COUNTY CRICKET MATCHES RESULTS.
GENTLEMEN. PLAYERS MATCH A DISAPPOINTMENT: SCOTLAND BEATEN BY NEW ZEALANDERS
FINE WINS FOR YORKSHIRE AND LEICESTER: MAURICE. TATE'S REMARKABLE BOWLING.
(THROUGH EEUTER'S AGENCY:)
London, July 18. Intermittent rain, all over England rendered the majority of the cricket grounds into "bowlers' wickets with the result that some remarkably good analyses were returned during the mid-week county cricket programme. The best performance must be credited to Maurice Tate, who took 8 wickets for 31 runs against Northnuts in their first innings, and then captured all four that foll when Northants went for the second time.
Splendid victories were registered by Yorkshire and Leicester, but the Gentlemen v. Players match at Lord's was a disappoint ment," for not only did it end in a drawn but it also provided the spectators with some painfully slow cricket.

Cambridge folded well, and the bowling WAS alatinetly good. Farnes struck ons as the best of the lot. He has a nice high action, and the power of making the good length ball get up. He obtained only one wicket, but he certainly deserved greater success. In pace ho in almost fast, and he keeps, a length. He is undoubtedly a pro- mising bowler. Brown had the best analysis. He can spin the ball buth ways, and every now and then sends down a most difficult ball, but hig length was not always accurate. His paco is such that he is able! to discard a fieldsman,straight be- hind him as most bowlers of his type fequire, and I can see him, on his day, being very effective. Like Farnes he was not blessed by for- tune.

LEICESTER'S SPORTING
DECLARATION.
Playing at home, Leicester defeat- ed Hampshire by three wickets.
A feature of the match was the sporting declaration made by Lei- cester's leader, who, despite the fact that Hampshire made 191 in their first knock, closed his innings when they only tunde, 102 in reply. It was indeed a very sport ing move as they might well have last on their first innings but this policy paid, for when they went in for the second time, Hampshire de clared at 133 for the loss of four. wickets. Then Leicester went for the runs in right royal fashion and got them for the loss of 7 wickets..
