CURRENT SPORT. At Old Trafford Surrey were defeated ra the Country Cricket Championship by Lancn h're by nine wickets. This result was due to the bowling of Webb, who secured seven wickets. Lockwood gallantly tried to save his side from defeat 'The game between Yorkshire and Warwick- shire, at Birmingham, ended in a drawn game, only one innings aside having been played when stumps were pulled up. Had it not been for a brilliant innings of 118 not out by W. CI. the home side might have been disposed of twice in one day and beaten. At Oatfcrd, Notts accomplished a fine performance in draw- ing with Kent, for, after following on, they scored 420 for nine wickets, then declaring their innings closed. Kent only had two hours in which to obtain 230 runs, and when stumps were drawn they had recorded 125 for three wickets. A great stand by Shrewsbury and Carlin saved Notts from defeat. At Taunton, Somersetshire easily defeated the South African team by 228 runs. W. Shalders, with 103, and E. A. Halliwell, with 92, made an effort to save the side from defeat. It is pleasing to state that Johnny Briggs is not, only much better but is also in good batting form. Last week, playing for Cheadle Asylum against a local team, he scored 120 not out. He is improv- ing very much in health, and hopes are entertained of his complete recovery. Lord Alverstone, the Rev. W. B. Webster (rector of All Souls, Langham-place), the Hon. T. A. W. Pelham, Mr. Quintin Hogg, Sir John Aird (Mayor of Paddington), and many others witnessed the inter-Polytechnic championships at Paddington Recreation Grounds, on Saturday. The Sir Owen Roberts challenge shield, to be held by the institute winning the highest number of marks, was won, as in the two previous years, by the Regent-street Poly- technic, who proved to be stronger in the cycling way (thanks to the successes of J. E. Harter in the mile, C. B. Haysom, in the lap," and B. C. Whur in the five miles cycling races) than in the running and field events, though L. P. Tremeer's 100 yards in 10 3-5sec. and W. E. Gurney's mile in 4min. 87 4-5sec. were meritorious performances. E. J. Ottery, of the Northampton Institute, won the quarter of a mile in 53 4-5see.; A. J. McHutchin, of the same institute, won the high jump at 5ft. 6in. and the long jump at 18ft. 9in.; and A. G. Horne, also of the Northampton Institute, won the three miles race in 15min. 42 l-5sec. A half- mile cycling handicap for institute clubs was won by H. G. O. Brown (Regent-street Polytechnic), 100 yards start, in Imin. 1 l-5sec. and a half-mile running handicap, also for institute clubs, went to P. W. Arnaud (Regent-street), 65 yards start, in Imin. 57 4-5see. Lord Alverstone distributed the prizes.. In the London and Southern Counties Bowling Association Challenge Shield's first round compe- tition a match took place, on Saturday afternoon, between Brownswood B.C. (holders) and Bounds Green B.C., on the green of the latter, which was in capital condition. The scores were: Browns- wood, 65; Bounds Green, 51, giving a majority of 14 in favour of the visiting team. The Irish team to visit London July 6-10 have received invitations to play from the Bounds-green, South London, Bromley, and Upper Clapton Clubs. The first batch of N.C.U. championships at Bristol on Saturday attracted thousands of specta- tors, and some highly interesting racing was seen. It fell to the lot of an Irish rider in C. Pease, of the Dublin Wanderers, to win the mile, in which, owing to his recent accident, the holder (W. A. Edmonds, of Bristol) could not participate. Pease was followed home by his fellow-clubman, R. Reynolds, who was only a wheel away, but well ahead of the third man, H. W. Payne, West Roads and Putney A.C. Time, 2min. 41 3-5sec. That good sportsman, A. S. Ingram, of the Poly- technic C.C., who stood a chance of winning out- right the Corporation Cup at the Crystal Palace en the same day, sacrificed his prospects of win- ning the valuable prize in order to compete for championship honours. Although, like R. Janson, A. L. Reed, and others, unsuccessful in the mile, he had the satisfaction of winning the quarter after a fine race with R. Reynolds (Dublin), who only lost by half a yard. Time, 32 2-5sec., a long way inside the time limit, which was fixed at 40sec. H, T. Allen (Bristol Wheelers) was third. R. W. Wadsley (Unity A.C.), the 100 yards and quarter-mile amateur champion of 1899, was in grand form at the Leicester Fosse Football Club's sports on Saturday. He won the level 100 yards race in lOsec., thus equalising the British record ferformances of himself, A. Wharton, A. R. >owner, C. A. Bradley, F. W. Cooper, C. R. Thomas, and A. F. Duffy at the distance. Wadsley emphasised his good running on Saturday by giving a two-yards beating to the Scottish ex- champion, J. McLean, and also by finishing third from the virtual scratch mark of two yards in the 120 yards handicap. Continuing their Scottish programme, James Braid (Romford) (open champion), J. H. Taylor (Mid-Surrey), and Harry Vardon (Scarborough) "played over the golf links of the Irvine Club on Saturday. Willie Fernie, of Troon, made up the quartette. The last-named was matched against Taylor and he began by winning the first hole. Taylor squared the match at the fourth hole, lost the next, and won the sixth. Losing the ninth he started for home one down, his score being 42 to 41. Three halves were followed by a win for Fernie at the 13th. He lost the 16th but, winning the 17th, he secured the match by 2 up and 1 to play. Their scores were: Fernie 77, Taylor 79. In the match between Braid and Vardon, the champion started well by winning the first two and eighth holes, and he turned for home with a lead of 2. Vardon lost the 10th, won the 14th, and, taking 7 for the 16th, lost the match by 3 and 2, winning two holes on the bye. Scores Braid 78. Vardon 80. In the afternoon the best ball of Taylor and Vardon beat the best ball of Braid and Fernie by 3 and 2, the latter couple winning the bye. Scores: Taylor and Vardon 70, Braid and Fernie 72.

