Messrs.'Turner and Ferris, who had in Australia proved themselves to be irresistible bowlers on a sticky wicket, found a pitch thoroughly suited to their tastes at Lord’s at the end of last week, and, as will be seen, got Middlesex out twice by themselves for an aggregate of 130 runs. Mr. A. J. Webbe had injured his hand earlier in the week in the Gloucestershire match, and Mr. Buckland was also unable to play. Mr. Bryant, who had made a promising debut as a wicket-keeper against Yorkshire, again displaced Mr. Wei- man, and Lord George Scott and J. T. Hearne, who had bowled well for the Middlesex Colts in the opening match at Lord’s, both made their first appearance in the County eleven. Mr. Vernon, having won the toss, on Thurs­ day morning decided to go in, but the wicket helped the bowlers materially, and Messrs Vernon, Walker and Robertson, the only batsmen to get double figures, were responsible for 50 out of an aggregate of 65 from the bat. Just as the Australians were going in shortly after four o’clock, rain, which had fallen twice earlier in the day, came down heavily, and at six o’clock, the umpires having pronounced the wicket unfit, play ceased for the day When the Australians went in on Friday morning, they in turn found the wicket very difficult, and but for the mistakes which gave McDonnell and Trott each a life, would hardly have fared better than their opponents As it was, the two batsmen hit freely after their escapes, and 74 out of 96 from the bat was the result of their joint efforts. When Middlesex went in a second time in a minority of 29, Messrs. Vernon, Walker and Robertson were again the only batsmen to get double figures, and Turner and Ferris bowled un­ changed as before, dismissing the County for six less than in the previous innings. Turner’ bowling was exceptionally difficult, and as will be seen, he took seven of the ten wickets at au average cost of just over four runs. The Australians, with 34 to win, made a bad start, McDonnell being very finely caught, running catch, at long on, from tr.e third ball delivered, and Trott bowled with the score at five. Bonnor, however, soon placed the issue out of doubt, and scoring 24 of the next 30 gave the Australians the victory by eight wickets. In the match Turner took eleven wickets for 59, Ferris seven for 6J runs. Burton’s eight wickets for Middlesex cost 51 runs.

Af;er his retirement, the only noticeable feature in the batting was the vigorous hitting of Worrall. Though he ought to have been caught when he had made four, his 46 was a very valuable score for the side. Entering on their second innings, the English team shaped very badly against the bowling of Turner and Ferris, and when play ceased on Tuesday night seven wickets were down for 74 runs. Rain was falling yesterday morning when the game was resumed, but the players kept the field notwithstanding, and the Aus­ tralians won in a heavy downpour. There was a capital attendance on both Monday and Tuesday. E l e v e n o f E n g l a n d . First Innings. Second Innings. Mr. W. G.

AN ELEVEN OF ENGLAND . The Australian team, although they had to go in against a fairly good total of 204 for their first innings, had the best of the match begun at Birmingham on Monday, and won yester­ day morning with ten wickets in hand. The England eleven was a fairly strong one with Notts, Surrey, Lancashire, and Sussex all engaged, although the bowling was not very formidable. The Australians losing the toss had to take the field, but did well at the outset, the telegraph only showing 42 on the fall of the third wicket, with Mr. Grace, Ulyett, and Painter, three dangerous batsmen, all out. Messrs. Radcliffe and Wright male a useful staud on the fall of the fifth wicket, and sixty- three runs were added during their partner­ ship, of which Mr. Wright, the first to go, had contributed 26. Mr. Iladcliffe’s batting was, however, the feature of the innings. He was in a little over an hour and a half, and during this time scored 71 by clean, hard hitting. Among his figures were 11 fours. McDonnell and Bannerman began the batting for the Australians, and the score was taken quickly to 68 before the latter was caught in the slips. A t the close of the first day the total was 86 for one wicket, and on the following morning twenty-two had been added, when McDonnell was bowled. His 67 was the result of fine hitting, and among his figures was a six for an on-drive out of the ground. Bonnor, who followed, scored freely, while Trott acted on the defensive, and the partnership had realised 101 runs when Trott was caught for a careful thirty-seven. Bonnor was well caught at long off at 213, having scored 73 out b Turner b Turner b Ferris 0 b Turner 2G b Turner b Ferris ... 11 10 Total .............. 204 A u s t r a l ia n s . First Innings.

Rain yesterday afternoon unfortunately put an end to this match, begun at Nottingham on Monday,, leaving the game drawn in a very interesting state. Notts had the choice of innings, but, though the wicket was in excel­ lent order, were dismissed comparatively cheaply for a total of 162, to which Mr. Dixon was the chief contributor with 34. Lan­ cashire, in their turn, mainly through the good cricket of their captain, began well, and the close of the first day left them with 75 runs for the loss of only two batsmen, Mr. Hornby and Barlow. On the second morning Mr. Eccles was quickly disposed of, but Sugg and Briggs, the next pair, gave the Nottingham bowlers serious trouble. Briggs scored much faster than his partner, and, when they were separated after adding 72 runs, he had done most of the run-getting. Briggs, indeed, made 60 out of 77 runs while he was at the wickets, and his batting during the latter part of his innings was very good. Ward and Pilling made a useful stand on the fall of the eighth wicket, and it was chiefly to their partnership, which realised 51 runs., that Lancashire were able to claim a lead of 77
