J une 14, 1900. CRICKET: A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 203 SURREY v. SOMERSET. Played at the Oval on June 11, 12 and 13. Somersetshire won hy 171 runs. A t the close of the first day’s play in this match Surrey were in a tight place, for they had lost four men for 55—Hayward, Mr. Crawford, Hayes and Lockwood—against a score of 271 by Somerset. Moreover, Abel was not playing to come to the rescue of bis side on the morrow. The cause of this state of affairs was some excellent batting by nearly all the Somersetshire team. For all that Somersetshire could not be considered to have done remarkably well in batting, since Lockwood was unable to bowl for Surrey, and the wicket was good. But Mr. L. C. H. Palairet did not come off, and Mr. Woods was out for 33 - a very small score after his I ig innings at Brighton. In a edition to this, Lewis was run out, thanks to the want of a law upon the question, in the unpleasant way which has caused such annoyance in so many matches He was very well set indeed when, understanding Lillywhite to say ‘ •out” instead of *‘ not ou t” be left his wicket, and of course fetedman promptly put down the wicket—for it was none of lis business to del ate the S ros. and cons, of the matter before knockitg off the ails. Lillywhite prot ably did not care to exercise the responsibility of actiD g on the law w h ich states that umpires are the sole judges of fair or unfair play. It was an unforlunate incident, but unavoidalle in the present state of the laws. After the dismissal of Lewis, Mr. Daniell and Mr. V. T. Hill played splendid cricket ; the latter made his 63 in a little over an hour ty delightful tatting. Owing to a severe thunder- stoim, play was delayed on Tuesday morning until ten minutes to one, and when Surrey continued their innings the outlook was by no means bright for them. But Mr. Jephson played exactly the kind o f told cricket which was required by the situation. Brock­ well did the same. Nevertheless, at lunch time eight wickets were down for 157. The tail once more behaved nobly, and in the end Somerset had only a lead of 42. In the second innings they lost three wickets for 48, and at this stage of the game they could not be said to have any advantage. But a fine stand by Mr. W oods and Robson for an hour and a-half quLe altered the state of affairs. The partner­ ship produced 113 runs. Robson was fourth out; having scored 104 out of 164 in two hours, an alto­ gether invaluable innings. A t the close of the day Somerset were 234 runs to the good with two wickets in hand. Now comes a tale of woe. In the night it rained so heavily that everybody realised that Surrey were in a most awkward position. The last two Somersetshire wickets added 37 to the total, so that Surrey had to make 272 runs to win. For a time they did well enough, Mr. Crawford, Bayward,and Hayes playing well, and then, as the wicket began to help the bowlers, the collapse came—a collapse o f a kind which is heartbreaking to a captain.

Played at Lord’s on June 11, 12, and 13. Notts won by six -wickets. All day on Monday on an easy wicket Notts were battii g. It cannot te said that their scoring was monotonously slow ty any means, for they made nearly four hundred runs, although both Mr. Jones and Shrewsbury were disposed of for small scores. Ih e rate of scoring was pretty level. Nearly every­ body made runs. William Gunn played with all his customary finish, and bis innings was very pleasing to watch ; J. Gunn was not in a hurry to make runp, and Dench played attractive cricket. By far the most interesting period of the match occurred when Mason and Wass were tcgether for the last wicket; in twenty-three minutes they added 55 to the total. After the thunderstorm on Tuesday morning Middle­ sex fared very badly, and although they made a fine effort to save the game in the second innings, they could only set Notts the task of making 33 runs to win. The Notts captain gave his tail a chance of distinguishing themselves, tu t they did not rite to it. N o n s. F.'rst innirgs. Second innings. A. O.
