J u l y 5, 1906. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 245 ESSEX v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Leyton on June 28, 29 and 30. Drawn. Essex made a poor start in this important match, losing Carpenter at 5 and Perrin at 22. Fortunately, Fane, who was in capital form, found useful partners in McGahey and Gillingham, adding 43 for the third wicket with the former and 65 for the fourth with the latter. He obtained his 65 out of 130 in two hours and five minutes, making many fine drives and hitting six 4’s. He might have been caught when 49, but made no other mistake. He provided Hirst with his hundredth wicket for the season. The remainder of the innings was note­ worthy for a fine display by Gillingham, who, driving with great power and hitting five 4’s, made 89 not out out of 166 in two hours and a-half without giving a chance. Of the total of 231 made by the side, Fane and Gillingham were responsible for 154. Rhodes and Rothery scored 24 for Yorkshire’s first wicket, but, as Buckingham dismissed both the players named as well as Denton in three overs, three wickets fell in 40 minutes for 27. Hirst and Tunnicliffe added 33 together but, when stumps were drawn, the -visitors had seven wickets down for 77, and were then 154 behind. On account of the heavy rain during Thursday night, no play was possible on the Friday until four o’clock. Grimshaw and Hawke were quickly sent back, but Hunter and Myers made a determined stand for the last wicket. The former was missed in the slips when he had made 17, but in such a stand runs are seldom made without some good fortune. The two men were together for 110 minutes, during which period they added 54—a partnership of the greatest value to the side. Essex, with a lead of 93, had five minutes’ batting at the end of the day, and lost Buckenham without a run having been made. On the following morning Russell was out at 12 and Carpenter at 38, but Perrin and Fane then added 83 together for the fourth wicket in 80 minutes, the latter batting an hour and a-half for 29. Perrin, who hit six 4’s, and was missed off the first ball he received, made 62, but it cannot be said that he was seen at his best. After Reeves and Turner had scored 57 without being separated for the eighth wicket in half-an- hour, the innings was declared closed, Yorkshire being left 165 minutes in which to make 298 to win. Both Rothery and Denton were out for 26, but Tunnicliffe’8 steady play put the possibility of defeat for his side out of the question. With Rhodes he put on 24 for the third wicket in an hour, and with Hirst 91 for the fourth, without a separation being effected, in similar time. When stumps were drawn, and the match left undecided, the visitors, with seven wickets in hand, were 156behind. Essex played a capital game throughout, and deserve much praise for their fine performance. Score and analysis E ssex . First innings. F. L. Fane, b Hirst ... Carpenter, b Hirst ...

WILTSHIRE v. WEST INDIANS. Played at Swindon on June 29 and 30. Wiltshire won by 86 runs. Receni heavy rain prevented any play taking place until after lunch on the first day. but, this notwith­ standing, the game was brought to a definite conclu­ sion, Wiltshire winning a somewhat low-scoring game by 86 runs. The chief features of the match were the batting of Newman, who hit six 4’s in his 79, and the all-round play of Smith, who scored 52 and 26 and took twrelve wickets. Score and analysis W iltsh ire .

DERBY­ SHIRE. Played at Northampton on June 28, 29 & 30* Northamptonshire won by ten wickets. Heavy rain prevented any play from taking place in this match before one o’clock on Friday after­ noon. Run-getting was never an easy matter; in fact, although play was so greatly curtailed,as many as sixteen wickets fell for 236 runs before stumps were drawn. Derbyshire collapsed in a sensational manner before East, who, keeping a perfect length, and assisted by a high wind, took seven wickets for 22, and, with Thompson, bowled unchanged. The innings lasted 100 minutes exactly, and realised but 68. East had never before performed so well with the ball in a great match, and his success was natur­ ally very popular. Pool proved to be in capital form when the home side went in, for he made 83 out of 131 in two hours without giving a chance, cutting and driving well, and hitting seven 4’s. Cox helped him score 45 for the first wicket in 45minutes, whilst, with Crosse, he added 70 for the second in an hour. When stumps were drawn Northamptonshire, who had made 168 for six wickets, were 100 runs on with four wickets in hand. On Saturday morning the four outstanding wickets fell in 35 minutes for 22, the innings closing for 190, which gave the home side the substantial lead of 122. Derbyshire gave a very feeble display in their second innings, and only Wright and Warren, who put on 80 for the sixth wicket in three-quarters of an hour, reached double figures. Warren hit well, and made his runs in 45 minutes, whilst Wright batted an hour longer, play­ ing a very steady game. Thompson bowled splen­ didly, taking nine wickets for 64, and after lunch claiming four for 6. Northamptonshire, set 2 to win, won by ten wickets. Score and analysis:— D erbyshire . First innings. L.

Seeing that they took the field without Udal, and, in the second part of the match, were deprived of the services of Branston, their best all-round man, Oxford did by no means badly in being beaten by the narrow margin of 18 runs. The M.C.C started well, Raphael and Challoner scoring 79 together for the opening partnership in five minutes under the hour. Of the other players, however, only Key reached doublo figures, the collapse after luncheon being so pronounced that the last five wickets went down in 40 minutes for 18. Raphael, who made seven 4’s, scored 51 out of 101 in 70 minutes without
