The wet state of the wicket prevented a start being made in this match until 10 minutes past one on Saturday. Derbyshire, going in upon winning the toss, lost Morton in the first over and Needham at 16. Humphries batted well for 100 minutes, and Cadman stayed with him whilst 52 were added. The innings closed, however, for 151—a poor total in the circumstances. Vials and Hawtin gave Northants a good start by making 88 together. The former hit eight 4’s and did not give a chance, but the latter was very lucky. At the end of the day Northants were only 45 runs behind with nine wickets in hand. On Monday Hawtin increased his score to 80, batting altogether for 165 minutes and hitting three fours. Thompson and Haywood also were seen to advantage, and the home side gained a lead of 135 on the innings. Cadman, bowling well, obtained six wickets for 80. In their second innings, Derbyshire had four men out for 74, but subsequently Chapman stayed with Morton whilst 32 were added for the fifth wicket and Forester was in whilst 57 more were put on without loss for the sixth. When play ceased with five wickets down for 163, Morton carried out his bat for 70 and Forester his for 31. On Tuesday the sixth wicket did not fall until it had put on 80 in 90 minutes. Then Forester was bowled, and 17 later Morton, whose innings was a most valuable one, was caught at slip in trying to avoid a rising ball: he batted for three hours and three-quarters without a mistake, and hit only two 4’s. After his dismissal, the end soon came, leaving Northants 97 to win. That number, thanks to Hawtin and Smith, they made for four wickets. Score and analysis:— D e r b y s h ir e .

There has been a rumour that the North­ ants and Lancashire match at Northampton next summer will be commenced on a Saturday, remarks the Athletic News , but however much this idea may have found favour in the Eastern Midlands, Lancashire are strongly opposed to Saturday starts. It may be taken for granted that the game will begin as usual—either on a Monday or a Thursday. The Finance sub-Committee of the Ad­ visory County Cricket Committee entrusted with the problem of considering the question of first-class county cricket finance came to the conclusiou, as we have already fetated, that they could not make any recommenda­ tions, for they felt that the executives of the Counties were the best judges of what was practicable. Most of the evidence given was in favour of county matches beginning on Saturdays - though not sufficient to justify the change. But Lord Hawke refused to bind his Committee to such an experiment, while Mr. H. T. Hewett stated that Somerset were strongly opposed to such an idea. Neither Kent nor Lancashire signed the report of the Finance sub-Committee. But Kent are utterly at variance with such an idea, and it is acknowle <ged that Saturday is the worst day for gates in all Kent. Lancashire, too, have not a particle of sympathy with the movement in that direc­ tion, both in the interests of their own players and of club cricket. The Lancashire captain, A. H. Hornby, is of opinion that if Saturday starts were made the rule, amateurs would so speedily withdraw from county cricket of the first-class that there would soon be none of them left, and they are a most attractive section of the players. Amateurs who appear regulaily with a county which meets all the other shires see very little of home during a summer as it is now, and with Saturday starts they would be in a worse plight than ever. But iu the general interests of club cricket we hope that such an innovation will never be introduced. Saturday is a day which provides many counter-attractions both for sportsmen and for family life. GLAMORGAN v. WILTSHIRE. and 2and left drawn.
