SPEC IAL TERM S TO SCHOOLS, CLUBS <S>c., &-c. • DERBYSHIRE v. SOMERSET. At Chesterfield, June 27 and 29. Derbyshire lacked Curgenven, injured, and the visitors were short of several of their best, though they had the help of White, who had not been able to play against Northants. The pitch looked perfect ; but all through the match there was a diffi­ culty in getting runs which argued deceptive appearances. The best stand in Derbyshire’s first was one of 80 by Morton and Bowden. White, changing ends after he had had 50 scored off him without success, took the last 5 wickets for 11 runs. Somerset lost 4 for 58 ; but the brothers Poyntz carried the score to 96 ; and in the last quarter of an hour Hope hit out vigorously, making 40*. On Monday he carried his score to 65, his best for the county to date. Three sixes and 6 fours were included, and the runs were made in 45 minutes. Robson helped him to add 70 ; but despite their efforts Somerset were 21 runs behind on the first innings. In Derbyshire’s second Chapman and Morton added 65 ; but again there was a slump, the last 5 wickets only yielding 31. Set 255 to win, Somerset collapsed sensationally. They could do nothing with Forester and Horsley—the last-named looks like being useful to the Peak County—only Robson making any stay. Play was continued for a quarter of an hour to allow of a finish on the second evening, and Derbyshire won by 167 runs. D e r b y s h i r e . First Innings. L.

F ir s t I n n in g s :—White, 34-3-12-61-5 ; Robson, 19-2-51-1 ; Bridges, 13-3-41-2 ; A . D. E. Rippon, 13-1-32-2. Bridges 4 wides, Rippon 2. O n e is pleased to be reminded that the Brixton C.C. celebrate their jubilee this year. As is well-known, the feature of their season is the tour. This starts on August 1 with a match v. Horsmonden, followed by games with Cranbrook, Benenden, Rolvenden, and Tenterden Park, the last-named being a two-day fixture. Playing against Tenterden Park in 1911 W. T. Davies compiled the highest individual score ever made for Brixton, 243 not out. Six years ago A. J. Trollope took over the secretarial duties after W. Dennis resigned with twenty-five years of good work to his credit. The club is fortunate in having as president Mr. George Harnett, known to everyone in the Rugby world as a fine sportsman.