The Beckenham Lawn Tennis Tournament was fought to a successful conclusion on Saturday afternoon, when the chief events were the finals of the Kent All-Comers' Championships, the holders of which during the past 12 months have been Mr. A. W. Gore and Mrs. Greville. The challengers this year were Mr. H. L. Doherty (in the Gentle- men's Singles) and Miss ,D. K. Douglas (in the Ladies' Singles), both of whom managed to beat the holders in the final rounds. Special interest attached to the Invitation Doubles contest, in which Messrs. R. F. and H. L. Doherty were matched against Messrs. Dwight, F. Davis, and Holcombe Ward two Americans, whose play 'during the tournament had been conspicuous by the surprising manner in which they broke the balls, and it caused some excitement when these adepts at the game were beaten. The second round of the all-comers' competition For the M.C.C. tennis prizes was concluded at Lord's on Saturday. E. H. Miles (amateur cham- pion) beating H. E. Crawley for the challenge racquets by three sets to nil. Score: 6-3.6-3, 6--3. J. B. Gribble and Sir Edward Grey, Bart., M.P., are the respective holders of the gold and silver trophies. In an exhibition tennis match at Queen's Club, West Kensington, Peter Latham beat Cecil ("Punch") Fairs (receives 15 and a bisque) by three sets to nil. Score: 6-1, 6-2.9-7. The match was for the benefit of the champion, who is shortly severing his connection with the club's tennis and racquet staff. Some important swimming matches were decided on Saturday. Lewisham entertained Cambridge University, but did by no means best, as, although they managed to draw in the polo match, two goals each. the Light Blues won the team race. At Kennington Oval on Monday Worcestershire compiled 309 runs in their first innings, and when stumps were drawn on the first day Surrey had 91 without loss. Rain interfered with play a Southampton during Monday, but still Leicester shire were enabled to make 326 for six wickets, the feature of the innings being a fine contribu- tion of 131 by King. The M.C.C. had only a weak team opposed to the Minor Counties at Lord's on Monday, and were all disposed of for 149, Thompson, of Northants (who is qualifying for Kent), taking nine wickets for 59 runs. Before the drawing of stumps the Minor Counties compiled 322 for the loss of seven wickets. Silverlock, of Monmouthshire, being responsible for 80; and they are now 173 in front, with three wickets in hand. At Brighton, on Monday, Notts gave a great account of them- selves against Sussex, scoring 453 for four wickets before stumps were drawn, a result mainly due to a magnificent innings of 249 by A. O. Jones. The Tonbridge cricket week opened on Monday with a match between Kent and Middlesex. Thanks to a capital 79 by Mason, the home county totalled 284 in their first innings, Middlesex responding with 21 without loss. Against Essex, at Leeds, Yorkshire did not do any too well on Monday, as they were all dis- posed of in their first venture for 252. To this the Metropolitans responded with 61 for one wicket. At Bristol, Gloucestershire went in first on Monday, and on a good wicket only made 239, of which Gilbert Jessop was responsible for 93, during which he completed his 1000 runs for the season. When stumps were drawn on Monday Derbyshire had lost three wickets, but are only 90 runs behind. I The cricket at the Crystal Palace in the match between Cambridge University and Londop County, on Monday, was tame and uninteresting. The Light Blues batted first, and kept their oppo- nents in the field all day, scoring 320 against the weak bowling for the loss of nine wickets. W. P. Robertson was too scorer with 78. At Kennington Oval, on Tuesday, Surrey con- tinued their first innings against Worcestershire, and scored the big total of 473, of which Abel made 138, and Mr. Crawford 159. Starting with 164 of arrears against them, the visitors had lost five wickets for 109 runs in their second innings when play ceased on the second day. At Ton- bridge, on Tuesday, Middlesex carried their first innings' score against Kent to 425, or 191 ahead; and the home team ob- tained 96 in their second innings at the cost of three wickets. The match at Leeds between Yorkshire and Essex came to a speedy conclusion on the second day. On Monday the visitors had made 61 with only one wicket down; but on Tues- day Rhodes and Haigh proved practically unplay- able on a pitch which had been affected by rain during the night. The remaining nine wickets fell for the addition of only 36 runs; and, having to follow on against an adverse balance of 155, Essex were dismissed in their second innings for 95, leaving Yorkshire victorious by an innings and 60 runs. At Brighton, Notts continued on Tuesday their first innings against Sussex, and declared the innings closed when the score stood at 642 for seven wickets. The home team, at the close of the second day's play, had lost eight wickets for 263 runs. Derby- shire completed their first innings against Glouces- tershire on Tuesday at Bristol for 463, of which Mr. Wright contributed 155 and Chatterton 168. Gloucestershire, with arrears of 224 to make up, had lost five wickets for 171 when play ceased on the second day. At Southampton, Leicester- shire's first innings against Hampshire was finished for 371, and the home team replied with 336. Starting their second innings 35 to the good, Leicestershire made 34 at the cost of one wicket before stump drawing on Tuesday. At the Crystal Palace, Cambridge University carried their first innings' total against London County to 347, and London County, scoring heavily in their turn, made on Tuesday 486 for six wickets, in- cluding 108 by W. G. Quaife and 124 not out by W. Smith. A combination of representatives of Minor Counties defeated an eleven of M.C.C. at Lords on Tuesday by ten wickets. I
