The Essex County Club opened its home season most auspiciously at Leyton on Friday last. It was fortunately able to put in the field the identical eleven as announced in our last issue, and favoured with the return of perfect cricket weather, and the presence of the champion, scored a success that should prove very beneficial in every way. The team which opposed M.C.C. was practically the County eleven with places found for Mr. A. S. Johnston, who has played for Middlesex occa­ sionally, and Cutts. The latter, who hails from the North, is engaged for the season by the Wanstead Club. He is a left-handed bowler rather above medium pace, and as he had a share during the two days in the dis­ missal of all the best Marylebone batsmen, including Dr. W . G. Grace, his debut in im ­ portant cricket may be considered vory pro­ mising. Essex winning the toss Messrs. Lucas and Owen made such good use of a perfect wicket that luncheon time found them still together. Their partnership eventually realised 186 runs, the result of over three hours’ batting. Mr. Owen was the first to leave, his contribu­ tion of 85 being the result of sound and care­ ful cricket. Mr. Lucas stayed until his total had been raised to 107, His play was quite up to his best form, and every one will be pleased to see him so appropriately signalise his first appearance for his new county. jkessrs. ^ o ^ m ^ r ^ ^ o n T O r ^ u ffe H -rW ith Burns, helped to bring the total to 311,'and as there were only six minutes left for M.C.C. to bat, there was a good attendance on Saturday in anticipation of seeing Dr. W . G. Grace play his first innings at the East End. Nor were his admirers disappointed as he was in quite his best form, and though he played a oareful game for his 71 runs, his hitting was at times as powerful as ever, while the manner he placed good length balls and scored off them was thoroughly appreciated. Mr. Bishop bowled with great success, his six wickets costing a little over 1 1 runs a-piece, and it was mainly owing to him that the M.C.C. had to follow on in a minority of 137 runs. There was great cheering when Mr. Bishop, with a very fast one, bowled W . G. in the second innings, and as the early batsmen failed to make any lengthened stay, six wickets were down for only 59 runs. The game then looked a moral victory for the home team; but A. Hearne, who had been put in much too late in the first innings, was here joined by Mr. Rodriguez, and by steady cricket the pair drewthe game. Though Hulme’s eight wickets cost as many as 134 runs, he clean bowled geven batsmen, and without him the club would have fared badly, as Hearne’s 51 overs produced 68 runs without a wioket, and Mr. Grace’s one wicket cost 63 runs. Mr. Bishop took nine wickets of M.C.C. for 103, and Cutts five for 80 runs. E s s e x . Mr. A. P. Lucas, b Hulme ................ 103 Mr. H. G. Owen, c Pease, b Curteis ... 89 Mr. R. C.

Gloucestershire was only able to put a very moderate eleven into the field at Lord’s on Monday to oppose a strong side of Middlesex, and, as was to be expected, paid the penalty. Owing to an accident Mr. E. M. Grace could not play, and in the absence of Messrs. J. H. Brain, F. Townsend, and W . W . Pullen, places were found for Mr. D. L. Evans, of the Loretto School Elevens of 1887 and 1888, who made his first appearance for the county, Mr. Murdock and Turner, a fast bowler, who was tried twice in 1886. Mr. W . G. Grace, too, was unlucky enough to lose the toss, but still Glou­ cestershire did fairly well, and with a wicket all in favour of run-getting, the Middlesex total of 237 was, all things considered, by no means a surprise. Messrs. Stoddart and Webbe put on 45 for the first wicket, and the latter stayed until the total was 226. He was batting altogether for two hours and fifty minutes, and his steady cricket was of the greatest value to the side. In a different way Mr. Hadow deserved as high praise. He made 60 out of 68 while he was in, and his inn­ ings, which only occupied three-quarters of an hour, was a brilliant display of free cricket. When Gloucestershire went in the young amateur, Mr. Bacmeister,succeeded in bowling Mr. W . G. Grace for eleven, and the rest shaped so badly against Burton and Mr. Nepean that the side were all out for 79, of which Mr. Cranston contributed 37. Burton did an extraordinary performanc3 with the ball, taking six wickets for only 21 runs. In the follow on, Messrs. Grace and Radcliffe showed to much greater.advantage, atfd after putting on 46 overnight, raised the total on Tuesday morning to 105 before Mr. Radcliffe was caught for a well-got innings of 55. Mr. Grace, however, continued to score until he had just passed the hundred, when he was caught at mid-off. He was in just over three hours, and though at the outset he was not at home, the latter part of the innings was in every way worthy of him, showing all his characteristic judgment and power. Mr. Griffiths, Woof, and Turner also lent useful assistance, and through their help the total ultimately reached 297. Burton was again successful, his five wickets realising 80 runs. With 140 to win, Messrs. Stoddart and Webbe opened the second innings of Middlesex, and the first hour produced 70 runs with both batsmen still in. At 77 Mr. Webbe was caught, but Mr. Stoddart saw Messrs. Scott and Hadow retire before the winning hit was made, Middlesex securing the victory ten minutes before seven o’clock on Tuesday with eight wickets to spare. Mr. Stoddart hit in brilliant style, but with some luck, for his 78 not out. M id d l e s e x . First Innings. Mr. A. E. Stoddart, c Murdock, bRoberts 21 Mr. A. J.
