BOW LIN G ANALYSIS. Total 885 result in a great measure of ih e excellent cricket of Mr. Murdoch. The Australian cricketer hag not lately been seen to better advantage. He exhibited all bi* usual nerve, and his play was throughout characterised by great confidence. Altogether his Innings lasted over >wo hours and three quarters, and bis score of 54 not out was altogether free from fiult, In spite of his good perform ance, Notts w on by an innings and 67 runs, NOTTS; G lou cestershire .

Th£ Nottinghamshire e’even had an easy thing o f it in their first fixture of the season, commenced on Lhursday last on the Trent Bridge Ground at N ottingham .. On their recent form Sussex were in no way a fa ilch for the powerful com bination re­ presenting Notts,and though on this occasion they were strengthened by the addition of Mr. Murdoch, the Australian cricketer, and Low e, a fast towler, loth j u t qualified by residence, the result was the same as in m ost of the later meet- i< ge, a decisive victory for Notts. Louing the toss, Sussex had t o take the .fie’d first. Just at the outset, too, fortune favoured the.n, and with Mr. W r uht and Shrewsbury both out for 17, things lo o ^ d 'v * r jr prom ising for them. Gunn and Barries, however, toon got the measure of the Sussex bowlers and for the rest o f the iuningsruns came-.ofc.a rapid pace, m uch above the average of the Njrtts eleven o f late years. Uunu was just at firbt not quite at his ease when Humphreys went on, and ne gave half ach an ce of stumping from the lobs. After this, the two batsmen scoied at a great rate, ahd at luncheon time, after just under two hours’ play, the score was 167 (Gunn n ot out 76, and Barnes not out 59). Immediately ou the resumption Barnes was run ouo m leaving his Wicket for a second run, w hich Gunn d.d not try, so that both tatsmen Mere at one end. lh e two professionals i-i an hour and a half had added ’ 52 runs, of which B irnes had co jtrituted 59 w ithout the sem blance of a mistake. Flowers w as also in his best vein for hitting, and forty-five m inutes realited 82 runs, on n u ’s score at the time was 109, and it was his last run, as he fell to a fine catch by Tate off hi own bowling at 250. Gunn had been in only tw o hours aDd twenty minutes, so that it will be seen he scored at a m uch fattar rate than usual. E xcept for the m istake alrc ady mentioned, thtre was no blemish t *mar a characteristic display of s*,ylibh cricket Mr. Dixon and Flowerp, following iho fxam p e of the previous batsmen, made ruts rap’diy.and the total was 326 with only fo r bats­ m en out. Here Humphreys resumed with his lobs, and ihis time he m et with m arked success. A good catch at cover point dif-missed Flowers for a finely hit 92, and although Mr. D »fc and Attewell m ade a short stand, the rest did so little that the innings cam e to an ur,expectedly early c ose, the ast five wickets only adding 46. T he col apse was due entirely to Hum phreys. After going en at »v6 he delivered seventy f.u r balls for b 7 runs and six wicke s, a perform ance o f no sm all m erit against such a side. L eft with an hour for batting on Thursday night Sussex, thanks chiefly to Bean, fared m oderately we 1, lOMng three of their I es>> bathm en only before the end of the day for 72 runs. On frriday m orning the later batsmen of Sussex offered a very fteble resistance to Mee’s bowling. He made the tall get up very danger­ ously at times and as the tick e t had already shown signs o f wearing, his extrem e pace rm da h m anything but pleasant. Anyhow, the Sussex tail were teen to great disadvantage, and in about an hour the seven wickets fell for an addition of only 39 runs. Mee’s figures were remarkable. He took nine of the ten wickets in ninety flveballp, at a cost of only 54 runs. Sussex, following on no less than 265 runs to the bad, had a hopeless task before them .

SURREY v. ES3EX. On paper the e’even sent to reptesent Ess x against burrey at the Oval this week could rfally never have had the shadow of a chance. Mes-rs. Lucas, Owen, Johnston, Kowe, and Taberer were none of them able to play. Burns, too, who has not yet got over an injury to his knee, was also an at eentee, so that the t atting at all events at the disp< sal of tire County was inadequately repre­ sented. On the other hand, except that Mr. W. W. Read was away, Surrey had m uch the same side as that that had been 60 successful in the two pre­ vious matches. For the third tim e in succession the Surrey captain lost the toss, so that Essex had the first knock Still, although the wicket was in excellent condition, they failed utterly, being dis­ missed in an hour and fifty minute* for the small total o f 63. Their failure was due to the effective bowling of Richardson and Brockwell. The form er clean bowled the first five batsmen, and in all got six wickets for 38 runs. Brock jvell did not go on till the score was 45, and then m et with sensational success, obtaining four of the last five wickets for only 2 runs. W hen Surrey went in to bat Brock­ well followed up his good bow ling by som e free hitting. In an hour and twenty m inutes he scored 60—a good display of punishing batting w ith som e little luck. Still the early part of Surrey’s innings did not seem to presage a tig score. Six batsm en were out for 122, and though Mr. Key and Baldwin added 51, even then there was n > certainty of a total much over 200. As it was, Mr. Shuter and Baldwin scored at a great pace when the Essex bowling lost som e o f its sting, and with an interruption o f twenty minutes from rain, the score was raised to *267 by the end o f the day with out another wicket. On Tuesday m orning Mr, Shuter was soon caught, but Baldwin saw Marshall and Richardson retire as well, carrying out his bat for 86. For this score he was in two hours and a h alf—a capital display of w atchful cricket. Rain fell heavily after the players had retired for about an hour, so that Essex,whowere 260 to the bad,did not begin their second innings till after lunch. Surrey’s outing again was only a short one, as Freeman, who was ninth out for an excellent 27, alone showed any form, and in a little over an hour and a half the match was over—an easy win for Surrey by an ionings and 190 runs, Brockwell's bowling was *gain anlmportant factor in the dis­ missal of the Essex batsmen, In the match h« delivered 14 overs and 9 balls for 20 runs and 0 wickets, besides maki- g60 runs in his own innings E ssex , First Innings, Mr. H.
