Yorkshire (return). Sheffield, August 9, 10, and 11. Both counties were well represented, but the ground was in a state that made batting a mere chance. Yorkshire had an advantage of 20 runs on the lirst innings, and Middlesex were dismissed for G1 runs, in the second Mr. Dale (13), and Mr. A. J. Webbe alone reaching double figures. For York­ shire, Ulyett was chief contributor in the first innings with 40, and Mr. Sims in the second with 35 not out. Mr. W. H. Hadow was the hero of the Middlesex eleven, both with bat and ball, scoring 58 runs in the first innings, and in the match bowling 12 wickets for 120 runs. Yorkshire won by 52 runs.

Mr. Buller was the only one of the southern batsmen able to withstand the Nottingham bowling, and his 51— a moiety of the whole score— was a masterly innings, equal if not mperior, in style to any e\er played on the Trent-bridge Ground. Seven of the Middlesex eleven between them made 21 runs, while the northeners all scored fairly, and seven of them secured double figures, the highest of which were M'lntyre’ s 35, and the 27 of Reynolds. Notts in all reached 162 runs, a very good score considering the ground—and Middlesex fared so badly against the bowling of Shaw' and Morley in their second attempt that they w*re unable to save the innings. Mr. J. W . Dale of the total of 59 contri­ buted 21__the only double figure—and, in evidence of the difficulty of run
