Played at Sheffield on June 17, 18 and 19. Sussex won by 65 runs. On a wicket which was not quite easy, Sussex lost Vine at 14 and Killick4 later. The association of Fry and the elder Relf, however, improved matters for the visitors considerably, their partnership realising 125 in one hundred and ten minutes. Relf, who hit five 4’s, was then dismissed through playing a ball from Hirst on to his wicket. Fry remained until 164 when, having batted just over three hours, he was caught at mid-on for a faultless innings of 84, which contained ten 4’s, the majority of them drives. Leach made 25, but the last few wickets fell rapidly, and the innings closed for 223. In response, Yorkshire made 52 for two wickets before stumps were drawn, Rhodes being bowled at 12 and Tunni­ cliffe at 36. On the following morning three wickets fell quickly, half the side being out for 84. Then, however, came a most useful stand by Rothery and Myers, who put on 73 in seventy minutes, the former, who showed the best form of the innings, batting an hour-and-a-half for his 34. When the last wicket fell—at 181, made in 220 minutes —the visitors could claim a lead of 42. Sussex, in their second innings, lost Fry to Hirst’s third ball, and his dis­ missal was followed by such a collapse that the fifth wicket fell at 33. Fourteen runs later the seventh wicket fell, and, although Cox and Relf (R.) put on 36, nine wickets had been lost for 110 by the end of the day. During the partnership mentioned, a hower fell, and the ball was rendered so greasy that a towel was used to wipe it. Yesterday the innings closed without addition, and Yorkshire were there­ fore set 153 to win. The first wicket—Tunnicliffe and Rhodes—produced 33, but thirteen later both Rhodes and Kaye were sent back. Against Cox and the elder Relf wickets fell so fast that by lunch time eight were down for 87. After the adjourn­ ment the last two men fell before Cox in the first over, and Sussex were left with a very meritorious victory by 65 runs. Cox took six wickets for 39, and Relf three for 32.

Northamptonshire won by 33 runs. In the absence of E. M. Crosse, the home side were led by C. J. T. Pool, who decided to bat on winning the toss. Cox was bowled with only 3 scored, but Pool and Thompson, who was in an hour for 13, added 25 for the second wicket. The sixth wicket fell at 56, and East, who had been rather un­ lucky hitherto, then went in. After the fall of the seventh wicket at 70, Manning helped to put on 47, and, although Wells failed, the last wicket was responsible for the addition of 80 in ninety-five minutes, Driffield rising to the occasion splendidly. East, who made 81 out of 146 in three hours, was last man out; he showed strong defence, but hit well when occasion offered, and made a dozen 4’s. In response to the total of 202, Hampshire lost Bowell, Sprot, Stone, and Llewellyn for 62 runs ere play ended for the day. On Tuesday Mead and Bacon added 62 for the fifth wicket in 40 minutes—a very valuable performance; the former made his 43 out of 113 in one hundred minutes. During the luncheon interval rain fell, and delayed the resumption a trifle. Langford put on 33for the ninth wicket with Smoker, who helped Newman to add 15 for the last, the con­ sequence being that, when each side had completed an innings, Northants were 9 to the good. When they went in the second time, the home side lost five wickets for 46, after which Pool and Vials added 21 and were still together when, at half-past five, rain caused stumps to be drawn. Yesterday Pool was soon caught at cover, whilst Vials, after batting for 50 minutes, was seventh out at 102. Buswell made a few good hits, and the last wicket—Driffield and Wells—put on 34, but the innings closed for 164, leaving Hampshire 174to win. The visitors collapsed so completely against East and Thompson (G.) that the home side succeeded in pulling in the match by 33 runs. Thompson (G.) and East were in great form with the ball, and to them the result was primarily due. Score and analysis N ortham ptonshire. Total... ...223 Total ...110 C. J. T.

NOTTINGHAMSH IRE v. ESSEX. Played at Nottingham on June 17, 18, and 19. Drawn. The visitors lacked the services of Fane and Kortright, but nevertheless continued to give a good account of themselves. Douglas left with only 24 scored, but Freeman and Perrin then added 167 in two hours and a half for the second wicket before the former, who was missed by Hallam at 18 and again when 24, was bowled by Iremonger. Perrin, as usual, showed a partiality for the Notts’ bowling, and, although missed by Jones at mid-off when 72, played a very meritorious innings; he scored his 105 out of 180 in one hundred and seventy-five minutes. Of the other players, McGahey alone met with much success, and he was very slow, taking one hundred and forty minutes to score 52 not out. At the end of the day the total was 307 for eight wickets, made in three hundred and thirty minutes. On Tuesday morning the innings was concluded in half-an-hour for an additional 28, McG^hey batting altogetherfor one hundred and sixty-five minutes for 59, a score which did not contain a single boundary stroke. Notts lost Ircmonger in the first over with only two runs scored, and had Jones missed when 8 and apparently caught at slip when 15. During the luncheon interval rain fell somewhat heavily, and no further play was possible until twenty minutes past three. The Notts captain played a most valuable innings of 164, batting two hundred and fifteen minutes, and, apart from the chance already mentioned, made no mistake until he had reached 157, when he was again let off. He drove with much power, and hit fifteeu 4’s. George Gunn, who gave a faultless display for 53, helped to put on 114 for the second wicket, whilst Hardstaff assisted Jones in adding 109 for the fourth. At the end of the day the home side, with six wickets in hand, were only 46 runs behind. On the third morning, Buckenham bowled so well that four wickets quickly fell for 39, and only Hardstaff, who batted without a mistake for 135 minutes, met the attack with any confidence : he hit five 4’s. The consequence was that Notts’ lead was restricted to 29, Buckenham on the Wednesday having secured five wickets for 48. Essex fared rather badly when commencing their second venture, Freeman being bowled at 21, and Perrin stumped when he had made only 11. Douglas batted well for 37, but of the others only McGahey showed much command over the bowling. John Gunn took five wickets for 62, and was mainly responsible for the visitors being put out for 190. Notts were left with 162 to win, but were unable to make the number in the time available, the match consequently being drawn. Score and analysis :— E ssex . First innings.
