In the match at Lord’s on July 19 seven wickets fell while Haygarth was at the crease scoring 2 runs. Haygarth did not bat in the Gentlemen’s second innings at Lord’s on July 1-3 as he was taken ill. His first innings for the Single on August 9-11 lasted nearly three hours. He was for the third time fourth in the national batting averages behind F.H.Norman, F.P.Miller and George Parr. His four matches outside the first-class games, which included his only match for the Old Harrovians, were not successful and these only yielded a further 29 runs and reduced his best ever season’s average to 16.00.
