Still Somersetshire played up well in the face of the good bowling of Brown and Wainwright , and with Tyler too ill to bat , the innings did not reach 200. Yorkshire won by an innings and 51 runs .

Amatchvery muchlike its predecessor in point of result , even if the scoring wasnot quite as large . The wicket , however was not in the same condition and the recent rainfall this time gave the bowlers a better chance . Even at the out- set the ground was not at all easy so that Somersetshire's first total with Mr. Hewett as well as the two brothersPalairet , Mr. Challen , and V. T. Hill away, was by no means a bad performance . Yorkshire though , were seen to really great advantage as the wicket was, Mr. Sellers and Tunnicliffe made162 runs while they weretogether in anhourand fifty minutes, andthe former's 103was a really fine innings , only marred by one chance at 32. Somersetshire had the wicket at its worstwhenthey went in a second time in arrears of 139. Still they made a fair showalthough they failed to avert an innings defeat by 13 runs . Yorkshire , 300.

W i c k e t s. 3 8 A very creditable win for Somerset , more especially as they were without Messrs . Hedley , Challen , and V. T. Hill . The wicket was slow from recent rains , and Tyler's bowling was played so badly by the Surrey batsmen generally , as to account in a great measure for their defeat . Another important factor was Mr. S. M. J. Woods. Though unable to bowl owing to a strain , he hit with great reso- lution in the second innings , on a wicket madeeasy again by rain . Still , he was missedwhenhe had made four , and the Surrey men, had, in other cases , to thank their bad fielding for their ill success . Surrey's early batsmen too, failed signally whenthey entered on the fourth innings , wanting 181 to win. Mr. W. W. Read andBrockwell brought the total from 51 to 130 for the sixth wicket , but after their separation, the end soon came. Somersetshire w o nby 39 runs. 132and 148 ; total , 280.

This time Sussex were only deprived of a certain victory by the untimely intervention of the rain on the third day. Messrs . Hedley (43) and L. Palairet (73) madesuch a capital start for Somersetshire , that at the luncheon interval on the first day the telegraph shewed 164 runs , at a cost of four batsmen. The rest of the innings though was a complete triumph for Humphreys' lobs , so muchso, indeed, that the last six wickets only added 19 runs. Tyler was very nearly as successful with the Sussex tail , for in less than an hourthe last five wickets fell for an addition of 52 runs . In Somersetshire's second innings , too, the lobs puzzled the majority . Humphreys found at least his master in Mr. Challen , who made108 in two hours , without a mistake of any kind. The chances of Sussex making the 266 wanted to win were spoiled by the rain , and, as it was, the game had to be given up when they still required 149, and with only one wicket in hand. Humphreystook fifteen Somerset wickets in the match. Somersetshire , 183and264 ; total , 447. Sussex , 182 and 117 (nine wickets ) ; total , 299.
