DERBYSHIRE. Played at Derby on August 7, 8 and 9. Hampshire won by 9 wickets. A very satisfactory first innings was played by the hometeam thanks to a np’endidand chanceless 138made by Mr.W right in three hours and a half, a good 44 by Bagshaw, and a steady 58 by the captain. W right and Bagshaw put on 84 in an hour for the firs'; wicket. As Hampshire lost Capt. Bradford, who has not yet recovered from his long stay abroad, and Barton for 38 runs before stumps were drawn, they had a ttiff task before them. But Major Poore was once more in great form, while Deroyshire collapsed in an unaccountable manner in the second inniogs before Bradford, Steele, and Baldwin, and Hampshire, for whom Major Poore again played splendid cricket, had no difficulty in kneeking off the runs. Captain Wynyard again proved that he has recovered all his old skill, and as the tail played up well there was nothing to choose between the two sides when each had played an inninga.

Middlesex won by an innings and 26 runs. The Somersetshire team are certainly not in luck’s way this year. They have had huge totals made against their bowling, and a couple of individual innings of three hundred, while their batting has very seldom been more than moderately good. On Bank Holiday the batting was disappointing in the extreme, for Hobson and Mr. Newton could alor e make a good score on a good wicket. Hearne bowled splen­ didly, and seems to have got back his form. A striking contrast to this was seen when Middlesex went in, for although Moon, J. Douglas, R. N. Douglas and Rawlin did not make many runs, they seemed to find the bowling easy enough, while Warner played fine but lucky cricket. At the end of the day he was not out 106, and the total was 205 for 4 wickets —nothing remarkable, but brilliant by comparison with that of Someiset. Warner did not keep up his wicket for long on Tuesday morning, but he had done quite enough for his side. His veryuseful innings of 114 was made in two hours and three-quarters. Trott was in one of his most vigorous moods. 1 hree times he hit the ball out of the ground—which is not such a difficult matter at Taunton as it is at some places—and in the course of three-quarters of an hour he hit up 63. A very good inniogs indeed was played by C. M. Well?, and when the end came Middlesex had a lead of 255. This pointed to a victory in an innings, especially when the Somersetshire wickets began to fall quickly again. Trott was in great form with the ball for a time, but the younger batsmen of the team played very fine cricket, while Nichols and Gill made very useful scores. But a defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Played at Bristol on August 7, 8, and 9. Drawn. In the course of less than four hours, which was all the time available for cricket on Bank Holiday owing to showers, the home team made 247 for the loss of nine wickets. The most notable points of the day’s cricket were the batting of Jessop and Rice, in their widely different styles. The former, as is usual with him nowadays, played himself in very carefully indeed, and then made hay of the bowling. His first six runs were put together in twenty minutes; his last fifty in half-an-hour. During his partnership with Rice, which lasted all the time that he was in, only 13 runs were made besides his 56. Rice’s innings was very steady as usual, but it was of extreme value to his side. Board also played a useful inniogs of a more cautious kind than u«ual. An unexpected stand was made by Roberts on Tuesday morning, and thanks to it the total was carried to 300. There was a fair chance that the Sussex men would have all their work to make as many as this, and when Fry was out after a few overs people began to look out for sur­ prises. They had them, but they were not of the kind which they looked for, inasmuch as Brann and Raojitsinbji defied the bowling for two hours and forty minuC28, and brought the total from 15 to 267 before they were parte i. They both played splendid cricket, and neither of them made the least mistake. It is just as well for Sussex that they were both in such fine form, as the rest of the batting was not remarkable. It was pretty evident on Tuesday night that the result would be a draw if the weather held up, for Sussex had then lost five wickets for 368, and were hardly likely to have time to make enough runs and also to get Gloucestershire out. There was never any chance yesterday that the game would be finished. G l OUCE j TERSHIRE. First innings. Second innings. R. W .
