J une 7, 1900. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 181 LANCASHIRE v. HAMPSHIRE. Played at Southampton May 31, June 1 & 2 . Lancashire won by five wickets. Mr. MacLaren’s batting dwarfed everything else in this match. In the first innings, in partnership with Ward, he put on 121 in an hour and three quarters, his own share being 79. In the second innings, after he had decided not to allow Hampshire to follow on, he went in with the obvious determi­ nation to make runs quickly at all costs, in order to secure a victory for his side, and made 102 in an hour and a quarter. Ward played two exceedingly patient innings, his second score of 26 having taken him two hours and ten minutes to put together. The Hampshire men, or rather Mr. Hill and Mr. Sprot, made a fine effort to save the game, their partnership in the second innings producing 104 runs, and the match was not decided against the team until just before five o’clock, lhere seemed a very fair chance that-Hamp-hire would make a drawn gam®, but when Cuttell went on for the second time in the innings he met with remarkable success, bowl­ ing seven overs for 12 runs and four wickets. Among the other batsmen who distinguished themselves during the match were Mr. Eccles, Cuttell, Mr. E. J. Newton and Mr. D. A. Steele. L an c a sh ir e . First innings. Second inniogs. A.C.

MIDDLESEX v. YORKSHIRE. Played at Lord’s on May 31, June 1 & 2 . Yorkshire won by 6 wickets. But for some bad mistakes in the field Middlesex m ight perhaps have won this match without much difficulty; as it was the mistakes were made at a time when they were most fatal. At the end of the first day’s play, Yorkshire with nine wickets still in hand, were nine runs on, so that even thus early in the game the result of the match promised a very easy victory for Yorkshire. In the absence of Mr. Warner owing to a bad strain, the Middlesex batting was greatly weakened, and on the whole it was not exhilarating to watch the cricket shewn by the team. The exceptions were Mr. Hayman and M*r. Nicholls who both showed excellent form and played the bowling with confidence and skill. After lunch Rhodes and Mr. Ernest Smith brought about a very decided collapse ; at lunch time the total was 155 for two wickets only, but the remaining wickets only' produced an additional 47 runs. The first 100 runs in the match were made in an hour. Brown and Tunnicliffe played sound cricket when Yorkshire went in. They contented themselves with waiting for loose balls, of which there were not a few. It was not until 135 runs had been scored that the first wicket fell, Tunnicliffe being out to Trott for 79, made in an hour and forty minutes. Denton came in and played so well with Brown that when stumps were drawn the total was 211 with the two batsmen still in. During the night there was very heavy rain. The result of this was that the two men who had mastered the bowling on the previous afternoon were unable to do anything with it. and in a few minutes both were o u t; Brown’s fine innings of 96 had been put together in two hours and forty minutes. With the exception of Haigh, noue of the rest of the team made a stand, and only 96 runs were added before the innings came to a conclusion, Hearne and Trott bowliug remarkaby well. At the end of the day Middlesex put on 100 runs for the loss of three wickets, and were thus only five runs behind, so that there was still a probability of a good finish. On Saturday, Mr. “ Tindall” and Trott made a good commencem ent, and when the latter was out Middlesex were 69 runs on. After this there was a great collapse before the bowling of Haigh, Mr. “ Tindall ” alone making any resistance, and in the end Yorkshire had to make 98 to win. When Mr. Griffin went in he had already made three duck’s eggs in succession, but receiving a full pitch the first ball he scored a single, and was thus happily saved from nearly a fourth duck's egg in succession; he seems at present to be one of those modern players who are entirely fast wicket batsmen. The Yorkshiremen had to fight for their runs. The batting of Mr. Smith affording a striking contrasttothatof the professionals who had been beaten over and over again ; nineteen runs were required when he went in and he made them all in a few minutes, not by rash batting but by well timed boldness.

Drawn. For this match Dr. Grace had got together a stronger team than usual in batting, but for bowling he had to rely on himself, Braund and Kobson. The feature of the match was the batting of “ W .G.” and Mr. Murdoch, who both showed a large measure of their old skill. For Cambridge Mr. Wilson and Mr. i aylor greatly distinguished themselves, and Mr. Dowson bowled well in the first innings. Second innings. 22 29 10 L ondoji C ounty . First innings. W . G.
