J u l y 4, 1895. CRICKET A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 251 SURREY v. MIDDLESEX. Lockw ood, w ho has,been in in different health fo r a week or tw o was le ft out, in th is m atch commenced at the O val on M ondfty, both counties were w ell repre­ sented. M iddlesex had the good fortune to w in the toss, and after H aym an had left, M ‘Gregor helped Stoddart to add 46 runs fo r the second w icket. The latter’s 75, though he was let off by W ood, who failed to break the w icket, a t 20, was a freely-played innings, and m ost valuable to h is side. S ir T im o th y h it up 53 in fifty-three m inutes in h is u sual style, and tw o or three other m en m ade decent scores, the to tal reaching 246. A few m inutes on ly rem ained fo r p la y on M onday, and Sm ith and M . Read were sent in , the latter losing h is w icket fo r 5 before stum ps were drawn. O n Tuesday, Sm ith was soon out, an d H ayw a rd le ft at 25, the w icket p la yin g very queerly after ra in in the n ig h t and sunshine in the m orning. W a lte r Read played a fo rcin g gam e, h ittin g H eam e so severely th a t Stoddart relieved him , w ith the effect of increasing the rate o f scoring, 32 runs com ing in 20 m inutes. A t last A b e l w as caught fo r an adm irable 43 m ade in 90 m inutes. H is partnership w ith W . W ., however, had lasted little over 50 m inutes, and produced 74 runs. W a lte r R ead le ft soon after, and the on ly sem blance of a fu rth er stand was 20 runs p u t on by B rockw ell and Street, Surrey being 95 runs behind on the first innings. Th e w icket had m uch im proved when M iddlesex w ent in , and th e ir batsm en played a free and confident gam e. H aym an an d Stoddart scored 67 in an h ou r fo r the first w icket, and w ith M cG regor as a partner, the latte r nearly doubled the score before being caught a t cover-point from a lo fty hit. H is 67 in clud ed ten 4’s, and was played in 105 m inutes, but at 20 he played a b a ll from S m ith h ard in to his w icket w itho ut rem oving the bails, another b it of luck. M cG regor, join ed by Lu cas, played very fine cricket, and 66 runs were p u t on in 35 m inutes before Lu cas put up a b a ll from M . Read, w ho had gone on as a lrst resort. T he same bow ler dism issed M cG regor for 82 (made in 105 m inutes, and in clu d in g eleven 4’s), the largest in n in g s he has played fo r M id d le se x ; and from Read also O ’B rie n was b e a u tifu lly taken by B rockw ell from the last b a ll of the day. Yesterday the in nin gs was closed w ith the score a t 290 for nine wicketa, Surrey thus being set 386 to w in. M . Read and A b e l m ade a capital start, the 100 going up w ith no w icket dow n, b u t Read was taken at p o in t by O B rie n w ith h is score a t 61, m ade in 100 m inutes batting. A b e l and H ayw a rd continued to bat in good *^rm ’ ^-kel reaching h is 50 after b a ttin g an hou r and three quarters, and, though both were eventually dis­ posed of, an d W a lte r Read failed, H o llan d and B rockw ell defied a ll the M id d le sex bow ling, and Surrey were w ith in 83 runs o f th e ir opponent’s score, w ith only fo u r w ickets down, when the m atch ended m a draw , a very fine perform ance by the Surrey batsm en, whose side had by no means the best of the lu ck o f the gam e.

ESSEX v. YORKSHIRE. A t Leyton, on M onday, Essex m ade b u t little use of th eir lu ck in w in n in g the toss, and three on ly o f th eir batsm en were seen to advantage, Owen, M cG ahey, and K o rtrig h t (the last nam ed n o t out) scoring 94 o f the 118 runs from the bat. B row n , Tun n icliffe, and Denton opened Y o rksh ire ’s in n in g s so w ell th at at the draw ing o f the stum ps the N ortherners were bu t 35 runs in the rear w ith only B ro w n ’s w icket dow n. 17 runs were added before the second w icket fe ll, b u t the ground rendered the bow lers such great assistance th a t six m en were out fo r 128. M oorhouse and H aw ke, however, added 40 fo r the seventh, and H aw ke and H irs t 26 fo r the eighth partnership, and in the end Y o rksh ire le ft off w ith the useful lead of 81. Essex started shockingly badly by losing tw o wickets, one in Peel’s first over, and one in H irs t’s w itho ut a ru n being scored, b u t thanks to M cG ahey, w ho played capital defensive cricket, and w as in an h ou r fo r 21, they were saved from u tter collapse, though six w ickets had fallen fo r 44 when G oslin g and M ead became associated, and 35 m inutes rem ained fo r play. B y careful play the pair p u t on 27 runs and nearly played o u t tim e, the professional leaving e ig h t m inutes before the close of play. Y esterday, Russell, who had been h u rt w h ile w icket-keeping, was too unw ell to bat, and the tw o outstanding Essex w ickets took the score to 105, leaving Y o rk sh ire w ith b u t 15 to w in. The usual order was departed from , and K o rtrig h t dism issed three batsm en fo r 10 runs, but, of course, the resu lt was beyond doubt, Y o rksh ire w in n in g b y 7 w ickets.

A t C a tfo rd B ridge, on M onday, K e n t had b y jio m eans th e ir best team against Sussex, who were about fu ll strength. They had, however, the fortun e to w in the toss, and w ith slig h t interruptions from ra in rem ained a t the w ickets a ll day for the loss o f seven w ickets, scoring 281 runs. F o r th is re su lt they were chiefly indebted to J . R . M ason, who scored 62 ou t of 106 for the first w icket, A le c H eam e who played a fine patient gam e fo r 59 in eighty-five m inutes, Easby who m ade another of h is u sefu l scores, about 40, and L e Flem in g , w ho w as s till not out for 57. Th e last nam ed, on Tuesday, increased his score by 5 only, he was ba tting eighty-five m inutes for h is runs, w h ich included only 8 singles. Th e three w ickets realized 38 runs. Sussex m ade a very bad start, M a rlo w being out fo r 0, and despite a good display by R a n jitsin h ji, who scored 30 out of 58 in an hour, five w ickets were dow n fo r 66. Bean and N ew ham , how ­ ever, added 53 in fo rty m inutes, b u t a ll the other batsm en fa ile d and ‘Sussex follow ed on, 178 behind M a rlo w ag ain faile d to score, and R a n jitsin h ji again came to the rescue. W ith W ilso n he p u t on 65 in forty-five m inutes for the second w icket, and w ith M u rdoch 49 in th irty-five m inutes for the th ird . H is to ta l of 58 occupied h im ju s t over an h our-and -a-h alf and w as played w itho ut a chance, and w ith com plete com m and over the bow ling. B ran n and Bean added 28 in the la st tw enty m in utes on Tuesday, an d yester­ day, pla yin g splendidly p u t on 71 in the first hour, the w icket ad din g 149 in ninety-five m inutes. B ean ’s 89 was a w ell h it an d plu cky score, and included fourteen 4’s. H e was w e ll supported by B ran n , who how ever occupied tw o hours in getting h is 58. B u tt and T ate m ade 46 w h ilst together, and K e n t after a ll were set 168 to w in. Lo sin g H eam e fo r tw o they started badly, but M ason and Easby p u t a better com plexion on affairs, scoring 69 between them , b u t being badly supported, and Tate and Bean b o w lin g w ell, the later w ickets realised so few th a t a ll were .o ut for 122, Sussex thus w in n in g by 45 runs.
