The Derbyshire eleven had to follow onagain this time in a minority of 113, and in the second innings six wickets weredown for 40. W h e nMr. W. W. Evershed joined Chatterton 73 were still wanted to save the innings , with only four wickets left , but the excellent cricket of the latter (61) and the vigorous hitting of the amateur (56) entirely changedaffairs . Sussex had all the worst of the luck at the close in having tobaton a wicket very m u c hprejudiced b ythe rain, and, with only 104 to w i n, were all out for 74.
