Marshal was injured early in his innings and was obliged to retire temporarily. Hayward (67 and 50) and Hobbs (54 and 102) made 105 for tbe first wicket in the first innings and 118 for the first wicket in the second for Surrey v. Oxford University, at the Oval. The nest time they opened an innings together—against Warwickshire on the same ground—they scored 104 in partner­ ship, Hayward making 69 and Hobbs 63. Hardinge (153 and 126) and S. H. Day (79 and 53) added over 100 iuns for the tbird wicket in each innings of Kent v. Essex, at Leyton, their partnerships realising 126 and 105. One of Ihe most curious stands of the year was lhat in which G. L. Jessop (164) and Huggins added as many as 176 for the fifth wicket of Gloucestershire v. Sussex, at Gloucester; to such an ex'ent did the former monopolize the run-getting that Huggins’ final score was only 29. Another remaik- able paitnership was that of Cox, G. (81) and Butt (74 not out) which resulted in as many as 156 being added for the tenth wicket of Sussex against Cambridge University at Fenner’s. The feat of carrying the bat through a completed innings was performed on eight occasions:— 65 Kinneir, Warwickshire v. Somerset, at Taunton. 61 Knight, Leicestershire v. Notts, at Nottingham. 58 Needham, Derbyshire v. Surrey, at Derby. 107 Needham, Derbyshire v. Essex, at Leyton. 48 Tarrant, M.C.C. and Ground v. Oxford University, at Oxford. 64 P. F.

Warner appear twice in the above list. Of the 183 individual scores of ICO or more obtained during the season Hobbs and Tyldesley (J. T.) made six each, Hayward, Marshal, Tarrant, and P. F. Warner five, and Bev. F. H. Gillingham, G. L. Jessop, and P. B. Johnson four. Whitehead, of Lancashire, who would seem to have a great future before him, had the distinction of playing a three-figure innings (131 not out) on his first appearance for his county, whilst eight batsmen made as many as 200 runs in an innings :— 243 Tyldesley (J. T.), Lancashire v. Leicestershire, at Leicester. 232 J. N. Crawford, Surrey v. Somerset, at the Oval. 230 C. P. McGahey, Essex v. Northants, at North­ ampton. 228 T. Bowring, Oxford University v.
