SOMERSETSHIRE. It was unfortunate that time did not allo^ this match, commenced at Brighton on Thursday, to be finished. The three days’ play was all too short for the batsmen, as thirty-two wickets only fell, and 1,344 runs were scored. Sussex’s first innings of 518 is the highest ever made by the county, and W oods’ 215 for Somerset is the highest score he has ever made, and higher than any one else has ever made for that county. Marlow also broke his record in scoring 155. Another extraordinary circumstance is that Butt, the Sussex wicket-keeper, did not give away a bye all the week. The 1,344 tuds is the highest total but one ever made in England in first-class cricket, and the highest in an inter-county match, the ground at Hove having in 1891 seen 1,402 scored in the Sussex and Cambridge University match. The first long partnership in Sussex’s first innings was'that between Marlow and Ranjitsinhji, who took the score from 47 to 273, the old Cantab’s share of the 226 being 95, a faultless score, including seventeen 4’s. He was in for 125 minutes and gave no chance, before luncheon in eighty minutes he made 42, afterwards putting on 53 in 45 minutes. Marlow was batting exactly a minute for eacn run, and gave but one possible cnance, his cuts and off-drives were magnificent. He hit twenty-nine 4’s. Murdoch batted two hours and a quarter for his 1)4, this score including the large proportion of fifteen 4’ s. Butt, Collins, and Parris all hit freely, and the score was 480 for 8 wickets at the close of Thursday’s play. Resuming on Friday 38 runs were added for the last two wickets, and then Fowler andL. Palairet opened the first innings of Somerset in good style by scoring 76 in fifty minutes. Then in ten minutes three wickets fell, both the Palairets and Fowler leaviog. W oods and Poynton were next together, and the captain began a truly marvellous performance. Poynton helped him to add 193 in 100 minutes for the fifth wicket, the former’s share being 57, and then Spurway assisted him in making 89 in fifty minutes. W oods’ 215 out of 282 in two hours and a haif was hit wi h tremendous power. He was fortunate in two or three catches not going to hand, but gave no easy chance. The innings closed only 53 behind the huge total of Sussex. The second innings were something of an anti-climax. Ranjitsinjhi made 57 in an hour and three quarters, with ten 4’s, and Collins and Parris (who was not out in each innings) made a fine stand, which put defeat for Sussex out of the question. The innings was closed at 4.20 with nine men out, Somerset wanting 297, an impossible number, to win. L. Palaiiet and Fowler again played good cricket for 68 in eighty minutes, and Somerset­ shire, making no attempt to force the game, three were down for 118 when time was called.

WARWICKSHIRE. The M. C. C. had not on paper a very formidable team against Warwickshire at Lord’s on Thursday, but the selected eleven were quite strong enough for their task, and indeed in the end won with ridiculous ease. Warwick were without Bainbridge, Hill, and Docker. M. C. C. winning the toss, commenced bat­ ting with Dr. W . J Scott and Chatterton, and runs came steadily. The amateur should have been caught when 26, but no wicket fell for 100 minutes, when with 92 scored, Chatterton was out for a faultless 55. R. S. Lucas helped Scott to add 74, and his 41 in 65 minutes was an innings o f hard and clean driving. Storer came in and scored freely, the 200 going up after three hours’ play. Scott reached his 100 in three hours and 25 minutes, but 20 minutes later was out for a well played 107. Sir T. C. O’ Brien soon made things lively,*18 by a six and three 4’s coming from Pallett in one over. Storer was out at 298, and though West, Mead, and Hearae, all stayed some tim e.it was not until Pickett, the last man, came in, that Sir Timothy reached his 100, after batting two hours and 20 minutes. When stumps were drawn for the day, the score was 439 for nine wickets. On Friday only nine runs were made before Pickett was out, O’Brien’s, not out 106, including a six and fourteen 4’s. Though the wicket was in good order, Warwick made a very mediocre show. Walter Quaife was well stumped, but then Law and W .G . Quaifemade a finestand and added 62. Glover and Lilley both scored a few runs, but the Club bowlers disposed of the whole team for 127, Heame taking the last three wickets in four overs for four runs. Following on, 321 behind, the County fared even worse than before. J. T . Heame was not put on to bowl, but Mead met with complete success. Law again batted well for 32, the same score as in the first innings, but no one else reached 2“ , though none was out without scoring. The whole side was dis­ missed in five minutes less than two hours for the poor total of 106, the M. C. C. thus winning by an innings and 215 runs. W ith the exception of one over, wheu it was desired that he should change ends. Mead bowled through both innings, and his record was 48 overs, 109 runs, and ten wickets.
