Chatterton's 29 in first innings of Derbyshire was the highest score of the match. Derbyshire , 104 and 28 (one wicket ) ; total , 132.

Hill a n dR o b s o nas well as B a r t o nfor o n er u nb e t w e e nt h e m. T h e stand of the innings wason the fall of the fifth wicket, and then Mr. H. F. Ward and Capt. Wynyardadded 127 in two hours and a quarter -60 in the last half hour. Derbyshire , who were 87 behind on the first innings , started the follow on so badly that four of the best batsmenwere out with the total only 32. Somefine cricket by William Sugg, however, improved their position considerably . He was batting two hours and a quarter for his 77, in which was no chance . Hampshire at the finish had 102 to get to win, and rain interfered so often that a draw seemed likely . Still the weather held up sufficiently to allow Hampshire to win, which they did with five wickets to spare . Hampshire, 204 and 102 (five wickets ) ; total , 306.

Leicestershire were without Pougher, and as the wicket was soft in con- sequence of heavy rain it was all in favour of the bowlers , so that he was greatly missed . Leicestershire , who went in first , made a fairly good start under the circumstances , scoring 74 for the loss of half the side . Porter's fast bowling effected a great change, however, so great that the last five wickets only added 18 runs . Thesecond innings was almost a repetition of the first , as Tomlin (27) and Chapman (17) were the only double figures , and the last seven batsmen between them only accounted for 22. was the free cricket of W. Sugg, who shire wonby an innings and 36 runs. 81; total , 173. The best feature of Derbyshire's innings scored 70 without one chance . Derby- Derbyshire , 209.

Tomlin and Holland were, except- ing Warren, the only scorers of any account in the match for Leicestershire , and their best aggregate in the match was that of Holland with 36 and 32. On the other handStorer was in his very best vein . Hewas batting three hours and ten minutes , and his 78 (not out ) was free from a mistake . Derbyshire won by eight wickets .
