A NUMBER OF CENTURIES:
TATE'S ACHIEVEMENT. Week-end play. In the county cricket contests appears to have experienced good weather in most cases, and a remarkable feature of the scores is the sound fashion in which the lodors were trounced.in completed matches.
New Zealand had no difficulty in disposing of Glamorgan, Dempster doing well with 167 to his credit. not out, and Bernau playing skittles with the Welsh.wickets.
Sussex and Middlesex drew, through a great recovery by the. latter. Tate in this match has achieved the distinction of being the first to complete 100 wickets and 1,000 runs this season.
The meeting of the two chief rivals, Lancashire and Yorkshire, was indecisive, but was a triumph for Sutcliffe, with five short of u century in his first innings and a splendid 135 in the next effort.
Northants beat Leicester mainly through the work of Jupp, who captured seven wickets at seven runs aplece.
Essex casily defeated Worcester, Nichols putting in some outstand
ing execution with the ball.
Hobbs added another century to hia record in the meeting of Sur- rey and. Notts, and Sandham also topped the 100 mark, but the match was inconclusive.
