Although without Woods, Bisgood, and Newton, Somerset gained a well-deserved victory by seven wickets. For their success they were very largely indebted to Braund who, in addition to scoring 42 for once out, took fourteen wickets for 141. He got Warwickshire’s first two wickets down for 9, and, although Charlesworth and Quaife made double figures, six men were out for 71. Baker played a fine defensive innings, his off-strokes and leg-hits being very good : he hit seven 4’s and made his 70 out of 124 in 145 minutes by faultless cricket. Byrne, Santall, and Hargreave all made useful scores, and the innings only just failed to realise 200. The wicket had improved as the day pro- f ressed, but, notwithstanding this, Somerset lost alairet at 16, and Hodgkinson at 24. Half the side were out for 75, but Braund and Montgomery, both ex-Surrey men, then coming together, added thirty without being separated by the time play ceased for the day. In all, their partnership for the sixth wicket lasted 70 minutes and realised 58, and Braund had scored 29 of the 80 Obtained whilst in. Montgomeiy made his 50 in 100 minutes by faultless cricket, his driving being very good indeed. The last few wickets gave little trouble, and Somerset were 14 behind on the first innings. When War­ wickshire went in the second time, Braund was very destructive and took seven wickets for 36, his last four without a run. He kept a splendid length and made the ball turn very quickly. Somerset were left 95 to win, and made so light of the task that they made the runs for the loss of only three wickets. Lewis hit resolutely, scoring 45 in half-an- hour and hitiing nine 4’s.

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Nottingham on July 11 and 12. Notts, won by an innings and 107 runs. Such good progress was made with this match on the opening day that twenty wickets fell for 368 runs. The visitors left out Ollivierre and included Slater, of Cresswell. Against Wass and Hallam runs proved very difficult to obtain, and only Slater and Warren reached double figures. Wass took six wickets for 31, obtaining them all in his last eleven overs at a cost of three runs each. The wicket had improved considerably when Notts, went in, and by a series of useful partnerships a substantial lead was soon obtained Iremonger and Turner made 42 together in 25 minutes, the latter and G. Gunn 43 in 535, and the brothers Gunn 49 in half-an- hour. Each of the latter hit seven 4’s, George batting an hour and a-quarter and John an hour and fifty minutes. Hai-dstaff, who drove and pulled well, and hit a 5 and nine 4’s during the 85 minutes he was in, helped the latter to add 112 for the fourth wicket in the time named. The total was 251 when the fifth wicket fell, but Warren and Bestwick afterwards bowled with such effect that the innings closed for 290. In their second innings Derbyshire again did poorly, and in 45 minutes lost four wickets for 29. Cadman and Carlin, however, put on 50 together by plucky cricket, but Hallam after­ wards took four wickets in 19 balls for five runs, and Derbystyre were beaten by an innings and 107 runs.

Lord Hawke, upon winning the toss, decided to put Essex in, as there had been much rain, and the wicket appeared likely to improve. The experiment proved a great success, and Yorkshire won easily on the second afternoon by an innings and 32 runs. Run-getting was very slow at the start, and when Douglas was sent back at 10 play had been in progress half-an-hour. Perrin was caught at the wicket at 16, and seventeen runs later Haigh took the ball from Hirst. The change in the bowling had a great effect upon the play, for Haigh, keeping a fine length and coming very quickly off the ground, took five wickets for nine runs, the innings, after lasting two hours, closing for 69. Essex gave a very poor display, and would probably have done better had they endeavoured to play a freer game. The wicket had certainly imploved by the time Yorkshire went in, and Rhodes and Tunnicliffe gave their side a useful start by making 23 together for the first wicket, whilst Denton and Grimshaw added 40 in half-an-hour for the third : Rhodes made his 24 out of 52 in forty-five minutes, and Denton, who hit seven 4’s, 46 out of 79 in sixty-five. Hirst and Haigh further improved matters by putting on 46 in forty minutes, the score when stumps were drawn being 207 for eight wickets. On Friday, on a hard wicket, Hirst and Lord Hawke put on 112 for the ninth wicket in seventy minutes, the former, who pulled well and hit eleven 4’s, making his 78 out of 214 in eighty minutes, and the latter hitting four 4’s during the seventy minutes he was in. Mead did very well to take six wickets for 88 in an innings of 310 Requiring 241 to save the innings defeat, Fane and Douglas made 32 for the first wicket in thirty minutes, and the former and Perrin 35 for the second in thirty-five. Perrin and McGahey remained together eighty minutes, what lime 93 were made for the third wicket in eighty minutes, but both men were very lucky. Against Rhodes and Haigh the last five wickets fell for 31, and Yorkshire were left victorious by an innings and 32 runs. In the whole match Haigh took nine wickets for 67 runs.
