Cunliffe bowled with great success ; and a young professional -one Wootton--who bowls fast left -hand round with a rather high delivery , proved a very useful addition to the eleven , doing a particularly good performance against Englandat Canterbury. Lancashire twice defeated Kent; but the eleven beat Sussex twice , and Yorkshire , Surrey , and Derbyshire in turn , so that on the whole the season was a very satisfactory one.
