Umpires :—Harrison and Millward, SUSSEX v. LANCASHIRE. At the Saffrons, Eastbourne, August 20, 21, and 22. On the first day John Tyldesley made his third century in the course of four matches, and he and Garnett, who rattled up his 81 in 105 minutes, added 96 for the second wicket. Sharp helped his old comrade to add 94 in an hour. Tyldesley batted 3 hours in all, gave no chance, hit 12 fours, and showed all his old skill and variety of strokes. Heap and Whitehead added 86 for the seventh wicket. Vincett bowled well, •and seems nowadays to find and keep his length much oftener than he used to do. On Friday Sussex responded gallantly. Vine and Jupp put up 68 for the first wicket, the Willingdon man batting 145 minutes <9 fours) without a chance for his 88. Tate helped Relf to add 61 for the seventh wicket, and after 9 had fallen for 320 Roberts gave the all-rounder most valuable help. They were still together with the •score 399 at close of play, and on Saturday carried it to 432—a partner­ ship of 112. The runs were made in 75 minutes, and the colt hit 7 fours. Rell’s 175, his highest of the season (and his fourth century), were made in 290 minutes with no actual chance, and he hit a six and 16 fours. A draw seemed inevitable ; but so well did Vincett and Jupp bowl that they went through the Red Rose side for 146, and Sussex were left only 87 to get to win. Missed chances helped them in their task, and though four men were out (all to Whitehead) with only 34 scored they won by 6 wickets, Bowley and Relf (both with luck) hitting off the runs then needed.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE. At Leyton, August 22, 24, and 25. The home side lacked John Douglas, who has had a touch of influenza. Saturday’s play produced 379runs. Essex lost 8 men for 211 ; then Davies and Louden added 105 in 55 minutes by batting of the brightest type. The Ilford man hit a six and 7 fours in his 64. Before call of time W. H. and A. D. Denton had sent up 63 unparted. On Monday the younger brother left at 74. W. H. left at 129, after batting 100 minutes for his 37. Smith made 54 (7 fours) in an hour. Thompson and J. S. Denton put on 95 in 75 minutes, and Wells scored 51 of 64 added during his partnership with Thompson. The England man was in nearly 3 hours for his sound and steady 81. Perrin actually took 3 wickets for 13— quite the best bowling feat of a long career in which he has not often been requisitioned for the attack. Northants had a lead of 57 ; but these were wiped off and more added before call of time, Mclver and Freeman adding 84 unparted after Fane had left at 22. Five more were added on Tuesday before Freeman left ; Mclver and Davies then added 108 in 50 minutes. The old Oxonian hit a five and 20 fours in his capital 118, made in 135 minutes. Davies continued to lay on the wood, and ran to 100 in 80 minutes before being caught at the wicket. He hit one five and 15 fours. With 9 men out for 309, Essex were only 252 ahead ; but C. H. Douglas and Tremlin added 49 for the last wicket, and Northants were set 302 to get for victory. They had 5 down for 97 ; but then Smith (who might have been out earlier, though it was a difficult chance that Mclver missed) and John Denton stayed together an hour and added 68. Then both, and Wells also, went at the same figure, and with 50 minutes still to go, 137 needed, and only two wickets to fall, Northants looked beaten. But East and Askham, the Wellingborough boy, played a great game at this critical juncture, and not only stayed to .the finish but added 62 in the time. Their side thus took first innings’ points.
