Players of the North. May 18, 19, and 20. A strong batting eleven of amateurs of the South against nine Yorkshire - men, with Carpenter and Barlow. This was in reality the character of the match, as Alfred Shaw, Mycroft, and Morley, were playing against Cambridge University for the Marylebone Club, Daft and Oscroft were absentees, Nottinghamshire was not represented, and William Me Intyre, of Lancashire, one of the very best professional howlers in England, yvas not deemed good enough, even for a weak eleven of the Players of the North. The first innings of the Players produced three double figures, (Clayton, 26 ; Hicks, 16; and Carpenter, 10) ; and the total was only 91, Barlow having been in an hour for 8 runs. The amateurs, with all their batting strength, made even a worse show, as Hill and Emmett were quite at home on a rather rough wicket, and the score was only 59, Mr. W. li. Gilbert, being the chief contributor with 13. Lockwood made 40 in the second innings of the Players, and Finder and Hill, by good hitting, added 36 runs for the last wicket, so that there was a fairly good aggregate of 140. To win, the Gentlemen wanted 173, but this time Mr. W. G. Grace was in form, and the edge of what bowling there was on the side of the Players was soon removed. Mr. Grace made 51 of the first 6G runs, and in all scored 72 by fast cricket. The Gentlemen won on their merits by six wickets. Gentlemen, 59 and 173 (four wickets) ; total, 232. Players, 91 and 140 ; total, 231. (2) Yorkshire v. Middlesex. May 25, 26, and 27. The first County match of the London season, and one not attended by weather at all cheerful. A very bad light on the first day greeted the opening venture of Middlesex, and a wet wicket that of Yorkshire on the
