Tho scores in this match were:—Yorkshire, first innings, 119; second innings, 230 (Oldroyd 77, Robinson 54). Sussex, first innings, 87; second innings, 239 (Bowley 105). Macaulay's average was seven for 67. Yorkshire thus won by 23 runs. Playing against Notts, Middlesex in their first innings made 175 (Hendren 71), and in their second 260 (Hearne 52).

The British representatives, however, all came through the second round. Misses McKano and Fry were most impressive. Quick and decisivo results were tho rule iu most of the singles, but the period of easy victories now appears to bo over. Of the 16 players, who survived the second round 10 are of representative rank. The others include Miss Ryan, who, it is conceded, has an even chance for the title with Misses Wills, McKano and Penelope Anderson, of Virginia. Mrs. Bundy defeated another promising Californian, Miss Charlotte Hbsmer, 2—6, 6—4, 6—3. Mrs. Bundy, tho 1905 champion, appears to be playing with her old craft and speed. Her next match will bo with Miss Wills,
