They have been through rather more than half their programme. E ton v. Harrow was more remarkable for the bowling of E. M. Dowson, the old Elsiree boy, than for anything else. This is the third year that he has played in the match at Lord’s. In 1895 he bowled with great judgment and batted w ell; in 1896 he was ill during most of the cricket season, and had, moreover, outgrown his strength, so that he was not at his best. This year he was exceedingly accurate. In the course of the match he bowled 100'3 overs (48 maidens) for 143 runs, and 10 wickets. He can bowl a splendid yorker, but some good judges are of opinion that, taking his bowling all through, there is just a little too much of the machine about it at present. But with his great control over the ball he is sure to improve. The following is a complete list of scorers of over 300 in first-class matches : 1895. A. C. MacLaren, Lancs, v. Somerset ... 424 1876. W . G. Grace, Gloucestershire v. Kent ... 344 1888. W . W . Read, Surrey v. O x ford ...................338 1882. W . L. Murdoch, N. d. Wales v. Victoria... 321 1876. W . G. Grace, Gloucestershire v.

Sussex ... 301 As there was no Middlesex county match at the end of last week, Hamp­ stead were able to put their strongest team in the field against Uxbridge. Under these circumstances, as the wicket was in splendid condition, it was only to be expected that they would win the toss. They made such good use of this that when the innings was declared for three wickets the total was 439. Mr. Hay­ man and Dr. Thornton each made over 150, while Mr. Stoddart carried his bat for 47. W h en the official card first appeared on Thursday at the Oval iu Gentle­ men v. Players, it was seen that, perhaps for the first time in the history of these matches, the eleventh place in the Gentlemen’s team was ascribed to A. N. Other, Esq. In the first innings of the Players at the Oval, Baker was missed by Mr. Kitcal in the long field, and almost immediately afterwards was caught by the same player in almost the same place. Shortly afterwards Hirst was missed by
