J une 10, 1897. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 205 while Tunnicliffe only missed his hundred by 4, and Brown by 11.

ESSEX v. LEICESTERSHIRE. Played at Leyton on June 7, 8 and 9. Abandoned. Sopoorly has Leicestershire done this season that it was amatterfor surprise that such alarge crowd went to Leyton on Monday, for your holiday crowd likes to seea good fight. As it happenedmost of the fight was shown by Leicestershire on the holiday, and it was not until the evening of Tuesday that Essex seemed likely to have the slightest look in. For once the Leicestershire batsmen delightedtheir friends and surprised their opponents, while the bowlers were in form far above the average. On the whole the Essex batting on Monday was disappoint­ ing. It was not that no one could make runs, but that somany of themgot out first when they seemed aswell set as they couldwish ; when they seemedto havequite taken the measure of the bowling. The only man who survived this stagewas Russell, who showed very good form in making his 46. When Leicestershire went in the spectators had an oppor­ tunity, lor the first time during the day, of seeing somereallycommanding batting, forKnight obtained a complete mastery over the bowling, and in a little over two hours scored95, being not out when stumps were drawn. Leicestershire had lost one wicket for 138, and were thus only 11 runs behind with nine wickets still in hand. So far the outlook was very unpromising for Essex, and it was not materially improved until towards the close of Tuesday, a day of showers and postponements, when on a wet wicket they made 77 for the loss of McGahey. It was fortu­ nate for them that the Leicestershire tail collapsed with remarkable quickness, or rather it might have been fortunate if it had been possible to play on Wednesday. E s s e x . C. J.

Played at Manchester on June 7, 8 and 9. Abandoned. It was agreat pity that Sugg was unlucky enough to get out for a very small score on Monday; if he had been successful he would have had such a recep­ tion on his return to the pavilion as he would not have been likely to ever forget. Kent did only moderately well, and if it had not beenfor awonder­ fully good innings of 80by Mr. Marchant their score would have been insignificant. Lancashire after losing Sugg, Mr. Tindall and Ward—threeveryvalu­ ablewickets—for tenruns, in a very bad light, pulled up considerably and left off with a decided advan­ tage, thanks to good cricket by Tyldesley (49not out) and Baker 37. There was no play on Tuesday and Wednesday owing to rain, which was exceedingly unfortunate for Sugg. K e n t . J. R.

SOMERSETSHIRE, w . h e a r n ’s b e n e fit. Played at Lord’s on June 7, 8, and 9. Abandoned. Few of the thousands of spectators at this match can have thought that Somersetshirewere likelytobe victorious, without, indeed, good fortune favoured them in a very remarkable way, and when they lost the toss onMonday their prospects sank very low. As thewicket was good and the bowling moderate, the Middlesex batsmen, with few exceptions, made good useof theiropportunities, theonlyconspicuous failure being Mr. Ford, who after his 150against Gloucester­ shire dropped suddenly down to a duck’segg. The first partnership afforded a good example of what was likely to follow. Hayman and Warner, both in their best form, put up 90before they were parted, of which 54 belonged to Hayman. Another long part­ nership followed when Stoddart joinedWarner, and by the time that Stoddart was caught and bowled by Woods for 48,aninnings quite of his best, the Somer­ setshire bowling had lostmost of its sting. Warner went with the total at 195for a very sound and care­ ful innings of 83. A great contrast to his batting was that of Sir T. C. O’Brien, who while he was in scored 80 runs out of 117, hitting as finely as ever. A useful scoreof 28by Dr. Thornton, andanexcellent 41 by the captain put*a pretty finish to the day’s cricket. The Somersetshire bowlers did not showup very well, but Woods and Robson had fairly good analysesunder the circumstances. The innings lasted all the day and closedfor 377. Then therain stepped in. There was not very much play on Tuesday, but on a wicket which did not help the bowlers at first Somersetshire didaswellascouldhave beenexpected, andwhenstumps were drawn they had nearly saved the followon for the loss of eight wickets. The hero of the day was decidedly L. C. H. Palairet, whose 92 was in every respect quite worthy of his reputation. His brother was a very good second to him with 52. Roe, who is in fine form this year, was stumped for a duck, and thereby disappointed all the Elstree boys. No play was possible on Wednesday. M id d l e s e x . H. B. Hayman, cL. C.
