Secretary : H. Turner, LucerneHouse, West Bridgford . U Pto pretty well the middle of the season the record of the Notts Eleven showed, with the exception of a decisive victory over Sussex in the first match, a succession of drawn games . Curiously enough , their only successes -they amountedbut to two-were over Sussex . The second part of the season pro- ducedlittle else than a series of reverses . Nine draws, five defeats , and two wins represented the result of the season , and not a very hopeful one it will be added. Yet the cricket of the Notts Eleven was by no meanswith- out interest . The batting , taken altogether , was certainly above the average . It was in the bowling that there was room for improvement . William Attewell showed all his old precision . Hewas, in fact , the mainstay of the side . After him there was a long interval , and what change there was could only be described as mild . In Dench and J. Gurn the County intro- duced two promising young cricketers , not unlikely , both of them, to develop into really useful all -round players .
