On si wicket which appealed to have no defect as many as 19 wickets fell on Monday for 347 runs. The scoring- on both sides was uneven, and it was left to Dennett and Fairservice to ' carry off the honours of the day. Gloucestershire's first four wickets went down for 16, and, although Jessop made 43 in 28 minutes, hitting eignt 4’s, seven men were out for 71. Board made 32 out of 84_ in an hour and, by fault.ess or.cket, .Dennett, who hit five 4’s, scored 56 in 70 minutes, the result being' that the total reached 158, before the last wicket fe:l. Fair.ervice did capital work with the ball, and deserved his success. Kent t lost Hardinge and Seymour in Parker-s first over without a run scored, and, notwithstanding that Dillon and Marshami put on: 44 in an hour, the total was but 97 upon the fall of the eighth wicket. Huish and Fairservice then 'pwt on 40 in*a= many minutes and the latter and Blythe 52 with­ out being separated, the total . when stumps werq dra/.vn .being- 189 for nine wickets, with Fairserjri.ee not out 55. Only 4 were added next day.before the innings closed by Parker bowl­ ing Fairserivge. In the second innings of Glou­ cestershire Godsell and Salter made 22 for the first wicket qnd tho latter and Langdon the same number for the second. Ten later Jessop, as in the first innings, played a ball from F air­ service on to his wicket, and immediately after­ wards Salter was out for an excellent 31. Of the others only Parker reached double figures, the innings closing for 131—a singularly small score considering that the wicket was true. Kent, set 97 to win, experienced no difficulty in making the runs, although they lost the wickets of Hardinge and Seymour in the task. Score &nd an alysis:— G i . o u c ’ ste r sh ib e .

D E R B Y SH IR E . Played at Leeds on July 27, 28 and 29. Yorkshire won by an innings and 13 1 rur.s. Neither Lawton nor Cadman was able to play for Derbyshire, the former owing to business and the latter on account of an injury. Batting first, the visitors gave a dreary display, taking three hours and three-quarters to make 127. They lost Needham and Wright for 15 and owed much to Morton, who added 35 with Oliver in 40 minutes and 43 with Humphries in 85. Mor­ ton made his 42 out of 88 in two hours and three-quarters, being seventh out, at 113. Dur­ ing the innings Wilson, in endeavouring to make a catch at slip, dislocated a finger and was obliged to retire from the game. Newstead bowled very successfully, his six wickets costing only a fraction over seven runs- each. Yorkshire lo.t Rhodes at 5, but Hardisty and Denton pul on 68 for the second wicket in 50 minutes, the latter, when play ceased for the day with two viek?ts down for 98 (made in 80 minutes), carrying out his bat for 54. Oil Tuesday Denton made only 5 more, whilst Hirst was caught at slip when he had scored 16, the fourth wicket, falling at 134. Wilkinson and Wilson then came together, and it was not until 97 had been added that the former was out for an innings of 79, which lasted two hours and three-quarters and contained nine 4’s ; he was missed when 22, but made no other mistake. \\rils.on had the satis­ faction of compiling his first hundred for the County, but he was missed three times—when 4, 24 and 66. He made many good strokes all round the wicket, and hit a dozen 4’s, and, con­ sidering that he was handicapped by a damaged finger, his display miult be regarded as a meritorious one. Newstead also did well and, with Wilson, put on 109 for the sixth wicket in an hour and a-quarter. With 3U4 on the board for eight wickets the innings was closed, and in the hour remaining the visitors lost three good wickets for 36 runs. On Wednesday only Humphries and Rickn.an made any stand, the former batting really well for 125 minutes and the latter making 35 in 40 minutes. Yorkshire won by an innings and 131 runs.

Lancashire lacked the services of MacLaren, Hornby, and Poidevin, whilst Essex tried a new man in Lashbrooke, who had been bowling well (sLow left-hand) in Yorkshire Council matches with the Bowling Old Lane Club. The wicket assisted the bowlers somewhat, and on the opening day 14 wickets fell for 294 runs. Hartley and Spooner made 85 together in under an hour and a-half, but the good start was not followed-up, the fifth wicket going down at 140. Macleod and Makepeace added 55 in 45 minutes, the former, in tho course of his bright innings, smashing a window in the refreshment room. The last four wickets went down for 27, Make­ peace being last out after batting 80 minutes for 34. The innings lasted three hours and a- lialf and realised 222. In the last 110 minutes of the day Essex, in a poor light, made 72 for four wickets. T,he first two wickets went down for 31 and the third, McGahey’s, eleven later. Perrin was in an hour and a-quarter for 17, batting very steadily The next morning, although the wicket was easy, the remaining six wickets fell in an hour for 63 runs, Brearley taking five of them for 33. In this way Lan­ cashire obtained a lead of 87 on the innings. When they went in the second time the home side lost Hartley at 4. Tyldesley and Spooner, however, indulged in a partnership of 55 for the second wicket, during which the former com­ pleted his thousand runs for the Season. The feature of the innings, however, was the batt­ ing of Sharp, who made 1 11 out of 214 in two hours and three-quarters; he gave only one chance, and hit fourteen 4’s. Whitehead played vigorously, and, hitting nine 4’s, claimed 56 of the 89 added in 50 minutes for the fourth wicket. The innings was declared closed with nine wickets down, and Essex, set 395 to win, made 33 for the loss of Douglas in the last 35 min­ utes of the day Yesterday Brearley bowled in his best form, and only Reeves, who batted extremely well for 110 minutes, made any re­ sistance. The innings of the side needs no detailed comment. Score and analysis:— L an cash ire . First innings. A. Hartley, b Mead... Second innings. 52 c Russell,b Doug­ las ............... A. F.
