Giliingham and Johnston returned to their respective elevens for this fixture, which established a fresh record for Essex. Their previous best first wicket stand was the 209 of. Fane and Douglas v. Middlesex in 1906, and this was now beaten by Russell and Mclver, who scored 210 ere a wicket fell in 2 hours 20 minutes. Both men made their highest in first-class cricket, but Mclver was the more aggressive. Beating by 24 his 110 against Lan­ cashire in May, he reached his hundred before lunch, getting 36 of the first 50 in 43 minutes, 51 of 66 in'50 minutes and 75 of 100 in 70 minutes. Not giving any actual chance, he hit eighteen 4’s. The quieter Russell took three hours to get his faultless 102 , including nine 4’s. Freeman also made a creditable 54 without blemish, but Gillingham should have been caught by Tennyson when 16. The error proved costly, as the parson was 69* at close of play, when Essex had hit up the great score of 420 for 5. This they increased to 507 thanks mainly to Gillingham, who added himself to the century makers with a splendid 105, which included a 6 and eleven 4’s. He got his last 36 out of 49 in 40 minutes. Hants fared badly in losing 5 for only 100, after which Sprot and Stone scored 71 in 35 minutes. They followed on 317hehind. Sprot’s brilliant 64 in 80 minutes included five 4’s and 24 singles. The double failure of Philip Mead and Johnston, clean bowled each innings for a few runs, was notable. As a set-off was the double success of Sprot (64 and 51) and Tennyson (38 and 116). The poet’s grandson is a line forcing bat, who scored his first 50 in 45 minutes, and his second in 35 minutes. He had no life, hit seven­ teen 4’s and with his captain added 133 in an hour. Towards the close of Friday Buckenham bowled 3 overs for 9 runs and 3 wickets. Next day this extra­ ordinary game produced two more centuries, or six in all. With only 186 for 5 on the slate an innings defeat seemed likely, but Brown and Abercrombie now gave the most wonderful display in a match of sensations. They actually added 325 in 3^ hours, the amateur’s magnifi­ cent 165 including four 6 ’s, a 5, and eleven 4’s. To get 218 in the 100 minutes left was impossible for Essex, who still wanted" over 100 at the close, with eight men in hand. The 3 1 wickets produced 1,331 runs! E ssex .

Umi ires-—Parris and Roberts. Yorkshire v. Notts. At Dewsbury, July 24, 25, and 26. The Notts batting was bright enough, but so uneven that Lee, Iremonger, Alletson, and the two Gunns contributed 246 of 279 from the bat. Of this number G. Gunn and Lee rattled up nearly 100 before a wicket fell, in 65 minutes. Lee hit nine 4’s in his 57 made in 80 minutes, but half the side were out for 122. Then two vigorous stands by Iremonger and J. Gunn (82 in 70 minutes) and by Iremonger and Alletson (54 in half-an-hour) helped towards a respectable total. Gunn hit Rhodes twice for 6 , while Iremonger was unusually enterprising. Wilfred, who bowled the best, got out on Thursday night, when Yorkshire were 56 for 1. Wilson played a slow game, but Denton’s 55 was made of 105 in 80 minutes. Though they eventually led the Notts total—all got double figures save Haigh—they owed this to capital ninth and tenth wicket stands by Birtles (34*) helped by Haigh and White. The latter and Birtles knocked up 40 in 25 minutes. WThy was not Alletson tried with the ball? Notts cleared off the deficit without loss, but five had gone for 86 when Alletson joined George Gunn. The mighty h’itter smote Rhodes for three 6 ’s off consecutive balls, and hit another 6 and two 4’s in his 35. Saturday saw Notts’ second effort close for the addition of 48, G. Gunn carrying his bat through the innings. In his admirable 62* were four 6 ’s, and it took him 2\ hours. He made 103 in the match Set 153 to win, the Tykes lost Rhodes for a cypher and then got home comfortably by five wickets. Denton and Wilson scored 44 in as many minutes, and David was seen at his very best in making 55 and 55. TO T O U R IN G T E A M S A N D O TH E R S . U m p ir in g wanted by W.
