Derby, August 16 and 17. Heavyrain caused this match, like its predecessor , to be one of low scoring , and in two of the three completed innings the total fell short of a hundred . F. Sugg in Derbyshire's first innings scored 40 out of 49 while he was in . Of the other batsmen, only Mr. Dobell (22) and Briggs (21), of Lancashire , got over twentyruns. Watson's bowling for Lancashire was the feature of the match. Hebowled through both innings of Derbyshire , and took twelve wickets at an average of under five runs . Morethan two-thirds of his overs , as will be seen , weremaidens. Lancashire wonby ten wickets . Lancashire , 119 and 12 (for no wicket); total , 131. Derbyshire , 84 and43 ; total , 127.

Amatch of uneven scoring . Yorkshire , whowentin first , were dismissed for 161 , Bates (106) andHon. M. B. Hawke(18) contributing 124 of 154 fromthe bat. Bates's 106, though he was missed three times after he got sixty , was a brilliant display of hitting . Mr. Hawke's steady play was a great contrast . H ewas in while 82 runs were added to the score . W .Chatterton (82 not out), Mr. L. C. Docker (44), and F. Sugg (16) were the only batsmen to get double figures in Derbyshire's first innings , and as but 166 were got from the bat, eight of the eleven were only responsible for an aggregate of 24. Chatterton was in three hours and a half for his 82 not out, in which was no chance. Whenthey wentin a second time the Yorkshiremen madea very badstart , and six of the best batsmen were out for 99, or only 78 runs on. Grimshaw(122 not out) and Peel (55), however, changed the aspect of the gamealtogether . Their partner- ship lasted a little over three hours, andresulted in the addition of 166 runs to the score . Grimshaw's score was without a mistake . Derbyshire had 266 to get to win with only three hours and a half left for play. W. Chatterton , Cropper , and Coupe played well , but the later batsmen did nothing , and York- shire wonwith plenty of time to spare , having 121 runs in hand. In the match Bates took ten Derbyshire wickets at a cost of 75 runs. Yorkshire , 161 and 286 ; total , 447. Derbyshire , 182 and 144 ; total , 326 . (10 ) Derbyshire v. Australians . Derby, June 7, 8, and 9. TheDerbyshire eleven , though in a minority of 96 runs on the first hands, madea good fight , andwere only beaten by six wickets . The ground was not in a favourable state for run-getting , and the highest scorers for the respective sides were W. Chatterton (16 and 41) for Derbyshire , and Mr. S. P. Jones (41 and 13) for the Australians . Davidson, a player newin 1885 to the county eleven, showed capital cricket in the second innings for his 33 not out. Mr. Bonnor's first score of 46 included three hits over the ring for six . Mr. Giffen's bowlingfor the Australians wasthe best feature of the match. In all
