Mr. Shuter (55 not out) hit in fine style whenSurrey went in a second time , and as at the close they were 159 runs on with eight wickets to fall , thegamewas certainly not drawnto their disadvantage .

Nottingham, July 1, 2, and 3. Thegroundwas throughout in favour of the bowlers , and hence the scoring washardly up to the average . Notts had an advantage of 20 runs on the first hands, but Emmettand Wadebowled with such success whenthey went in a second time that after Shrewsbury (12) , Scotton (41) , and Gunnhad been dis- posed of, no stand was made, and though 90 was up with only a wicket down, the innings closed for 149. With169 to win, Yorkshire madea capital start , and Hall (32) and Ulyett (47) put on 66 before a wicket fell . With the exception of Preston and Peate, however, the play of the remaining batsmen was very disappointing ; and a fine running catch by Wright in the long field , whichdis- posed of Hunter, enabled Notts to win, after a most exciting finish , by eight runs .

Sussex , represented by a very inferior eleven , were altogether overmatched , andthe result was never in doubt. The wicket was not a good one, andthe bats- m e nwerein consequence seen to great disadvantage . Sussex , who wonthe toss , madea poor show against the bowling of Flowers and Attewell , and the last five wickets in the first innings added twenty , in the second only nineteen runs . Mr. H. B. Daft was at the wickets three hours and twenty minutes for Notts. His score of 61 not out was a capital display of steady cricket . At the finish Attewelltook six Sussex wickets for six runs. N i n eof the ten wickets in the second innings of Sussex fell to him. Notts w o nby an innings and 15 runs. Notts, 176. Sussex , 88 and 73 ; total , 161. 1 Attewell(Notts) Flowers وو A.

The Surrey captain , winning the toss , elected to take the innings -an unfor- tunate choice , as it happened. Notts , in fact , got all the best of the wicket in going in second , and gained thereby an advantage which practically won them the match . Shrewsbury (42) and Scotton (73) made 84 before a wicket fell , and Barnes (44) and Selby (50) subsequently showed excellent cricket . While Mr. W. W. Read (84) and Lohmann (46) were together in Surrey's second innings there was just a chance of a draw . Both batsmen batted with great judgment : they added 91 runs for the fifth wicket . Though Notts had only 22 to get to win, Scotton , Barnes , and Gunn were dismissed before the winning hit was made, Bowley bowling all three batsmen . Notts wonby
