J une 6 , l39-">. CRICKET A WEEKLY KhCOttD OF THE UAME. 181 WARWICKSHIRE v. SURREY. In this first return match of the season at Birming­ ham, at the close of last week, Surrey experienced very bad luck in not winning, as at half past four on Saturday, when rain stopped play, they lacked but 73 runs to win, and had all their wickets in hand. In their first attempt Warwick did but poorly against Richardson, who had seven wickets, five bowled, for just oyer seven runs apiece. Only two Warwickshire men played with confident e, although the wickefc was in excellent condition. Bainbridge, who went in first was fourth out at 72, for 34 made in ninety-five minutes. The other success was W . G. Quaife, who was not out after seventy minutes batting. Of the others Lilley only made over 20, and he should have been caught when 3 The last wicket put on 28. Surrey began very fairly, with Lockwood out at 33. Then 71 runs were •added by Abel and Brockwell in steady fashion. Holland played out time with Abel, when the score was 136 lor two. The night’s iain did not atfecc the ■wicket, but Abel was soon out for 75, made in two hours and three-quarters. Holland and W . W . R-^ad put on 33for the fourth wicker. and Read and Hayward 45 for the fifth, the former playing very well for his •score. Hayward, and Street who was the not out, also did well, in fact nine batsmen got double figures though no one reached the century. Though rain fell before Warwick commenced their second innings, but a good start was made, Bainbridge and Walter Quaife scoring 84 by good cricket before the latter ■was stumped off Read’s lobs. Four other wickets fell before close of play on Friday, and on Satur­ day morning Warwick wanted 29 runs to avoid the innings defeat, with five wickets to fall. Rain S revented the start until 12.30, and there were elays afterwards from the same cause. No one except Bainbridge did much in the way of scoring, but the old Cantab found several partners who stayed with him while he scored his third century this season. Altogether he was in for four hours and his exceedingly fine innings included eighteen 4’s. lie •pave one difficult chance when 21. As in the first innings Pallett assisted in a good stand for the last wicket. Surrey had an easy task, and Abel and Lock­ wood had scored 10 without loss when rain, as before stated, stopped the match. Score and analysis :— W a rw ic k sh ir e . First Innings.

Since the elevation of these counties to the first class, they had not met until last Thursday at Taunton. Somerset were without several of their regular players, but Hampshire had nearly their strongest eleven. On an excellent wicket L. Palairet and W oods began scoring at a great pace, until at 49, made in 25 minutes, the Captain was caught behind the wicket. Then R. Palaiiet joined his brother, and at the end of fifty-five minutes play the 100 went up, when the former met the same fate as Woods. 53 had been added for the second wicket in twenty-five minutes. Palairet went on batting, until at 166 he was caught at third man for a faultlens innings of 96, including a six and eight fours. He was batting one hundred minutes, and his first 50 was made in thirty- three minutes. Clapp played a useful innings of 60, marred by two chances, one at 19 and one at 36. The innings of 221 occupied two hours and twenty minutes. Hampshire followed with two most uneven innings. Their first innings calls for little comment. No bats­ man failed to score, but Hill’s 24 was the highest total, and W oods’ bowling was so good that all the side were out in eighty-five minutes for 94 runs. In their follow on on Thursday, they put on 61 f.,r one wicket, but on Friday morning after three more wickets had fallen and the score stood at 84, their chance looked hopeless, they then being still 43 runs behind. Ward and Bacon then got together and made a determined effort to improve the chances of their side. Runs came very fast, and 131 were put on for the fifth wicket in ninety minutes. Ward then being out for a well hit 71, including ten fours. Bacon still played finely and found a worthy partner in Soar, but when he looked like reaching his 100 he was out to a fine catch by Tyler for 92, made in a hundred and sixty minutes, with thirteen fours. Soar continued to hit, but no one stayed with him, and the innings was over for 314, leaving him not out for 38, including six fours. Somerset wanted 188 to win. and though L. Palairet made a stylish 33, five wickets were lost for 84, Hampshire then having a fair chance of success, but Fowler and Bartlett added 60 without further loss, and with 44 only to get and five wickets to fall Somerset, on Saturday morning, appeared to have an easy task. Thanks, however, chiefly to Soar, who sent down eight overs and two balls for 13 runs and three wickets, the western county failed to accomplish so much, and Hampshire were left with a win by eleven runs in their first game in the County Championship, a really well fought for and won success, which is highly creditable to the winners.

C. Maclaren made his first appearance this season at Old Trafford last Thurs­ day. On a good wicket the Lancastrians did so badly ia their first innings that eight batsmen were out for 129. Then Paul and Hallam played fine defensive cricket for an hour, and added 41,and after the latter left, Paul hit out freely, and 32 more were put on for the last wicket. Paul’ s, not out 77 was an invaluable innings, and he gave only one chance, to slip when 62. Woodcock did not bowl at all in bis usual form. Leicestershire lost three batsmen for 53 before si umps were drawn, and on resuming on Friday on a wicket damaged slightly by rain the rest of the side added 51 only. Mold and Briggs bowling unchanged throughout the innings. Lancashire made a poor start in the second innings, only Ward being able to withstand Pougher and W oodcock, who bowled so finely that nine wickets fell for a paltry total of 58. Mold was the only remaining batsman, and the innings seemed almost over; but an astonishing stand was made, and in an hour and a half 111 runs were added for the last wicket. Mold’s 57 included eight fours, and is his highest score in a first-class match. Ward carried his bat through the three hours’ innings for 75 with­ out a chance. Leicestershire, who before the last part­ nership appeared to have a fine chance of victory, now had 267 runs to get to win. They did so badly in the last hour of Friday that three good wickets went down for 39, and on Saturday morning the seven outstanding wickets yielded only 50 runs, Lancashire thus winning decisively by 177.
