Played at Nottingham on May 31, June 1 & 2. Notts won by an innings and 170 runs. About 12,000 persons witnessed the play on Mon­ day in this match, when Notts, made 354 for seven wickets. The Surrey men had only themselves to blame for being kept in the field all day, for Jones was missed three times in making 11 and Iremonger was let off when 16. Three of the blunders were at the expense of Rushby. The pair made 76 for the first wicket in an hour, and Iremonger and George Gunn 137 for the second in two hours. The last- named played a very attractive innings, his off- driving being especially good : he hit ten 4’s. Iremonger was very slow during the latter part of his stay at the w icket: he made his 91 out of 260 in four hours, and scored only 33 during the last two hours he was in. He hit eight 4’s and was caught off a full-pitch. Both Payton and Alletson hit well and put on 57 together for the sixth wicket in half-an hour. At the end of the day Payton carried out his bat for 52, made in SO minutes. There was light rain on Tuesday morning, and the game could not be continued until half-past one. Hallam and Riley left in the same over, at 362, and then Wass and Payton made so fine a resistance that they put on S4 without being parted before the innings was declared closed. Payton carried out his bat for 101, made in three hours without a chance: cutting well and making good strokes to leg, he hit eleven 4’s and four 3’s. Surrey lost Hobbs at 8, and Hayward and Hayes had taken the total to 37 when bad light caused stumps to be drawn. On Wednesday, after very heavy rain, m ns took a lot of getting and only Hayward and Crawford met with much success against Wass and Riley. The last named took six wickets for 27, the last seven wickets going down for 34. In the follow-on Hayward was seen at his best, but, although he had the personal satisfaction of making a hundred, he could not save the side from a crush­ ing defeat. Wass again bowled with great effect, and had a great share in the Notts, triumph. It will be seen that Geo. Gunn, fielding at slip, made live catches in Surrey’s first innings.

To the disappointment of the 12,000 persons present, rain permitted only two and three- quarters hours’ play on Monday, during which time Yorkshire lost eight wickets for 103 runs. Brearley, though not well suited by the soft wicket, proved very effective. Denton played the best cricket of the day, and made his 48 out of 64 in 85 minutes : with Hirst, the only other i)layer to reach double figures, he put on 38 for the fourth wicket in 45 minutes. On Friday nearly 10,000 were present when the play was resumed. The last two wickets added 20, Haigh hitting freely and carrying out his bat for 19. Brcarley bowled in his best form : he was unchanged through the innings, and took nine wickets for 80 runs. Lancashire lost MacLaren at 14 and Tyldesley, bowled off his elbow, at 34. Hartley and Sharp added 22, and at lunch four wickets were down for 59. After the interval Haigh did the hat-trick, and Yorkshire were left with a lead of 44. Haigh’s seven wickets cost only 25 runs—a splendid performance against such a side. He disposed of Hartley and Hornby with consecutive balls, and dismissed Heap, Brearley, atid Worsley with the last three he sent down. At the end of the day Yorkshire lost four wickets for 44 before bad light stopped play. Yesterday Huddles­ ton was irresistible and took five wickets for 9 runs : his analysis for the innings, which closed for 78, was eight for 24. Left with 128 to win, Lancashire made a sensational start, half the side being out for 6. Hornby hit four 4’s in his 18, and was sixth out, at 28. Of the others only Heap reached double figures, leaving Yorkshire successful by the margin stated. Score and analysis:— Y o r k s h ir e . L a n ca s h ire . First innings. A. C.

SO I) T H E tk MCC 55 B A T NO OTHER BAT IS GOOD ENOUGH for the man who has ones used the " M.C.C.” The experienced cricketer need only handle this popular bat for a moment to know that it represents a quality in bat manufacture which is m&ny stages nearer perfection than anything hitherto attained. To the man who really knows how to handle a bat, there is SOMETHING FASCINATING IN THE WAY IT RESPONDS TO HIS SLIGHTEST ACTION Built mainly of specially selected Sarawak Cane, the handle is made on a new and entirely successful principle. The utmost driving power is obtained with a total absence of stinging, and it is absolutely im­ possible for this handle to become " sprung.” The blades are carefully selected from the choicest close bark English Willow, well seasoned and - hand-hammered throughout. 21 / - Sole Patentees and Manufacturers — T H E M.
