Ill fortune attended Sussex, w h owere first to batin this match, in that Bean had to retire owing to an injury soon after the start , while in the second innings bothB e a nand Marlow ereabsenthurt. Inthe first venture, too, the last -n a m e d hadproved the brightest scorer with 48 in a total of 114. Yorkshire whentheir turn came, madea long stay at the wickets , and compiled 328. ThoughTunnicliffe (78), LordHawke(31), and Brown(39) were each conspicious , the great feature of theinnings wasthe free andattractive 131 of Mr. Jackson, scored at the rate of nearly a run a minute. Sussex had heavy arrears of 214 to face whenthey went in again , with two men short , and though Mr. Newhamwith 75, Mr. Murdoch22, Humphreys24, and Gutteridge 31 not out all did well , they were unable to put the other side in again. Peel took eight wickets in the match for 74. Mr. Jackson four for 37 runs. Yorkshire , wonby an innings and 35 runs . Yorkshire , 328. Sussex , 114 and178 : total , 292. (2) . S u s s e xv. Y o r k s h i r e . Dewsbury, June7th a n d8th. Rainhad rendered the pitch so treacherous that the bowlers held the mastery throughout , and the match was of brief duration . Yorkshire winning the toss , 133was registered as the result of their first essay , Moorhouse's unfinished 25 ranking as the highest contribution . Shawand Paris did most of the execution . Sussex performed feebly against the bowling of Wainwright and Peel, (the two were unchanged throughout ), and were soon all out for 55. Naturally , considering the nature of the turf , there was still an absence of high scoring whenYorkshire went in again . Still , though , with a useful 41 from Mr. Sellers , 23 from Brown, and 21 from Mounsey, the side ultimately totalled a creditable score of 139. Sussexwere thus left, underthe circumstances, with a very difficult task, one which proved too muchfor them. Except Bean and Mr. Arlington no one could withstand the attack of Wainwright, the last six wickets adding only 11 runs . Yorkshire wonby 166 runs. Yorkshire , 133 and 139 ; total , 272.

Brighton , June 21st , 22nd and 23rd. Though at the outset , owing to the recent rain , the pitch played queerly , it improved as the match progressed , and after the University , who opened the batting , had been disposed of for 114, some high scoring was witnessed . Tate and Hilton bowled unchanged throughout the first innings of Cambridge, the former taking five wickets for 49, the latter five for 60 runs . Sussex owed much to the credit of their total of 236 to Mr. Murdoch, who was responsible for 79, andMr. Arlington , whomade73. Becoming associated on the fall of the third wicket for 21, these two increased the score in seventy -five minutes by 110 runs . Messrs. J. Douglas and E. Field were in fine form when the University went in again , the total whenthe third batsman retired standing at 190. Mr. Douglas subscribed 119 , Mr. Field 83. Save for Mr. Latham, the rest did little , and the venture terminated for 323. The county entered upon the final stage wanting 202 to win, and this sum they achieved for the loss of only two batsmen-Bean(53), Murdoch (not out 52), Mr. Newham(not out 65).
