As every county was playing an important match last Whitsuntide , the Lord's authorities wisely substituted this match for the time-honoured one betweenveterans of the two divisions . S o m every fair cricket w a s shown bythe youngsters . W. H. Harrison , Yorkshire (92 and 39), R. Moorhouse, Yorkshire (45 and 84), and G. H. Rhodes , Lancashire (16 and 32), all showed promising batting form for the North, more particularly the two first -named; For the South C. Baldwin's (Suffolk ) 94 was perhaps the best performance of the match, though he was well assisted byJ. Major, Sussex (31), and J. F. Fillis- ton , Middlesex (37). In bowling J. T.

OnYorkshire going in a second time they were all dismissed in seventy-five minutes for 44 runs by Mr. Buckland and Burton , and Middlesex hadaneasy win. Mr. Bryant madea successful debût as wicket -keeper for Middlesex, whowonby nine wickets . Middlesex , 122 and 60 (one wicket) ; total , 182. Yorkshire , 137 and 44 ; total , 181 .
