Played at Worcester on July 19, 20 and 21. H EAVY SCORING. Drawn. The commencement of this match was marked by some spirited play on the part of H. K. Foster, who, hitting ten 4’s,made 52 out of 79 in 50 minutes ere being bowled off his pads. After his departure the bowlers fora time held the upper hand, and half the side were out for 107. Burns and Pearson, however, put on 116 for the sixth wicket in 70 minutes ere the former, who hit a dozen 4’s, was sent back for a faultless innings of 87 made out of 143 in an hour and three-quarters. Wheldon was soon disposed of, but Wilson, who hit ten 4’s and scored 66 out of 129 in an hour and a-half, assisted Pearson in adding 95 for the eighth wicket in an hour. The last-named played a very good innings indeed, hitting seven 4’s and making 95 out of 239 in two hours and a-half. The innings closed for 380 and, in response, Leices­ tershire scored 47 without loss ere stumps were drawn. On the following day Wood and Whitehead remained together until the score had reached 380, made in 270 minutes, by this means equalling Wor­ cestershire’s aggregate before the first wicket fell. Both men played faultless cricket, and each made the highest score of his career. Whitehead reached 50 in 80 minutes, 100 in 150,150 in 240, and, in all, scored 174 out of 380 in 270 minutes; he hit a 6 and twenty-two 4’s. Wood reached 50 in 55 minutes, 100 in 140,150 in 230, 200 in 310, and, altogether, scored 225 out of 464 in 330 minutes: he hit twenty-four 4’s, his play on the on-side being very strong. The first 100 runs of the partnership were made in an hour, whilst 200 was reached in 140 minutes, and 300 in 210. Knight, who hit freely, afterwards remained in with Coe until play ceased for the day, the total when Btumps were drawn being 547 for two wickets. On Saturday, Coe was sent back with a single added, but Crawford and Knight then put on 83 for the fourth wicket and the former and de Trafford 70 without being separated for the fifth, the major­ ity of them coming from the bat of Crawford, who hit brilliantly. Knight batted for two hours and three-quarters for his faultless 97, and hit two 5’s and seven 4’s. Crawford made his 102 out of 153 in 75 minutes, his most remunerative strokes being three 6’s and twelve 4’s. When 701 had been scored for fourwickets in 465 minutes, the innings was declared closed, Worcestershire requiring 321 to save the innings’ defeat, and having four hours and a-half to bat. Foster was out at 45, but Arnold and Bowley added 200 for the second wicket in 155 minutes, and the latter and Hutchings 99 for the third without being parted. Bowley scored 167 out of 344 in 230 minutes without losing his wicket, whilst Arnold made 112 out of 200 in 155 minutes: the former hit a 5 and twenty-two 4’s and the latter a 5 and eleven 4’8. As many as 1,425 runs were made in the match for sixteen wickets, 500 being made for two on the second day and 498 for four on the last. Score and analysis:— W orcestershire . First innings.

The opening day’s play in this match was marked by a fine innings on the part of Fane, who scored 102 out of 290 in three hours and a quarter. With Carpenter he made 58 for the first wicket in three- quarters of an hour, with Perrin 54 for the second in 30 minutes, and with McGahey 93 for the third in just under an hour. The last-named, who hit nine 4’s and played particularly well on the on-side, scored 60 out of the 93 mentioned. He was some­ what fortunate, however, for when he had made only a single Thompson bowled him with a no-ball, and when he had scored 32 he was missed in the slips. Fane was sent back at 290 for an innings which contained many very fine off-drives. When he had made 35 he might have been caught and bowled by Thompson, but, apart from that, made no mistake during his innings, which contained fifteen 4’s. Reeves and Buckenham, who batted for 45 minutes and hit seven 4’s, afterwards scored well, and the total was taken to 392. In the 40 minutes which remained for play, Northamptonshire made 35 for the loss of Kingston. Only eleven had been added on Friday ere Cox was l.b.w. and Manning bowled, whilst when Vials was shortly afterwards disposed of four wickets were down for 50. Neither Pool nor Crosse made a stand, six men being out by the time the score had reached 100. Thompson and East then came together, and by very slow cricket added 104 for the seventh wicket in two hours and five minutes. So slow was the scoring at times that at one period only five runs were made in half-an-hour. East, who was missed when he had made 19, was at the wickets for two hours and a-quarter, whilst Thompson batted for 200 minutes for his quiet but valuable innings of 68, which contained eight 4’s. The whole side were dismissed for 221, which took four hours and three-quarters to make. It will be seen that the Essex bowlers sent down as many as 47 maiden overs during the innings. Although leading by 171 runs, Essex naturally preferred to bat again to returning to the field with tired bowlers. The idea evidently was to make runs as fast as possible. Carpenter and Fane made 49 for the first wicket in half-an-hour, but, so deadly did Wells’ bowling then prove, that half the side were out for 95. Carpenter and Douglas, however, succeeded in playing out time, the score when stumps were drawn being 131 for five wickets, Essex then being 302 runs on with half their wickets in hand. On Saturday 59 were added in 45 minutes for the loss of one wicket and then the declaration was put into force, Northamptonshire being left 305 minutes in which to get 362 to win. Carpenter, who cut splendidly, hit a 5 and ten 4’s, whilst Douglas, who carried out his bat for 52 (made in 80 minutes) hit seven 4’s. The visi­ tors lost Crosse at 5, and, although Kingston and Pool added 39 for the second wicket, four were down for 77 before three o’clock. At this point a win for Essex appeared quite possible, but Thompson, East, Vials and Manning all made useful scores, and succeeded in drawing the match, Northampton­ shire, when stumps were drawn, requiring 104 to win, with only one wicket in hand.

DERBYSHIRE v. WES I’ INDIANS. Played at Derby on July 19, 20 and 21. Derbyshire won by six wickets. Although without Bestwick, their most useful bowler, who was absent owing to the death of his wife, Derbyshire inflicted a six-wicket defeat upon the visitors. Tho West Indians lost Layne at 8 and Challenor at 38, after which Constantine and Smith added 53 for the third wicket in 40 minutes. The rest of the innings was noticeable for an innings of 81 not out by Goodman, who made his runs out of 142 in two liaurs and twenty minutes. He hit nine 4’s, but was twice missed—when 24 and 51. With Morrison he put on 40 for the last wicket in 35 minutes. The county fared badly upon going in, losing three wickets in the first three-quarters of an hour, but a partnership of 78 for the fourth wicket by Wright and Morton, which lasted 55 minutes, improved matters greatly. Still, seven wickets were down for 140 when Fletcher, whose debut it was for the county, joined Warren. Together the two added 61 for the eighth wicket in 50 minutes, and eventu­ ally the innings closed for 217, or 16 behind. When they went in the second time the West Indians lost four wickets for 62, although Ohallenor and Con­ stantine made 43 for the opening partnership. Ollivierre then hit well, and claimed 40 out of 65 in half-an-hour before being caught at point. Layne, hitting six 4’s, afterwards made 63 in 115 minutes, and,with Austin put on 62 for the sixth wicket in 50 minutes. The innings closed for 242, and Derby
