The influence of the present system of giving fifteen points for a win was, however, ap parent in the play yesterday, the course of which there was two remarkable declarations.

Hampshire started well. Arnold, the Oxfordshire player, who qualified for them last season, and Balley, a left-hander from the |county nursery, gained a complete mastery over the bowling and put on 127 without being separated. It was expected, at the lunch In- terval that the visitors would go but for the first innings lead, but to the amazement of the specta tors, and probably most of the players, it was announced on the resumption of play that 'Stephen Fry, the visiting captain, had de- clared Hampshire's.
