Leicestershire treated Hampshire! in cavaller fashion to-day and won a two-day county cricket match by nine wickets. Leicester's score of 404 made on Saturday proved altogether too much for Hampshire, who were sent back to-day for scores of 180 and 254. Leicester obtained the re- quired 32 runs for the loss of one wicket.
Berry was Leicester's leading run- geller, hitting up 153, and to-day Flamson bowled finely for the win- ners, taking G for 61 in Hampshire's first innings-Reuter.
