HUTHWAITE.

L. Smith, left half (Huthwaite Villa), and Robinson, right half (Huthwaite United), both had a trial with Denaby United on Saturday. They gave a good display and were invited to another trial this week-end.

August is observed as a real holiday as far as public business is concerned. During the month no meetings are held by the Urban District Council, the members of which return refreshed to their labours in September. Public work imposes a good many duties and responsibilities on those who are willing to devote themselves to it, and it takes up a large amount of time into the bargain, on that one month's leisure out of the twelve is a welcome break for those affected.

Ill-luck still pursues New Hucknall in their cricket matches. At Hardwick on Thursday evening they expected to be up against a stiff proposition, and, to make matters worse, the visitors had some difficulty in gathering a team. It was hardly a matter for surprise, therefore, that the home batsmen hit freely, and were able to declare at 166 for six wickets. F. Ellis gave a capital display, his 74 runs including 12 fours. Vardy did remarkably well as a New Hucknall trundler, taking three wickets for 15 runs. The visitors never had a look in and were all dismissed for 86, the last six wickets putting on only 12 runs. Vardy was the most prominent figure with the bat also, and compiled 22.

At Welbeck, on Saturday, the New Hucknall eleven gave an improved display with the bat, after a very poor start. Two wickets were down for seven runs, but the tail wagged a little more vigorously than usual, and the innings closed for 104. With Welbeck at the wickets, the visitors' bowling badly lacked "sting," and the home team won with eight wickets in hand, 58 not out by Deakin and 29 not out by Hickinbottom being the chief factors. G. Dobb took two wickets for 27 runs, the second wicket falling at 56. Welbeck had an easy victory at Huthwaite, but not quite so easy as the previous Saturday's win..
