STOKE NEWINGTON TRAGEDY, Extraordinapy Statements by Prisoners, At North London Police-court to-day Ralph John Dyer and his sister, Caroline Agnes Dyer, were committed for trial on the charge of mur- dering Frances Annie Norbury by stabbing her. and also with attempting to murder three other ipersons by wounding them at Stoke Newington under circumstances already reported. Before committal the male prisoner insisted in making a statement. e said: "I took up iny sister's case to avenge an outrage. I still believe that she has been outraged. I plead guilty to what I have done, with justification. 'That is my answer. I call no witnesses; it is no use." The female prisoner said, "I say that my brother had scarcely anything to do with it. I | don't see why he should be implicated. He stood by me because he has such a noble mind. True. he had a pistol, but you can all see that he did not use it. and what he did I say was right. The reason I did it was because lof what a doctor in Southampton told me. That was enough to justify me in what I have i done." The magistrate refused the application of Mrs. Dyer to see the prisoners in the cells of the court. He thought it best that the mother should not see them.

FOUR PERSONS DROWNED. Sad Fatality at Aberystwith. The Press -Association Aberystwyth corre- spondent te)graphs that an accident occurred in the bay off here this afternoon to a fishing- boat named Queen Bee, on which were a num- ber of townspeople and visitors. Four of thoae on board were drowned. A later telegram states that the party went for a. sail in a boat under the charge of two boatmen. The sea was very rough and the boat capsized in a squall, within sight of shore. The boatmen only were saved, and one of these had a narrow cscape, as arti- ficial respiration had to be resorted to. It is st.ated now that all four, who lost tfieir olives were visitors, but their names are at present unknown. The lifeboat, and other craft, are searching for the bodies, but at present without success.

The Dorking Tragedy "ENOUGH TO TURN A MAN INTO A DEVIL." As briefly reported in our later issues yester- day, an inquest was held that morning at the Plough and Harrow Hotel, Westcott, near Dorking, on the body of James Young, a deco- rator, aged 64 years, who died from self- inflicted wounds on the Gonimon on Sunday morning after having made a murderous attack on Mr. Heaver, of Oakham Cottage, near Westcott, a gentleman who owns a large amount of property in Clapham and Batter- sea. Mr. Heaver was very seriously injured, having two bullet wounds. The shots are still in his body, and he still lies in a critical con- dition. Mr. Ernest Young, son of the deceased, said his father had been living for some time past in Batteraea, and left there on Sunday morn- ing. Witness did not know that his father carried a revolver with him. About twelve years ago deceased shot a man, and was charged with the offence at the Old Bailey and acquitted. Replying to Mr. Hickley, the solicitor representing the Heaver family, wit- ness admitted that Mr. Heaver bad set his sister (deceased's wife) up in business, and that this bad aroused the animosity of witness's father. Evidence was then called to the effect that on arriving at Westcott on Sunday morning deceased was carrying a black bag. He walked up the common, and met Mr. and Mrs. Heaver all they were on their war to church. He drew a revolver out of the big and shot at Mr. Heaver in the back, a second bullet hitting him in the neck, and then ran away. On being pursued he jumped into some bushes and shot himself. In some letters which were found in the black bag there was the follow. ing The judge who tried me some years ago at the Old Bailey showed his approval of my act as plainly as he could consistent with his duty in the position of a judge. The judge set me free and I returned to a home, which became a hell. It is enough to turn a, man into a devil. Society could not exist if it did not punish criminals, but we have no right to blame a criminal for becoming what he is." The jury found that t':t.e deceased died from self-inflicted wounds, and that he was suffer- ing from hallucination.

