Although their record for 1910 did not approach that for 1907, when they passed through the season without a reverse, Nottinghamshire will have some reason to look back upon their doings during the present year with some satisfaction. Of the thirteen matches finished they won nine, and they had the best of the drawn games at Trent Bridge with Yorkshire and Northants. Not once were they defeated at home, and they won both their matches against Leicestershire and Essex. At the Oval they were beaten by the weather, rain ruining the wicket after Surrey had run up a good score, while Lancashire, set 400 to win at Man­ chester, scored 403 for eight wickets, establishing a record which they themselves surpassed later in the season against Hamp­ shire. Hallam, after taking part in four matches, dropped out of the side, but James Iremonger howled capitally and headed the averages: he, Wass and Riley (who was rather expensive) did the greater part of the •bowling. Wass performed better than in the previous year, both as regards aggregate of wickets and average, but Gunn (J.) was seldom called upon though perusal of the score-sheet leads one to think that his services might have been utilised more frequently. The side, without beiDg par­ ticularly strong in batting, generally performed quite creditably. A. O. Jones, who led the team skilfully and always fielded brilliantly, headed the averages with 33'39 for 1102 runs, but Iremonger (J.) fell from first place to sixth. Both Gunn (J.) and Payton had better figures than in 1909, and Gunn (G.), who came out fourth in the averages, did so badly for some time that he was dropped for the match with Middlesex at Lord’s in which a place was found for the old Etonian, Pearson-Gregory.

Hampshire have experienced a highly suc­ cessful season, winning more matches than in any previous year. They beat Derbyshire, Somerset and Gloucestershire twice, and also defeated Northamptonshire, Warwickshire, Surrey and Worcestershire. After a fair beginning, the side did so badly that they experienced six defeats in succession, but afterwards they pulled themselves together with the result they were able to set ten victories against the same number of reverses. Llewellyn was a tower of strength to the side, for in Championship matches alone he scored 1,110 runs with an average of 29'21 and obtained 133 wickets at a cost of 20'45 runs each. It is quite likely that he will not be seen in the Hampshire team again, as he has decided to visit Australia this winter as a member of the South African team, but it is understood that the question as to whether or not his disqualification shall be enforced will be considered at Lord’s. Newman, as a bowler, enjoyed a great triumph, making a very great advance indeed upon his doings in 1909, when he took eighty wickets for 22 runs each. The brunt of the attack was borne by him and Llewellyn, and the pair performed splendidly, taking '289 wickets between them. Another bowler of high-class, however, was badly needed to render them proper assis­ tance. Too much depended on the eiforts of the two, though McDonell, Brown and Kennedy bowled well at times. A. C. Johns­ ton carried off the batting honours of the year, making 1158 runs and deservedly head­ ing the averages with 36-18. Mead, though d oiD g well, was rather disappointing; Capt. Greig did very well on occasions, arid Brown improved upon his record of the previous year. The fielding of tbe side was always good, and generally brilliant, the bowlers receiving every assistance. The team were again led by E. M. Sprot and, always playing good, sporting cricket, were very popular. BATTIN G AVERAGES. Tim es M ost Inns. N ot in an out. inns. Total Runs. Aver. A. C.

SUSSEX. For the second year in succession Sussex had a very good season. They won three more matches than in 1909, when, led by C. L. A. Smith, as many as ten of their
