Mr. W. W. Read (106), Abel (92), and Mr. Shuter (84), all scored very fast . The two first -namedwhile they were in made ahundredruns in thirty-three minutes, and Mr. R e a d, w h oh a dtwo lives , w a sonlyin twohours and forty minutesfor his runs. T h echief feature of the Derbyshire cricket was the excellent batting of Chatterton and the vigorous hitting of Mr. Walker. These two batsmen in forty minutes put on72 runs, 48 of which were from Mr. Walker's bat . Chatterton's 60, not out, was a fine display with only one chance , whenhe had got 41. Surrey wonby an innings and 50 runs . Surrey , 409. Derbyshire , 166 and 193 ; total , 359. (10) Derbyshirev. Yorkshire. Derby, August 10, 11, and 12. A match for the benefit of John Platts -a professional who had done good service for the county . Yorkshire , though they wonthe toss , were unable to get more than 96, Hall carrying his bat through the innings for 37. The credit of this achievement was entirely due to Shacklock , who took eight wickets (six clean bowled) for 45 runs an exceptionally good performance . The batting , too, of the Derbyshire eleven was distinctly creditable , and the result was an excellent total of 223,t owhich Chatterton (62), Mr. Maynard (37), and Sugg (34), were the chief contributors . Shacklock's bowling was again of great service whenYorkshire went in a second time, and Grimshaw(57), Ulyett (48), and Lee (35), were responsible for 140 of an aggregate of 196. Derbyshire had 70 to get to win, with only an hour and a quarter left , and of these 54 had been got for the loss of five wickets . In all probability , therefore , could the game havebeenfinished , Derbyshirewould have secured a mostcreditable victory . Shacklock took thirteen Yorkshire wickets and scored 27 runs. Chatterton scored 73 runs for once out, and took four wickets. T h eg a m ewasdrawn. Yorkshire , 96 and 196 ; total , 292. Derbyshire , 223 and 54 (five wickets ) ; total , 277.
