It was a distinct compliment to the Minor County champions that the President of the M.C.C. should have led the team against them ; but the team itself m ight well have been stronger. Norfolk lacked Geoffrey Stevens and R. F. Popham. The great feature of the day was Fulcher’s hard-hit century, marred only by one chance (quite early, however), and including 13 fours. Pedder and Hudson each helped him to put on over 80 runs, for the fifth and seventh wickets respectively. Mignon was the only bowler to m eet with success. A t call of time M.C.C. had 52 on the board without loss. M clver carried, his 27* to 59 on Saturday, and Cuthbertson m ade 46 ; but the rest could do little with Falcon and Falconer. N orfolk declared their second innings, and sent M.C.C. in to get 198 to win ; but M clver again batted well, and on paper the premier club’s team had the best of the draw. N o r f o l k .

W O R C E S T E R S H IR E v. SU SSE X . A t W orcester, June 6, 8, and 9. The home side substituted Simpson- H ayw ard, Collier, and Cuffe for B. G. Stevens, N. J. A . Foster, and Conway. Sussex had full strength. Vine and W ilson were soon out, and Robert Relf should have been, for he was dropped at 16 from quite an easy catch. He did not start too well, apart from this, and up to the luncheon interval a long score scarcely seemed likely, though no further w icket fell. B ut when the game was resumed R elf and Jupp fairly took charge of the bowling, and in spite of good fielding put on runs apace. In all they added 194 in 145 minutes. Relf batted 185 m inutes for his 130, the last hundred or so m ade in quite his best form, hit a five and 13 fours, and gave only the one chance mentioned. Jupp took 170 m inutes to reach 100. He and Albert Relf added 103 in an hour. W ith Chaplin in runs came even faster, and the last hour saw 113 registered, the score at the close being 452 for 4. Jupp and Chaplin could not be parted on Monday, and after the young professional had passed 200 and his captain had reached 100 the innings was declared. The pair had added 187. Jupp batted 5 hrs. 40 mins. for his very fine innings of 217*. He gave no chance, and hit one six and 28 fours. Many of his runs came from a shot between point and cover. Chaplin batted 2 hrs., hit 9 fours, and gave no chance. When the home side went in B ow ley left e a r ly ; but afterwards a stout resistance was put up. Pearson and Cliff added n o , and after the fall of the fifth wicket Chester and Collier added 72 unparted. Pearson batted quite in his best form, and hit 8 fours, and Chester also made his highest score of the season to date. No p lay was possible on Tuesday owing to rain, the m atch thus proving the first of the season to provide no result even on the first innings. Burrow s’s analysis must be almost unique ; but he, like his comrades, stuck well to a thankless task, and the side emerged from the m atch with credit. H. L.

W ilkinson was still unable to play, and Sandham was brought in vice Harrison, his form in the tw o second eleven m atches to date having been of undeniable class. Essex lacked M clver, D avies, and Louden. They started badly, losing 3 for 5— Russell first ball. B ut for a m istake (or tw o mistakes) in the slips G illingham would have been out at 5 also ; bu t he and Fane added 40. F ive were down for 45, however, and if Douglas had gone cheaply the innings would, in all likelihood, soon have closed. B ut Douglas had no m ind to go cheaply. No tem ptation had any power to swerve him a hair’s-breadth from the tenor of his w ay. The crowd failed to appreciate his tactics, but he was playing the game for his side. Most of his runs came from leg-glances, executed with perfect safety and much skill. Turner scored faster, and m ade 47 of the 84 added for the sixth w icket. Reeves helped his captain to put on 62 for the eighth, and the total was the serviceable one of 264. Douglas batted 3$ hours for his 74*. A t call of time Surrey were 42 for 1, and had lost Hobbs. On M onday the wicket had been softened by ra in ; but there was so little sunshine th at it never became difficult. E xcept for Goatly, who was m ainly responsible for saving the follow-on, the Surrey batting was feeble against some fine bowling by Douglas, well aided b y Trem lin, and fielding which m ade people rub their eyes and ask whether this was really the Essex side in the field ? W hen the visitors batted again Carpenter quickly m ade 30, and Russell and Gillingham added 50 for the second wicket. Perrin and Gillingham , the overnight not outs, batted in great style on Tuesday, adding 82 in the first hour, and 171 in all during their tw o hours’ partnership. The innings was declared at lunch, when Gilling­ ham was 121*, made in 165 minutes, and including one 5 and 14 fours. Surrey failed com pletely before the attack of Douglas and Trem lin, only H itch doing anything, and Essex won a splendid victory b y 323 runs. Douglas and Trem lin bowled unchanged through both innings of Surrey, and the Essex fielding was excellent. E 8 T A B W S H E D O Y B R 1 0 0 * E.C. DEVEREUX 2«7 tw T ndso R ETON, BUCKS.
