Against a weakM.C.C. eleventhe greatly improved Leicestershire team gave a sp'eadid account of them­ selves. On the first day of the match they scored 418 for the loss of five wickets, and although on the next day they only increased their totil by 43, they twice dismissed their opponents for a small score on a wicket which was showing signs of w ar. The chief features of the first day’s cricket was the batting of Knight and King who, duriog a partnership which lasted for three hours and three-quarters, iacreased the total by i:9i runs. Knight was batting for ahout five hours for his splendid innings of 203, which com­ prisedan8 (4 for an overthrow), a 5, and twenty-seven 4’s. Tarrant, who made 84 not out in two hours and a half, was the only man who did himself justice ia the first innings of tbe M.C.C., although J. T. Hearne kept up his wicket for nearly an hour. In the follow-on, Tarrant again did well, and Board played a very useful innings. L e ic e ste r sh ir e . C. E. de Trafford, b Trott....................... 26 C. J. B.

Played at Worcester on June 16, 17 and 18. Drawn. The Worcestershire team came out of this match with the greatest credit, for although they had to follow-on in a minority of 236 th«y played up so well in their second innings that when play ended they had a lead of 220 runs with two wickets still in hand. On the first day of the matchYorkshire scored 447 for nine wickets. They began badly by losing three wickets for 77 although ths pitch was perfect, but a long partnership between Denton and Rhodes pro­ duced 129 runs, and later on the innings Haigh and Rhodes added 132 runs in an hour for the seventh wicket. Rhodes played a wonderfully good innings and was batting for three hours and three-quarters for his 196, which included twenty-two 4’s ; his last hundred runs were scoredin an hour and teaminutes The innings was quickly ended on Friday m orniD g, andthentheWorcestershire m en played a disappoint­ ing game with the exception of H. K. Foster and A. W. Isaac, who came together when the total was only 44 for five wickets. Isaac played a most useful innings, while Foster was in his very best form. Towards the end of the inning<Foster hit with great determination, and although he received little assist­ ancehemanaged to score overa hundred. Arnold was not well enough to bat In the follow-on, Hirst, who had puzzled the batsmen very greatly in the first innings, was ineffective,and when stumpsweredrawn Worcestershire had made 154 without loss, Bowley being not out 84 and Pearpon not out 59. On Satur­ day morning the partnership was broken when 26 more runs had beenadded, butthanks to the fineplay of thetwo firstwicketmen theYorkshire le*d wasnow reducedto60. Afterwards Arnold, Wneldon.Bromley- Martin, Simpson-Hayward and Bird ali batted so well that when the match ended the total was 466 for eight wickets. Bird, who carried his bat. w*a at the wickets for three hours, and his stubborn resistance had not a little to do with the good position in which Worcestershire found themselves. Y orksh ire . H.

Played at Nottingham on June 16, 17 and 18. Drawn. On a perfect wicket Notts were 1atticg all through the first dty of thi* match, and scored *18 for three wicket-, their success being not a little due to mis- tikesiu the field. The innings of the day was the 221 by Irtm nger, who went in first as usual and was uot out when stumps were drawn. His partnership with J. Gunn produced 189 runs in two hours and a half. On the next morning Notts added 1*4 iu o s to the total in the course of a couple of hours, and the innings came to an end at naif-past one o’clock. Iremonger mide the highest score of the year, 272; it was a great performance although he gave threeor four chances. His innings lasted for six hours and a quarter, and his hits included 39 fours Thanks chiefly to Humphreys, who played an exceedingly g >odgame for three hours, and W. P. Harrison, who was making his dibut, Kent did fairly well, and when stumps were drawn their total was 240 for eight wicket*. Their chances of saving the match did not seem very great when play was resntned on the next morni' g, but a great surprise was in store for the Notts bowlers, who failed to partthetwo not outs,” Blythe (15) and Fairservice (17) until the total had been increased by 106. The two men played really good cricket. Despite their efforts the follow-on could not be saved, but when Kent went in again Humphreys played another beautiful innings, and as he received valuable assistance from Seymour and Alec Hearne, Kent easily succeeded in making a drawn game.

South Africans won by ten wickets. On the first day of this match the 8outh African team scored 200 for the loss of six wickets against a total of 237 by Warwickshire, and thus had decidedly the best of the game, although no one could have anticipated that they would win by such a large margin as ten wickets. At the commencementof the Warwickshire innings Fishwick and Kinne r battel so well that 76 went up for the first wicket, but from this time the bowlers always held their own, Sinclair and Llewellyn both being in floe form. When the South Africans went in Tancred playe t a great game for a couple of hours and was still undefeated when stumps were drawn ; his score was then 96. Sinclair made 29 in about ten minutes, and Ll9wellyn and fcchwarz both played well. On Friday Tancred was out soon after reaching his hundred, but Snooke and white made such a fine stand for an hour aud ten minutes that when the innings came to an end their side had a lead of 106. As there was nothing the matter with the wicket it was only reasonable to suppose that Warwickshire would have no difficulty in wiping off the deficiency, but although the first two wickets produced 69 runs, the batting afterwards broke down so badly that the South Africans only
