGahey, in an unfinished partnership, put on 82 runs in an hour and a-half, the latter being not out 43. On Satuiday morniog there had been so much rain that at half-past two it was decided to abandon the match. E b se x . First innings. F. L.
