We shall take another opportunity of Hancock's performance, commenting simply remarking now that it was cricket all through that would not be out of place in one of the best County matches.

Sharpe commenced at the City end to Hancock, who cut him neatly for one, and Fraklin again for two, followed by Hancock, who snicked him through the slips for one. l'ancock got Mackenzie away to the railings twice with two beautiful cuts, putting up to on the board.. Hancock was playing as if he had been in all day, seeming to experience no difficulty in playing both bow lers, his cuts to the off being brilliant. Another four off Mackenzie to Hancock's credit, followed by a one, and then Brown's straight sent one to leg, bringing 20 to sight.

the wicket was doing excellently, very few get ground Brown played in a maiden by Sharpe ting past him. and 40 went up after a leg hit by Hancock after half an hour's play. Runs had lately been scored very slowly, as Mackenzie and Sharpe were not to be rifled with, and after Brown's narriew escape both batsmen were careful. Brown's defence was exceedingly good, his for ward play taking all the twist out of some of Mackenzie's best. Billings replaced Sharpe at the City end and Hancock hit him to the pavilion with a cut that was quite up to County form. He did it again, scaring 8 in two shots, and followed with a one. Billing's scrip west down below par. 50 went up for 47 minutes play, Brown's scare being six only, but he was playing the game. Billings was sending down some short pitched ones that Hancock punished severely, and Brown got neatly away at times. A smart piece of stopping at long leg spoiled a nice leg cut-by Hancock, when Brown cut Mackenzie to therail- ings, bringing 60 up. Billings hadó men behind the wicket on the off sile, so runs were difficult to get and Hancock's 'hardest cats could not get through the field. Whitley went on at the City end in place of Billings and Brown' drove his third away to leg for four and did the same to the next ball-8 runs off Whitley's first over Hancock could do nothing with MacKenzie's next over; he could play them out of his wicket but no more, as the bowler was dead on. Whitley, with his thuid ball, disposed of Brown, who playing forward at quite an easy one spooned it up into Barkshire's hands at point. Score 69.9-21. Brown had played two hours for his 21 and never gave a chance; the ball he was caught off evidently rose on to the shoulder of his bat and sent him to the pavilion amidst well deserved opplause.
