In this match Peate accomplished the most remarkable bowling performance of the season, his analysis in the first innings of Surrey being 16 overs, 11 maidens, 5 runs, 8 wickets. Certainly the ground was very soft and treacherous, but nevertheless Peate deserves unstinted praise. Seldom, indeed, have batsmen been so completely beaten by a bowler. The game was finished before lunch time on the second day. Though the scoring on both sides was so small, there were two ve ry fine innings played. Fo r Yorksh ire Bates made 55 in b r illian t style, and in the second innings o f Surrey, the colt, Henderson, scored 41—a splendid display o f sound, defensive cricket. Surrey’s 31 was the smallest total made in a county match during the year. July 26.— Oval.— Yorksh ire v. Surrey.— Surrey Review.) 1st Inns. 2nd Inns. Total. Ju ly 30, Yorksh ire 328 64 392 Bradford. Gloucestershire 177 213 390 Yorkshire won by 8 wickets. Gloucestershire was placed at a considerable disadvantage through the disablement of Woof, who had severely injured his hand, and was on ly able to bowl a few overs. The Yorksh iremen obtained a thorough mastery over the weak bow ling , and i t was not surprising that they gained a decisive vistory. O 11 the first day Gloucestershire made 177 and Yorkshire lost five wickets fo r 118, but on the second the game assumed a to ta lly d ifferent aspect, the last five Yorkshire wickets putting on no fewrer than 210 runs. Bates scored 57 and Emmett 44. Then Peel and Peate made a tremendous stand, and raised the score from 189 to 315, the former making 74 and the la tter 61. In the second innings o f Gloucestershire the brothers Grace batted ve ry finely, but except for a good innings by Mr. Pu llen the support rendered them was only moderate. U lye tt made 33 out o f 43 in Yorksh ire ’ s second innings. The best scorers for Gloucestershire were Mr. W . G. Grace 34 and 51; Mr. Cranston 67 (no t ou t ) and 14 j Mr. E. M.

Tin Derbyshire batsmen proved quite unequal to the task o f p lay ing Peate Peel, and Harrison on a false w icket, and in the tw o innings onb six batsmen reached double figures. In the first innings, Peate took i wickets for 36 runs, and in the second, Pee l obtained 4 for 29 runs Harrison took 4 wickets for 26 runs, and 4 for 7 runs.
