Undersuch circumstances the batting had little chance of doing itself justice , and Mr. Newham'sfirst innings of 35 proved to be the highest of some low scores . Helped by the ground, Richardson and Attewell were able to puzzle the majority of the batsmen, and, as will be seen, their figures were well worthy of reproduction . Jesse Hide, too , bowled with success for Sussex . His seven wickets cost 74 runs . Notts wonby an innings and 28 runs. Notts, 269 . Sussex , 121 and 120 ; total , 241 .

Sheffield , July 22 , 23, and 24 . A very even and stubbornly -contested match, as the meetings between these neighbours and old rivals usually are. There was only a difference of 25 runs in favour of Notts wheneach side had completed aninnings . Atone time Notts had 200 runs up, with only four batsmen out, but Peel's bowling proved too muchfor the tail , and the total was only increased by 25 runs . G u n nwas again the principal scorer with 87, and the Yorkshiremen had the mortification of knowing that he ought to have been caught at short slip whenhe had only got a single . Theburden of Yorkshire's first innings fell onPeel (60) and Lee (41), andthe former wasseen at his best , batting for two hours and ten minutes withoutthe semblance of a chance. Rainonthe second d a yonce interrupted the play, which was chiefly remarkable for another good innings by Scotton , w h oscored 101 (51 and 50) in the match by excellent cricket . Yorkshire had no easy task when they went in to get 159 to win, and the game seemed virtually over when the fifth wicket fell for 24. Wainwright (50), however, played with great nerve and spirit , but he was caught just as Yorkshire seemed to have a look in, and after all Notts w o naninteresting match by 36 runs .

Aremarkable match, productive of one of the most interesting and exciting finishes of the year. Maurice Read, owing to an injury to his hand, was unable to play , and as heavy rain had fallen just previous to the match , it was feared that the loss of a batsman generally successful whenothers failed would be severely felt by Surrey . Luck befriended the Surrey captain in the toss , but except Mr. W .W. Read, none of the earlier batsmen did much, and it was left to W o o dto showhowthe Nottinghambowlers could be hit , his 49, the highest score of the innings , being an exceedingly good display of confident and plucky cricket . Aheavyshower interfered with the progress of Nottingham, and the batsmen fell one after the other to Beaumontand Lohmannuntil there seemed every probability of a follow on. Six runs were still wanting when Richardson , the tenth m a n, arrived , but Mr. Dixon, who carried out his bat eventually for 59, soon placed this beyond doubt, and a mistake at mid-off , which gave Sherwin, the last m a n, a life , proved very expensive for Surrey, whosaw the last wicket add 48 runs . Though rather fluky at the start , Mr. Dixon's 59 not out was an innings characterized by great judgment and resolution . In a majority of 13 Surrey went in a second time late on Tuesday afternoon , and Abel and Lock