Imperial Parliament. THE VOTES ON SUPPLY. HOUSE OF COMMONS. W-ednesday. The Speaker took the Chair at twelve o'clock. Mr. Balfour moved a resolution of which he had given notice to the effect that when on Thursday and Friday the remaining votes in Supply are put without further discussion (the allotted days for their debate being exhausted) they should be put not FRingly, but in classes. according as they relate to the Navy, Army, Civil Service, or Revenue departments. He said that the amendment was neceisitated by the present state of public business. Ninety- seven or 98 votes in Supply still remained. If a, division were taken or each, the House would be engaged walking through the division lobbies for twenty consecutive hours. He held that the allotted days would be found amply sufficient for Supply if they were fairly used, but the existing closure rule did not deal effec- tively with the obstruction of Supply. Sir H. CAMPBELL-B.4NNERMAN said the Government were to bl&me for the state of business, and he could not support them in this motion. The nation's affairs had not' been presented in a businesslike way, and throughout there had been a lack of driving force. If they were going to revise the rules of procedure with respect to Supply they must do it in a fashion which would secure a deci- sion being arrived at on each of the important questions raised in discussing the Estimates. Mr. JOHN REDMOND said the proposal of the Leader of the House was a. fitting termination of a career of blundering and mismanagement this session. The Nationalist members would never have been guilty of the stupidity of divid- ing indiscriminately against every vote in Supply. The passing of the resolution would bring degradation and ridicule upon both the House of Commons and Parliamentary insti- tutions generally. Sir WILLIAM HARCOURT contended that to spring a proposal of this kind suddenly upon the House at such short notice was not the proper way to conduct business or to lead the House of Commons. It was a. panic proposal without any real cause. Mr. BRYCE regarded the remedy proposed for the state of public businea3 as a blow struck at the root of Parliamentary control over the expenditure of the country, and over the executive. Mr. DILLON asserted that there was no ground for the assumption thát the ITish members would divide the House on each indi- vidual vote in supply.

GROOM AND HIS FORTUNE. Exploits in Cardiff, It appears that Mr. Joseph Samuel Staddon, some of whose exploits are detailed on Page 4, has had some experiences in Cardiff A short time f.go he visited the town and ingratiated h;mself with a. widow landlady, to whom he related the fctory of his wealth. Matters quickly ripened, and Staddon married the I lady and opened negotiations for renting a country house near Cardiff. Later he w.ent to Southampton, and thence "sailed for America." -r--

National Eisteddfod To-day's Proceedings. LITERARY PURSUITS VERSUS FOOTBALL. With the chief choral event disposed of, it was hardly to be expected that the attend- ance at the second day's opening of the Eis- teddfod would approach that of Monday, and the band played its selection to mostly empty chairs and benches, but as the day wore on .and the competitions were in full swing the attendance increased to more encouraging proportions. The chief figures on the platform at the opening were Mabon and Gurnos," the conductors, who introduced to the gathering the two chairman for the day, Mr. W. Thomas, M.E., Aberdare, ana air. Keir Hardie, M r. The member for Merthyr looked quite bardic so far as his locks and furrowed brow were concerned, but perhaps it wanted something more uncomfortable and imposing than a. cricketing shirt and a blue serge coat to carry out the impression. He was accompanied by his daughter. Not the least interesting men in the whole gathering were "Gwilym Eryri," New York; and "Gwilym ap Iago," two celebrated bards from the United Stages. After the band, the bards started their usual "endynion," and one of the Weleh- Americati v:"itors contributed to the poetic effusions. The Chairman (Mr. W. Thomas) gave his address, recalling a connection with the Eisteddfod since he was sixteen years of age, when he won a 5s. prize. He urged upon young people to take an interest in literary institu- tions, especially the Eisteddfod. If the youth of this country turned their thoughts to literary pursuits instead of to football, the public-houses would not be so prosperous, the language they heard would not so profane, and the homes would be much happier. Mr. W. Thomas, M.E.. announced his decision in the treatise on "The Classification and Iden- tification of the