A ug . 29, 1895. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 379 SURREY (2) v. STAFFORDSH IRE. At Kennington Oval, August 26 and 27. The great strength of the Surrey second string has nowhere beenmore fully exemplified this seasonthan in this the last match of their season. The score almost speaks for itself, but the bowling of Nice and Keene has rarely been seen to greater advantage. The unbroken series of victories won by the second eleven augurs well for Surrey’s future prospects, but already it has been more or less seriously suggested that an interesting game would be Surrey First Eleven v. Next XV. Haves was unlucky in not reachinghiscentury, and C.C. Mott, inStaffordshire’s first innings, deserved better support. Surrey won byan innings and 180runs.

At Taunton, August 26th, 27th, and 28th. This match had been set apart for the benefit of Nichols, the ex-amateur who has been one of themainstays of Somersetshire cricket since she became a first-class county. F. S. Jackson appeared for Yorkshire, vice Moorhouse injured, and the western county was also strongly represented, Palairet for once was out for a single figure score, leaving at 25, and just after­ wards Fowler had a life, but left at 42, and one run later Dunlop was dismissed. Hedley and Woods did little, and half the side were out for 62, but Porch andRoe improvedmatters greatly, thoughthe former was very lucky. At 108Roe was caught for a capital 28, and Porch left at 116. Nichols and Newton made 26for the eighth wicket, and Westcott stayed a long time for 8, Nichols meantime making 31, and when the latter was caught for 42, the highest score on the side, and made by most resolute batting, Somersetshire had prettywell recovered from the bad start. When Yorkshire went in Smith was out at 2, but Jackson and Tunnicliffe in three-quaaters of an hour added 50 before Palairet beautifully caught the professional. Jackson continued a dashing dis­ play until having made 46 out of 71 in an hour he was also finely caught off Tyler, the slow bowler’s hundredth wicket this season. Brown quicklyleft at 82, but Peel and Denton scored well in the last thirty-five minutes, 42 being added before the ad­ journment. Rain, followed by a drying wind,made thewicket playrather queerly, and on Tuesday,Tyler was, at first, very successful. With one added Den­ ton was out, and five later Lord Hawke followed, while at 148Wainwright left, the appearance of the game having thus changed, and when at 153, Peel, after batting an hour for 184, was out, 1. b. w., it looked as if the Somersetshire score would not be equalled. But Mounsey andHirst added35, and the former and Hunter 58 in half an hour. Mounsey’s excellent 58in sixty-five minutes, included a 6, eight 4’s, and six 2’s. Fowler and Palairet made 23 forthe first wicket in Somersetshire’s second innings, and then Dunlop and Palairet made a good st>ind, 66 being put on in as many minutes, when the former made way for Roe. When 56, Palairet gave a chance but escaped, and he and Roe hit so quickly that 94 were scored in an hour and five minutes, when the latter was dismissed for a faultless 44. Porch failed, but with Nichols in Palairet completed his 100, and sent up 200 with the same stroke. At 214 Nichols was out, but in the last forty minutes Woods and Palairet put on 72 and no wicket fell. Woods was twicQmissed at 22, and once at 31, but Palairet gave no further chance. When time arrived, Palairet was not out 148, and Woods not out 35, Somersetshire being 227 mns on, with half their wickets in hand. Yesterday the wicket was in good order, and mns came freely when Somerset continued their inning*. At 309Palairet was well caught at cover-point for a brilliant 165, which occupied him four hours, and included twenty 4’s and seven 3’s. Woods left at 334 for awell-hit 65, made inan hour and a quarter. The innings, after lasting four hours and a half, closed for 353, or 294 on. Yorkshire, who had four hours and thirty-five minutes in which to get the 295 required to win, started badly, losing Jackson, who opened the innings with Wainwrightj at 7. Wain­ wright was then joined by Tunnicliffe, and 50 appeared in thirty-fiveminutes. Wainwright reached his 50in sixty-five minutes, and the 100 appeared in an hour and a quarter. Wainwright and Tunnicliffe each scored 82runs, and thus Yorkshire at one time appeared to have the game well in hand, but Tyler performed the hat trick, dismissing Brown, Denton, and Tunnicliffe, and very little was done afterwards, Somersetshire finally winning a fine match by 29 runs.

No play was possible on Monday owing to rain, an1 on Tuesday the out­ lookwas most impromising. Essexwon the tows,but as soon asthe umpires went out, a deluge of rain fell, and the start was n<t made un*il 3.15. With only four runs scored, Carpenter w*8 taken in the slip*, but Owen and Fane added 39before thecaptain left. McGahey and Fane made another stand, and the score was 72with only two men ont. Then Bennett was put on to bowl with Davidson, and an extra­ ordinary collapse occurred. Fane and Rowe left in one over, and the whole eight wickets went down for the addition of 15 runs. Rain delayed the start of Derbyshire’s innings, but when the game was recommenced, Kortright andMead dismissed Wright and Evershed for 18mns before stumps were drawn for the day. Yesterday, in striking contrast of the experience of Monday and Tuesday, the weather was beautifully fine and warm. The wicket appeared to have recovered wonderfully, and Bagshaw scored at a great pace, completing his 60within the hour, after which he was missed twice. Bagshaw and Davidson added 122in an hour and thirty-five minutes, Bag­ shaw, who was batting fifteen minutes longer, hitting grandly. At lunch time Derbyshire declared their innings closed, with the score 191 for eight wickets, leavingEssex 104to save the innings defeat. Though there was no exceptionalscoring, severalmendid very well, and when time was called, and the match left drawn, Essex were 88 mns on, with a wicket yet to fall. Score and analysis :— E ssex .
