Without Albert Trott and Mr. Beldam, who were injured in the match against Essex, Middlesex were considerably handicapped, despite the presence of Mr. Wells and Mr. R. N. Douglas in the team. They did not very greatly distinguish themselves on the first day for only Mr. Warner, Mr. Bopanquet and Mr. Weils made over fifty. The partnership between the two latter produced 80 runs in an hour and ten minutes. For Somerset Mr. Palairet and Braund put up 85 for the first wicket, and when stumps were drawn, the total was 103 for two wickets. At lunch time on Tuesday this had been increased to 169 for three wickets, Somerset then being 96 runs behind. Nearly all the team played good cricket, but Mr. Pala’ret’s innings stood out most pr minently. Befo>e stumps were drawn, Middlesex lost two wickets for 57, and were still 52 runs behind. But Mr. Robertson and Mr. R. Douglas made such a stand yesterday morning that the situation was almost saved. Mr. Wells and Mr. Robertson made Middlesex absolutely safe, the former playing a wonderfol game. M io d le se x . First innings. Seccrad innings J.

HAMPSHIRE v. DERBYSHIRE. Played at Derby on August 5, 6, and 7. Hampshire won by five wickets. The bowling of Llewellyn and Mr. Raikes proved to be too good for most of the Derbyshire batsmen on Monday, and although Burton, Storer, Chatterton and Mr. Lawton all did very well the total was disappointing. At one time there were only two wickets down for 132, and Derbyshire seemed about to make a big score, but there was then a breakdown in the batting. Hampshire began badly, losing two wickets for 10, but Captain Greig and W«bt> then played out time, the former beiog not ou-1; 55, and the latter not out 6-5. They had added 121 runs in an hour and twenty minutes, the total being 13 for two wickets. On Tuesday morning. Captain Greig was caught at the wicket without having increased his score; he had played a remarkably good inniDgs without giving a chance. Afterwards Webb and Barton did well, the former takiog just as long to make his runs as Captain Greig, viz., an hour and three-quarteis. The laii would have done badly but for the fine innings <3f Mr. Raikes. Derbyshire scored 150 for four tickets before stumps were drawn, and were thus 138 runs on. Yesterday Chat­ terton played wonderfully good cricket and Mr. Law- on hit brilliantly; in partnership the two men made 91 in an hour. Hampshire were left to get 290 in four hours, and as they lose Captain Greig and Mr. Robson for 27 runs things looked bad. But Mr. Sprot played a splendid innings wfcich quite alt red the appearance of th^ game. He received such valuable assistance from Barton and Mr. Raikes that Hampshire won a splendid victory in the nick of time. D er b ysh ir e . O. M. R. W . O. M. R. W.

LANCASHIRE v. YORKSHIRE. J. t . b r o w n ’ s b e n e f it m a tc h . Played at Leeds on August 5, 6, and 7. Drawn. Attracted by the fine weather on the Bank Holiday, and by the prospect of seeing some good cricket, some 32 000 people were on the Leeds ground during the day, an attendance which exceeded the previous record for the ground. Indeed, so large was the crowd that it could not easily be managed, and after luncheon the efforts of the police failed to clear the ground in the usual time, while, as it was impossible to keep everybody behind the railings, the boundaries were shorter than usual. 'Jhere is nothing new in this sort of thing, and at some time or other on almost every ground the accommodation for an exceptionally large crowd has proved insufficient. The spectators had the pleasure of seeing Yorkshire bat during the whole of the day, while a little excitement was thrown in by the dismissal of the first three men for 23 runs. The chief feature of the day’s cricket was the stand made by Mr. Mitchell and birst, which produced 122 runs for the fifth wicket at a time when a stand was very much needed. At the end of the day Lord Hawke and Hunter put on 52 for the last wicket, and the total was brought up to reasonable proportions. There did not seem any prospect of a good total when Lord Hawke came in, so that his very well played 55 was all the more appreciated. Mr. Mitchell, who made the highest score of the day. was at the wickets for about two hours and a half, and his innings included nineteen 4’s. On the next morning Lancashire, after losing Mr. Garnett, did pretty well, but when 87 runs were up for the loss of two wickets, rain putin an appear­ ance, and the game was interrupted f r ten minutes, after which Mr. Maclaren and Ward made a pro­ longed stand, putting on 134 in two hours and a quarter, Ward doing very little except keep up his wicket. Mr. Maclaren was the first to go. having played his best innings of the year; he was at the wickets for three hours and a half. Mr. Eccles then played a good innings, and Ward was unconquered when p’ay ended for the day, Lancashire being ten runs ti*the go.d with four wickets in hand. Yester­ day morn'Eg, after batting for four hours and three quarters. Ward reached his hundred. With a balance hgainst th°m of 91 runs, Yorkshire lost three wickets so quickly that there siemed just a possibility that they might lose the match, but at this critical time Deuton and Mr. Mitchell made a stand which got their side comfortably out of danger.
