Played at Trent Bridge on June 30 and July 1 and 2. Drawn. Without Brearley and Huddleston the all-conquer­ ing Lancashire team had a trying experience on the first day of this match, for Notts scored 363 runs for the loss of only three wickets. Iremonger and A. O. J ones put up 169 in a couple of hours for the first wicket, and after the latter was dismissed Iremonger went on steadily until he was within 3 runs of his second hundred, when, after batting for about five hours, he was caught at the wicke*. Among hfs hits were a 6 (4 for an overthrow) and twenty-four 4’s. He gave an easy chance with his total at 109, but otherwise there was no fault to be found with his crieket. Day, who was not out 67 when stumps were drawn, had then been batting for two hours and a half. On Friday, the remaining seven Notts wickets fell quickly. Lancashire lost Spooner before he had scored a run, at 54 Garnett was dismissed, and Poidevin followed him at 1 1 1. Then ensued a remark­ able partnership between Maclaren and Tyldesley, which when Btumps were drawn had produced 288 runs in about three hours. Tyldesley was not out 200, and Maclaren not out 126—total, 399 for three wickets. On Saturday the batsmen made no attempt to hit Jones, and runs were made so slowly that by lunch time Notts were safe. The partnersh p between Maclaren and Tyldesley accounted for 324 runs in four hours and a quarter. The rest of the game was without interest. N otts . A. O.

LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Brighton on June 30, July i and 2. Sussex won by an innings and 92 runs. In the absence of Ranjitsiohji, who was at Lord’s for the University match, Sussex reined likely to have some difficulty in beating Leicestershire, who have come on this season in such a remarkable manner. C. J. B. Wood was absent from the Leicestershire team owing to an accident. Although the wicket was good Leicestershire did not make the best use of their opportunity of batting first, and they took nearly all day to score 277. The chief feature of the day’s cricket was th? tatting of Fry, who, in the course of an hour, scored 46 out of a total of 63 for no wickets; he made 38 out of the first fifty. On the next day the Leicestershire men had an excellent opportunity of watching Fry’s methods, for he was batting for three hours and three-quarters, during which time he increased his overnight total by 145, showing a complete mastery over the boWiing from first to last. With Killick as a partner he helped to put on 135 runs in an hour and a-half, and with Newham €7 in forty minutes. Towards the end of the day Smith broke through his run of 14’s and made an excellent and very careful 48 in two hours, while Leach scored 66 in an hour and ten minutes. The innings came to an end just before stumps were drawn, Sussex having a lead of 210. Unfortunately for Leicestershire Vine’s old form returned to him on Saturday, and although the wicket still remained good, despite a heavy shower in the morning, he carried everything before him, taking seven wickets for 45 runs.

DERBYSHIRE. THE HIGHEST INDIVIDUAL SCORE OF THE SEASON. Played at Derby on June 30, July 1 and 2. Surrey won by an innings and 103 runs. There was several alterations in the Surrey team for this match, while Bestwick was absent from the Derbyshire side on account of a strain. Derbyshire were batting all through the first day on a perfect wicket, scoring 373 for nine wickets. They began so badly, losing three wickets for 34, that for a long time the batsmen who followed adopted the most cautious tactics, and Storer was at the wickets for two hours and forty minutes for his very useful 52. Later Curgenven played a very attractive game, and made the highest score of his career as a first-class cricketer; he was batting for about the same time as Storer. The weather was very hot and oppressive during the day, and there were ominous signs of rain ; but, happily for Surrey, the rain did not make an appearance on the morrow. Morton carried his bat for 56, an innings of considerable merit. For the rest of the day Surrey held their own, and when stumps were drawn they had scored 447 and had only lost half their wickets. Hayward was again in splendid form. He and Baker put up 87 for the first wicket, and at lunch time the total had been taken to 100 without further loss. Hayward was out at 157 for a wonderfully good innings of 91, which had taken him two hours and a quarter to compile. After this Hayes and Holland scored 105 in an hour and twenty minutes, and Sheppard and Hayes 160 in an hour and a half. Sheppard played a faultless innings. When stumps were drawn Hayes was not out 175, for which he had been been battiog for four hours, showing a perfect command over the bowling. There did not seem much probability on Saturday that the match would be finished, but Hayes and Lees put on 101 runs in a little over three-quarters of an hour, and although no one else helped him much, Hayes continued to hit so frequently and with such power that when the innings was closed at about a quarter-past one Surrey had a lead of 225 runs. Hayes was missed several times, but his cricket was of the most brilliant kind. He was at the wickets for five hours and a half and his hits included a six, a five and 39 fours. Derbyshire began badly enough by losing L. G. Wright, and although the wicket still remained good, L<es found a weak spot in it, and bowling with splendid judgment brought about a breakdown in the batting; he took eight wickets for 66.
