Nearly every man engaged in this match is or was a first-class player, and nine of the 2 4 are internationals. The first innings of each side took an ordinary course, G. G. Napier’s l>owling giving the home team a lead. The second of Mr. Robinson’s Team started with a collapse before Bosanquet and Crutchley; but Faulkner and Moon stopped the rot, and MacLaren played an innings worthy of his best days, scoring 1 4 1 . In all he batted only two hours, and he hit two 6’s and twenty 4 ’s. Bosanquet also gave U character­ istic display of free hitting. He made his 1 0 8 at practically run-a-minute pace, with a 6 (4 overthrow) and seventeen 4 ’s. The rest of the Harlequins could do little with J>ouglas, who bowled with great determination and fine stamina, and Mr. Robinson’s side won by 1 4 8 runs. In the match 9 9 4 were made. M r .

At Northampton, August 2 9 and 3 0 — no play September 1 . During 2 0 0 minutes’ play— bad light and rain shortening proceedings—Northants ran up 2 2 4 . George Thompson batted 1 4 0 minutes for his 7 0 *, gave no chance, and hit tei 4 ’s. On Saturday Warwickshire gained a first innings lead. Quaife was in 1 4 5 minutes, offering no chance till late in his innings; and Warwickshire owed much to him. Northants made runs fast on batting again. Haywood and John Denton added 5 1 in 4 0 minutes for the second wicket, and the amateur completed his 1,000 runs for the season. On Monday rain rendered a continuance impossible. Hay­ ward’s brilliant 1 0 4 * (sixteen 4 ’s) only took 1 0 5 minutes, and was quite free from chance. W. H. Denton, c Jeeves, b Foster 24 J. S.

Between that time and 5 .4 0 Sussex made 1 7 0 . This was a distinctly creditable total, seeing that 5 wickets were down for 68. Up to that point Wilson alone had done much. Jupp and Fender added 5 0 in 3 0 minutes, and then the latter sacrificed his wicket to save his partner’s. On Tuesday, Hobbs played a great game, and, after Bird (who completed his 1 ,0 0 0 runs) and Hayes had departed, Harrison helped to add 1 1 4 . Hobbs batted 1 5 5 minutes, and hit eight 4 ’s; his only chance was one in the country at 3 7 , and that could scarcely be called a bad stroke. Harrison batted over Q hours, and his rock-like defence was invaluable. Before time Sussex put up 7 8 for 2 , Wilson 3 8 *. The ex-Suffolk man carried his score to 5 3 next morning; he had played a fine innings of 6 5 min­ utes’ duration, with only one chance. The fifth wicket fell at 1 0 0 . In the event Surrey were put in to make 1 1 6 for victory— no light task. In John Hobbs lay their hope; but Albert Relf clean bowled him at 1 0 . Bird hit a 6, but got l.b.w. at 1 8 . Harrison left at 2 5 . Hayes and Donald Knight made a bit of a stand, carrying the score to 4 3 . A t the luncheon break it was 4 7 for 4 . Afterwards nobody but Goatly could do anything with Cox and Albert Relf, and Sussex won by 2 1 runs. Smith 1 4 for 1 3 4 in the match was great value; and there seems no particular reason why, if his health permits, he should not take 1 5 0 or so wickets next year.
