Manchester, Aug. 9, 10, and n . I feavy rain made the wicket treacherous, and Mr. Hornby*s 88 in the first innings of Lancashire, was the only score of more than thirty during the match. Lancashire had an advantage of Ji runs on the first innings, but Armkage and Clayton were not easily to be played in the second inning s and Mr. Hornby was again the chief contributor, though this time with only 17 out of 72. Yorkshire were left with 144 to win, but good bowling and bril­ liant fielding prevented their attainment of this result, and Lancashire won, again by 35 runs. Lancashire, 215 and 72 ; total, 287.

For Sussex, Mr. M. P. Lucas, a Colt, played a very promising first innings of 35, and Charlwood added 29 towards a total of 108. Mr. Greenfield made 28out of 36 in the second innings of Sussex for the first wicket, but after him came the “ rot,” and the other nine wickets only added 32 runs, Mr. Appleby's bowling altogether demoralising the Sussex team.
