Though the wicket at Leyton on Monday was fast it was a little fiery, and the cricket was for the most part slow, only 294 runs being scored in five hours and ten minutes. Owen and Carpenter started fairly well, and the first wicket fell at 39. The fifty occupied an hour and a quarter, and two minutes later McGahey and Higgins were out. Carpenter and Burns put on 36 by some livelier batting, and then the former was out at 88. His forty had occupied two hours. Hailey was hit severely on the elbow by a ball from Rawlin, and then Bums with Kortright in hit away merrily, putting on 44 out of 51 for the fifth partnership. After this wickets fell fast till Pickett and Russell were together, and they put on fifty for the last wicket in capital form. When Middlesex went in Stoddart was bowled by Mead’s fourth ball, and by the time the total was 40 four wickets had fallen. Vernon and Macgregor, however, put a better aspect on affairs, doubling the score for the fifth wicket. When eight were down for 112 things looked very bright for Essex, but mis­ takes in the field threw away the advantage. Dr. G. -Thornton was missed three times at the wicket and once at mid off, whilst once he should have been run out, with these escapes the ninth wicket produced 78 runs, thus makiDg the game very even, and ultimately the innings closed with Middlesex only eighteen behind. Thornton in the end was not out 41, but it ^ ssa lucky though useful contribution. The second innings was not marked by any un­ worthy incidents except a thoroughly good display by Carpenter, McGahey, Higgings, and later on Mead S d Bull lent useful assistance, but Hearne and -Phillips bowled too well to admit of any high scoring, and the innings ultimately closed for 174. W ith 193 w> win Middlesex lost Phillip’s wicket in the short «m e that remained on Tuesday for 7 runs. Any ? 0l*bt as to the result were soon dispelled yesterday y batting of Mr. Stoddart. His well played score ot 67 brought Middlesex within measurable distance ot a win. and some excellent cricket by Rawlin who carried out his bat for 54, finally determined the result, a defeat for Essex by five wickets.

Though to strengthen an otherwise weak attack, Mold was included in the team opposing Oxford in tnis trial game, the Gentlemen’s team was decidedly strong “'in batting. The Dark Blues winning the toss, proved their strength as run-getters against moderate bowling by staying at the wickets all day on Thursday. Even then they only lost five wickets for 386 runs, though this was due in part to faulty fielding by the Gentle­ men. The first five wickets fell at 57, 169,191, 262, and 266, and then Phillips and Smith put on 120 runs in sixty-five minutes before play closed, hitting with great power and rapidity. Warner, who made 90 in two hours and a half, was missed when 15 at third man at 26 at the wicket by F. A. Leveson-Gower who was replaced by Philipson after lunch. He was let off at 37 again at the wicket and at 39, but made his last 40 runs in good style. Foster made no mistake in his 57 and was out unluckily, Lucas at slip failing to hold a catch which he turned to Stoddart at extra slip who held it. Mordaunt’s 41 was a stylish and vigorous innings, and contained seven 4’s. On Friday the Oxford batting collapsed on a wicket, which though affected by rain, did not account for the failure, the last five wickets adding but 14. A splendid start by Hewett and Stoddart for the Gentlemen was not well followed up. Ninety- eight runs were put on in an hour for the first wicket. After Lucas had failed, W oods helped Hewett to add 71 in tliree-quarters of an hour, but then a series of disasters occurred. W oods went at 169, and at 180 Hewett, who had made his 102 in two hours, was caught at the wicket. His innings included twelve 4’s, but should have been closed by a catch at 23. After four more wickets had fallen for 17 runs, Philipson and Leveson-Gower hit well, and Mold also keeping his wicket up a while, Philipson nearly, but not quite, saved the follow on. The second inn­ ings opened none too well. Three wickets fell for 51, but W oods and Hewett then put on 60 in less than half-an-hour. W oods’ 42 included eight 4’s. The later part of the innings was noteworthy only for Philipson’s plucky not out 35. Oxford were left with only 84 to'win, which, thanks to Foster’s fault­ less 46, they accomplished with six wickets to spare. Philipson, in the match, scored 78, was not out in each innings, and caught at the wicket five of the fourteen Oxonian batsmen. Lewis’s wicket-keeping for Oxford deserves special praise.
