Tho match was abandoned owing to a thunderstorm. The /attendance at the third day of tho Yorkshire match at Bradford was small. It had rained overnight and tho wicket was easy. It required constant attention from the batsmen and a libeil.il supply of sawdust on the bowlers run. Crawford’s bowling was slower than the first day, but showed improvement on yesterday. He had Collins twice beaten with a break and Gregory when seven, was badly missed by Douglas at deep point off Oldroyd. Wl.uldington and Oldroyd were not difficult to play and the scire nounted by a succession of singles with a few bigger hits. When lie was seventy-three. Collins sent Douglas to leg the ball going through Oldroyd's bands. Immediately afterwards, lie de•larod the innings closed. Collins knock included nine fours. The Australian skipper bad given i display of excellent timing.

Gregory and Richardson opened tno attack in Yorkshire’s second strike which was opened by Leyland and Mitchell. Before the latter opened score ho was badly missed by Ryder at first slip off Gregory, an d.isy straight catch to hands. The batsmen then dug themselves in and took no risks. Richardson opened with six successive maidens and the first nine overs produced only six singles off Gregory and two byes. When the total was nineteen, rain which had threatened all the morning compelled a halt. Only three more overs were played before lunch and during the interval a thunderstorm arrived and the match was abandoned.

He pulled and drove Kilner to the boundary and turned MaoJuiey to the leg boundary. The pace of scoring brought on Allen and'"Wool ley who were treated more respectfully, though Hearne and Tyldesley both got Woolley to the boundary. These batsmen played attractively ; and vigI orcusly ami gained runs steadily. I They wore not greatly troubled by the bowling. When they had carried the total to 222, Hearne was caught nt first slip. The fielding was excellent. Tate bowling superbly got no assistance from the wicket. He dismissed Shepherd and Dulecpisinglii quickly. With tho hoard showing 24S for 5, Jupp joined Tyldesley and quickly got his eye in. He cut Macaulev arid drove TJilo splendidly. He batted for twenty- minutes. Tyldesley was in for one hundred minutes and made no mistake. Ho displayed powerful driving and clean leg strokes. He hit eight fours. Kugland opened badly. losing Holmes and Hobbs in three overs for two runs. Woolley and Carr improved the position and took the score to thirty-one by means of hard drives till Carr was ; dismissed, alter hitting the first six of the match. In attempting a second . big hit, he was well taken at mid-off. Woolley and Hendrcn wore careful, the latter being nt the wicket a quarter of an hour before lie opened. He then drove Jupp. to the sight screen for six, nflr which both continued to drive powerfully. Hearne at length forced Woolley to play a. ball on to the wicekt. dissolving the partnership which ldded eighty-eight in sixtyfivc minutes. M'tcr Chapman had been clean bowled me run later, the time remaining was utilised in practice. The mntih was drawn.
