In the gloomiest weather good progress was made in this match on Monday, although on account of the very bad light it was only possible to play for three hours and a half. At the end of the day there was not much to choose between the two sides, for against the Surrey total of 165, Somerset had made 42 for the loss of three wickets. The game began shortly after midday, but at the end of a quarter of an hour it was found necessary to cease operations until after lunch, as the light was about equal to that of a late Novem­ ber afternoon. Although on a difficult wicket the batsmea were uncomfortable when the game began, Somerset felt the want of Cranfleld very much. With Braund in such flne form as he was, and Cranfleld at the other end, things might have gone badly with Surrey. As it was, Hayward played a very steady innings, lasting for an hour and a quarter, while, at the critical time when it was a question whether the innings would not come to an abrupt, conclusion, Walker once more showed determination and skill, and made an invaluable 39. Lockwood, who was in with him for some time, hit out boldly as soon as he left, and it began to look as if he would make 50 or 60, when, with the la't man in, he was rim out in an attempt to secure a short run. Braund, who bowled nearly all through the innings, had a splendid analy­ sis, but Tyler, who reappeared in the team, was not successful. Somerset went in to bat at about half­ past five, but ten minutes before time stumps were drawn on account of the bad light. 8. M. J. Woods was able to play again, and went in first. On Tues­ day Richardson was even more successful with the ball than Braund had been on the previous day, and although P. R. Johnson and Braund made a useful stand, none of the rest could do anythin*, and the total was 63 behind that of Surrey. All went well for Surrey until the last over before lunch, when Holland, who had hardly been at his best, was stumped cff Tyler with the total at 72. Hayward was then not out 29. A long partnership followed between Hayes and Hayward, producing 139 in an hour and a quarter, the former, who made some brilliant hits, making 80 of them. There was no holding 8urrey now, although Hayward was bowled for £8 after a stay at the wickets of a couple of hours, duriog which he made no mistakes, while he often punished the bowling severely. At the tea interval Dowson and Walker were together. These two men took advan­ tage of the bowling being rather loose, and in thirty- five minutes they increased the total by 75. Then three wickets fell in the space of a few minutes, and seven were down for 313. But the innings was by no means over, for Clode at d Lockwood scored even faster than Dowson and Walk.r, making 71 runs between them in half an hour. The result of all this rapid scoring was that Surrey were able to set their opponents tne ta«k of making 456 to win. Somerset had a few minuted batting before stumps were drawn, and scored 10 without loss. Yesterday they made a plucky effort to put a good appearance on the game, and in this they succteded, for although they were badly beaten they did well enough to keep up the reputat ion of the r side for good play under difficulties. But what they badly wanttd was a nun like L. C. H. Palairet, capable at a crisis of making a tcore big enough to give his side a chanc»,and such a man was not fo rthcoming. But F. M. Leo greatly distinguished himself, while Samson, Johnson, Lewis, Braund and Hardy all playtd good cricket. In both Somerset innings Richardson bowled admirably. S u r r e y . First innings.

There was an interesting day's cricket ia this match on Monday, although the Hampshire men were quite outplayed. By the time that stumps were drawn each side h^d completed an innings; while Hampshire, with a balance of 198 against them, had gone in again and had made 9 without loss. In the Hampshire first innings no one could make any stand against Fielder and Bly.he. who made the test possible use of a difficult wicket. For Kent, Alec Hearne was again in fine form, seldom making an undecided stroke, and showing great skill on a wicket which was helping tfce bowlers a good deal. In partntrship he and Burnup put up 69, and his complete innings lasted for an hour and a-half. Burnup was seen at his best, and he has now apparently got into his stride again. He was never in a hurry to score, and played a strictly defensive game, but occasionally ne made beautiful hits. Towards the end of the innings Blaker played most attractive cricket, and in the course of an hour and three-quarters he mide 89, the highest score of the day; his hits included sixteen 4’s. The second inniogs of Hampshire was noticeable chit fly for a first-class display of batting by E. M. Sprot, who went in at the fall of the first wicket and carried h s bat, showing the gr- atest patience all the time. His plucky innings lasted for two hours and ten minutes. The only man who was able to give him much assistance was E. G. Read, who played an excellent innings of 24. H am p sh ir e . First innings. D. A.
