O f fourteenmatches evenw e r ew o na n dthe s a m e numberdrawn. Whetherthey were all round quite as strong as in 1885 is open to doubt. Some of the drawngames, it mayfairly be urged, were on paper hardly in their favour , and one of their victories , over Yorkshire at Nottingham, wasonly gained by a bare majority of eight runs . The bowling was beyond a doubt hardly so formidable as it was a year or so ago, although the omission of Walter Wrightleft a blank which was not filled bythe presence of the ex-fast bowler of Derbyshire , F. Shacklock . Still the record of the Nottinghamshire eleven in 1886 wasa most honourable one, and on public form they were fully entitled to be considered the strongest county team of last year. nianwell 8
