A big first-wicket stand marked the opening stag e of this match. Rhodes and Wilson w ere not parted till the score-board showed 180, which had taken tw o hours tw enty m inutes. H is partner w as som ewhat streaky, but W ilfred, who completed his 1000 runs, ga ve no real chance. He hit fourteen 4 ’s, and always mastered the attack . W ith D rake he put on 65 in fifty m inutes, and later H irst played sparkling cricket. The first day saw only eigh t out for 386, and it is surprising that G eary had such good figures as 5 for 86. On Friday there w ere appeals again st the light, and by lunch Leicester had eight men out for 96. Then it rained, and Riley had quite a beanfeast w ith the wet ball, scoring a century while others failed. A glan ce at the score show s how extraordinary his 'perform ance w as. He hit three 6 ’s and tw elve 4 ’s, and punished H irst for 24 in one over. Booth had the fine analysis of 7 for 65. T h e T y k es did not make their opponents follow on. Rhodes and W ilson enjoyed another first-w icket stand to the tune of 65, but then w ickets fell fast, and seven w ere down for 142. As play could not be resumed till 1.10 on Saturday, Yorks declared at that total, leaving Leicester 380 to w in. This proved hopelessly beyond them , though Wood, Whitehead-— who hurt his knee but returned to the field— Shipman, and K in g made some good hits. Y orksh ire won by 190 runs. First Innings.

Gloucestershire, who were without Jessop, owed a capital start to Dipper and Barnett, 113 going up before a man w as out. Then, how­ ever, Jeeves found a spot, and if the tail had not wagged the total would have been quite moderate. Dipper compiled a faultless 63, which included six 4’s. Jeeves’s half-dozen victims cost 94 runs. Free cricket was seen when the home side went in. Parsons and Baker, hitting finely, were un­ parted at Thursday’s close. Next day the former not only scored his first century in county matches, but carried his bat through the innings. Batting for three hours and three- quarters, his splendid 161 included exactly 100 in 4’s. Baker, who helped him to add 160 in ninety minutes, hit a 6 and eleven 4’s. OiMy eighty minutes’ play was possible after lunch, and the visitors then lost three good men for 57. Rain and bad light interfered on Saturday, but Foster and Hilditch polished off the Gloucester batsmen, of whom Dipper again was almost alone in playing good cricket. The home eleven made light of their task of 83 to win, losing only E. J. Smith and Parsons— both stumped by Smith— in getting them. First Innings. G lo u c e s te r s h ir e . Second Innings. C. S.

Umpires : Butt and Carlin. Mr. Lionel Robinson’s Team v. Cambridge University. At Old Buckenham Hall, July 3, 4, and 5. Twelve a side played. Though the home team played as Mr. Robinson’s, Michael Falcon w as really responsible for its selection, and he captained it. The feature of the first day’s play was a brilliant 86 in 70 minutes by Bosanquet, who hit three 6’s and fourteen 4’s. Randall Johnson also showed good form, but no one else reached 20, and at the close Cambridge had lost 4 wickets for 32. Cumberlege had also been damaged, and he took no further part in the match. Until Kidd came in last, handicapped by a bruised heel, no one had made any prolonged resistance to the bowling of Falcon and Pegler on Friday. The old Wellingtonian lashed out and made top score. Lagden’s 18 consisted of a 6 and three 4 ’s. Johnson and M clver sent up 75 for the first wicket of the scratch side, and Bosanquet again showed what a fine forcing
