1 0 6 LILLYWHITE'S CRICKETERS' ANNUAL. subsequently some plucky batting by Mr. Wright (59) and Attewell (61) altered the aspect of the game. Mr. F. S. Jackson was in his best vein whenthe home shire went in again , and was not disposed of till he had registered a chanceless 145. Brown, too, with 77, and later on Wainwright (not out 41) and Hirst (not out 21), were all to the fore , and when the total had reached 330 for seven wickets Mr. Jackson closed the innings . Left with 353 to win, Notts began in good style , Gunn(51) and Daft (23) in particular playing the Notts gameto perfection . The bowling of Mr. Jackson and Peel told its tale , however, and in the end the side were dismissed for 151. It was certainly Mr. Jackson's match, for, in addition to his aggregate of 188 runs , he took five wickets in Notts second innings for 37. Yorkshire won by 201 runs . Yorkshire , 220 and 330 (seven wickets-innings closed ) ; total , 550. Notts , 198 and 151 ; total , 349. (6) Notts v. Somersetshire Nottingham, July 12, 13 and14. There was so little difference between the merits of the elevens engaged, that the result maybe said to have been mainly due to one man, Gunn. Of the first total of Notts , who were first to bat, Gunnmade 51. The next highest score being Mr. Wright's 29, while the side were all out for 149. Tyler had six wickets for 62. Somersetshire's response amounted to 148, or but one run less , with Mr. V. T. Hill's 38 as the top score . O n Notts going in again, Gunnand Mr. Dixon(32) were again seen to advantage . After his captain's departure , too, the professional continued to play masterly cricket , and whenthe tenth wicket fell at 222, he was still in with 121 to his credit . With a difficult task before them, Somersetshire , thanks to a grand 119 from Mr. L. Palairet , and at the close to Mr. Wickham's patient play , madea plucky fight , but without avail . Notts won b y21 runs. Notts, 149 and 222; total, 371. Somersetshire, 148 and 202 ; total , 350. (7) N o t t sv. S u s s e x. Brighton, July23, 24and25. This match (for Jesse Hide's benefit ) produced a noteworthy result , the first victory that Sussex had been able to achieve over Notts for some twenty years . W h e nSussex went in, the bowling of Hardstaff was again , very successful . Thanks, however, to Marlow (54) and Mr. Newham(43), the in-side managedto secure a total of 163. The Notts batsmen, whentheir turn came, found the bowling of Shawvery difficult , and the side were all out for 102. Sussex did so well in their second essay that Mr. Murdoch thought fit to close his innings when eight wickets were downfor 183. Ofthis sumMr. Newhamhadagain played well for 45, Mr. Fry had made 42, and Butt 58. In the result the Sussex captain's judgment was justified , as , with the exception of Gunn (56), the Notts batsmen failed before Hilton and Shaw, and succumbed for a total of 119.

The wicket was not an easy one , still Surrey , who batted first , were seen to the best advantage . For their total of 299 , they were largely indebted to Brockwell , whowent in early in the innings and carried his bat for a sound 106-his fifth century in important cricket of the season .
