Lively Play on Both Sides, , When_ Nottinghamshire resumed their second innings, the weather was , and the wicket fast. The' attendance was Bmall.' Gregory was suffering from a cold, and iWhitty fielded in his placo. men, W'olls and Snell, playing lively cricket, carried the county's overnight score (175) t0'217; then Wells was brilliantly. ; caugbt by Ransford, running, off O'Connor, :ow d°wn at long-on.

Essex team to play against the Australians is as follows;—• vtt^ L A Fm : 0 ' Porrin, J. W. 11. T. Douglas, Rev._l'. H. Gillingham, Major A- W.' Mead, Hi Young, A. H Read, C. P. Buckenbam, and J. Freeman. NOTES ON.THE PLAY.. ; Northamptonshire was . defeated by- nine wickets—one more than was anticipated in yesterday s Dominion. W. A. Buswell, the' keeper of the. team, put on 31, which caused the, Australians to visit tho; crease twice durinsr the day. Last season Bnswell's highest contribution was 59 against Lancashire. He has done well to, notch _his present.figures when facing ithe_bowlers of the Australian Eleven. ■ tTo m l '? ,i l . as . obtained his second wore ot 63. Iho batting-averago of this fine batsman is now 101.Cotter's, none for 63 (second mninp) is not encouraging for tho fast bowler at this juncture of- tho tour,' aud beforo this ;raonth is_ out the Sydney'man will be opposed to a much stronger opposition than the Northamptonshire' batsmen. Armstrong and O'Connor bowled up..to recent form. The respective ! readings are. 5 for 57 and 3 fijr 30. Essex. ; ' With the-exception of the Rev. P. H Gilliugham, P. L. Pane, J. Froemaq, and Major : A. J.-Turner, each ,of the remainder of' the eleven can do a little with the bail. H. Young only took part in two matches;for his count? last season. This player is a product of the navy,' and made a great impression on the Essex authorities in 1693. Young becamo a regular member of the team in' 1899, in'd in the Test_ matohes at Leeds • and Manchester captured. 12 wickets for, 21 runs apiece. Buckenharn's performance in the gamo-nowdn progress will be followed with interest bv'local players on account of his applying for tho. position of "coach " to the. Wellington Cricket Association.. The batting and bowling figures for last season of the remainder of the team were published, last Monday morning. , r HAYWARD-HOBBS. ; A GREAT SURREY PARTNERSHIP. London, May 12.
