DERBYSHIRE. Played at Old Trafford on August 6 and 7. Lancashire won by nine wickets. With 160 runs on, and with only one man out, and 213 with only three out, Derbyshire seemed to be going particularly strong on the first day of this match. But then came a sudden breakdown, and the innings ended in disappointment. L. G. Wiight, who has again got into his style, played a splendid innings, which lasted for three hours, and included fourteen 4’s. Ollivierre also played a great game. The commencement of the Lancashire innings was mo*t encouraging to Derbyshire men, for after Maclaren and Bpooner had put up 64in three-quarters of an hour for the first wicket, three more men were out in a few minutes, and when stumps were drawn the total was only 73for four wickets. But Maclaren was not out 39, and on the next day he and Hornby played very fine cricket, although, despite their efforts, their county was six runs behind on the first inniogs. When Derbyshire went in again they could do very little with Hallows, and nothing at all with Barnes, and at five o’clock Maclaren and Spooner vere able to go in again for Lancashire. Ninety- eight runs were required to win, and the two men made 97 of them before Spooner was dismissed for an excellent 44. The partnership had lasted for fifty- five minutes. Maclaren now made a 4 and won the match, his brilliant innings having lasted for an hour. D erbyshire . First innings. Second innings. L. G.

Yorkshire won by ten wickets. After giving an excellent account of themselves in their first innings, Leicestershire gradually allowed their opponents to get the upper hand, and crumpled up in their second innings in the most unexpected manner. Not that they seemed to have much chance of winning at any time, for when the tirst day’s play ended Yorkshire, going in against a total of 32 !’, had scored 99 without loss, and were thus in an excellent position, from which they never receded. The bat­ ting of three of the Leicestershire men on the first day was distinctly good, and V. F. S. Crawford, who has been so disappointing this season, Mas in his very best form, makiog his 77 runs in fifty minutes by brilliant cricket. Later in the day Gill scored rapidly, his first fifty runs being made out of sixty in forty minutes, and his score of 61 out of 79 in fifty minutes. But, perhaps, the finest innings of the day was the 118 by C. J. B. Wood, who went in first, and carried his tat after a stay at the wickets of four hours and ten minutes. When stumps were drawn Yorkshire were in, Brown being not out 66, and TunniclifFe not out 27. The partnership was soon broken on Friday morning, having produced 112 in an hour and twenty-five minutes. Hirst and Rhodes both played very fine cricket, and most useful pccres were made bv Denton, Wilkinson, and Lord Hawke. Yorkehire had a lead of 93. By the end of the day Leicestershirs lost six wickets for 62 and were thus completely out of the running. L eicestershire . First innings. C. E. de Trafford, b Hirst... 7 C. J. B.
