B e a na n dM a r l o wm a d ea capital start for Sussex , scoring 112 for the first wicket . Still , Hampshire's all-round cricket was decidedly above the average , especially the batting , which showedto great advantage . Captain Wynyard, in particular , was in evidence in both innings , and his scores of 79 and 41 represented the best performance of the match. Atthe finish Hampshire, who had five wickets in hand, wanted 81 to w i n, so that on paper they had little or none the worst of it. Sussex , 217 and 194 (six wickets , innings closed ) ; total , 411.

The result was, too, the more creditable , considering that they had to oppose almostthe full strength of Sussex without Captain Wynyardor Mr. A. J. Hill . T h ewicket was slow from the recent rainfall , and Sussex had, of course , the worst of the luck in going in last . This apparently turned the scale , as while there was only a difference of two runs on the first innings , and that in favour of Sussex , Hampshirewere able in the end to win with only 20 runs to spare . Soar's all- roundcricket had muchto do with Hampshire's victory . Besides making 47 in the two innings , he took twelve wickets at a cost of exactly seven runs apiece .

Theconsistently good all -round cricket of the Yorkshire eleven had its fitting reward in their attainment of the first place among the nine leading Counties . U p to very nearly the end of the season the result was uncertain , so that they hadto play up to the very last . The success they obtained too was the outcome of thoroughly good combination . The eleven worked together harmoniously , and there wasageneralkeenness which was bound to have an excellent effect . All round the Yorkshiremen had a very fine side , especially later in the year when Messrs . F. S. Jackson , and E. Smith, were able to play . Of the sixteen matches , only three were lost , and one drawn. To Lancashire belonged the credit of defeating Yorkshire twice . The other reverse was at the hands of Surrey , at the Oval. The chief cause of Yorkshire's success was that they were a fairly young side . The eleven, too, was generally muchthe same and that was another favoring element .
