In an unfortunate moment Mr. Jones, wh°n he won the toss, derided to send Yorkshire in to bat. The result was that they scored 339 runs on a wicket which seemed likely to be much more difficult on the next morning. Five of the Yorkshire team were set-n to great advantage. For the first wicket Brown and Tunnic.iffe put up 75. Denton was missed directly after he came in, and he and Brown were together at lunch time when the total was 119 for one wicket. This was a very promising commence­ ment, but directly after the game was resumed Brown was lby for a beautiful innings of 67. After Wilkinson was dismissed Denton soon followed him ; his attractive inniogs of 69 had ttken him an hour and forty minutes to compile. Smith and Lord Hawke were disposed of without difficulty, but Hirst and Rhodes added 68 for the seventh wicket in three quaittrsof an hour, HirBtfor once playinga purely de­ fensive game. The innings closed just before the time for drawing stump?. Notts soon met with disasters when play began on Tuesday, but Jones and Dixon bo'h made a p.ucky attempt to put a better appear­ ance on the game. Four men were out, including Jones, for 75, but G. Gunn and Dixon made a long stand, shewing the greatest patience. At half-past three rain came down heavily, when the total was 154 for 6 wickets. After an h<ur and a quarter the game was resumed, and when the next wieket fell 32 rui s were required to save the follow on. If they were made Notts had a fossil le chance of making a draw ; otherwise they would almost certainly lose. But Dixon con' inued to bat splendidly and the inr ings closed for 202—that is to say only 137 behird that of Yorkshire. In their second innings Yorkshire had lost two wickets for 34 when stumps were drawn, and were thus 181 runs ahead. A lot of rain fell on Tuesday night, and the wicket yesterday was very difficult. Hence when his side was 227 runs ahead at lunch time. Lord Hawke declared his innings, feeling confident that Notts could not make the runs on the wicket against Rhodes and Hirst. Nor was he dis­ appointed, for these two bowlers disposed of the Notts men in &n hour and a quarter. Y orkshire . First innings. Second innings. Brown, lbw, b Hallam ... 67 b J.

Played at Egbaston on July 20, 21, and 22. Drawn. There was a slow day's cricket at Edgbaston on Monday, for the two men who made nearly all the runs both played a severely defensive game. They were Qoaife and F. R. Loveitt, who e reappearance in the Warwickshire team has been attended with the greatest success. He was at the wicket for three hours and three-quarters, during which he hardly made a bad hit, but his batting could hardly be de­ scribed as attractive. His only mistake was bis last; he attempted a fhort run to G. L. Jessop. While he and Quaife were ia pirtneJship &7 runs were put on at about the rate of a run a minute, and the most attractive cricket of the day was seen at this time. When stumps were drawn the total was 216 for eight wickets. Ihis was increased by 33 runs on Tuesday. After losing Bainett, Gloucestershire did well for a time, Wrathall and Biownlee making a useful stand. When Jessop came in he began to scoie rapidly at once, and he and Langdon put on 30 in a quarter of an hour before rain came down at half-past one and stopped play for the day. Gloucestershire had then made 102 for three wickets, with Jesaop not out 24, and Langdon not out 13. Rain fell during the night, but the wicket recovered quickly, and play was re­ sumed at twenty minutes past one. Jessop was in brilliant form, and when he was partnered by Spry, runs came at a great pace. Charlesworth bowled five overs for £0 runs. Jessop’s innings lasted for an hour and five minutes, and included ten 4’s. It was a magnificent effort which placed his side in an excellent position. Towards the end of the ia- nings Langdon hit finely. There was now no possi­ bility that the match could be finished. W arw ick sh ire T. S. Fishwick, c Mills, b Cranfield ..........16 F. R.

Played at Old Trafford on July 20, 21 and 22. Drawn. Middlesex, the still unbeaten county, had rather the worst of the first day’s play, for against the Lancashire total of 176 they had only made 8 1, and Warner, Moon, Beldam, and Macgregor were out. No rain had fallen at Manchester for some days, but the wicket was slow, and the bowlers generally had tbe best of matters. Several men played good cricket, but no one succeeded in getting anything like a command over the bowling. Perhaps the most useful innings of the day was the 34 not out of Findlay, for he kept up his wicket while the Lanca­ shire tail were trying desperately hard to make runs. For Mi Idlesex both Warner and Beldam did so well that they seemed likely to carry their bats ; they put up 68 for the first wicket in an hour and twenty-five minutes. When stumps were drawn, E. A. Beldam, who, on the strength of his fine performance at the Crystal Palace, was included in the Middlesex team, was not out, 0. He played a very strong defensive game on Tuesday morning, and finding no one able to offer bim any assistance, carried his bat for 30, thus making a most successful debut for his county under great difficulties. Rain began to fall as soon as the Middlesex innings was over, and there was no more play. Again during the night there was heavy rain, and play was not possible until three o’clock, when Lancashire could do nothing on a sticky wicket against Trott and Hearne. But when their innings closed they had a lead of 106, and Middlesex had not time to make the runs, although, with only four wickets down for 64, they were in a fine position. L ancashire . A. C.
