Yorkshire. Sheffield , July 23 and 24. Oneof the most sensational matches of the county season . Thegame was delayed on the opening dayowing to rain, and then Sherwin, winning the toss , sent his opponents into the field , thinking , no doubt, he wouldget the best of the wetwicket . The ground dried , however , quicker than expected , and Peel , getting on the spot , dismissed his opponents in seventy minutes for 24 runs, 19 fromthe bat. Yorkshire in their turn fared very little better , as eighty minutes ' play found them all out for 46, Richardson , who bowled exceedingly well , taking six of the wickets . W h e nthey wentin again , Notts started muchbetter ; but though 50 was up for three wickets , Peel and Wadedisposed of the remain- ing seven wickets for eight more runs. This brought an extraordinary day's playto anend. Peel during the day took fourteen wickets of Notts for thirty- three runs , or an average of under 2½ runs . The next morning heavy rain made thewicket easy, and Hall and Ulyett knocked off the required 37 runs in forty minutes, andwonthe match for Yorkshire by ten wickets . Yorkshire , 46 and 37 (no wicket ) ; total , 83. Notts, 24 and 58 ; total , 82. Peel (Yorkshire ) R u n s. Wickets. 1 4 Overs. Maidens, 54.1 3 7 8 3 (6) Notts v. Surrey. Oval, August 6, 7, and 8. More favoured by the elements than manyof its predecessors during the last twomonths, the gamewas thoroughly appreciated by the 23,600 spectators who passed through the turnstiles . It proved , too , a most even and interesting inatch to within the last hour of play on the second day. Winningthe toss , Mr. Shuter as usual commencedwith Abel, and they ran the score to 35 before being parted . Thenmatters went badly with Surrey, and though Henderson played well for 29, the side were all out for 122 , Flowers taking five wickets for 55runs . Notts headed this total by 16 runs , Mr. Daft making 39 in excellent style . The chief characteristic of Surrey's next innings was an excellent 42 from the cap- tain (Mr. Shuter), while Read (26) and Mr. Key (20) did good service , the s u mtotal amountingto 147, or 132 for Nottsto win. N o wcamethe turning- point of a match which had so far been of an extraordinary even nature . There was only anhour left to play on the second daywhenNotts commenced to try andknock off the above numberof runs, but so well did Lohmannand B e a u m o n tb o w linthatshorttimethatsix b a t s m e nw e r eo u tfor3 9runs. other four wickets only added 14 runs on the third morning.