Seams of Monmouthshire and South Wales." Only one treatise had been received, and the best part of this did not treat on the subject for which the prize was offered. The adjudicator did not agree with the author in several of his classifications, but the subject was so interesting that he was pre- pared to offer at the next National Eisteddfod held in South Wales a prize of £ 40 and a gold medal for the best paper on the subject. The prize of X10 10s. was awarded to "Enellwr os Cyll." Thus the morning wore on, the dust-dry detail* of geology mingling with bright music. For good classical music the 'cello solos were amongst the best of the Eisteddfod, and the adjudicators had no hesitation in awarding the prize to Ivor James, London. When the penillion singing came on, Mr. Rei, Hardie had taken the chair, and, pro- bably, he was p,t a loss to understand the enthusiastic interest which the gathering, now mounting- to crowded proportions, took in the quaint proceedings. A dozen competitors poured forth their penillion to the critical ears of "Eos Dar." Both the North and the South Wales styles were favoured, and the competitors ranged in ages from twelve to 50, but it was some time after the conclusion that the result was announced. The soprano-contralto duet brought some very pretty singers, but the selected pieces, though of extreme difficulty to the singers, hardly appealed to the audience. One was Saint Saen's curiously constructed The Law of the Lord is Perfect," and the singers ap- proached its difficult intervals and harmony rather hesitatingly. The other piece was "Darkness and Light," by Brynceson Tre- harne, and all the singers sang this with greater freedom and effect. The prize of £ 3 was won by Miss Maggie Sambrook (Pontypool) and Miss Maggie Morris (Tonyrefail). For the ladies' quartette there were two parties competing, and the winners were the Misses Maggie Lewis (Cardiff), Maggie Mffrris (Tonyrefail), Maggie Sambrook (Pontypool), and M. E. Jenkins (Llanelly). Atter the bard had been crowned the compe- titions were proceeded with, and five parties came forward in the competition for female choirs of 35 to 40 voices. A prize of X20 was offered for the best rendering of The Lord is my Shepherd (Schubert) and The Spinning Chorus" (Wagner). As in previous competi- tions, the pieces were selected for contrast of range, an dthe competing choirs showed high excellence. They were:—Carmarthen Ladies' Choir (conductor Mr. H. F. Ellingford), Pont- ypridd Ladies' Choir (Miss S. Mordecai), Car- diff Ladies' Choir (Madame H. Rees). Merthyr Cecilia choir (Rev. A. E. Wykes), and Marganwy Ladies Choir (MiEls Morfydd Williams). After excellent singing the prize was won by the Car- marthen Ladies Choir. After the aingmgf "Mabon" Introduced Mr. Kier Hardie, and the hon. member delivered a. brief and appropriate address. THE COMPETITIONS. The first competition was one held over from yesterday, namely, the recitation, and it was won by Mr. Rees Rees, Cardiff. The next, for the troipbone solo, was won by Mr. F. G. Hannay, 'Abergavenny. Three essays on "An Introduction to and Comparative Study of the Mabinogion" were sent in, and the prize of X30 and gold medal were awarded to Mr. Ivor B. John, M.A., the Senior Fellow of the University of Wales, who showed a great knowledge of the latest litera- ture on the subject. Mr. John Evans announced the adjudications in the geological section. For a collection of Welsh grapholites, Mr. E. C. Evans, St. Clears, won the L5 prize, and for a geological map of Wales Mr. E. M. Jenkins, Llansamlet, was awarded £3. A prize of JB7 was offered for a collection of photographs, illustrating the geology of Wales, but only Mr. H. A. Chapman entered. As his collection was too local, the adjudicators awarded only £5. The prize for a collection of specimens of any Welsh coal district was withheld. Contralto Solo. The proceedings had been rather tame up to noon, but when the vocal competitions com- menced the interest was considerably accen- tuated. The contralto solo competition produced thirty young ladies, and everyone of them reached a high standard of excellence. Two difficult and widely differing songs were set for them, one in a quick Spanish measure and the other in the statelier spirit of devotion. The singers who appeared before the audience included a few of Madame Clara Novello Davies's pupils, and one of these, Miss Maggie Lewis, of Llanedarne, Cardiff, won the first prize. A competitor who showed very great promise was Miss Minnie Lewis, Senghenydd, a young lady with plenty of confidence and a great vocal range. Crown Bard. It was half-past two when the ceremony of th-e-day