For the home team, there were 13 fours, 5 threes and 10 twos in Washington’s 100 not out, an innings of 2 hours and 50 minutes. Newspaper reports suggest the declaration was delayed to allow Washington to reach his century, his second of the season against Northamptonshire. Elam’s 58 contained 4 fours. For the visitors, East’s 91 included 7 fours. [An alternative version of this score, found in Northampton sources, gives in the Northamptonshire second innings Cox st Higgins b Frank.] [Missing: Complete.] Sources: Yorkshire Scorebook; Yorkshire Year Book 1902, p 155; Yorkshire Post 1,2 August; Northampton Daily Chronicle 1 August; Northampton Daily Reporter 1,3 August; Northampton Herald 3 August; Northampton Mercury 2 August.
