The Glamorgan declaration left Northumberland 90 minutes to score the 160 runs required to win. Rain prevented play on the second day before 12.00 am and between 12.45 pm and 3.15 pm. For the visitors, there was 1 six and 3 fours in Riches’s 52 not out. In the Glamorgan first innings, Brain and Creber added 61 runs for the ninth wicket. In the Northumberland first innings, Creber took 7 wickets for 63 runs. For Northumberland, Richardson’s 58 contained 8 fours. When he dismissed Seymour in the Glamor gan first innings, Elsey reached the career milestone of two hundred wickets in championship matches. [The Glamorgan scorebook, which it is believed is a copied version, gives bowling details which are not supported by the other sources listed or the Northumberland averages in Wisden. For the record these differences are in the Glamorgan first innings Elsey runs conceded 63, Chambers maidens 5 and runs conceded 56, and in the Glamorgan second innings Elsey runs conceded 24, Chambers overs 16, and Clayton runs conceded 9.] [Missing: In Glamorgan second innings who held substitute catch.] Sources: Glamorgan Scorebook; Newcastle Daily Chronicle 20,21 June; Newcastle Daily Journal 20,21 June; Newcastle Evening Chronicle 19 June; South Wales Daily News 20,21 June; South Wales Echo 19,20 June; Western Mail 20,21 June; Sporting Life 21 June; The Sportsman 20,21 June.
