SUSSEX. Played at Edgbaston on May 9, 10 and 11. Sussex won by four wickets. Sussex took the field without Fry, who again decided to postpone his first appearance of the season, whilst Warwickshire, owing to the soft nature of the ground, left out Field. Against Dwyer the home side lost their first three wickets for 16 runs and, although Quaife and Baker put on 57 together and Byrne and Devey reachcd double figures, the total amounted to only 124. The innings lasted two hours and three-quarters and, notwith­ standing that it was played on a slow drying wicket, came somewhat as a disappointment. Sussex commenced even more disastrously than their opponents had done, four wickets falling for 11 runs, and half the side being out for 21. Then the younger Keif came in and played a most valuable innings. With Cox he added 28 for the sixth wicket and with Smith 40 for the seventh; altogether he scored 82 out of 158 in two hours, hitting two 6’s and seven 4’s and being bowled in the last over of the day. He was twice missed— when 33 and 70—but played an excellent game for his side. When stumps were drawn Sussex, with two wickets in hand, were 45 runs on. On the Friday no play was possible before a-quarter to three, owing to rain. The visitors’ innings was very quickly concluded. Leach carrying out his bat fora vigorous 51. which was made in 55 minutes and contained,two 6’s and seven 4’s. Warwickshire, in arrears of 55, lost Fishwick at 4, Cbarlesworih at 13, and Kinneirat 28. Quaife and Baker added 43 for the fourth wicket, but three men were sent back at 74 when the home side, with but three wickets in hand, were only 19 runs on. Byrne. Santall, and Ilargreave, however, all reached double figures, the last wicket adoing 21, and Sussex being set 71 to win. With the close of the Warwickshire innings, play ceased for the day. On the third morning run-getting proved no easy matter, and Sussex lost half-a-dozen wickets ere the winning hit was made. Charlesworth took three wickets for 26 runs, and Santall did a successful little piece of bowling at the close. Score and analysis:— W ARWICKSIIIRE. First innings. T. S.

Played at Northampton on May 9 and 10. Notts, won by an innings and 65 runs. The sun coming out after rain during the night rendered the wicket entirely to the liking of Wass. wrho took six wickets for 25 runs and so proved the chief factor in the collapse of Northants for 52 in 85 minutes. Pool and Kingston, who alone reached double figures, put on 25 for the third wicket. A precisely similar number was made by lremonger and Turner for the first Notts wicket, despite which four men were out for 37. Payton then joined George Gunn and, cutting and driving in vigorous style/scored 60 of the 87 the partnership realised in 40 minutes ; he hit nine 4’s. Apart from Alletson, who made 25, little other resistance was offered, but Notts were able to claim a lead of 153on the innings. Gunn carried out his bat for a faultless effort of 70, made out of 180 in a couple of hours. His chief hits were six 4’s and six 3’s. In the remaining fifty minutes the home side again collapsed before Wass and Hallam, and lost half-a-dozen wickets for 21 runs before stumps were drawn. On the following morning Manning and Bnswell remained together until 45, the latter playing a very useful innings. Wells afterwards made a few good hits, but Notts won easily by an innings and 65 runs. Score and analysis:— N orthamptonshire . First innings. Second innings. W. H.

FOSTER’ S X II. Played at Oxford on May 9, 10 and II. Mr. E. L. Wright’s Sidewon by seven wickets. By means of some very consistent scoring, Wright’s Side made 283 for nine wickets on the opening day. The honours were carried off by Hooman, of Charter­ house, who hit ten 4’s during the 100 minutes he was in. He made some good hits, but his display was not faultless: with Lowe he added 74 for the fourth wicket. Very promising cricket was also shown by Strahan, who claimed 41 of the 59 made for the first wicket in 55 minutes. On Friday morning only 21 runs were added before the innings closed. Foster’s Side were given a splendid start by Vidal and Bow- ring, who made 72 for the first wicket in 50 minutes. After their separation, however, there was a pro­ nounced collapse, and Lowe, a fast-medium right- handed bowler, took five wickets for 46. When they followed-on Vidal was out without a inn, and by the end of the day 71 had been made for a couple of wickets. On Saturday. Brandt, Wyer, and Gold made useful scores and Wright’s Side were set 125 to win. This number, owing largely to an innings of 52 by Salter, was obtained for the loss of four wickets.