commenced. It was the crowning of the successful bard on the platform. The regalia of the Gorsedd horn, banner, and sword had been brought, and around it the bards collected in their robes of green blue and white. The subject of the poem was The Prince of Peace," and six competitors sub- mitted their compositions. The adjudicators selected the poem of the Rev. John Jenkins (" Gwili "), Pontardulais, a, pupil of Watcyn Wyn." When the decision was announced and the successful poet was called to his feet in the auditorium, great enthusiasm prevailed. Then the picturesque ceremony of crowning the bard commenced. He was escorted into the bardic circle, the band playing The Con- quering Hero" the while, and here he was duly installed as crowned bard by Hwfa Mon," the Archdruid. The bards came forward with complimentary englynion, and the crown. ing song was sung by Madame Eleanor Jones, the vast audience standing and joining in the impressive refrain, Cymru Fydd," valiantly led by Mabon." Meanwhile other adjudications had been decided. The prize of L3 for penillion singing was divided between John Devonald, Mertjliyr Vale, and Miss Mad docks, Treherbert. In poetry the prize for the translation of Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" went to S. D. Roberts, Trealaw; and the prize for the translation of Dickens's "Christmas Carol V went to L. D. Jones. Tuesday's Takings. The figures of Tuesda takings have now been made up. and shoV" JJat £1.236 was taken at the gates (independent >f reserve and season tickets), £ 155 at the con-.ert, and £ 49 at'the art exhibition. art exhibition. Following the contraltos came the tenors, for whom was set the difficult cavatina from Gounod's "Faust." It was a piece in which a good tenor would revel, but it wanted a good tenor to interpret the exquisite passages of the song. The test of tests was the double C, and for one of the competitors this was disastrous. The others approached it cau- tiously, and only one strained at it with the natural voice.. Two of the four singers who natural voice.. Two of the four singers who sang to tlie audience were close, and the fine, mellow phrasing of Mr. Richard Thomas, of Llanelly, /was very noticeable. Dr. Parry and his co-adjudicators decided to divide the prize between Messrs. Richard Thomas and David James, Beaufort.

The Foiice-courts. -1 CARDIFF. (Before Alderman DAVID JONES and Alder. man JOSEPH RAMSDALE.) MAN AND DOG FIGHT. Elizabeth Ann O'Donovan, 41, was charged with violently assaulting and wounding John Tucker on the head with a poker at Buzzard- street.-Prosecntor, a labourer, appeared with his head bandaged. He said that on the pre- vious afternoon prisoner's dog came into his house and wanted to stay there. Witness seized a piece of iron to turn out the intruder, and the dog bit him three times. Outside the iron fell out of his hand, and prisoner picked it up and struck him on the head with it.- Prisoner denied the assault, sta,ting that all she did was to wrench the poker out of the prosecutor's hand. Other witnesses were called, one of them being Police-constable Dan Thomas, who arrested prisoner at her residence, 8, Buzzard- street. Dr. James Thompson proved that the wound was an inch long and extended to the skull. and was caused by some blunt instrument. Prisoner called a witness, who supported the statement she had made. It was reported that prisoner had been up before 38 times-on several occasions for assault. She was sent for two months with hard labour. PENARTH. THIS DAY.—(Before Mr. J. S. BATCHELOR, Colonel THORNLEY, Mr. S. A. BRAIN, and Mr D. MORGAN.) DISORDERLY WOMEN. For disorderly conduct on the highway, Catherine Curtain, an old offender, was fined 5s., or seven days in default. Julia Webber, who was charged with being drunk and disorderly on the 27th ult., pleaded she had not had a drop to drink.—The Bench, however, took the version of two police-con- stables, and fined her 5s., including costs. DRUNKS. The August Bank Holiday seemed to have a bad effect upon the sobriety of the residents of Penarth, for an unusual number appeared to answer charges of being drunk and disor- derly, and were dealt with as follows:- Thomas Kent and William Couch, 7s. 6d. each; Edwin Ellis (Channel pilot), Charles Prosser, and James Kirk 5s. OBSCENE LANGUAGE. George Hartland, of Penarth, was fined 5s. for using obscene language on the highway at Eastbrook. CRUELTY TO DONKEYS. Henry Vizard, seventeen, Cosan, and Robert Harwood, fifteen, Penarth, were each fined 5s. for cruelty to donkeys by beating them at Penarth Beach on the 25th ult.