T h e Som ersetshire Eleven, n ow that they have got th eir fa ll side seem likely to m ake up fo r their early failures o f the season, w hen on ly p oorly re­ presented. A t all events, in th e m atch begun at T aunton on Bank H olid ay, and finished yesterday, they show ed to m uch better advantage. T h e first part o f th e gam e did not give any prom ise o f any great success, as th ou gh th ey w on th e tos3 half the w ickets w ere dow n for a com paratively sm all score of 112. W o o d s and L . P alairet w ere the first to turn the gam e in favour o f Som ersetshire, and their brilliant hittiD g in crea sed th e score b y 79 runs in exactly an hour. D irectly th e chief bow lers o f M iddlesex w ere colla red runs cam e very fast, and by th e end of th e day th e total w as 368, w ith eight batsm en out, the last three w ickets having added no less than 247 runs. L . P alairet’s 91 a particularly fine display o f hitting, I n cluding tw o h its ou t o f th e ground fo r six. On T uesday m orning, th e last tw o w ickets of S om ersetshire added 32, aDd th e innings, w hich had lasted five hours and fifty m inutes, thus reached a big total o f 380. D u n lop , though at first h ardly at h om e, hit vigorously later on, and h is 62 was a m o st useful innings. M iddlesex in their turn began w ell, and W ebbe, w h o pu t on 65 w ith S toddart for th e first w icket, w as fifth out, having been in ju st under tw o hours and a h a lf fo r 75, out o f a tota l o f 170, w ith on ly one m istake, before he had m ade a run. T ow ards the last, L u ca s and M c'ire g o r h it hard, b u t still M iddlesex w ere a lon g w ay behind, and when the in n in gs, after th ree h ours and th ee quarters, closed fo r 266, Som ersetshire had a lead o f 114 run?. W oods, as w ill b e seen, w as very successful w ith th e ball, taking seven o f the ten w ickets. F ollow ing on, M iddles-X had an hour and quarter fo r batting on T uesday night, and in this tim e lost Stoddart and O’B rien fo r 81 rune. Y esterday, the innings w as q u ickly saved, and runs cam e so fast th a t by lu ncheon tim e the score w as 215, w ith h a lf the side out. O ’Brien and D ouglas added 8? in an hour by very fine cricket, and soon a fter the la tter’s dism issal O’Brien w as well caught. H e had been in over tw o h ours and a half, and his 8i was qu ite up to his best form . A t lu ncheon F ord and K aw lin w ere in w ith th e total 215 fo r five w ickets. On th e resum ption, the n ot outs kept up the character o f ih e in nings b y som e vigorous cricket. 1 he tw o batsm en had k n ock ed up 101 in ju st over an h our, w hen F ord w as finely caught in the coun try. H enery, as usual, h it out lustily, w hen h e w as out a fter m aking 43 in thirty m inutes, th e innings w as closed . S om ersetshire had tw o h ou rs and ten m in u tes left fo r b attin g w hen th ey entered on the fou rth innings, and th ou gh at one tim e it seem ed as if th ey m ight just lose, thanks to a g ood innings b y H ed ey, they m an aged to play ou t tim e. T he gam e was consequen tly drawn, Som ersetshire w anting 145 to to w in w ith three w ickets in hand. S o m e rset . F irst Innings. M r.W .C .H edley, b H earne 35 M r.H .T.

W ith th e w ick et in a nything like g ood order, high scorin g is to be expected w hen these coun ties m eet. T h ou gh ju st at first the rain m ade the pitch a b it tricky early on M onday at B ristol, still on the w h ole the above con d ition s applied fo r this m a tch , and as a consequen ce th e run-getting w as high. Sussex w on th e toss, but hardly dared to risk the experim ent o f taking the field first. U n der the circu m stan ces, w ith the w icket helping th e bow lers at the o u t»e ',it w as a good perform a n ce for Sussex to rem ain in fo r fou r h ou rs and ten m inutes. S till o f tb e total of 258, as m any as 167 w ere con tribu ted by Bean and W ilson. T h e m ain credit o f th e score, though, was due to the latter. H e m ade 117 ou t o f 181 got during his stay, In ju st under tw o h ours and a h alf. It can n ot be said that his innings w as excep tion ally good, as he ou gh t to have been caught before he had scored, besides tw o other lives w hen he had m ade 24 and 29 respectively. Still it w as a fine display o f pow erful and pu nishing cricfiet. G lou cestersh ire had a little over h a lf an hour for batting on M onday night, in w h ich tim e W .G. and R adcliffe p u t on 44 w ithout the loss o f a w icket. W ith the grou n d m u ch faster on T uesday, the G lou cestersh ire eleven w ere seen to ad­ vantage, and the ou tcom e w as a creditable total o f 273, or 15 ahead o f the Sussex score. The ch ie f con trib u tors to this result were W .G . and P ainter. T h e form er w as in his very best form , and his 75 w as absolutely w ith ­ ou t a chance. Painter, in spite o f tw o lives, hit in brilliant style, and atone tim e it looked as if G loucestershire were in fo r a very big innings. L ow e, how ever, bow led w ith great success at th e finish, and the last five batsm en, as w ill be seen, w ere on ly responsible fo r 24 runs betw een them . As Bean had in jured his hand badly on M onday, in fielding, M urdoch open ed the second in n in gs o f Sussex w ith M arlow , and in the h ou r and a h a lf that rem ained on Tuesday, helped to pu t on 76 fo r the lo?s o f th e latter. Y esterday th e Sussex batsm en fou n d th e G loucestershire bow lers th orou gh ly to th eir liking on the excellent w icket. W ilson again batted w ith great freedom , and he had m ade 82 before h e w as ca u gh t after an innings o f tw o hours and a quarter’s duration. M urdoch, too, w as seen to great advantage, and at lu n ch tim e the score had been in crea sed to 218 fo r five w ickets. M urdoch w as then 61 (n ot out), and w hen, after G uttridge’s dism issal, he w as caught for an exceedingly w ell pla yed 82, he declared. G loucestershire w ere then l"ft w ith an hour and three-quarters fo r play, and 271 to w in. The on ly o b je ct for them w as a draw , aud in this they were successful, the score show ing 94 at a co s t o f four w ickets, w hen the stum ps w ere finally draw n. Sussex, it m a y be added, were w ithout the valuable services o f G . Brann. S u sb e x . F irst Innings. *S econd Innings.
