Abrilliant performance by Richards at the end enabled Warwickshire to claim a very creditable victory over the full strength of Yorkshire . Rain on the first morning caused the pitch to be all in favour of the bowlers , and on the first daytwenty wickets fell for an aggregate of 190 runs . In each case the best batting wasshownat the end of the innings . Moorhouse and Whitehead, the ninth and tenth batsmen , contributing 62 for Yorkshire , and Mr. Whitby, the ninth on the list , 24 not out, the highest score for Warwickshire . The wicket was slightly faster on the second day, and Yorkshire improved on the first innings to the tune of 98 runs. Ulyett (73), and Lee (49) were the most suc- cessful rungetters , and the former's hitting was quite up to his best form. Warwickshireh a da difficult task w h e nthey wentin with 242 to win. Mr. Bedford and Richards , however, made 88 before the former was out, and the latter , whofound a useful mate at the finish in Collishaw , carried out his bat for 120, winning the match for his side with five wickets to spare . It was a fine display without a chance , and his hitting all round was marked by great judgment. Warwickshire , 89 and 212 (five wickets ) ; total , 311. Yorkshire , 101 and199; total , 310 .

Charles Evans ofSheepbridge , near Chesterfield , madehis first appearance for Derbyshire , and withsatisfactory results , making47 out of the first 65 in an hour, in good, free style .

Rain restricted the cricket to forty minutes on the first day, and as the gamewas limited to two days , the chances of its completion were very remote . A sit was, twenty-three wickets fell , and as Cheshire were then still 93 behind , it mayfairly be said that they were spared an almost certain defeat . As they were all dismissed for an aggregate of 67, there was no room for high scoring , and, indeed , Ulyett (72) alone made five more than the opposite eleven . His
