In the most delightful of weather this match was begun on Monday on a hard wicket, and naturally when Surrey won the toss, it was anticipated that against the weak Essex bowling they would make a bipr score. But something was wrong. With the ex­ ception of Hayes and E. Wiltshire, the Surrey men failed to get going, and it was pretty obvious that it was not so much the fault of the wicket that the scor­ ing was low, as the inability of the batsmen to gauge its pace. They had for so long been accustomed to play on slow pitches, that when they had to take their stand on one which had a little fire about it, they were unable to accommodate themselves to the altered conditions. But Hayes p’ayed a beautiful innings, and seemed to find the pace of the wicket from the first. Up to lunch time there was nothing remarkable about the cricket, and 148runs were made for the loss of four men. But when the game was resumed, l-uckenham, bowling very fast, earned everything before him, his analysis after lunch being 5 overs and 4 balls, 8 runs a"d 6 wickets. The Essex men found just as much difficulty in judging the p ice of the wicket as their opponents, until Perrin and McGahey succeeded in making a stand which pro­ duced 54 runs at about a run a minute. When stumps were drawn, Esrex were only 5 runs behind with four wicktts in hand, McGahey being not out, 63. When play was continued on Tuesday morning, McGahey was again in great form, and a though he did not receive much assistance, he managed to reach his hundred, hitting very hard when ihe last two or three men were in. With a balance of 88 against them, Surrey began their second innings well by scoring 5! without loss before lunch, so that when the game was resumed, they were only 37 runs behind with all their wickets in hand, a most satisfactoiy position after such a poor beginning. But afcer this the cricket was disappointing, until L. Walker and 8trudwick came together and put a much better ap­ pearance on the game by scoring 86 in an hour. Essex had to make 166, and lost Sewell beforestumps were drawn—bowled first ball by Lookwooi. Surr-y made a splendid fight yesterday, and with a little luck the game might ewily have gone in their favour. Perrin played a beautiful innings, and at a most critical time Russell, Buckenham and Trem in greatly distinguished themselves. S u rrey . First innings. Second innings.

MIDDLESEX v. GLOUCESTERSHIRE. Played at Lord’s on May 25, 26 and 27. Middlesex won by an innings and 118 runs. There was a very attractive day’s cricket at Lord’s on Monday, for although most of the Middlesex team failed to distinguish themselves their failure was more than compensated for by the brilliant display of Warner, L. J. Moon, Trott and Griffin. The two former gained the upper hand from the first, and by lunch time had taken the total to 190, Mom being at 95 and Warnti at 93. After lunch they scored more quickly than ever, but when the total was 248 Moon was at last disposed of. The innings had lasted for two hours and 25 minutes only. Both men showed a great command over the ball, and made admirable strokfs. Warner lasted unlii the total was 283. For a time after the first-wicket partnership was broken, the bowlers began to make headway, but when i r >tt and Gnffen came t<gether they were knocked all over the fie d. In 50minutes 94 runs were put on. Grffin, who played a vigorous game, claiming 51 of them. There did not seem much chance when Hearne came in for the last wicket that Trott would re ch his hundred, but Bearne was equal to the occasion and helped Trott to increase the score by another 69 runs. Trott played a really good innings. The only Glou­ cestershire bowler who met with success w^s Roberts, who kept an excellent length. Gloucestershire had a few minutes batting and scored 18 without loss, the day’s play having produced 520 runs. Tired out by their Ion* day’s fie ding the Gloucestershire men did not distinguish themselves on the next morniog, Hearoe’s bowling getting up considerably at times, although he did not take many wickets. Jessop played a maiden over and then was caught at the wicket off Beldam. Never did Gloucestershire look like making a big score, and a follow-on was necessary. In this there was some good batting by Kitcat and Jessop, the latter making 49 in 35 minutes, but just before half-past eix the match was over. M id d l e s e x . P.F.Warner,bRober's 149 L. J.

Although the wicket was hard enough on the first day of the match, it was a little fiery at one end, and the Lancashire batsmen for the most part found great difficulty in making runs. After the great batsmen on the side had failed, Sharp and A. H. Bomby put on 68 in forty-five minutes, and then Eccles and Bornby added 61 in the same time, Bornby plaving a really fine innings. There was a different tale to tell when Sussex went in, for Vin«
