T H ECOUNTIESIN 1893. N LANA 1 3 1 first hands . Chatterton ,who carried out his bat for 100 scored himself nearly as manyas the Derbyshire Eleven in their first innings . Mr. S. H. Evershed , the Captain , showed good cricket , too , for his 72,but it was inferior to Chatterton'sinnings whichextended over three hours and a half and only contained one chance at 76. Yorkshire who were without Mr. F. S. Jackson , as well as Peel , and Wainwright , this time found their most successful batsman in Moorhouse , whose second innings of 78, not out , was in his usual style , full of vigour and confidence . Rain finally stopped play whenDerbyshire only wanted 27 to win with eight wickets to fall . Derbyshire , 301 and 25, (two wickets ) total , 326. Yorkshire , 121 and 231, total, 352. (10 ) Yorkshirev. W a r w i c k s h i r e . Dewsbury, July 20 and21. This time Yorkshire had, except for the absence of Lord Hawkeand Mr. F. S. Jackson , its best side . Still , the Warwickshire eleven made a good show, especially after being in arrears on the first hand to the extent of 160 runs . Up toabout the middle of their second innings it looked as if Warwickshire would not succeed in putting their opponents in a second time . That they did so was chiefly due to the resolute hitting of Lilley (61) and Devey (49), who put on 93 for the eighth wicket in less than an hour . The chief incident in Yorkshire's first innings wasthe fine display of Peel . His 110 not out, which extended over three hours and ten minutes , was free from anything like a chance . Yorkshire won by nine wickets . Yorkshire , 278 and 48 (one wicket ) ; total , 326. Warwickshire , 118 and 205; total , 323. (11 ) Yorkshirev. E s s e x. Sheffield , July 24 a n d25. The Yorkshire eleven , without Lord Hawke , Messrs . F. S. Jackson , Sellers , and E. Smith, as well as Hirst, were not on this occasion at least , seen to the usual advantage . The early batting of Essex too , was not of a promising kind , and it was only the unexpectedly good innings of 66, not out ,byMead, just at the finish , which enabled them to reach a total of 140. Still , this was more than enough as the gamewent, andYorkshire's dismissal in the first innings for such a small sum as 44, practically decided the result . In the follow -on, Wainwright and Moorhouse made a plucky attempt to save the game, but otherwise the batting was again a failure . Essex won eventually with seven wickets to spare . Essex , 140 and 32 (three wickets ) ; total , 172. Yorkshire , 44 and 127 ; total , 171. Mead supplemented his score of 66, not out, with some good bowling . In the match he tooktenYorkshirewicketsat a cost of8 1 runs. (12) Yorkshire& Derbyshire . Hull, August 3, 4, and 5 Asin the previous match , the Derbyshire eleven were seen to advantage at all points . The chief feature of their batting was a capital second innings of 108 by Storer , who, with Malthouse , contributed 162 of 226 from the bat . Itwas a good performance , too , considering that Yorkshire had, with the one exception of Wainwright , its full bowling strength . Rain stopped the game at the close of Derbyshire's second innings , so that Yorkshire would have had to make 272 with all their wickets in hand. Derbyshire , 146 and 230 ; total , 376.
