He went in to bat when his side was in great difficulties, with three wickets down for about 25, kept up his end till the total was 146 for eight, and was then joined by E. M. C.

Stone then hit with great deter­ mination, and, receiving splendid assist­ ance from his partner, had the satisfaction of bringing his own total to 174, and made a score of 203, thanks to a splendid stand by E. M. C. Ede and Stone for the ninth wicket. Notts stood at 91 for four wickets against Yorkshire at Trent Bridge, and were out for 114, owing to the bowling of Rhodes and Haigh.

At the Oval the Aus­ tralians were doing well with 203 on the board for five wickets, and were all out for 241, thanks to some fine bowling by Smith. Gloucestershire, at Old Trafford, had 177 up for two wickets against Lancashire, and were out for 201, Oook, the new Lancashire fast bowler, being the main cause of the downfall. At Portsmouth, Hampshire lost four wickets for 28 and eight for 146, and yet was at one time 99 for one wicket against Warwickshire, and the whole side was out for 148. Derbyshire stood at 124 for four wickets in their second innings against Leicestershire at Leicester, and were out for 149, The Australians, in their second innings against Surrey, were at one time 206 for three wickets; the innings ended for 271.

S o u well-known cricketers of former to matches last Saturday. Middlesex declared, leaving Essex to make 254 to win in two hours and forty minutes, and thanks largely to Perrin and Carpenter, Essex won with twenty minutes to spare. Sussex, who had to make 231 after lunch against Hampshire, required 120 to win with an hour and a half to go. Thanks to Vine and Leach, they made these runs in fifty minutes. Surrey had to make 156 in two hours and a quarter against the Australians, and, going for the runs, seemed likely to win with ease. But when only 41 runs were required at about a run a minute, with eight wickets in hand, disasters came thick and fast.
