Bud weather limited play to and houi an forty minutes on Monday, during which time Northants made 72 for three wickets. Kingston made a few good drives, and Thompson and East, put on 34 without loss after the fall of the third wicket. On the following morning East was bowled without a run added, but Thompson and Wells putting on 44 for the sixth wicket and Manning and Buswell 34 for the last, the innings realised 177. In response Notts, made a good start, Gunn (G.) and Hardstaff sending 50 up without loss in forty-five minutes. In all, they made 104 together in an hour and a-half, sifter which Hardstaff and John Gunn put on 85 for tha second wicket. Hardstaff, missed by Cox at cover-point when 55, scored 113 out of 223 in three hours, hitting well all round the wicket and making a 5 and thirteen 4’s. On Wednesday the home side lost their hist five wickets for 27, and so could claim a lead of only 80 on the innings. Northants fared badly upon going in the second time, and at lunch­ time" had six wickets down for 04. The last four went down for 41, and Notts, left with 50 to get, won by ten wickets.

D E R B Y SH IR E v. LAN CA SH IRE . Played at G lossop on A ugust 10 , 11 , and 12 . Drawn. Derbyshire lacked the services of Wright, and Lancashire of Brearley and MacLaren ; so neither side was at full strength. The wicket was soft after rain, and did not assist the attack to any extent. Cadman and Needham accordingly forced the game, and in seventy minutes made 77 ere a wicket fell. Morton did nothing, and when play ceased for the day two wickets were down for 82; Play could not be resumed on Tuesday until a quarter to one, and then only 3 runs had been added before there was another downpour. Cadman and Sale put on 33 for the fourth wicket ere the latter was caught at the w icket; but of the others only Lawton and Taylor reached double figures, the outstanding eight wickets going down for 88 runs. Lancashire's first wicket realised 47 in half-an-hour, after which Tyldesley batted attractively for 21. When stumps were drawn two wickets were down for 105. Yeeterday, Bracey and Warren bowled with such effect that Lancashire could claim a lead of only 25 on the innings. Runs were very hard to get, and Dean and Huddleston carried all before them, disposing of the home side for 90. Lancashire, set only 66 to win, lost three wickets for 11. The fifth fell at 40 andjthe eighth at 47, and when stumps were dra* n Lancashire, with one wicket in hand, required two urns to win. Score and analysis:— D e r b y sh ir e . First innings.

W orcestershire won by an innings and 108 runs. Buslier, who had played at the Oval earlier in the season for Surrey against the Gentlemen of England, here made his first appearance for Worcestershire. On Monday morning the wicket, after rain, assisted the attack to a certain extent, but that cannot be held altogether accountable for Gloucestershire's poor total. Board was badly run out at 4, and half the side were out for 37. Jessop and Roberts put on 21, and Dennett carried out his bat for 16, but the innings was all over in a couple of hours for 100. Arnold took six wickets for less than nine runs each. Worcestershire lost Pearson in the first over, whilst at 49 Bowley was bowled. Then the Fosters came together, and, mastering the att ick, added 94 without being separated in fifty-five minutes, the total when play ceased being 143 for two wickets. On the second morning the brothers remained together until they had put ou 108 for the third wicket in ninety minutes. “ G. N.” batted an hour- and-a-half for 08, in which were nine 4's, whilst “ H. K .”, who batted fifty minutes longer for 71, hit ten 4’8. Arnold and Burns put on 82 for the fifth wicket, and the latter and Simpson-Hayward the same number for the sixth. Burns, who was missed at the wicket when 11, batted two-hours-and a-half for 120, and hit eighteen 4’s. Simpson-Hayward and Burrows contributed useful scores, and even­ tually the innings closed for 427. When they went in the second time, Gloucestershire, after Board and Langdon had given the side a good start, lost seven wickets in three hours for 191, and it is worthy of mention that Jessop^was so tucked-up by the lobs of Simpson-Hayward that he batted forty minutes for 28. Yesterday’8 play lasted only a trifle over half-an-hour, Worcestershire winning very easily. Score and analysis:— G lou cestersh ire . First innings. Second innings. L. D.

M ID D L E S E X . Played at Bradford on August 10 , 11 , and 12 . Drawn. Rain commenced to fall at ten o’clock on Monday morning, and, in consequence the start was delayed until a quarter to three. Bosanquet was absent from the Middlesex side, whilst Watson kept wicket instead of Hunter, whose bunds were damaged. The wicket assisted the bowlers a little, and Yorkshire did by no means badly in scoring 203 for six wickets in three hours and a-quarter. Rhodes and Hardisty made 54 for the first partnership, but Hearne, going on at 44, took four wickets for 11 runs. Rothery helped Hirst to add 56, and at the end of the day Bates was in whilst a further 56 wer6 put on with­ out loss. Hirst was also at his best, his pulling and driving being very clean and vigorous. In all the seventh wicket put on 89 fn ’seventy minutes before Hirst, in trying to make his hundred, was caught from a skyer behind the w icket: he made some capital strokes to leg and drove with great power, his chief strokes being a 6 and fifteen 4’s. Bates batted just over a couple of hours for his very useful 44, and the innings closed for 279. Hearne’s bowling was worthy of his best day, and he thoroughly deserved liis analysis. Before Middlesex could start, there was another downpour of rain, but it did not cause serious delay. Against Rhodes and Hirst runs proved so difficult to make that half the side were disposed of for 72. Page then hit up 19 out of 35 in twenty minutes, and Trott seconded him admirably by scoring 28 in half-an- hour. Harrison batted admirably for seventy minutes without a mistake, but at the end of the day nine wickets Were down for 158. On Wednesday, Middlesex were 115 behind when their wicket fell, and Yorkshire upon going in again quickly increased their lead. Rhoaes and Hardisty made 56 for the first wicket in forty minutes, and after the former had been dismissed, Denton, who reached 50 out of 70 in fifty minutes, helped to add a further 97 with­ out loss in an hour-and-a-quarter. The innings was then declared closed, leaving Middlesex 269 to win in two hours and twenty minutes. Moon left with the score unopened, but Warner and Douglas batting freely made 50 in half-an-hour, and in all put ou 72
