MIDDLESEX. Flayed at Sheffield on August 12 and 13. Yorkshire won by eev« n wicket p . Middlesex were not at full strength for this match, MacGregor, Bosanquet, and Page being among the absentees, but Yorkshire were without Haigh, who was still too unwell to play. Rain had somewhat affected the wicket, and on Monday fourteen wickets fell for 307 runs. The visitors made a capital start. Warner and Douglas made 35 for the first wicket in the same number of minutes, and the former and Payne 55 for the second in sixty-five. During the latter partnership the play was at times slow, but it was always interesting. Warner, after batting an hour and three-quarters for 42, was third out at 99. The bowlers then gained the upper hand, and the total was only 140 when the eighth wicket fell. Napier, going in tenth, quickly hit up 15, making three 4’s and a 2 off an over from Deyes, but the innings closed for 173. Myers, keeping an excellent length and getting plenty of work on tbe ball, took six wickets for 35 runs. Yorkshire lost Rothery and Denton for 33, but Tunnicliffe and Wilkinson improved matters by adding (50 in 55 minutes for the third wicket. Hirst made 18, and at the end of the day the total was 134 for four wickets. On Tuesday morning Tunnicliffe and Rhodes put on 52 together, the former then being bowled for a valuable, but very fortunate, innings of 75, which lasted two and three-quarter hours and contained eleven 4’s. Rhodes, making many fine pulls and off-drives, scored his 6(5 in 90 minutes without a mistake : he hit nine 4’s. The rest of the side did little, and the innings closed for 248. Wells bowled very successfully, and his analysis of five for 42 makes one think that he might have been given more work. With a balance of 75 against them, Middlesex fared so badly against Hirst when they went in the second time that, after losing six wickets for 53 in fifty minutes, they were all disposed of for 91. Hirst took nine wickets for 45, and was all but unplayable. Yorkshire lost three wickets in making the 17 necessary to win, Rothery, Wilkinson, and Bates all falling before Tarrant.

Played at Peterborough on August 12 and 13. Warwickshire won by four wickets. On a wicket rendered soft by rain, twenty-one wickets fell on the first day for 282 runs. Cox left in the second over, but Pretty hit well, and Norman, who made some good cuts, scored 32 out of 58 in an hour. The tail-end wickets, however, collapsed before Field and Moorhouse, and the innings closed for 105. Warwickshire, thanks to Charlesworth and Quaife, commenced well, the former making 34 in an hour, and the latter batting eighty-five minutes for 28. The last six wickets, however, went down for 11 runs, and a lead of only 13 was established on the innings. The wicket had improved considerably when Northants went in the second time, and by the time stumps were drawn 59 had been made for the loss of Crosse. On the following day Cox and Pretty remained together until the second wicket had put on 112 , the former then being caught at the wicket for a careful 39, which took one hundred and ten minutes to make. Pretty, hitting a dozen 4’s, obtained his excellent 78 in a couple of hours, but after his dismissal wickets fell quickly, and War­ wickshire were left only 168 to win. Santall bowled finely, and made his record for the match eight wickets for 77. The visitors lost Baker at 12 and Fishwick at 26, but good cricket by Quaife, Charles­ worth, and Lilley pulled the game round for War­ wickshire, who won by four wickets.

Played at Leyton on August 12 and 13. Essex won by an innings and 132 runs. Two interesting appearances were made in this match, Mr. Lucas again assisting Essex, and Bird, who made two separate hundreds in the Eton v. Harrow match at Lord’s, taking the place of Spooner, who was unable to play. Lancashire won the toss and fared badly against Buckenham and Douglas At 17 Hornby’s leg stump was bowled down, and at 31 Tyldesley was bowled off his pads with a ball which sent a bail forty-five yards. At the same total MacLaren was caught at the wicket and at 34 Bird was sent back without a run. When play had been in progress an hour, Sharp was the fifth to leave, at 44, and 7 later Stanning, Cook, and Dean had all been bowled. Eight wickets were then down for 51, following which a much needed stand vvas made by the two Australians, Poidevin and Kcrmode. The pair hit so finely that during the forty-five minutes they were together, they put on 72 for the ninth wicket. When the innings closed for 140, Poidevin was left to carry out his bat for 69 made out of 106 in eighty minutes : he made some fine drives and played well to the on, but was twice ! missed in the slips—by Lucas when 13 and by Fane 11 later. Had the former catch been held, nine wickets would have been down for 57. Although Buckenham suffered somewhat at the hands of the fieldsmen, he came out with the fine analysis of five for 68 . The small total was due to the fine bowling, and not to any flaw in the wicket. Essex played a good game upon going in. Douglas and Fane made 55 in half-an-hour for the first wicket, after which the former and Perrin added 21. Freeman and McGahey both failed, and at 84 Douglas, who had made some capital drives during the sixty-five minutes he was in, was fourth out for a fine innings of 55. The fifth wicket fell at 91, and then Meston, who was missed by MacLaren in the slips when only 5, and Buckenham took the score forward to 192 without further loss by the end of the day. On Tuesday the partnership continued until it had lasted two hours and produced 186 for the sixth wicket. Buckenham, on the improved pitch, hit with great vigour, and completed his 100 out of 142 in an hour and a-half : altogether he made 124 out of 193 in a hundred and twenty-five minutes, hitting two 5’s and eighteen 4’s and making no mistake. He obtained the majority of his runs by cuts and powerful off-drives. Meston played brighter cricket than on the first day, and he and Lucas played so freely that during their association of seventy-five minutes the eighth wicket benefited to the extent of 118, of which the veteran made 49. Meston, having batted three hours and twenty-five minutes for 130, was bowled at 406, having scored his 130 out 315 with only the one chance mentioned. His chief hits were a 5 and nineteen 4’s. Reeves and Russell made a useful little stand for the ninth wicket, and when the innings closed Essex could claim a lead of 298. The start of the visitors’ second innings was delayed about half an hour by rain, and only 41 had been made in forty minutes when Hornby again had his leg-stump bowled down by Buckenham. Tyldes­ ley was sent back at 70 and Bird four runs later, whilst MacLaren, after batting an hour for 41, was caught at 96. Following his dismissal, Poidevin and Sharp added 36 in forty minutes, but, after the latter had been caught, Poidevin and Cook fell to successive balls at 141, and the innings closed for 166, leaving Essex victorious by the great margin stated. Buckenham and Douglas showed splendid all-round cricket, and the spectators showed their appreciation of the former’s display by a collection of £20. Score and analysis:— L ancashire .
