J u ly 31 , 1902. CRICKET : A WEEKLY RECORD OF THE GAME. 309 SURREY y. SOMERSETSHIRE. Played at the Oval on July 25 and 26. Surrey won by 91 runs. W ith A bel and Lockw ood away from the Surrey team, and Pdlairet and Braund from that o f Somer­ s e t-a ll engaged at M anchester—neither side could cliam to be m uch the greater sufferer because o f the match between England and Australia. Some very cu­ rious cricket was seen on the first day, and Surrey after having the w orst of the situation, ended up with a decided advantage. In the first innings o f Surrey the bowlers h e ll the upper hand from the comm ence­ m ent, and Lees was the only m an who tackled them successfully. D uring his stay at the wickets o f twenty minutes he m ade 24, not another run being made during this tim e. It was not very encouraging for Surrey when, against their total of 87, W oods and B ill put up 39 in eleven m inutes fo r the first wicket by some o f the m ost brilliant hitting of the season. Only three overs had been bow led, tw o by Richardson producing 26, w hile 13 were m ade off the firnt over by Lees. Then follow ed such a rout for a tim e that six wickets were dow n for 49 runs, and Surrey men breathed again. But H . M artyn upset all calcuations by scoring 49 in a little over three-quarters of an hour, and in the end Somerset had a lead of 44. The Surrey men batted very m uch better in their second innings. Jephson was stum ped at 14, before he had scored, but H ayward and Hayes put together 54 in partnership in half-an-hour, and then Leveson- Gower and E . M . Dow eon brought the total to 135 for three wickets before the day’s play ended. Leve- son-Gower played a very fine gam e on the next m orning, and received very useful assistance from the tail, Clode, Stedman and Richardson all distinguish­ ing themselves. Leveson-Gower was ninth out for a splendid 88 w hich had taken him tw o hours and a quarter to com plete. Somersetshire had now to make 214 to win, but although H ill, Lewis and Johnson all did well, Richardson was in such great form that there was never any prospect that his com ity w ould lose.

Played at Worcester on July 24, 25 and 26. Abandoned. Although the Yorkshirem en were without F . S. Jackson, Rhodes and Hirst they gave a good account of themselves on the first day, scoring 257 against 96 for 5 wickets. E. R . W ilson was included in the team and gave a fine exhibition o f the gam e, while Brown also played excellent cricket. W hen stum ps were drawn, Arnold was not out 49 for W orcestershire. So well did he bat on the second m orning, and so w ell did the tail play, that the total was only 27 behind that of Yorkshire, who, however, by m aking 24? for 8 wickets in their second innings before the day’s play ended placed themselves in an excellent position. Brown again played a great innings, and W ashington and D enton also did well. A t half past one on Satur­ day, the game was resumed after heavy showers had fallen, but when tw o more runs had been scored a heavy storm cam e on, and no m ore play was possible. Y orkshire .

ESSEX. Played at Derby on July 24, 25 and 26. Essex won by 120 runs. The Essex m en had no reason to be dissatisfied w ith the first day’s play in this m atch, as ow ing to the rain which fell and frequently interrupted play, there was every reason to suppose that the wicket would suffer in the later stages, so that their total o f 270 w ould m ost likely be very useful. Buckenham created a surprise by playing a very good innings for 76 in tw o hours and-a-half, but the great batsm en o f the team m ade sm all scores, and it was left for Sewell and the last tw o men, Young and M ead, to do m ost o f the scoring. Sewell m ade some fine hits in his very useful 32, and Mead and Y oung put on 76 for the last wicket in forty minutes. A t the close o f the day Derbyshire had lost a wicket for 5 runs. On the next day Derbyshire did m uch better than had been anticipated, thanka chiefly to a very tine innings by L. G. W right, who was batting for three hours w ithout m aking a mistake. Nevertheless Essex had a lead of 98, and altnough, w ith the exception of Kortright and M cGahey, they did not distinguish themselves in their second innings, they were able to set Derbyshire the task o f m aking 224 to wiu. Derbyshire had five minutea’ batting before stump* were drawn, and although they m ade no runs they lost no wickets. On Saturday M ead and Reeves bowled very w ell indeed, and Derbyshire never had a chance of pulling off the m atch. Second innings. First innings.

Middlesex won by five runs. I t is but seldom that a county has to go through tw o such unpleasant experiences in the course o f a season as have fallen to the lot o f K ent in the last fortnight. They lost the Sussex m atch at Tun­ bridge Wells b y a wicket, and the M iddlesex m atch by five runs after beiDg nearly level w ith their opponents in the first innings with only one man out. On the first day of the m atch K ent seemed to have a m ost prom ising chance o f winning, for while M iddle­ sex had only scored 169 Burnup and D illon had put up 145 for the first w icket in a couple of hours, and when stumps were drawn, the total was 151 without further loss. But on the next day T rott and J. T. Hearne bow led so w ell that the rem aining nine wickets only added 72 runs to the score. Four wickets fell to each of them for 34 runs, the rem aining bats­ m an being run out. W ith a balance o f 54 against them , M iddlesex did w ell in their second innings, for although the only im portant innings was the 46 by C. P. F oley, nearly every m an m ade a useful addition to the scjre. The innings closed for 200, so that K ent had to m ake 147 to win. In the few minutes before stumps were drawn, tiawlin was fortunate enough to bow l Burnup, and the total was 23 for one wicket, leaving 124 still to be obtained. But the w icket did not wear well, and although D illon played a fiae inninsrs, w hile Huish played up nobly when things were going oadiy with his side, the end cam e am id great excitem ent by a run out when a boundary hit
