By his feat, Bartlett qualifies for the Lawrence Trophy for the fast- est 100 of the season. His time of 57 minutes has been bettered only by Joe Hardstaff's 51 minutes for Notts against Kent, last year, and provided his time is not improved upon during the remainder of the season, he will be the first amateur to have qualified.

Cox and Stainton supported Bart- lett splendidly as did James Lan- gridge.

The match was marred by a fur- ther accident to Walker, the Aus- tralian wicket-keeper, who injur- ed his finger. He was forced to re- tire and his finger is being X-rayed.
