Wostinholm,10, Norfolk R o w, Sheffield . O Nrelative form, Yorkshire was entitled to be considered quite the equal of any other county last year. Its unexpected defeat by three runs at the hands of Sussex caused its record to be in one way inferior to that of Notts, in that the latter only suffered one reverse , but, on analysing the doings of Yorkshire and Notts carefully , it would be difficult to adjudge any superiority . Yorkshire's double victory over Lancashire was a performance on which the county deserves to be heartily congratulated , and, indeed , throughout the season the cricket of the Yorkshire eleven was all round consistently brilliant . Hall's markedimprove- mentin batting strengthened them materially in a point where they wanted a little cohesion , and in Mr. E. Lumb, too, they found a newbatsman whose steadi- ness is sure to be of the greatest use. Harrison's extraordinary success as a fast bowler was one of the most noteworthy events of the season . H e rarely failed to prove very effective for the county and, indeed , his bowling contributed largely to the satisfactory record at the end of the season . Hunter's wicket- keeping also deserves the highest praise . The way in which he stood up to Harrison, Emmett, and Ulyett , mostly without a long-stop , was really extra- ordinary.
