the -wicket. A slight indisposition prevented reate playing for York- shire, but under the circumstances his absence was not felt. Mr p Townsend made 44 and 4 for Gloucestershire, but received very little support. For Yorkshire, Grimshaw scored a brilliant 71, Mr. Woodhouse 62, Emmett a very lucky 37, Peel 34 (not out), and Hunter 27. Peel bowled capitally and took 11 wickets for 87 runs. 1st Inns . 2 nd Inns.

' In this return match, Hall accomplished a great performance for Yorkshire, scoring 90 in his first innings and 135 in his second. The Middlesex bowling was weaker than ever, Burton being too unwell to take anything like his ordinary share of the work, but, nevertheless, Hall’s achievement deserves to rank among the best of the season. His second innings was distinctly the finer of the two. Ulyett was out for 7 on the first day, but in the second innings he hit tremendously for 107, he and Hall putting on 1/3 runs while they were together. Peel scored 5 and 50, and Grimshaw 42 and 11. For Middlesex, the Hon. Alfred Lyttelton played in his best style for 77, and Mr. Webbe scored a very good 46. As each team had a long journey in prospect, stumps were drawn early on the third day.

The Yorkshiremen had the game in hand from the start, and no particular interest could be felt in the play. For the winners, Hall made 54, Bates 39, Lee 37, Mr. Woodhouse and Grimshaw each 23, and Emmett 21. The best scorers for Derbyshire were Scliacklock 50 and 25, Wood.Sims 4 and 31, Cropper 5 and 30, and Marlow 25 and 4 (not out).

His aggregate score is 759 as against 769, and with only one not-out innings instead of seven, lie averages 33 as against 40.9. Ulyett has fallen from 29.7 to 24.20, scarcely any of his best innings last season having been played in county matches. Lee’s figures are exceedingly good for a new man, and his presence in the team went a long way towards making up for the unavoidable absence of Mr. Edward Lumb. Bates has advanced from 19.7 to 22.3, and Grimshaw from 11.1 to 19. Harrison’s failure threw a great deal of work upon Emmett, and the veteran rose to the occasion, taking 61 wickets at a cost of less than ll£ runs each. Peate took the same number of wickets as Emmett, and bowled very well. Peel’s bowling shows an advance, and Bates’s a marked decline. Ulyett was in much finer form than in 1833, and his average is nearly four runs a wicket better.