-Inspector Hay- thorn, Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, proved the charge. NEWPORT. THIS DAY—(Before Mr. A. J. STEVENS, Mr. T. GORDEY, Mr. G. GREENLAND, the ex- mayor), and Mr. T. CANNING.) HOLIDAY CHARGES. There was a long list of holiday cases, arising, as the charge-sheet showed, from drink and leading on to broils. A large pro- portion of the accused persons were women. Joseph" Farrell, a well-known Newport character, told the bench that it was never too late to mend, and that he should sign the pledge. It seems pretty late to mend in his case after 25 convictions for drunkenness.-He was given the opportunity of being a teetotaler for a month at Usk Prison. A TWO-O'CLOCK-IN-THE-MORNING AFFAIR. William Crowden, a soldier, who is on work- ing furlough, living in Power-street, was charged in custody with an aggravated assault upon Margaret Tapping, who did not appear.—Mr. Digby Powell, who appeared foi the defence, represented that it was a two- o'clock-in-the-morning affair. Whilst defen- dant was going home early in the morning two women interfered with him, and struck him. He pushed Tapping down.—Police-ser- geant Graves said the complainant was ren- dered unconscious, and was still in bed under a doctor's care.—As she was too ill to appear defendant was remanded on bail. A GOOD-HUMOURED ENEMY. Two men, named Andrew Clarke, staying at the Model Lodging-house, and Frederick Hughes, of 46, Dean-street, were charged with fighting in Dock-street.-They didn't deny having had a few rounds, and were fined 5s. each.-Clarke, a big, buriy, red-haired man, was going down to the cells below, apparently unable to pay, when Hughes, standing ttt the other end of the dock, thrust his hand deep into his pocket, and, shouting, How much are you short, Ginger?" pulled out enough money to satisfy both fines. ALLEGED EMBEZZLEMENT. William Campbell M'Kay, a tall, well-dressed young fellow, aged 23, living at 1, Crindall- hill, formerly employed as book-keeper and collector for Mr. E. Perman, plumber and sanitary engineer, Dock-street, was charged with embezzling four sums of money belong- ing to his employer, viz., 9s. 8d., lis., 12, and £1 2s. 6d. Mr. L H. Hornby appeared for the prosecution; Mr. W. L. Moore defended. Mr. Hornby said he was not in a position to proceed with the case of the jEl 2s. 6d. that day owing to the absence of witnesses. The 9s. 8d. was received from Mr. Treharne Howell on June 3, the 1110. was received from Mr. W. E. Jones, of the Windsor Castle Inn, Dock-street, and the z62 from Mr. Enoch Barwell, 95, Alma- street. Mr. Moore, in cross-examination of the prose- cutor, mentioned that prisoner was an ex- Guardsman, who had been invalided home from the front with enteric fever after having gone through fourteen engagements and been wounded twice. Defendant went into the witness-box, and denied that he had taken any of the money. He was, however, convicted by the magis- trates, who fined him z65 in each of the three cases, or a month's imprisonment for each offence. PONTYPRIDD. THTS DAY.—(Before Mr. Stipendiary WIL- LIAMS and Aldermen RICHARD LEWIS and W. H. MATHIAS.) BREAKING INTO A COLLIERY OFFICE. Two brothers from Ynysybwl, George Llewelyn Gardener and Rhys Gardener, were charged with breaking and entering the National Colliery Offices, Wattstown, on Sun- day evening, July 28. Walter T. Griffiths, cashier at the collieries, deposed to having locked up the premises safely on the Sunday in question, but on Monday morning he found the windows broken, and his drawers drawn out and rummaged. There was no money missing. Inspector Gill said the lads admitted the offence. They were visiting their grand- mother at Wattstown. The Bench ordered the elder defendant, George, to receive twelve strokes with the birch, and the other six strokes. IN THE WRONG HOUSE. How a Tylorstown collier got a "booze" on the cheap was explained in the case in which Henry Arthur Lewis, Tylorstown, was charged with breaking and entering into the house of Alfred Reynolds, 25, Penrhys-road, Tylorstown, on Tuesday. Reynolds and the lodger left the house in the morning, leaving the door on the latch. The lodger returned in the evening, and found defendant lying on the sofa drunk. The four- and-a-half gallon cask of beer, which was nearly full that morning, was now empty, and a lot of it was on the floor. Some cake was also missing from the pantry. Later in the evening the family returned and defendant was given in charge. He explained to the police that he was going to see a "butty" who lived next door, and went into the wrong house. The magistrates reduced the charge to one of larceny, and imposed a fine of 30a., or three weeks at Cardiff. MOTHERS-IN-LAW AGAIN. George Downes, 16, Bridge-street, Havod, and