'THOUGHthey began the season badly with a defeat at the hands of Middlesex , onthe whole the Yorkshiremen showed excellent all -round cricket . Withthe exception of Surrey and Middlesex , who each had the best of them twice , they were unbeaten in county matches, and their results of the season gave fair grounds for congratulation . Peel's all -round cricket was decidedly the best fea- ture of the year. O nthe wet wickets he wasvery nearly the best bowler of 1888, and as he wasquite in the front rank of batsmen, as well as one of the most brilliant fieldsmen , he had no superiors in Yorkshire -at least few, if any, anywhere, on his form of 1888 as an all -round player . The fielding of the eleven was at times not so good as it might have been, but in batting and bowling they showed to advantage , and altogether they fairly proved their right to a place only second to Surrey . Hall and Ulyett batted well throughout , as did Lee in a lesser degree ,
