MIDDLESEX Heavy rain on Monday night considerably prejudiced the chances of the home team in this match, begun at Gloucester that day, and Middlesex were able to claim adecisive victory yesterday, wanning by an innings and 87 runs. Losing the toss Gloucestershirewere in the field all the first day, Middlesex realising a big total of 393. Messrs.Webbe and Stoddart put on 90 runs for the first w’icket, and Messrs. Studd, O’Brien, and Dauglish (the Harrow captain, who represented Middlesex for the first time) all punished the Gloucestershire bowling severely. Mr. O’Brien hit Mr.W. G. Grace twice out of the ground for six, Mr. Dauglish once. Mr. Stoddart, whose big score of 485 is re­ ferred to in “ Pavilion Gossip,” played very fine cricket for his 98. He was in altogether two hours and fifty minutes. The wicket was ver 7 treacherous on Tuesday after the rain, and though playjdid not begin till three o’clock, before stumps were drawn 8 wickets of Glou­ cestershire fell before the close for 143 runs. Yesterday morning Gregg and Woof made a capital stand for the last wicket, and thanks to their efforts the total reached 194. Rain, which had once before stopped play, prevented Gloucestershire going in a second time till one o’clock, and then in a minority of 199 runs a bad start was made. Four of the best wickets were down for 39, and though Messrs. W. G. Grace and Brain added 49 runs by ex­ cellent cricket, Burton’s bowling proved too much for the rest and the innings only totalled 112. Burton took eight of the ten wickets at a cost of 50 runs. Mr. F. G. Ford, the Repton captain, also made his first appearance in county cricket in this match. M id d lesex . Mr. A. E. Stoddart, c Woof,b W.G.Grace Mr. A. J. Webbe, b Page......................

DERBYSHIRE. The Derbyshire eleven, for once favoured in winning the toss, were seen to great advantage in this match finished on the Essex ground at Leyton yesterday. F. Sugg, Cropper and Mr. Evershed, the first three batsmen, were easily dismissed, and at the fall of the third wicket the total was only 37. W. Chatterton and W. Sugg, however, changed the aspect of the game, and 159 had been added when the latter was caught and bowled for a well-got 56. Chatter­ ton continued to play capital cricket until the total reached 222, when he was caught. He had been three hours and a half at the wickets and his 113 was free from a mistake. J. Chat­ terton and Mr. Maynard made another stand, and when play ceased at the end of the first day only seven wickets had fallen w’ith the total at 308. Rain prevented a resumption of the game on Tuesday till half-past three o’clock, and 84 were added before the innings closed, Mr. Maynard, who ought, though, to have been caught at point when he had got 47, carrying out his bat for a well-got 76. When Essex went in a bad start was made, Mr. Buxton being caught at the wicket from the first ball. Mr. Francis hit freely, and it was mainly due to his 37 that Essex were able to claim 57 for two wickets when play ceased on Tuesday. Though the wicket was very treacherous yesterday after the rain, Almond played excellent cricket, and with useful assistance from Silcock, who helped to add 77 runs for the sixth wicket, the total was raised to 202, Almond, not out, 84, a most praiseworthy innings. In the follow-on Mr. Owen played well, but Davidson’s bowling proved too much for the majority, and as the tenth w'icket fell with the total at 113, the Derbyshire eleven were left w’ith an easy victory by an innings and 78 runs. Davidson took eight of the ten wickets in the second innings of Essex for only 48 runs. D erbysh ire . F. Sugg, b Bishop ... 4 Cropper, c Silcock, b Buxton............... 11 Mr. S. p .
