The match between the two sides at Darlington in June had also been drawn. For Durham, Butler took 12 wickets in the match for 78 runs. In the Yorkshire 2 nd XI first innings, 8 consecutive maidens were bowled with the score at 6 and 4 wickets fell at this total. [An alternative version of this score in the Yorkshire scorebook gives in the Durham second innings the seventh wicket falling at 36 not 35.
