TheYorkshire Eleven , though opposed by a strong team of M.C.C. and Ground, hadall the best of the drawn game. Rain considerably interfered with the play on the first day, and in winning the toss Yorkshire had all the best of the wicket. Despite the soft ground, though , some excellent batting was shown on both sides . Ulyett (67) and Mr. H. Leadbeater (65) were the principal scorers for Yorkshire , contributing 132 out of 313 from the bat. Mr. C. J. Thornton's batting was the chief feature of Marylebone's first innings . He scored 63 out of 92 while he was in. Following on, 157 to the bad, the Club made a bad start , and six wickets were downfor 101. Just whenthe defeat seemed quite possible , how- ever, Mr. C. W. Wright (42) and Barnes (44) got together , and by fine cricket they saved the game, playing out time , after adding 55 runs . A tthe close M.C.C. andGroundwere one run behind with six wickets (exclusive of Mr W. G. Grace, absent ) down in the second innings . M.C.C. and Ground, 165 and 156 (six wickets ) ; total , 321.

M a y11 and 12. Thoughnot represented by their full strength , the Northern Colts had, as has usually been the case , all the best of this match. The wicket on the first day, owing to rain , was difficult , and hence the scoring generally was low. The Northerners were very much superior in bowling , and, as a consequence , the batting of the Southerners showed few noteworthy features .--Chilton , of Surrey (39), and Comber, of Sussex (34), in the second innings played fair cricket ; but otherwise the play was very weak, and the result was never in doubt. Preston , of Yorkshire , showed the best all -round form, and was of use to his county during the season, T h eNorthernersw o nb y 151 runs. North, 103 and 183 ; total , 286.