his wife, who now resides at 26, Henry-street, Hopkinstown, appeared to explain their dif- ferences, the wife charging the former with persistent cruelty. Mr. Thomas Phillips appeared for Mrp. Downes, and Mr. J. Colenso Jones for defen- dant. The latter explained that his client was pre- pared to contribute to his wife's maintenance, and wanted the custody of the child. The two mothers-in-law appeared, and for a time waxed eloquent as to who was to blame. Eventually the Stipendiary moved the closure, and made a maintenance order of 10s. a week, giving the husband the custody of the child. A VIOLENT COLLIER. Henry Summers, a one-eyed collier at Pentre, was charged with wounding his wife and assaulting Police-constable W. E. Rees on Fri- day night last. The wife said he came home on Friday night, and after a few words he struck her twice in the mouth. Police-conatable Rees, hearing cries of "Murder," got into the house, but no sooner had he done so than defendant showed fight and gave him a warm time of it, hitting, kicking, and biting as he could. Police-con- stable Rees got him on the bed, and eventually was master of the situation In court, as usual, the wife said that when her husbanl was sober he was "as good as gold." The charge of wounding was reduced to assault, and defendant was bound over to keep the peace and pay the costs. For assaulting the nolice-constable be, was fined 401:

TP-Dim CRICKET, MONMOUTHSHIRE V. WILTSHIRE;. THE HOME COUNTY DO BADLY. The fifth county fixture of the Monmouth county team was begun at Newport on Wednes- day. The previOlte fixtures have all ended badly for the county, rain having prevented the completion of the game8 with M.C-C. and Devonshire, while Glamorgan have twice defeated them in a single innings. Wiltshire were formerly annual opponents of Monmouth- shire, and generally proved too hot for them, but on the occasions of the last meetings each side won its home match. Wiltshire came fresh from their innings defeat at Cardiff, where they had been dismissed for 78 and 133, against 223 scored by Glamorgan. Their team was the same as figured in that match with one excep- J tion, H. Cobb taking the place of Martin. The home eleven was not at all the best possible, G. LI. Lloyd, A. C. Tatham, and A. J. Gould being absent, while Silverlock was not up to the mark. The Marlborough College players (N. C. Phillips and E. S. Phillips) again ap- peared for their county, and there were great hopes of their playing un to their college repu- tations. Rogers and Coulson (Bedfordshire) were the umpires. The wicket was in good order, but the weather was dull and threaten- ing. For the first time this season Stedman won the toss. and he decided to bat first. At 11.45 the game was started, Silverlock and E. S. Phillips going to the wickets, while Overton and Miller shared the bowling. In the third over the first wicket fell, and, unfortunately for the- homesters, it was Silverlock who was dismissed, being clean bowled by Overton with the score at 6. N. C. Phillips took His place, and quickly raised the score to 31. but disaster prevailed, and, in trying to get his third boun- dary, he was smartly caught, at extra mid-oil, by the Wilts captain. Hit brother, P. C. Phillips, took his place, and the 50 went up after half an hour's play. Smith then went on fox. Overton, and with his third ball dis- missed P. C. Phillips, before another run had been mad-e-50-3-16. Frank Rees had only one hit—that a splendid cut for 5-before he tipred a ball from Smith, which was touched, but not held, by the wicket-keeper, and found a resting-place in Smart's hands. Only a few resting-place in Smart's hands. Only a few minutes' play ensued before H. Creese was out He was well caught at short leg by Overton, off Smart. With half the wickets down, were looking bad, and they were worse when D. Harris, after hitting one for 2, succumbed to a straight one from Smart. The home captain went to try his luck, only to see his partner dismissed, Lb. w., after batting an hour for 16 runs-68-7-16. Hudden had a short life, and helped to raise the total to 80. when he was bowled, off his pads. Brewer was tenth man in, and lasted just over five minutes before he hooked a ball from Smart high into the air. only to be held by Miller, at mid-on— 81-9-1. Steeples went to the wickets just after one o'clock, but he failed to imorove the situa- tion, and a few minutes later he played on to Smart, and the whole side was out for 90. N C Phillips was top scorer, with only 19, and vla-y had lasted only eighty minutes. Score:— MONMOUTHSHIRE. First innings. Second innings. Silverlock, b Overton 4 E. S. Phillips, 1 b w, b Smith 16 N.

