Cricket 1896

228 CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. J u n e 18, 1896. able for only 24 runs between them. Ilearne was the chief cause of the collapse, but Rawlin bowled very steadily. Middlesex aid not fare very well while they were batting on Monday, and Mr. Stoddart alone wras seen to any great advantage; his 41 was the result of very attractive cricket. When stumps were drawn, six wickets were down for 115, so that there was a doubt as to whether the follow-on could be saved, a doubt which was soon done away wath on the following morning, thanks to some good hatting by Sir T. C. O’ Brien and Dr. Thornton. Thillips also played well, and with Hearne, added 37 runs for the last wicket. Nevertheless, Kent entered upon their second innings with a very useful lead of 71 runs, and so well did Mr. Mason and Alec Hearne bat for the first wicket, that when Heame was out for 40, the lead had been about doubled. Another curious change now came over the game, for Hearne bowled Mr. Rashleigh, Mr. Marchant, and Mr. Simp­ son with successive balls, and matters began to look better for Middlesex. But another long stand was made by Mr. Weigall and Eat-by, and when Middle­ sex went in apain, they had very little chance of escaping defeat. Rain came on when matters were looking badly for them, and the match was abandoned. K e n t . First innings. J. R.

The wicket at Leicester last year had not an enviable reputation, and it is perhaps still considered a stroke of policy on the part of a captain to win the toss when his team plays there. Mr. de Trafford was the winner in this match, and with Holland he made a fine stand for the first wicket; his score was 31 out of a total of 47. After his dismissal most of the side did pretty well, especially Holland and Tom lin; and although the Surrey captain managed his fowling with great judgment, the runs came faster than the Surrey men liked. It was a good idea to put on Mr. Read, and he had the remarkably good analysis, for a lob bowler, of four wickets for 32. One feels inclined to doubt whether he has ever before been treated by batsmen with such great respect; he not only bowled 16 overs, but among them were three maidens. The side was out for 170, a total which does not look very large, but requires some beating when W oodcock and Pougher have to be reckoned with on a wicket which helps them. Surrey made a very bad beginning, both Abel and Brockwell being out almost at once to W oodcock, who, encouraged greatly by such success, bowled his hardest and best. When stumps were diawn Surrey had only made 109 for seven wickets, which did not augur well for their chances of success. Hayward carried his bat on the next morning for a good innings of 32, biit although seven of the team made double figuies, the total was 11 behind thit of Leicestershire. In their second innings the home team would have fared badly but for Pougher atd Tomlin, but thanks chiefly to their efforts their county was able to put Surrey in to make 161. Again a discouraging beginning was made, Brockwell and Hayward both falling to Woodcock in a few minutes, but Abel and Street kept in, and aided by occasional showers, played so well that before they were both out, Surrey had the match in hand.

DERBYSHIRE. c h a t t e r t o n ’ s b e n e f i t m a t c h . Played at Derby on June 15, 16 and 17. Drawn. For many years Derbyshire has been greatly in­ debted to Chatterton, who both in batting and bow'ling has been remarkably consistent, and there never was a professional who more thoroughly deserved a benefit. It is satisfactory that the spec­ tators were fairly numerous, and it is to be hoped that Chatterton will receive a good round sum. The toss was won by Notts, who made excellent use o f it, running up a score of no less than 466. Throughout this long innings the bowling was never thoroughly collared until the last man, Hardstaff, joined Gunn, who at that time seemed to have little chance of passing the second hundred, but so well did Hard­ staff bat, that his famous partner was at the end of the innings (not out) 207. Nearly all the other Notts men did well, more especially Flowers, Attewell, and Mr. Dixon. As rain fell heavily on Tuesday, Derby­ shire did not bat, but on Wednesday they had time to finish an innings before rain caused the game to be abandoned. N o t t s .

Played at Taunton on June 15, 16, and 17. Drawn. For the greater part of the first day Somerset were batting on a good wicket, but the scoring was small until Mr. W oods joined Mr. Palairet, when the Hampshire bowling was mastered. Both played fine and attractive cricket. Rain interrupted play at about half past four, and thenceforth cricket was only played under great difficulties. In the end the match had to be abandoned before Hampshire had an opportunity of batting. S o m e r se t . L. C. H. Palairet, not out ............................147 G.
