Vaughan, in the second innings of Garth Garmon, went in first, and carried h is bat through the in n iD g s without scoring. Cornwall, for Christowe, bowled seven wickets w ith seven successive balls. “ The above was a match p la je d for Cheltenham College Second Eleven Challenge Cup (first draw ).” SURREY v. D ER B Y SH IR E . Played at the Oval on August 29, 30 and 31. Abandoned. As Brockwell was not playing, while Lockwood did not bowl, the Surrey attack was so much weaker than usual that no one was particularly surprised when Derbyshire kept in for the whole of the flrat day on an excellent wicket. For a time it seemed prol able that there would only be a small total, for the bats­ men seemed uncomfortable, and Air. V\right and Mr. Ashcroft were soon disposed of. Even when Bag­ shaw, Storer and Chatterton came in and stayed for eome time the bowlers had much the best of matters, and when half the wickets were down the score was but 123. But now Mr. W ood joined Mr. Lawton, and the bowling was collared, the la'ter hit ing brilliantly at times, while the former played a most useful but curiously unattractive innings. All the tail did well, the last wicket putting on 68 runs in forty minutes. So unfortunate have the Surrey men been of late that it was very pleasing to see their batsmen once more in splendid form. Mr. Jephson went in fli8t with Abel on Friday morning. rlh ey soon took all the sting out of the bowling, and apparently realising that as all hope of taking up a good place in the championship table had vanished they had not as much responsibility as usual, they played the most pleasing kind of cricket, showing plenty of resource, and taking charge of the bowling in no undecided fashion. They were not parted until they had put on 366 for the first wicket n four hours. Abel was the flr-t to go, only mis.-ing his second hundred by seven runs ; he hit thirty-six 4’s. By the time that he was out the bowling was not very oifficult, but no other batsman made a very prolonged stay. Mr. Jephson was bowled middle stump when he had scored 215— one of the very best innings of his career—after batting for about five hours. When stumps were drawn Hayward was not out 33 and Mr. Crawford had just come in. On Satuiday there was no play owing to rain, to that Baker, a second eleven man who was making his first appearance for Surrey, did not get an innings. D e r b y s h ir e . L. G.

Played at Lord’s on August 29, 30 and 31. Abandoned. Except for the b tting of Mr. Bosanquet and Mr. Robertson, who both played a bold game, the display of the Middlesex men in the first innings was some­ what tame. Mr. Beldam played a useful innings of 23, but took nearly two hours over it. Worcestershire had an hour and a quarter’s batting, and scored 76 without loss—Mr. h . K. Foster not out 53 and Mr. bromley-Martin not out ‘20. Thus they were in an excellent po>iti *n on Friday morring. But Mr. H. K. Foster did not last mu-h longer, while his brother was out when he waa just getting very dangeious; and no one else did much, so that Worcester?hire only bad a lead of 16. In their second innings Middlesex were seen to great advantage. Mr. Warner and Mr. J. Douglas put on 92 for the first wicket, both playir g very pretty cricket indeed, and afterwards Mr R. N. Douglas did well. When stumps were drawn Middlesex were 165 runs on with six wickets in hand. There was no play on Saturday owing to raia. M id d l e s e x . First innings. Second innings P. F.

RANJITSINHJI. Played at Brighton on August 29, 30 and 31. Abandoned. For the fifth time this season Banjitsinhji has played an innings of over 200 runs—a record in itself. The remarkable thing about these big innings of his is that they are not ail played on perfect wickets, but aie often made when nobody else on his tide can do more than keep up his wicket. His last innings of two hundred was altogether remarkable. On a some­ what soft pitch buseex began badly, and at lunch time after some slow play the score was only 98 for the loss of four of the best men on the side, including Mr. Fry and Mr. Latham. Immediately after Junch Ranjitsinhji Bet to work to put his side on a be'ter footing. He succeeded in the most wonderful manner in accomplishing his object. In Mr. Collins he found a most •seful partner, who contented himself with ooing by far the wisest thing in his power, viz., he kept up his wicket, leaving ail the ruu-getting to his captain, who as usual played the game best suited to the wicket. Ranjitsinnji made his fiist hundred in two hours and his second in seventy minutes, fine drives being ihe leature of his game. Alto^ ether he was batting for thiee houis and twenty-tive minutes, his partnership with & r. Collins producing 246, of which the latter claimed onlv 83. Banjitsinhji made his 220 out of 286 scored while he was at the wickets, a truly remarkable proportion. When stumps were drawn the total was 366 for six wickets. The remain­ ing four wickets fell on Friday morning for an additional 10 runs. There was nothing remarkable about the batting of the other side except its con­ sistency. Nearly everybody who went in made a useful score, but nobody showed any ereat command over the bowling. When stumps were drawn the total was 303 for eight wickets. On Saturday it was decided to abandon the match owing to the wet. S u s s e x . C. B. Fry, b Blythe . 33 Relf,c Blaker, b Dillon 15 P.H.Latham, b Blythe 0 K. S.