A late start was made in the return engage- ment with the above elevens, the teams not taking the field until 12.25 to-day, the previous match, played at Cowbridge, being drawn in .favour of the home team. Cardiff had not their strongest eleven, the Brothers Brain. Mr. J. G. Clark, and Mr. J. P. Cadogan being absent. The visitors, however, were strengthened by the inclusion of Creber. The attendance was miserable, only a, few spectators being present when the match commenced. The home team won the to so, sending m G. E. Cording and C. Colley to the bowling of Creber and Rosse;. Scoring at the outset was quiet, both batsmen being content with singles. Settling down they both hit freely, but, with the score at 20, R us Pel bowled Colley all over his wicket-20-1- 9. N. Riches followed, and Cording continued to play freelv, finding the boundary repeatedly. but with the total at 35 Russel found a way to his wicket. E. E. Hill suc- ceeded, but without any addition to the total Riches was easily captured at point by A. G. Thackeray (who was fielding as sub.) off Creber -35-3-4. The younger Lowe followed in. but did not stay long, being out I b w to Russel, who was bowling with great effect, his last three overs having taken two wickets for two runs—40—4—5. P. F. Bush now joined Hill, who had not opened his account, seemingly being content with keeping his wicket intact. The total at the luncheon interval was 51 for four wickets. The luncheon interval wa.s extended, the players not taking the field until 2.35. The not-outs, P. F. Bush and E. E. Hill, continued their innings, to the bowling,of Creber and Russell. Bush soon gave evidence of his hitting propensities, taking the noted Swansea and Glamorgan slow bowler for 18 runs in his second over. After the interval Hill continued to play steadily. Bush, on the other .hand, treating Creber with the utmost contempt, scoring boundaries nearly off every" ball. Although only 9 at the interval, he actually scored his 50, so fierce was his hitting, in twenty minutes, sending the 100 up after an hour and twenty minutes' play. Without any addition to the total, Bush took a liberty with one of Russell's insidious balls, and had his stumps 7 spread-eagle'd—112-5-56. The retiring batsman had contributed his runs n quite a Jessopian manner. Included in his score were nine 4's. A. Gibson, who, in the absence of the captain and vice, "captained" the team, followed on, but with the score at 126 the acting captain was very smartly taken at the wicket by the Rev. H. Nicholl, off Russell-126-6-3. Nash suc- ceeded, with whose advent the run-getting increased, the incimer making several good strokes. With the total at 156, Nash, who had made 22 out of the 30 during his stay, was out I b w to Russell—156-7-22. R. Rconey now joined Hill, who was still playing his stone-walling game.

Although the weather was dull at Leeds this morning, it promised to keep fine, and some 4,000 people went up to Headingley to see the final stage of Brown's benefit match. Lanca- shire yesterday had scored 329 for four wickets, in response to Yorkshire's 319. Ward (not out 35) and Hallows (not out 10) were opposed by Hirst and Rhodes. With fourteen runs added Hirst bowled Hallows, and Sharp joined Ward, who completed his 100 after batting four houra and twenty minutes. Sharp made three fine strokes off Rhodes. Play became extremely slow, Ward not sooring for tt?enty-six minutes, and then being finely caught at slip for 100, scored in four "hours and three-quarters. He hit nine 4's. Score: — YORKSHIRE.

