THROUGH REUTER'S AGENOT.]

LONDON, June 19:

The mid-week cricket programme was very severely interferred with by rain, no less than four matches being abandoned; there was no play it all in the Warwick-Surrey 6xture.

Thanks to a fine picca of bowling by Geary in the second innings, Leicester scored their first victory of the season at. the expense of Worcester, while Middlesex were unlucky in that time prevented them from scoring an outright win over Northampton- shire. In their friendly fixtures, Sussex registered a brilliant win over Nottingham. A. feature of this game was that both Parks and. Duleepsinghji scored centuries, both being out when they had made 100 runs.
