There was a likelihood of one time of this match falling through, Middlesex experi­ encing great difficulty in getting together a team to send north. Warner, Robertson, Littlejohn, Mann, and Haig were all unavailable. But ultimately a side was collected, G. L. Hebden, who has played before, and C. A. Saville, who has not, coming in, and Lee also being included. Yorkshire had a wholly professional side, Oldroyd and Holmes re­ placing E. R. Wilson and D. C. F. Burton. Hirst won the toss, but sent Middlesex in. Tarrant went cheaply ; but Lee, playing a stolid defensive game, and J. W. Hearne added 82. The only other stand was by the brothers 'Saville, who hit so well that they added 50 in 30 minutes, C. A. scoring two sixes, and S. H. driving Rhodes clean into the pavilion. Four of Rhodes’s 5 wickets were obtained on l.b.w. decisions. Booth hit well at the outset of Yorkshire’s innings ; Kilner made 40 in 22 minutes, hitting 2 sixes and 4 fours ; and Hirst and Denton added 62 unparted in the last hour of the day. Yorkshire were 190 for 4 at the close. On Tuesday Dention and Hirst carried their partnership figure to 75 , and Drake and Denton put on 107 in 80 minutes. Denton batted 4 hours 20 minutes in all, gave only one chance (at 70), and hit 10 fours. Middlesex had 3 down for 53 ; Kidd and Hendren then added 39 , and Hebden helped Hendren to add 102 in 90 minutes. At the close, when Middlesex were 219 for 6, Hendren was 106* He left early next morning, having made 121 without a chance in 3 hours 50 minutes. Hitting 3 sixes and 10 fours, he played a great game throughout, and, as it proved, gave his side a chance of victory. For when Yorkshire went in to get 87 to win a collapse occurred before T- W. Hearne. Forty-four had been scored before the second wicket fell, but the White Rose brigade had to struggle desper­ ately hard, and in the end only pulled through by 2 wickets.

T he R ight H onourable H enry S trutt , 2 nd B aron B elper , died at his residence, Kingston Hall, Derby, on July 26. He was bom in London, May 20, 1840 ; and was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge. As the Hon. Henry Strutt he was wicket­ keeper in the Harrow Eleven of 1859. Against Eton he scored 33 in his only innings, and in the two innings of Eton he stumped two and caught one. Proceeding to Cambridge, he played in a few of the trial matches in i860 and 1862, but did not succeed in obtaining a place in the Eleven against Oxford. Lord Belper was President of the M.C.C. in 1882, and President of the Notts C.C.C. in 1885 and 1886. Nearly fifty years ago, while travelling in Greece, he had the exciting experience of being captured by brigands and held to ransom. He succeeded to the title in 1880. S ir J o s e p i j F rancis L e e s e , K.C., died at his residence, Sutton Park Cottage, Guildford, on July 29. He was born at Manchester, February 28, 1845, and was educated abroad, at Cambridge University, where he matriculated, but went down without taking his degree, and at London University. He represented Lancashire in the first county match ever played by that shire, against Middlesex at Manchester in 1865, when he scored 33 in his first innings. Owing to the claims of his profession, Mr. Leese was unable to appear regularly in important matches, but he rendered useful service to his county on the few occa­ sions he was able to join the team. In all he appeared in 24 matches for Lancashire, between the years 1865-1877, scoring 550 runs in 43 innings (all completed). His highest scores were : 44 v. Surrey at the Oval in 1868 ; 44 v. Kent at Gravesend in 1873 ; and 43 v. Kent at Manchester in 1871. He bowled in three matches (all in 1866), taking 5 wickets for 94 runs. In 1867 he played an innings of 72 for the Gentlemen of Lancashire v. Gentlemen of Yorkshire, at Manchester ; and twenty years later, taking part in the Centenary Match at Lord’s, he was top scorer for the X V III Veterans of England v. M.C.C. with a finely hit innings of 62. Sir Joseph was knighted in 1895, and created a baronet in 1908. From 1892-1910 he was M.P. for Accrington. He was also for some time Recorder of Manchester. He left six sons, all cricketers of some note, the eldest of whom, Mr. William Hargreaves Leese, of the Winchester XI of 1886 and 1887, succeeds to the baronetcy. A. C. D.
