61.711P.EY V. NOTIINGI

At a quarter past 12 to-day these celebrated
elevens resumed their match at the Oval, the weather
being quite as hot as any we have experienced during
the summer. Daft with 18 and Summers with 42
were the " not outs" of last night, and they were to-day
opposed by the bowling of Southerton and Griffith.
Daft drove Griffith's first ball to the off for 4,
and by very careful play the score was increased
to 100, which elicited a cr from the Notta sympathisers.
With the total of 106, Griffith gave up the ball to Sewell.

THREE 0. CLOCK.

Daft and Summers kept together for some time, but at
length were separat, and after their departure no further
stand was made by the Notts men, so that shortly before
half-past 2 the last wicket fell with the score at 166, or
76 in arrear of that of Surrey.

LATLOSIO2i OF d LOCONOTIVE.-THREE
NEN HURT.

Yesterday morning, between six and seven
o'clock, a powerful engine on the Lancashire and York.
shire Railway exploded at Sowerby Bridge tunnel, scalding
John Perry, the driver, of Ruskin-street, Liverpool, and
Frederick Thistlewaite, the stoker, of Liverpool, and
likewise injuring by the shock the guard, William
Hargreaves, of Awton. The men were in charge of a
luggage train from Huddersfield to Liverpool. The train,
a heavy one, reached Sowerby Bridge shortly after six
o'clock, picked up a few waggons, took in water, and
then proceeded. The train, however, had not got above
three hundred yards when the boiler of the locomotive
exploded in the tunnel. The shock appears to have
been tremendous. The engine was rent into pieces, the
brass cupola being blown quit* awn y. Some plate/Ayers,
who were in the tunnel at a hundred yards distance, were
thrown down by the concussion, and a tree knocked down
at the end of the tunnel, 200 yards away. Over the
tunnel is the cemetery of the Sowerby Bridge Local
Board, and a rockery in it was thrown down. People in
Sowerby Bridge were woke from their sleep, and hurried
into the streets to ascertain the cause. For a time the
tunnel was so tilled with steam that no one could enter.
The poor men inside, however, managed to get out, some
at one end and some at the other. The guard complained
of being hurt on the head and chest, as though he had
been struck or fallen. Perry and Thistlewaite presented
a blackened and sickening spectacle. They were shock-
ingly scalded on the face, head, and arms, Thistlewaite
being the worst. Mr. Turney, surgeon, was soon on the
spot and rendered valuable assistance. Hargreaves was
able to proceed home. but the other two men were con-
veyed to the Halifax Infirmary. The cause of the explo-
ston is supposed to have been too high pressure of steam.
The structure of the tunnel does not appear to be much
injured, nor the train damaged, but the engine is de-
stroyed.—leafs Nereery.
