There were new faces in both team s ; but each was led b y its old captain. One doubts whether the members of the respective clubs recognise sufficiently the debt of gratitude th ey owe to Messrs. Frank and R u tty for their unselfish devotion to the interests of the second elevens of their counties. Yorkshire ran up a good score to start with, and Surrey, except for two men, failed. These tw o were Sandham , who played right through the innings, and Sullivan, who helped him to add 67 runs— nearly half the total — for the ninth wicket. On Tuesday Yorkshire again made runs with ease, and the home side were set 358 to win— with only 3 hours to go. T h ey could not quite manage to stave off defeat, though Sandman and Mason looked like pulling them out of the hole, and Yorkshire won, with only 10 minutes to spare, by 118 runs. In E. Sm ith the northern county seem to have found.a useful left-hand bow ler; but so m any useful left-handers have turned out ultim ately to be 110 more than useful— which is not enough— that one awaits his further trial before playing prophet.

The Peram bulators were all Eton, Harrow, W inchester, and W estm inster men. Their first innings was disappointing, for after having over a hundred up before the third wicket fell they were all out for 186. Hum frey, the old Oakham captain, who has distinguished himself under the carrying code during the winter, took the last 3 wickets in 4 balls. Gunasekara, who also bowled effectively, hails from Ceylon. The Etceteras had 5 wickets down for 92 ; but Arnold and Naumann, not out on M onday night, could not be separated on Tuesday till they had added 208 in all. The wicket-keeper gave a couple of chances, but hit 16 fours, and again showed what big strides he has lately made in the batsm an’s art. The two successful bowlers in the Peram bulators’ first innings again did well, and the only batsm an wrho got going was Heaton, who played a forceful innings of 81 (14 fours) in as m any minutes. Etceteras won by an innings and 10 runs. P e r a m b u l a t o r s . First Innings. Second Innings. G. W. V. Hopley, c Morrison, b Gunasekara 0 c Garrett, b H um frey 2 L. C.

T h e r e wras some h eavy scoring in the m atch at the Oval.betw een the Surrey C. & G. and the W anderers on May 27. The C. & G. declared at 380 for 3— Sandham 127*, Peach 109, Myers 83 ; and the Wanderers made 261 for 6— F. S. Gillespie 137. Nine wickets thus realised 641 runs. I. H. A. Tolkien, the Ealing big scorer, played for the W anderers, and C. R. Brow-ne, the Clapham Ramblers’ W est Indian crack, who is expected to return home shortly, for the C. & G. W . E. P a r k e , who last year distinguished himself by scoring a couple of centuries in the M.C.C. v. Dorset m atch at Lord’s, made 135 in a total of 210 for Lichfield Garrison v. Shropshire Gentlemen on May 25 and 26. W a r w ic k s h ir e C. & G. could only m ake 116 v. N otts C. & G. at Edgbaston on May 27, and R. E. H em ingway (64) and W alker (60) hit off the runs needed for victory w ithout being separated. Richmond (6 for 52) bowled effectively for the winners. T h e r e is a third Naum ann (C. C.) in the Malvern College X I, and among the rest is H am atsinhji, whom one takes to be one of the young relatives of Prince Ranjitsinhji. K E N T v. L E IC E S T E R S H IR E . A t Catford, May 28, 29, and 30. Hum phreys had to take a rest, owing to a hurt elbow', and Sarel and Freeman also stood down, A. P. D ay, Jennings, and Fielder coming in. The visitors played the stalw art F. M. Joyce vice H. W right. T h ey were at the w ickets the greater part of the day, and their innings was curioilsly similar to that of W arwickshire a mile or tw’o aw ay. As at the Oval, one man was head and shoulders above the rest, W hitehead batting 3J hours for his 97 without an actual chance, and hitting 2 sixes and 9 fours. Coe helped him to add 88 for the fifth w-icket. In an hour’s cricket at the end D ay and Hardinge, unparted, put up 76 for Kent. The light was terribly bad in the morning, and gas was burning in the pavilion ! After 40 m inutes’ play, with the total 130 for o, there was an adjournment (to the gaslight), and when p lay wras resumed Hardinge was soon out, having made 59 (9 fours) of the 139 put up for the first wicket. Seym our did not stay long. A t lunch D ay needed 6 for his century. He was out soon after reaching three figures, having made 108 out of 234 in 3 hours, with 14 fours, and only one chance, at 59. He drove very finely ; but, well as he played, W oolley outshone him. The tall left-hander made his 147 in 125 m inutes, hitting a couple of sixes and 18 fours, and giving only one actual chance, though naturally he made a few’ risky hits in forcing the pace. He and Hubble adddd 145 in 80 m inutes together, and before the innings w-as declared Hubble and Troughton put on 72 in half-an-hour. H ubble gave no chance, batted 150 minutes, and hit 15 fours. W hile W oolley was in he played a restrained game, but afterwards he let himself go and scored fast. Before call of time Leicestershire had lost W hitehead writh only 26 scored. On Saturday they fought hard. Mounteney stayed till 66 ; then W ood and King added 74, and King and Sharp 72. A t 3.30 bad light caused a stoppage, and it was never found possible to resume, iK ent thus gaining only first innings’ points.