At the Oval yesterday the Notts eleven never let slip from their grasp the advantage they had gained on the opening day. and when pia-y ceased the home side were in a very bad posi- tion. Going in a second time 123 runs behind, they had lost five of their best batsmen for 150, and were thus onlv 27 runs to the good. The weather was beautifullv fine this morning when Hajrwajcd Hot owt. 49) and Crawford con- 1 tinued Surrey's innings to the bowling of Hallam and Dixon. For a time the batsmen played with great confidence, but at 179 Hay- ward was taken at cover-point. He was bat- ting an hour and fifty minutes, and hit ten 4's. The Surrey innings realised 265, leaving Notts 144 to win. Jones and Iremonger started the batting for Notts, and by brilliant hitting on the part of Jones the runs were obtained without loss, Notts gaining a decisive victory by ten wickets. Score:- SURREY.

MIDDLESEX. Delightful weather favoured the commence- ment of the concluding day's play at Taunton this morning, but there were not a great num- ber of people present. The overnight state of affairs had left Somerset with an advantage, as Middlesex, with two wickets down in their second innings, were still 51 runs behind. R. Douglas and Robertson, the not outs with 30 and 12 respectively, continued the innings at 11.35. Oranfield and Gill bowling. Both bats- men, however, soon settled down, and. though they did not score at a great pace, they put on runs steadily. Woods being compelled to frequently change his bowling. Robertson. when 44, was miesed at slip by Braund off Robson. The batsmen completed their 50's in the same over, but then, at 128, Douglas played on. He batted in praiseworthy style for just over two hours, and hit seven 4's. The partnership was very useful, 115 runs being added in two hours. After 'Douglas left Robertson continued to play well, but once or twice he was beaten. He and Bosanquet stayed together until 1.30. when luncheon was taken with the score at 159 for three wickets.

Possessed of a lead of 121 runs, Essex entered upon their second innings at Canterbury this morning at half-past eleven. Delightful weather prevailed, but the attendance showed a falling off from tbat of the previous days. Faa«. going in with Carpenter, was saugbt, behind the wicket, in Bradley's first- over. On Perrin joining Carpenter, runs came freely, the score reaching 50 in half an hour. Perrin had a lot of luck, being twice let off in the slips. in making 17, but Carpenter batted finely. With runs wanted quickly, the batsmen were quite right to take risks. Carpenter left at 61. In the face of the two disasters, M'Gahey and Turner played very carefully, both being considerably troubled by Hearne's leg breaks. Still, they not only kept in, but scored steadily, and the 100 appeared at the end of eighty minutes' cricket. When set, they hit with greater freedom, especially Turner. He. how- ever, was caught, at the wicket, at 143. the fourth witfket having added 76 in sixty-five minutes, and then followed such a startling change that at lunch seven wickets were down for 167. Play went on for a few minutes after lunch, but, with the dismissal of Russell, finely caught at slip, Lucas declared. Kent were set 298 to get to win in three hours. Score:- ESSEX. First innings.

I WARWICKSHIRE V. WORCESTERSHIRE. WARWICKSHIRE GAINS AN EASY VICTORY. Lovely weather prevailed in Birmingham when this match was resumed this morning. Worcestershire, with nine wickets in hand, required 224 runs to save the innings defeat, and went on batting with Pearson and H. K. Foster to the bowling of Hargreave and Quaife. With nothing to play for but a draw, the batting was very slow, ana the total had only progressed to 24 when Foster was caught and bowled lew down by Quaife. Pearson. after batting an hour for eiglii, singles, was bril- liantly caught and bowled. R. E. Foster and Arnold batted extremely well, and greatly improved the prospects of the visitors. Field relieved Hargreave. but runs continued to come steadily. Arnold making two nice strokes to leg off the ftbst bowler.
